Reviews
Delicious coffee offerings in a bright modern space. Just a short walk from Pioneer Square near the park blocks and the new Ritz Carlton.
We had a decaf latte and a mocha. The mocha was smooth and not overpowering, sweet, but not syrupy and thick. One of the better mochas I've had in a long time.
While the coffee here is of the highest quality, this place really sets itself apart with its ambience. Leather sofas and chairs, natural light from large street-facing windows, lush greenery, decorative tables, area rugs... The coffee bar is at a beautiful marble counter that is shared with the hotel registration desk. I didn't realize this until I overheard guests checking their luggage. Also, the receipt comes through as Bullard Tavern, though, sadly, they offer no adult coffee beverages... Sit back and relax while you sip!

Food was delicious and the basic chicken and beef empanadas were just what I wanted, only thing missing for them was the Aji sauce that you dip them into or all over them. Yucca fries, rice and beans with the sliced chicken and quesadilla were great... The smoothies were also delicious!!!!
Love this place! Favorite neighborhood spot for lunch or dinner or just to take a walk and get a snack. The “puerco” and the “tomato” empanadas are great and the churros are amazing! The space is nice but also a great takeout option.
My family and I enjoyed the fun snacks and drinks here, especially the onigiri. There was a flavor for everyone. Plus the ambiance is nice with the Japanese inspired decor and large windows.
I love this cafe! Relaxing environment that is the perfect place to read or get work done. Reasonably priced drinks and food, the pistachio tart and matcha ice cream are my favorites. All the employees are welcoming and friendly.
Mediocre experience. I would skip this one. Service was friendly but felt rushed. Also overall ambience didn’t feel authentic. There are better cafes in Portland. Not sure this place warrants such high reviews. The cafe at the Portland Japanese garden is better in my opinion.
Coffee shop is inside the hotel I had a hard time finding at 6am but there was a sign on the sidewalk. Great coffee latte no syrup! And if your hungry have a burrito excellent I had the pork outstanding fresh.
I dream about Quiero Cafe’s Cuban Sandwich 🤤 It is literal perfection. Screw it, I’m ordering one now!
I had the Big Rig Burrito today and it was a work of perfection. The eggs were scrambled just right with plenty of vegan sausage. The hash browns looked and tasted amazing. The chai was lovely with it too.
The chef and customer service were on point with great music in the background. You know you're in the right place when the Growlers are playing on arrival 😎
Service was speedy and they know when to you give you some space. I will bring my family back because their whole menu is perfection too.

Hot and fresh breakfast. Great place for meat eater and vegans alike. We had eggs Benedict and french toast. Everything was delicious.
My first stop in Portland, and it was great! I ordered their Veganuary special, a Chipotle Burrito! Delicious! 😋 Friendly staff, amazing food and a great place with great vibes.

It’s Portland, so be ready for not great service, but the cappuccino is amazing!
The mocha is also highly recommended.
Great atmosphere, seating, and decorations.
The entrance is through the hotel.

This place is an amazing little hole in the wall restaurant. The food was amazing. I'm so use to not eating all my food when we go out but here, I ate everything and even stole some food from my husband's plate it just looked and smelled so dang good. My teenager tried out some vegan sausage and loved it. (If you have a kid with sensitives, you get how big of a struggle this is.) And my daughter loved being able to build her own breakfast sandwich. There's so many options, including vegan and gluten free items. Our server Paula was amazing. They checked on everyone often and was on top of everything. And, they didn't rush us or sigh when we asked for things how we needed them, they were understanding and patient which was a huge plus. Can't wait to come back here again. I'm picky about my breakfast but here, there are so many things for me to choose from, I kinda can't be picky here. First place I've had a hard time picking what I wanted for my French toast there was several options. And absolutely LOVE that they have an option for only 1 slice of French toast.
Good Little café. Had the Migas: eggs with chorizo were very tasty, the French toast was a bit dry and did not have enough fruit. The service was very good. Our server Sarah was very attentive, polite and efficient. We had to wait about 30 min to be seated.
Love the cute outside seating. Very clean and comfortable both inside and out. Family friendly atmosphere. Nice spot to chill and enjoy a bite.
Very relaxing time after walking through the garden. Put our name on the list when we first walked into the garden, right when they opened since their reservations were full. Only waited an hour. Atmosphere, tea and food, and service is great!
Really enjoyed discovering this place. Loved the selection of smoothies and coffees (espresso drinks!) to go with the food. Had empanadas and yuca fries and enjoyed both but empanada crust was very thick which some ppl might not be used to. Would give it 5 stars but was kinda bummed that if you get sauces and sour cream can easily up your bill by $5-$10.
The staff was friendly enough. However, because the bathroom was unavailable, we couldn't sit in their space even if we would have purchased coffee. We walked from the cruise terminal to this location, looking for Starbucks "Been There" cups. They were sold out.
Again, I can't rate the food. But not being able to stay in a shop where you (would have) purchased food and/ or drink is strange to me.

First time at this location for a work trip. They’re extremely friendly and fast service. Good staff good Starbucks.
Google doesn’t said anything about make a reservation for this café so my review if for the host who doesn’t collaborated and find a table when was so many Available, she want us to wait for 30 min when was so many inside and outside tables available. Also suggest to come back another day and I am not sure if I will never back in Portland in my life but she should treat better the travelers. can’t try the tea and food so nothing to said about that. Just keep in mind call before.
I order bags of roasted coffee from Tandem almost monthly now - they're one of my absolute favorite roasters, and I'm so glad I found them. Every bag I get from them is clean, sweet, juicy, and really easy to nail the flavor notes on. Huge fan.
If you haven't tried their La Piramide, it's an awesome daily driver. Sipping it now!

Seriously, this place has the best onigiri around. The rice blend is incredible! Every time I'm about to head back to Seattle, I grab a few for the road. The last time I was there, the matcha bowl was a bit clumpy, but that isn't something that is typical at all. Highly recommend, very cute establishment with the nicest servers.
Just wanted to write a review about Tandems coffee. It is just the best. I have never actually been to their cafe in Portland, I have been buying their coffee online in 2lb bags every three months or so since 2020. I heard about them when I worked at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and bought the beans online. They roast their own beans and since my husband and I are coffee aficionados, I can honestly say it's our favorite. We have had Blue bottle, Philz, Coffee Collective from Copenhagen, you name it. These beans are some of the best! You really can't beat the Ethiopian beans for pour over from Tandem, and for the price, it's such a great deal. I never write reviews, but had to write this because we now live in San Diego and have beans shipped to us all the time. Besides espresso, this is all we drink! Thank you Tandem!
Stopped by here for a light lunch and tea while in the downtown area. They are a Japanese cafe primarily selling Japanese small bites and teas, but also sell Japanese arts, crafts, and household items to include small pieces of furniture.
The bites range from sandwiches, rice balls, tofu, soups, bagel, baguette, edamame, etc... The teas are the traditional Japanese teas, but also include the typical coffees. Service was very fast and friendly. Ordered some rice balls, small cake, and teas. Grabbed a seat and looked at the arts and crafts for sell on the wall.
Within 15 minutes everything was delivered to the table. In typical Japanese fashion, the presentation was perfect. The rice balls, cake, and teas looked exactly like the pictures in the menu. Food was very authentic and tasted great. Highly recommend this place if you want to come for some Japanese small bites and teas.

Loved the cleanliness of the restaurant and the delicious choices of empanadas available. We ordered a few of the baked type for dine-in and ordered some for take-out. Wonderful food!
Blocked of restrooms with tables. No seating, no restroom but more than happy to take your money. Go elsewhere.
A really great spot to try out the Japanese sets. Their green tea is excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful but can be overwhelmed when they’re busy.
We stopped at smalls for Cortado and Latte - it was very smooth and rich. We ended up ordering the carrot cake and it was one of the finest. Very balanced and authentic food and drinks. The cafe also has some local art and tiny items to shop (the candles were really nice!)
It’s a must try if you’re in the area

stopped by Juniors for a breakfast while in Portland. Tried their vegan option the superhero. It was tasty. The service was stellar from the greeting until the end, kudos!
Really lovely cafe with friendly vibes. I have one vegetarian friend and myself and my other friend are keto / low carb. We split some oysters and each had a fabulous caesar salad. All of us enjoyed our food and the atmosphere.
I went in to get 2 espresso shots to go. Employees were nice and the service was fast enough considering how busy the place was. The ambience of the place is also great. The espressos, however were very unpleasant. I would even say bad. Not sure if they were way too extracted, not made with the right temperature water, or there was a buildup on the machine itself... or the combination of these. I noticed that guests seemed to be enjoying their more elaborate drinks, but as far as plain espresso shots go, this was an awful experience. It's a bummer because based on the reviews I would have considered getting breakfast here.
If there is one reason I go to Starbucks stores again is the person behind the counter with the green hair. Providing excellent service with understanding the customer needs while communicating in an efficient manner is the hallmark of a good business. We needed just the bathroom but ended up buying more because of the service that PARTICULAR employee provided. It just made it the best Starbucks I have been in at least the past five years.
I have spent a ridiculous number of hours in this cafe over the last year and a half. Navis is one of the few "cafe vibe" type places in the area that is open past 3pm. I am in school every day from early morning through the afternoon and haven't found any other place where I can come after school and have enough time to get anything done before closing. Navis has gotten me through the toughest finals weeks of dental school. The vibe is perfect, nice music playing, not too loud, ambient sound from the cafe, nice view through the wall of windows, there is one table in the corner with an outlet that I definitely monopolize. There is even an outdoor seating area that's great during the summer. The draft latte is delicious and keeps me going. When I get hungry it has the perfect food for a snack or a meal with options for me (vegan) and my friends with no dietary restrictions. Prices are very fair The service is great. No one has ever been upset with me for ordering just a coffee or two and staying posted up at a table with my laptop out for the entire day. Highly recommend.
Five out of five for this place! Wonderful service and little place. The maple latte was absolutely delicious!
This was my first time here after wishing of going for almost 10 years! The three of us were able to snag a booth with no wait. We were quickly served our drinks and food shortly thereafter.
We had a marvelous breakfast, no pictures were taken before we started in. Then in-a-blink our plates were clean. We got the JJ Benedict, The Squatch, and the special which was a bagel sandwich. All of our sides were great. The fresh fruit bowl was so light and perfect for a 100°+ day.
Worth the wait! Looking forward to coming back soon.

Tandem is a great roaster. I had an El Salvador single origin pour over. Well priced. Well brewed. Exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff. Super busy but you can see why. Took home a bag of the beans. Family had a skim latte that got great reviews. Baked goods were solid. Scone excellent. Son reports cookie a touch too chocolatey. But you are there for the coffee and that is perfect.
Delightful little cafe with good coffee on tap, and good espresso as well. The food choices that me and my friend got were absolutely spectacular! The French toast is one of the best you'll find around, and the pesto breakfast sandwich was to die for! Wonderful customer service and a light-hearted environment. Since the place is small in nature, you can expect a wait unless you just hit the timing right. I would argue it is worth the wait if you want that amazing brunch or breakfast fix!
Onigiri -salmon mayo and tea -hojicha were really delicious. The Chikara cake is not my style, like 90% nuts 10% marinated fruit sort of m like a solid fruitcake, but not bad by any means. Super cute antiques and handmade goods. Excellent ambiance, the place was super clean and the classical music was relaxing. Staff was fairly quick
This place knows how to do breakfast! Erin has been outstanding. She has a great personality and very good at giving recommendations.
I don’t eat eggs so I got the Sausage egg and cheese sandwich with out the egg.
Absolutely out of this world.
The smoked paprika mayo and the Vermont cheese, I can’t even put it into words.

Stopped in for an espresso yesterday. Half way through I started hearing Ave Maria and I’m pretty sure rainbows shot out of my eyes. I think I flew home. Awesome coffee 11/10 would drink again.
Now on August 5th, it’s pouring outside and they kicked everyone out because they have “grab and go policy”?! People with little kids had to leave and walk under the rain because they wouldn’t let people stay until the rain stops. I’m talking about people who bought coffee etc.. who paid for Starbucks products got kicked out. They warned everyone 3 times to leave and not stay in the cafe despite the thunderstorm outside. And the manager threatened to call the cops on this older guy who was there with his family because he refused to leave until the rain stops which btw noted on the water app that would stop in 7min and it did. HORRIBLE TERRIBLE BAD management. People put the situation in their social media. I will also email Starbucks corporate.
Stop In for a coffee asked for milk instead stead of H&H.
The clerk not so politely told me we don't offer milk!
I don't think I have ever been to a coffee shop that did not offer milk as a substitute not did they even have Raw Sugar available!
Sorry but I is a small offering that should be offered especially when asked!

Renae and her staff at Navis Cafe provided us with a perfectly wonderful "bridal breakfast" which our daughter's bridal party enjoyed as they got ready for her wedding in June. We had an early start that morning and Renae had everything ready for pick up when the cafe opened at 7 am. Breakfast sandwiches, fruit salad, chocolate chip cookies and coffee....all fresh and delicious. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We stopped in at the Cafe several other times during the weekend and had the same great experience....delicious food, friendly service and an inviting atmosphere. Thank you, Renae. I will definitely stop in whenever I'm in Portland. I highly recommend Navis Cafe!
It's a great place on the Westend of Portland to get a really good eat . I like the number 2 but all their sandwiches are very good and very quickly made with tasty combinations of flavor . That's why I go there . The food is perfect!
Bought a coffee and a sandwich. Used the bathroom to take a number two. After about 4-5 minutes. Staff rapped on the door, stating, "You've been in there for a long time, finish up, or were coming in." Guess a man can't even take a poop in peace? Bad business practice to treat every customer as if they were a vagrant.
I went to the Artemisia Cafe for brunch. It was around the corner from my hotel and I'm glad I stopped there to eat.
The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. With a decorative tin ceiling and old exposed pipes, they did a great job decorating this cafe.
They had a bar for adult drinks and various caffeinated drinks.
I ordered the "East End Omelet" (which came with home fries and toast), coffee and orange juice. This dish was delicious! Along with the eggs, there was spinach (my girlfriend will be happy to hear I had spinach today), apple smoked bacon, with melted, creamy goat cheese (YUM!). The goat cheese really pulled it all together. The coffee was full bodied and strong, the way I like it.
The service was pleasant and fast - the drinks came out almost immediately and the food within 5 minutes.
I recommend Artemisia Cafe, if you're in the area.

My fiancé and I had breakfast here on a weekend trip to Portland. The wait for a table was quick for a summer Sunday morning. Everything on the menu looked amazing but I went with the pesto breakfast sandwich and it was the perfect choice! I also really enjoyed the iced coffee. The server and host were both so friendly. I would definitely come here again next time I’m in Portland!
I work next to this Starbucks, so I stop in fairly regularly. I know several of the employees and have never had a bad experience with any of them. They are a strong and unified team of lovely humans that create a great atmosphere for everyone. The manager specifically, (Hi Ronnie!!) is a phenomenal person and incredible at her job. The drinks are always amazing and the food is out on time every time. Thanks for a fabulous space to grab my morning coffee and afternoon tea.
This is not the place to go when you are hungry. Plain rice in a water without any flavors. Tea was not very intense and they give you 2 free refills. If you like warm water then get the refills, but for us it felt diluated after the first one.
Maybe this place is just not for us..

Tandem serves an excellent espresso, lots of complex flavors. The service was good, the store was clean and quaint. Parking was easy and plentiful. I'll be back whenever I'm back in Portland.
Not bad, pretty respectable bagel breakfast sandwich. Quick service. If you're at one of the hotels in the immediate area it's really convenient to swing around the corner here.
Only reason I give it a 4 is I felt like it's missing a bit of character or vibe, but maybe that's just me.

Great breakfast. Pancakes were perfectly sweet and tender. Do I dare say some of the best bacon I’ve ever had? French toast was also delicious. It was everything you could have wanted in a breakfast. We sat outside. It was comfortable, and we were attended to very well. The STRAWBERRY LEMONADE was something I will never forget. I wanted 5 of them. A must-try
Love the vibe! Great Bloody Mary and Egg Sandwich were both delicious!
Owner was super friendly too!

Just want to add for other people, that menu showing on Google maps is incorrect, the menu here as of 2023 is just tea and pastries, with option for miso soup and rice. There is very little option for gluten and dairy free, so be mindful when you must consider these. The staff and atmosphere is beautiful and pleasant nonetheless. Don't let this discourage you, just adding this information for others so their expectations are consistent. ♡
Adorable, fun, aesthetically pleasing little spot! Also, one of the best cappuccinos I had in a long time. I wanted to buy everything! It makes you happy just being in there. However, we weren’t overly impressed with the food- the grilled cheese was bitter and the servicing of burrata was on the small side. The ambience made up for it though and I will be returning. Fabulous selection of gifts, food and wine - an absolute delight. Gluten free bread options available for $2.
Super difficult to rate as they sold me a frozen Frappuccino (after a 15 minute wait) but had no straws - which nobody mentioned when they were taking my money.
Couldn’t actually consume what I bought as they filled the lid up with whipped cream so couldn’t even take that off to sip it.
Dumb people and pointless waste of money.

Attention all other Starbucks nationwide that don’t offer this:
The Old Port location in Portland, ME gives out FREE bags of old coffee grounds to use in your garden as compost. Already bagged up, just walk up and grab one. If I thought I’d have room, I would have crammed a bag or 2 of compost in my luggage before heading back home.
Every Starbucks should offer this!

Such a great breakfast spot - perfect to get a homemade meal. We are staying at the hyatt -breakfast includes fake scrambled eggs. Was happy to find this place within walking distance of hotel. I got the heuvos Ranchos..Great choice!
I kept getting recommendations to come check this place out, so I finally had to give it a shot. I really like the bagels, and the breakfast sandwiches are definitely worth it. I ordered ahead, but they seemed like they were getting orders done pretty fast. The breakfast sandwiches are a great value for the price and taste great. Definitely recommend checking out Ohno Cafe!
We got coffee and stayed inside to drink it as it was pouring rain out. The tables were all dirty and 1/2 the tables and the window seats had no chairs/stools. While we were there another customer asked me if there was a restroom… I told her to ask the guy at the counter and usually you need a lock code, which the employee gave her. Before I left, I got up to use the restroom and asked the same employee if he could tell me the bathroom code (he was passing right by me). His reply was “I can’t help you” with a snotty smirk on his face and he continued out of the shop. When I went up to ask the girl behind the counter for the code, I told her I didn’t appreciate how rude the departing employee had been (he knew the code and couldn’t be bothered to tell me on his way out). Her reply was “he’s punched out so he’s not legally obligated to help me or be polite”. OMG…. Like common courtesy would have killed him or her??? I’m probably 30+ years older than they are; their behavior was absolutely unprofessional, disrespectful and just plain lazy. I used to run a bakery and cafe and would never have spoken to any customer like that, on or off the clock. If I did, I would have been fired on the spot. What ever happened to customer service? I usually find Starbucks employees to be friendly but these employees were just ignorant and indignant. Their management needs to do some serious customer relations training.
Ordered during an off-time (mid afternoon) but the food was hot, amazingly delicious! The cubano sandwich was carmelized in all the right places, the empenadas tipicas were crunchy on outside and soft and cheesy in middle. These were my first churros and i can’t imagine them being more delicious! The most affordable takeout in west end area i found in a quick google search. Eat here and you’ll be happy!
The staff here are so kind and great. The menu looked great to me - I could have ordered almost anything and been happy - but my husband wasn't quite as excited by it. This all changed once he tried the food and Arnold Palmer! It was the best Almond Palmer either of us has ever had, and he had the pesto breakfast sandwich, which was excellent. I ordered the Eastside Omelet (may have the name slightly wrong) which was perfect. We also tried the kielbasa breakfast wrap. I enjoyed it but think I prefer kielbasa on its own. My husband loved it though.
The absolute best killer caesar salad + grilled cheese combo i’ve had in years. Unbelievably good flavor and presentation. Friendly staff, a cute store in the back, and a very fun bathroom. Will definitely be coming back.
Wonderful place and I couldn’t recommend it enough. New favorite Portland spot.

Went here on my trip to Portland ! Here are my notes -
Amazing and really good coffee, just like the name says☕️
Absolutely wonderful decor and aesthetic! ✨
The staff and friendly and nice ❤️
Plenty of space to sit and do your work 💻
Ps- They play music and it’s a tad bit loud. Wouldn’t recommend sitting here if you have meetings to attend 🎶
They do have some food items in the menu and absolutely don’t mind if you bring your own food along! 🥗
Also, The restrooms are very well kept too 💦

The food was real good, and the workers done a grate job with everyones orders consitering they were over packed. The only thing I didn't like is how one worker was dressed. Her shirt was way too small and her stomach and waist were hanging out. Besides that everything was fine.
No complaints, great facilities, foood and drinks! What you’d expect from a Starbucks.
This Starbucks is DYNAMITE! The staff was so ridiculously friendly. This was much needed to compensate for the extreme rudeness of the Portland townsfolk.
The place was clean and the coffee came out fast and furious. This Starbucks is on point!!!
And did I mention the incredibly FRIENDLY staff? They need a raise!

Came for brunch, super friendly and bubbly staff, the breakfest burrito was massive, really filling. Be sure to grab a delicious baked good on your way out!
The espresso is very good, fruity and very zesty, almost too acidic but it just about gets away with it. I would order it again for sure. The drip coffee is not as exciting by comparison. Also all drinks are served in ceramic mugs if you are staying in, no endless plastic to worry about. A very nice neighborhood spot.
The only thing that compares to their finely roasted and prepared coffee is their Michelin star level service. Best coffee and best service in Portland.
Tasty sandwiches and salads. Great selection of wine and local brews (on tap). The service was friendly and surprisingly fast considering how busy they were with locals as well as passengers waiting to board a small cruise ship departing that evening.
What a lovely experience! We got the tea sets and the matcha and hojicha brownies (yum). We didn’t think to make a reservation but it only ended up being a 30 min wait on a Saturday afternoon. I can see people thinking it’s expensive for tea and a snack, but the atmosphere is unique and makes up for that in my opinion.
This starbucks is in the heart of Portland right in the heart of the homeless population that the state of Maine turns a blind eye to each day
But this starbucks has angles working there . KindHeart people who help those who need it . And care for those others do not .
For that reason this Starbucks is above all the best .
Some of the kindness people work in there
So please know if you go there be Kind to The workers and those in there.
The workers bust their backs to Help everyone .
And Care for everyone
So please be kind as well.

Got my usual iced caramel macchiato with oat milk and extra caramel. Made perfectly, and staff were very friendly. It’s in an unusually shaped building, so no drive thru, but inside experience was very pleasant.
Amazing service. Great sandwich with some great views if you sit outside or near the window inside!
The sourdough bread is well toasted and really awesome for The Bow sandwich. my wife said that her clam chowder was delicious and you could actually SEE the clams with every spoonful!

This cafe is wonderful! It’s become our coffee stop on our weekly Eastern Prom loop. The coffee is delicious and the treats are lovely. The staff is accommodating and always gives us a little bag to carry our baked goods back to the homestead. Always look forward to visiting!
I volunteer at the garden so my review will be biased. That said, this is a great place to have quiet conversations while admiring the greenery outside. They mainly have variety of Japanese teas. I like all of the tea they have. All of the teas are serves with Japanese sweets. I like all of them, since choices are not that large, you may want to try all of them.
Was stuck without a breakfast option because another nearby establishment couldn’t keep enough in stock which seems EMBARRASSING for a breakfast-first business, so then, in my furry, I stumbled upon this place and let me tell you they are GOOD at what they do!! Breakfast sandwiches whipped up in an instant! Oh you want coffee too? guess what? They’ve got it in ABUNDANCE!! 5 stars is too few, can’t wait to move to the neighborhood just to have the prosciutto bagel more often! Thank you!
Perfect start for the day, Navis breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with cold brew coffee latte on tap.
This is one of my go-to spots when looking for a quick coffee meeting downtown. I like the layout and ambiance of the place. The service is always friendly and inviting. I enjoyed my Hojicha Vanilla Tea latte with Cinnamon drink. It was enjoyable warm and was not too sweet.
This place is a very sweet shop with coffee and sandwiches. I had the build your own sandwich once which was great, I like how they really grill your bread. They have vegan/ vegetarian sausage patties. I also another time had a tempeh sandwich with hot honey and coleslaw that was particularly inspired! Came with a very generous side of potato salad
First off, the barista was doing a solid job based on the rush we were a part of. I knocked off a star because there should have been more than one employee to limit the load on her since she had to take orders and make the drinks. All things considered I think the coffee I received was on par with the timing and line present. It wasn’t fantastic, but it was definitely still drinkable. The location is in a hotel, so that’s something to be aware of when you go to this location because there is no marque sign indicating the shop is located where it is, only an A-frame sign outside the front doors.
We ordered the Cherry Chili Cacao Latte and the Smoked Fig latte and they were both delicious!🤤 🤤 This location is also inside a gorgeous hotel lobby. It’s a great spot to curl up with a book or people watch.
Very nice experience, very authentic tea at Umami Café.
We thought we made the reservation, but turned out we only made the reservation for the garden… but luckily there was a outdoor seat available when we went, the staff welcomed us and was nice that we were able to get in.
It was a bit cold but nice to sit outdoor and enjoy the view with hot teas.
All of the food/tea we ordered were really good and if you order tea, you get three rounds of it. (the staff will add water for you)
I love their matcha, made me think of the time i visited Japan.

Just got a smoothie, was a cute place. No line, staff were nice and friendly, bit pricy but it is portland (not outside the normal range for a smoothie). Smoothie was pretty filling ('twas my breakfast), could use a bit more strawberry but that is just personal preference. All in all, not a bad place. Will have to go back and try actual food to give a better review, but for just for the Café portion, it's a good place to go if your in the area.
Nice cafe with Japanese accent. Their menu is mostly Japanese food. They have many different types of tea both Japanese and English. Coffee is nice. It appears this is the only place in Portland who serves matcha and hojicha soft cones. This is a must try for me. They are so yummy. They also have onigiri, this was great. They also host pottery artist, and carries Japanese antiques. It is a fun place to be.
Got a Horchata Latte at the Good Coffee location inside the historic and luxurious Woodlark Hotel in downtown Portland. Been wanting to try Good Cofee because I’ve heard how good it is. They’re supposed to be one of the best new coffee roasters in Portland. It did not disappoint.
Stopped in for breakfast on the go, and browsed the shop while I waited. It seems like a great place to get a nice lil'gift for someone. The food is delicious, and while the prices are a little steep, it's in line with other nice Portland eateries. I think it's worth the treat, and I hope to come back for lunch, cocktails, and more.
Perfect cafe for delicious coffee and snacks/pastries. Newly expanded large seating area both indoor and outdoors. Great variety of coffees for pour over as well as an awesome selection of beans to take home. I always make time to stop by this spot when in town. Can get busy early morning and on weekends but worth the wait!
Thanx so much to the very nice guy that helped me yesterday. I was sooo thirsty when I came in. I honestly just wanted to buy a water and that happened to be the closest place.
Unfortunately, the only bottle of water they had left was in a basket and warm.
He very nicely offered me a free ice water (that I offered to pay for.) Since he was so nice I asked him to make me something of his own concoction. I'm not well versed in Starbucks. He was happy to use his creativeness. Whatever it was he made me was delicious. An iced yummy 😃! The whole staff was very friendly and fun to talk with. Thanx everyone! Btw loved the joke of the day... 😂

The food was excellent! Everything tasted fresh and amazing. I had an oat milk latte with cardamom and it was so yummy. There’s a little bit of a wait but it’s so worth it. Our waitress was friendly and nice. The veggie hash w the French peasant bread was so good. Definitely would come back if I visit Portland again. 10/10
I ordered some breakfast from Navis cafe twice. (Uber eat) today was second time i received the wrong sandwich. Veggie in sandwich were not really fresh.
But ok for me, I took they off.
3rd Time Uber eat order
2nd time online orders.

This our 4th time dining in at restaurant. We really disappointed on our breakfast
I ordered the Bow with wraps, the bacon was really cold, like the bacon left over from Friday:(
my boyfriend ordered the Navis Cobb. The salad was missing bacon and we found a bond hair in the salad :( I told the waitress about this situations. They offered us refund but we refused. Because we will return to our he restaurant sometime soon.

One of my favorite places to get some matcha and hojicha soft serve. The flavors and texture of the soft serve is perfect. It's a nice coffee shop that has light snacks to enjoy. The people here are friendly and quick to get the order out. The interior has a nice calm feel to it.
- Incredibly slow service (granted, at a busy time of Saturday ~11am, but it took almost an hour for two sandwiches)
- Nice but unapologetic staff (acknowledging the wait would go a long way)
- Small bagels
- Disappointing bagels (pretty sure they’re not made in house and you have only the option of plain—for someone who gets bagel sandwiches primarily for the bagel, this is already a dealbreaker)
- Bagels toasted by default (not my preference)
- Disappointing sandwich (only one egg by default, and gooey/greasy before even biting into it—I got a #1)
Clearly lots of folks like this place, so I might be an outlier, and you might love it. I did appreciate creative, unique flavor combos, but that’s not enough to make me come back after a disappointing first visit.

I got the crab cake sandwich (as a wrap) good flavor and not to heavy. Side salad was also tasty. Online ordering was simple and the food was ready in just a few short minutes. Would recommend.
Great breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Best to order ahead on the phone. Great sandwiches for the slopes or trails! Be sure to pack your tinfoil wrapped sandwich in a plastic bag because these delightful beasts are juicy.
