I had read about Tandem and their biscuits, best in town! So I knew i wanted to try them, but…read moresecretly I'm not really a biscuits kinda girl! I grew up in the south, I've had all kinds of biscuits and usually they are dry or crumbly and I usually end up saying, "eh, not worth the calories" Walking up there a line out the door, but it moved quickly, I was surprised that most things were already made and they just put it on a tray for you and you pay, very lunch line, and its not served hot!?! I immediately wished I had asked them to heat it up for me, but oh well were sitting already and they were busy! All my fears melted away when I tasted those delicious carbs! First impression the jalapeño cheddar reminded me of cheese straws, like great cheesy flavor, but the consistency was so good! Crispy edges but soft inside! But then, it gets better... one bite of that strawberry butter one, yep it's delicious moved right up the list, best biscuit I've ever had! The butter seems ridiculous like so much but it's so good, I swear seems like it's whipped with cream cheese or something cause what!? I found myself wishful for more strawberry preserves, but just so good, even took half home and ate it the next day, guess what still delicious!

Arrived on a Sunday just after 11 am. There was a line out to the sidewalk, but it moved pretty…read morequickly. The service at the counter was great and very efficient. We ordered an herby lemonade, savory biscuit, sausage, egg, and cheese, biscuit, black, sesame, banana bread, a jalapeño cheddar biscuit, and the ginger cookie. Everything was delicious and the leftovers kept well in the fridge. The outdoor seating was really convenient and comfortable. Looking forward to returning.

Stuck in here after getting off of a boat that we're doing a cruise on that stops in Portland. They…read moreare directly across the street from where you disembarked the boat. I walked in. It was immediately greeted by the smell of pumpkin spice, which isn't typically my go to, but it smells good so I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and my husband ordered a double shot. It was $12 for the 2 cups of coffee plus, of course they asked for a tip. They only have the one size which I would say is probably a small. We waited a good 15 minutes for 2 cups of coffee. The coffee is very good, but I can't see me having time to wait for this if I worked in the area. The inside feel is very industrial nothing cozy at all.

I work within a stones throw of Speckled Ax, so this cafe is certainly a go to for me (despite a…read moresmall area around my office with a densely populated coffee shop/cafe per capita ratio). The staff is extremely friendly and, despite being close to where all the cruise ships port, the service is prompt! I appreciate their run of the mill hot late the most (but I'm admittedly afraid of deviating from my norm too much). The kicker for me is the bakery/breakfast sandwich options... they are amazing!! Not everything is made in house, at least I think that's my understanding, and it's different each day (breakfast sandwiches are not available on Monday/Tuesday). But everything I've ever had is 10/10, delicious!

Liked the aesthetic of the spot, with some artsy pieces throughout. My coffee too was quite tasty. The toffee flavouring was nice, but didn't overpower the espresso which I enjoyed. I'd also say pricing is good for its quality!

Amazing coffee (w/o cannabis)!! This place was recommended to us by the Insomnia Cookies folks (a…read morefew steps away from here) and they were spot on. We went for a Drip Coffee and a Latte with Oat Milk. Loved them both. Great place to relax while enjoying a beverage. They don't have anything to eat but the lady was kind to let us get some cookies from the Insomnia Cookies to enjoy with coffee. Limited seating options. The staff was nice and friendly. Definitely recommended.

Stopped here on my coffee crawl, and it was just okay. Service was fine but not overly friendly…read more The latte was mediocre and a tad bit pricey. You can also get other things besides coffee which is an interesting combo. Overall with so many coffee shops in Portland that I love I won't be back to this one.

Coming from out of state, I didn't really have any way to get the bagel open. They told me to use their plastic knives which is what I tried to do but due to the elasticity of their bagels it made my car a mess. Cream cheese is sold separately in a glass container which is kind of annoying. If you are ok with them just throwing the bagel in a bag, and if you live nearby and are able to fix it up, great! But if not, it's kinda just a mess and not worth it.

Not a big place but a half dozen or so tables and some bench seating. They were almost out of pastries that Saturday near noon, so plan accordingly. Highly recommend getting your drink for "here" so you can admire the coffee colors like I did. I'm not in Portland that often, but I'll definitely return to this spot. They have a couple of other locations also.
