"Public Domain Coffee While in Portland I encourage you to make a point to try out a few of the local coffee shops. One shop of note was Public Domain. They roast what they brew, in town. It only took one sip and it to became crystal clear that crafters knew what they were doing. I had the pleasure of a perfectly roasted and prepared Ethiopia Yirgacheffe varietal whose blueberry and cherry notes left me unable to stop grinning until well after the last sip."
Really great coffee, with a good vibe. Has a nice couch and some tables, some higher tables and some low ones. The service is great, they're extremely friendly and welcoming and have good attention if needed.
Got fantastic brewed black coffee (+ free refills) and gluten free, vegan, and 'normal' pastures. Got some rotating speciality drinks, had one with a house made syrup that was fantastic.

It is difficult to dislike a coffee shop that serves “Prometheus Blend” for its espresso. The relaxing vibe, house-made syrups, and precision espresso elevates Public Domain to a standout cafe’ in a city where it would be easy to get lost in the local coffee scene. The focus on coffee as an experience makes this a unique shop anyone to try!

Excellent cup of coffee here, great latte's, and the chai was also very tasty. Came here for a pick me up after over indulging at the Saturday Market, the service was good, there was ample seating for my group, and it is close to our hotel.

Great coffee shop in downtown Portland.
Service was friendly and the coffee was a well extracted brew. Variety of sweet snacks also available. Recommend if you are in the area.

After a day of travel, I'm so glad I stopped in at Public Domain on my way to my hotel. A friendly, helpful guy steered me to an amazing sun-dried tomato and cheese croissant that was deeeelectable. The barista set me up with a rich, deeply flavorful cafe mocha with surprising layers of flavor. Next level coffee! Yummy!

Excellent spot for a relaxing cup of coffee. Got a bag to take home with me, and that's good as well. They had a nice amount of pastries as well, though I didn't try any. Would definitely visit again.

Oh man, the first sip of their coffee and I knew I was in a good place.
Do you know that sadness near the end of a cup? You’re maybe 75% through it, it’s starting to get luke-warm instead of hot and you have to make a choice - drink it all now or risk it getting cold.
And it’s so good that you don’t want to finish it, because then it’s over, but it’s zenith has passed and you just need to get on and enjoy what’s left.
There is an answer; buy another one you fool.
I had an 11 night stay in Portland and I did get around a fair few coffee places, this was easily the best and the only one I wanted to go back to. I even bought some beans to take back home with me.
Food is also great, not much choice but super tasty.

The service here is absolutely great. The two guys are fun and easy to talk to. They have unlimited refills on their house drip coffee which is a really nice perk. Their chai tea was incredible. It's not an overly sweet chai as most lattes are, and it was very enjoyable. They offer vegan pastries which is great for those seeking tasty options. The food menu does contain a vegetarian burrito, which didn't take long to heat up. The ambiance is great to get some work done on a laptop as well. I only wish they were open later, but till then, I shall enjoy my early afternoons here.
