Nossa Familia Coffee

"This ethically minded Portland cafe chain is more known for its coffee, but the hot chocolate is similarly sustainable and truly good. Nossa Familia works with Sacred Summit, a local chocolate maker that sources organic beans from fair-trade growers, to make a chocolate sauce for its base. As an added bonus, the hot chocolate comes with homemade chocolate espresso whipped cream.

"For nearly twenty years, Nossa Familia’s farm-direct, locally roasted beans have been among Portland’s most beloved — with several roasts named after specific members of the Brazilian-American family that owns and operates the company. One of three Portland cafes, the Ladd’s Addition outpost is airy and inviting, with vibrant plants and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The sustainably sourced and carefully roasted beans speak for themselves in drinks as simple as a drip coffee or Americano, but repeat visitors owe it to themselves to try Brazilian specialty drinks like the sweet, simple cafezinho or the spicy moca fogo." - Nathan Williams
