"On the Northwest corner of Ladd’s Addition, this airy cafe with minimalist decor serves house-roasted beans by Chris Alspach as well as True Tea and open-face sandwiches. Brightly lit large tables allow for rich collaboration, while friendly and knowledgeable baristas keep the coffee flowing all day." - Nick Woo, Janey Wong
"One of Portland’s more popular coffee roasters, Upper Left’s cafe in Ladd’s Addition is its only remaining location — though it’s a beautifully minimalist one. After a cortado or latte with the brand’s own roasts, visitors can choose from an array of different toasts: cashew-adobo spread and pepitas, poached eggs and romesco, lox and poblano schmear, among others. For something less toast-y, the cafe’s Turkish eggs, with Greek yogurt and paprika-cumin butter, are a good option." - Nathan Williams
