    Overall I would give this place a 3.5. I think a lot of their pull and traffic is due to their location - right by the MAX station, big open space with lots of seating, and all the apartment buildings above and around the area. And to be honest, I have a hunch that people who didn't want to wait for La Provence next door might opt for a quick coffee and breakfast here as well - that's just my speculation. I came here for the first time to meet a friend on a Saturday after the snow has melted a little bit and parked in the parking garage. They did have high chairs and a water station so that was nice. The whole place was very spacious and had many seating options. I was happy to have a corner window table so we have more space for the toddlers which was very nice. Ordering was very straight forward, they had waves of people coming in during the time we were there. Probably based on the MAX schedule. They had many pastries to choose from, including muffins (around $3 each), and some croissants, cake slices, and other pastries. I personally thought they were a bit high in price for these items, like $6-$8 each. Now the drinks, my friend got their famous Dark Chocolate Mocha which she really enjoyed, but my cold brew was a little watered down, which was disappointing. Service was average and you have to ask for the code for the bathroom (which is understandable based on location) Overall this is a cute shop and I'm sure it's some people's go-to. For me it's just OK but it's a great location to hang out and people watch lol

    Lots to pick from

    Was excited to find this location because it opened earlier than other coffee shops in the area. I just wanted a quick cup of brewed coffee so that's all I got. Loved the outdoor space and truly enjoyed the coffee, will definitely be back. Did not get food this time but the next day went to a different Ava's and the food was very good. Will probably get something the eat with my coffee next time I'm in the area

    Good place to meet up with friends, not a great place to study (at least on the weekends) because it gets crowded and loud. Sometimes it's hard to find a table. The line was really long in the morning and it took me ~20 minutes to order. The wifi was reliable which was a plus. I ordered an iced dirty chai which was really good, the chai flavor was sharp and strong. I also got a blueberry muffin which was solid as well. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, my chai was around $5. I saw other people around me order their lunch sandwiches which looked tasty! Would come back and try one.

    Look at dem windows. Can sip on my coffee all day (and night) at Ava's.

    8/10 Decent beverages and excellent friendly staff in a huge open clean space for work and study with the longest open hours that make Ava so great and reliable. The muffin I found was not too good; on par with local supermarket or airport or convenience store baked goods. Also taking points off for only having 1 person running the shop shortly after I arrived (5:30/6pm), which caused long waits for everyone waiting at the empty cash register. I want to give this place 10/10 but I couldn't even get my muffin for a long while, because the poor barista was making sandwiches for people and running baked goods to people by herself. Others stopped waiting to order at the register but I was pretty hungry. The thing is there were two great staff when I arrived but they left probably due to a shift change. I understand labor is hard to find and keep and expensive, but afternoon hours is what makes this company unique and well known and draws traffic. It's a shame the shop was short staffed just as it got busy/became afternoon. One of the bathrooms didn't have anymore soap but I didn't bother the barista because she was getting lots of orders and trying to fulfill them. I hope the owners monitor traffic better, because this turned my 10/10 to a 6/10. The barista Autumn was super helpful and I'm adding back a couple points to 8/10. She recommended the Dad's Delight, which was a much better product than the muffin. On the bright side, you'll find a crazy amount of seating and epic lighting from nearly 360° of full wall windows with a peaceful view of Orenco Station and the passersby. The internet is fast and the shop is comfortable and great as far as facilities go. I'm glad I happened to be in the neighborhood to recall this spot. It can definitely improve the operation, but regardless it's a good work and meetup spot to enjoy some beverages and perhaps a snack.

    Salted Carmel cupcake

    I'm disappointed. We haven't been here in awhile but went tonight and got two cupcakes and got home and they were hard and definitely old and not good, so we threw them away. We definitely wasted our money today and last time we came in had the same experience about 6 months ago and second time same experience so we won't be back. Friendly staff though, just old not good cupcakes.

    I came here because I got word of their cakes being worth a try. I came in and noticed the normal precautions for covid: sign on door, markings on ground, one way traffic, etc. The only thing, and it might just be my unease, is all your typically coffee shop dwellers were casually maskless even without eating or having a visually drink or food. It might of been just extreme coincidence but I doubt it. On to the cakes. I tried four different flavors just to get an idea of the spread of flavors they had. I gotta say, each was very good. They were all pretty dense, aside from the strawberry cream, so each bite was very filling and satisfying with flavor. The chocolate cake had the right sweetness and chocolate flavor to be that poster child chocolate cake. The raspberry ganache cake had a pretty strong espresso flavor which I could've done with alittle less of but overall was a stellar cake. The raspberry filling was thick enough that it wasn't overpowered by the ganache and espresso flavor. The strawberry cream was very light and the carrot cake had a lot of nuts.

    Breakfast sandwich on ciabatta

    Ava's gets 5 stars for their sandwiches. They make the best coffee shop sandwiches I've had in my opinion. The aioli and pesto are game changers. This is a great place to hangout study and work. Free wifi, lots of seating, indoor and outdoor. Many drink options on the menu to choose from. In college this was my go to place to study with friends. Lots of good memories at all the Ava locations.

    I usually very picky about hot chocolate and I can easily say this was one of the best! By the time I finished more than half of it I felt like the drink was too sweet, so I would recommend you to order a small ;)

    Very nice workers and the drinks were delicious! My favorites are the iced hot chocolate and the iced green peach tea lemonade.

    Strawberry Whipped Cream Cake
    Madelynn F.

    I came here for lunch and something sweet. I got a turkey sandwich (turkey, cheese, tomato). I got the sandwich toasted and it was okay. Unfortunately, they were out of spinach and had no lettuce. They have a little bakery. I heard their cupcakes are good, but they were sold out. So I got a piece of carrot cake and a piece of strawberry whip cream cake to go, and I was very disappointed. strawberry whip cream cake tasted like straight butter and it was dry. I could eat half of it before I threw it away. The carrot cake was VERY dry. And the icing was hard. I had 2 bites and threw that away.

    Dirty Chai - awful
    Kim B.

    Nice coffee spot! Things move pretty slowly just because it's so popular. The sandwiches especially can have a 30 min wait when it's busy, though many insist that it's worth it. Nice big interior and exterior seating when it's nice out, prices are decent, staff is friendly. My goodness is the dirty chai BAD though! Both the coffee and chai flavors are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of artificial sweetness flavor.

    Not too busy at 8:00

I have been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch place close by but so far no luck there. I am still recovering from renal failure so my mobility is severely limited. I travel mostly at the pleasure of the Veterans Transportation Service or Trimet Lyft. Today's Dr appointment finished up sooner than expected so I had some time to kill before the van returned to take me home. So I fired up my tablet and took a look on Yelp to see if there was anything of interest close by. Enter Insomnia Coffee. Lots of positive reviews. Right around the corner. So... off I go. I an a US Navy brownwater sailor. We drink coffee that tastes like coffee. No additives. None. Not even cream or (gasp) sugar. So when I told the barista [HA! The person who pours coffee into a cup] that i wanted a cup of coffee black I got this sort of deer in the headlights look. What? ...I'm sure she was thinking... no Madagascar cinnamon? no foaming goop? no stale crouton crumbs? no pumpkin pie spice? Ummmm seriously? People want their coffee to taste like pumpkin? Yikes. No Miss... just a cuppa Joe. Just like my first heart throb, Anna Mae Bullock....strong and black. And I have to say, insomnia delivered. Not a bad cup of coffee at all. Although I didn't really want to hang out there since it appeared that I had zero in common with anyone I saw there... hogging the comfortable looking chairs. So I had it in a paper cup, to go. Now I have a "thing" about drinking coffee from a large, ceramic mug.... I loathe tasting paper in my coffee and yes I can tell it's in a paper cup even blindfolded. but I digress. They did have a whole display area of decadent looking pastries and not the tiny, overpriced, bogus looking stuff you see at Starbucks. Not that i would ever go into a Starbucks even to use the rest room.
