Kopi Coffee House

"Kopi on Southeast Burnside sources its beans throughout Southeast Asia, often including coffees from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Myanmar. The owners spent 15 years traveling and living in this region learning about coffee farming, and now roast under the name Pagi Coffee Merchants. Visitors will be charmed by the Indo-Malay décor; the charming sloped-roof entrance welcomes patrons to an interior filled with traces of Indonesia, like imported carved columns and paintings of wayang puppet theater. The café menu is also packed with beverages that feature ingredients found throughout Southeast Asia, from Kopi Jahe, an Indonesian ginger coffee, to a take on Vietnamese iced coffee made with cold brew. Alongside these are traditional espresso beverages, visitors can order loose-leaf tea from Jasmine Pearl, breakfast burritos from Higher Taste, and pastries supplied by Bee’s Custom Cakes." - Katrina Yentch, Nathan Williams

"She supplies pastries like creme brûlée mascarpone cheesecake bars and spumoni cookies to various cafes and restaurants around town, from Southwest Portland’s Phat Cart to Southeast Asian coffee shop Kopi." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"To say Portland has a thriving coffee scene is an understatement. Still, Kopi (the Indonesian word for coffee) is unique among the many local greats. Using beans sourced directly from Southeast Asia, baristas prepare drinks like koi jahe — a ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg French press — and kedai susu — a latte with makrut-lemongrass and sweetened condensed milk. In the morning, wake up for stuffed breakfast rotis and coconut rice bowls with bacon, sausage, or curry." - Nick Woo
