White Rabbit Book Cafe

Small coffee shop/book store with lots of whimsical gifts, including goods crafted by local artists. Staff is friendly and barista cranks out a solid Cortado. Grab a book, sit at the bar, enjoy a beverage and stay a few. This is a cute spot for downtown OR City.

Do you like espresso, books, gifts and people? Settle in at the counter or a table in this quintesential OREGON PNW Coffe/Book shop when visiting historic Oregon City, the first Capitol of Oregon!

Lovely little corner shop, solid collection of books & great coffee. They’ve got some seating at the bar, and plenty of other gift shop like items to buy.

Love this little coffee / book & gifts shop. It has the best selection of unique handmade gifts. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The coffee and treats are great too.

A charming little shop! Books, gifts, various adorable goods. Plus a delightful assortment of beverages and snacks. They even had a variety of gluten-free treats!

The vibe is nice, but service is lacking. The three people behind the counter spent the entire time chatting with each other and making jokes — all while we waited to be served. I ordered a sjmple cortado, it took them 15 minutes to realize they had forgotten to make it, even after I asked about it twice. Then served to me in a glass cup when I asked for it to be to-go…which then prompted the barista to just dump it in a cup and shove it to me across the counter as if I was making an unbearable request. Really just wanted to enjoy my time there but it was a massive bummer. The drink was lovely, but service overshadowed everything.

My first time visiting, based on a friend’s suggestion to meet there and catch up. I liked the cute small-business feel when I walked in, and the cashier was friendly, explaining that drinks and food are ordered at the opposite end of the counter — a nice touch. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. When it came time to order, the barista seemed annoyed that I didn’t already know this shop doesn’t brew a pot of decaf or leave cream out for customers (“it takes up counter space”). Clearly, I’d made the rookie mistake of expecting hospitality with my coffee. Though he offered to make a decaf Americano, his tone and demeanor were anything but welcoming. I felt like a second-class customer just for ordering coffee a little differently. The drink was bitter and light on cream. The bagel with cream cheese was fine, but honestly, I could’ve made the same thing at home for less — and without the side of attitude. I won’t be back. There are plenty of local coffee spots where the coffee’s good and customers are treated with warmth and appreciation.

Let me start off by saying I used to go here almost everyday for years !! The coffee was always a bit pricey but the service was amazing and worth it! However, after the remodel to a "book cafe" they seemed to have forgotten their roots and only focused on books. The coffee is even more expensive and not a priority to them anymore which has since lost me and my family and friends as customers. They also used to have a grand selection of pastries that have since been discontinued :/ It feels more like an overpriced Barnes & Noble rather than your local cafe. Very disappointing transition.

Prepare yourself to spend $8-10 on a coffee. When asking the girl if it's a $.75 add on for cream or a flavor, she explained, "yes, it's the price you pay for good coffee". A 12 oz coffee with cream and SF vanilla was $8. The store has a few cute gifts but what stood out most was the witchcraft games, cards and books. Not my cup of tea/coffee. Greatly disappointed.

Most of my buy local holiday gift shopping was done at White Rabbit this year. This combination coffee house (Black Ink) and boutique has become a local O.C. favorite this year. Located at the end of Main Street close to the old paper mill, it is well worth walking a few extra blocks from the main retail center. They have books, a children's area, jewelry, and so many other random sections it is hard to describe them all, but Sasquatch and Ruth Bader Ginsberg are prominently featured. So whether you are shopping for a metrosexual lumberjack, feminist, or scientist you can find it here.

This place is the coolest ever! I always feel at home in here and each time I visit, can find unique gifts, games, books, puzzles, greeting cards, decals, PNW novelties and self care items. They support local, black owned, woman owned, lgbtq owned and many other smaller/family owned businesses, which makes each of my purchases mean even more. Their shop also has many events throughout the year which support community.

Walking into White Rabbit you just feel included and that you will easily belong. I guarantee that anyone who walks in there will find something to fall in love with. It's a book lovers paradise, from easy readers to adult books that give you a different perspective on the world and has books that allow you to feel like your doing the right thing for yourself and others.

WORST ATTITUDE EMPLOYEES AT THE WHITE RABBIT GIFTS on Main st, Oregon City. I was APPALLED at the behavior from the 2 employees and especially the manager! As I was leaving the store, I opened the door all the way and I was half way outside, I proceeded to take my mask off, and suddenly, the employee starts YELLING from behind the counter, "put the mask on"! I told her that I am leaving the store and I am already outside and that she is being very RUDE! She then starts YELLING again "GET OUT!!!" I could not believe this was happening! The manager did nothing and contributed to the verbal abuse! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

This is a wonderful local bookstore and gift shop. It is well stocked and customers can order books, too. Customer service is excellent.

What a lovely store to stumble upon in Oregon City! Yet another place in town that serves good coffee -- here, Stumptown! They also have very tasty "Bakeshop" baked goods like one finds in Portland. There are lots of books and nice gifts for sale. Puzzles and hand-knit baby goods too. Classy stuff.

Omg I was just walking around while my (very tasty) coldbrew was being prepared, and BOOM I dropped $116! SO much awesome stuff!!!! You need to give a lot of time to explore and treasure-hunt for sure! Very fun

My favorite shop in downtown Oregon City. Nicely curated selection of books and gifts. I especially enjoy their selection of notebooks & journals. They have a very cute children's section in the back. They share a space with black ink coffee which makes for a lovely afternoon.

This is the best store ever and worth driving to from Portland. The employees are super friendly. They have a great collection of unique stuff. Coffee and snacks and plenty of books. Can't beat it.

White Rabbit is my local go-to shop for grabbing greeting cards and small gifts. If you browse their inventory, you'll find a lot of local goods and unique items ranging from fun socks and totes and oven mitts to books and jewelry. You can easily find something for all ages, including baby gifts. I think all of the prices are reasonable and you are supporting a local business. I like their selection of greeting cards. They're higher quality stationary and not cheesy. On my most recent visit, I saw they carried empathy cards for serious illnesses by Emily McDowell Studio, which are great if you're not familiar with them. The shop shares a location with Blank Ink coffee, so you can enjoy a coffee while browsing.

Great selection of books! And pairs perfectly with the coffee shop and comfy atmosphere to sit and read or relax.

Fun and unique gifts for adults and children. I've made two purchases so far and will continue to do so when I want to get something special for a friend. They also have a a nice but small book selection of titles ranging from the classics to contemporary. Prices are comparable with Powell's. I love supporting a local business like this place.

The perfect place to find gifts! They also have a coffee bar in the shop which is lovely. If you are in Oregon City you must stop by the White Rabbit.

They have a great selection of locally made gifts but the prices are still reasonable. The owners have good taste in what they order for the store!

My favorite coffee house. Not only is their coffee delicious but the atmosphere is wonderful. Cozy and welcoming. I enjoy the gifts and always find myself buying a book. Wonderful place to unwind.

Super cute gift shop, especially for literature lovers! It's tucked away on the corner but the colorful windows and sign make it easy to find. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Adding to my list of places to bring friends!

Need a place for your preschool aged kid to wander while you get a cup of coffee/ take a mental break/ buy a gift for a friend? Look no further. A godsend on a rainy winter day.

This is a completely designed, well thought out shop (think Alice-in-Wonderland theme) with very tasty coffee options and incredible gifts. This is NOT your average gift shop, my friends. I went in to see this brand new location (used to be smaller elsewhere in Oregon City) and was impressed at the unique treasures to be found here. The chairs are even hand painted to suit the theme. The bar top is stunning! If you are looking for quality items that are NOT mass produced, you have found your Go To store. Whomever does the buying for this shop has fantastic taste and BONUS -- it is family owned and run. You will find lovely jewelry, book marks, baby toys/bibs/books, "Drinks well with others" aprons, literature galore, sitting spaces to sip and ponder, mugs, wine stuff, coffee stuff, buttons, toys, postcards, a section on girl power, enclosure cards and much more too numerous to list. I cannot say enough good about this little gem. Just go!

Really great selection of items - all at very reasonable prices. My favorite items are the knee-high socks and literary tote bags. The owner is so kind and helpful. I love popping in here to take a gander at all the cool stuff inside.

Awesome store for oregon city! They had a lot of great local gifts and nice quality things at pretty decent prices! Soon to expand into an independent bookstore! Owner was working when we were there and she was awesome! I told her about some other local businesses and products and she was really responsive. Also right next door to singer hill cafe which is always a bonus I'll for sure be back for gift shopping and happy the OC has this place now!

New location. Really designed beautifully. Welcoming coffee bar and neat gifts. Could be better parking but worth paying street parking. Their gifts are outstanding.
