Courier Coffee

Portland’s Best Bars and Cafes That Play Vinyl Records | Eater Portland

"One of the ultra trendy storefronts on SW Oak, Courier Coffee is a European pour-over cafe with some interesting menu forays like shave ice and a takoyaki pop-up. A heavy-duty Technics turntable holds down a significant chunk of real estate in the small space, but there’s a deep bench of vinyl behind the counter, and most afternoons there’s something limited-edition spinning under the tonearm. There are only a couple of indoor tables and a bit of uncovered outdoor seating, weather permitting, but that’s all the better for seeing and being seen in true cafe culture style." - Ben Coleman

Where to Eat in Portland, OR | Bon Appétit

"Courier Coffee is a lovely local roaster where I enjoyed a canelé and cortado, and where co-owner Sakiko Setaka’s Soen project serves seasonal kakigori flavors like green tea mochi and fresh peach plus delicately sweet inari and fresh-wrapped hand rolls and sharply curated green teas." - ByJordan Michelman

Where to Find the Best Kakigori in Portland | Eater Portland

"Inside Courier Coffee at 923 SW Oak Street, I found a Soen pop-up that drew a large following for its selection of kakigori; the ice here hews more snowy than feathery, and a standing list of elaborate bowls—incorporating matcha, adzuki beans, and tofu mochi—is usually available, though the specials made with house-made syrups and seasonal fruit are almost always the best move." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Stumptown, Schmumptown. Try Courier Coffee. Right around the corner from Powell's Bookstore and Sizzle Pie, the vibe here is fantastic. The walls are kind of spartan, there’s a record player in the corner, and you can roam on free Internet to your heart’s content. These guys definitely know the food scene here and have great tips. My iced chai latte? Served in a mason jar. Yum and Yum. And those caneles, pictured? They were featured in Portland Monthly. I believe Courier is following the ice cube trend with one big block of ice in either a square or rectangle. I also love the everyday musings on their blog.
