Located next door to Aesop. They even have Aesop rinse free handwash aka hand sanitizer. Parking on the street is available via Parking Kitty app. I love the little pig door stopper. The merch is charming. I got a $35 Barista tshirt no sales tax. The counter person folded it nicely. Tote bags are $40. There's also tumblers available. I would have bought one if I didn't have a travel bottle already. The ambiance inside was nice to enjoy a coffee or donut. I got the 8oz Horchata Mocha. The Horchata was overpowering at first but it grew on me. It's the perfect travel size drink. They have an assortment of coffee beans for purchase or donuts. The menu is simple so you don't feel overwhelmed by options. read more

It was boxing day so I need a quick caffeinated drink, so I popped into this shop for my first time. Early in the morning the coffee shop was pretty busy, especially as stores were not opened yet. As it was my first time in the shop it took me awhile to process the menu- this is definitely a coffee focus place (not for tea drinkers). And the focus seems to be on more coffee forward drinks, rather than jacked up with sugar and other stuff like Starbucks. Coffee prices are inline with other coffee stores in the area. As for seating, the shop provides tables seating. Plus there is a nice coffee bar at the windows, which is perfect for people watching. Plus there is a small coffee bar that faces the barista if you want to watch drinks being made. Parking can be tough in this area as the main shopping street....parking is on the street and off the main street. read more

You know it's a good coffee when you don't need sweetener! I got my standard cappuccino which ended up tasting divine. The quality was top notch, enough to where I felt confident purchasing beans for my espresso maker back home! The beans (locally sourced) were recently roasted too - an absolute must. Service was quick. Ambiance was laid back. It was a quick stop & go as I was visiting Portland for the first time. Out of the many places that were visited during my explorations, Barista lived rent free in my mind as one of the best stops. Highly recommend. read more

Unfortunately because of proximity I've been back here more than I want to, but I'll update my review to add a star because my other experiences have been better. I still feel like the staff is way too pretentious and not very warm. Love the outside patio though, and cookies I had were good. Peppermint mocha was also good. I love their products but just want to be greeted with warmth! read more

The horchata mocha was very good. There wasn't an overbearing cinnamon taste. The 8oz is the perfect size if you're aren't trying to drink too much but just enough. The drink was sweet but not too sweet. read more

In a Portland sea of amazing coffee shops, this one still exudes superiority to me... at least on the West side of town. It's a modern space with mirrors, natural wood touches and just the right size to be cozy without feeling cramped. Staff is usually nice but too busy to be bubbly... maybe they should drink more of their own product? the bathrooms do not require a code or key, which is a huge perk (pun intended) for this part of town. Parking is challenging, but just a small hurdle in having access to a marvelous cup of coffee. I love that they offer three different choices anytime you order a drink that includes espresso. I stick with the 8 oz Americano and ask for the baristas choice based on whatever they feel is pulling best (somehow it seems to personify the experience of the shop's endearing name). Check it out! A great stop for when you are running errands and need a delightful respite from the hustle of NW... not to mention a bold, invigorating cup of amazing coffee. read more

Popped in randomly for coffee and was impressed by the taste. I wasn't expecting a simple vanilla latte to stand out. I've been having trouble with an aeropress and made a comment to the staff. I decided to purchase a bag of Puff coffee beans (which they were currently using) and they grinded it to use in my aeropress. I'm writing this review because I just brewed it at home and I am once again blown away by the taste. This whole time I thought I wasn't getting good coffee because of user error, but it was actually the quality of coffee. I'm happy to have this experience at home now. Thank you! read more

I thank Barista for teaching me, many years ago, how much flavor coffee can have when done right. It was truly a life-changing experience. (There's no going back now!) And I've been their biggest fan ever since then. I was reminded of all that this morning as I enjoyed a quiet Americano while gazing out the window onto 23rd avenue, early enough for the parking to be free and easy. Every Barista location is terrific but I especially enjoy the NW 23rd Ave location. It's spacious and classy. And the window bar is a perfect spot to enjoy a perfect cup of coffee. Service is always great, and Masterful. Kudos to all the folks, especially the founder, for preserving one of the simple joys of life. read more

Nice, quaint coffee shop! My vanilla latte was warm and frothy on a chilly fall day, and I love the option of ceramic mugs fordining in..feels cozy! The staff were super cool, and they even helped me store my suitcase away so that I could dine more comfortably.

Barista - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Quick Summary: - Coffee is sour - Classy interior, really nice to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee - Plenty of pastries to choose from The exciting thing about this cafe were that the interior was fancy and just made me feel comfortable to be in. The line stretched with a display case to see the different pastries. The one shown in the picture, I don't recall the name anymore, but what I do remember was that the pastry was themed after a sea snail from the large swirl. Unfortunately, the coffee was sour for my taste, so if I were to visit again I'll order it with more milk or opt for a cafe au lait. read more

Love the vibe as we walked in. It was cold and I needed something warm to drink. We had been shopping up and down the nob hill neighborhood finding many perfect gifts for friends and family and ourselves but I needed to get warmed up. I had not had a latte for a long time but I thought today was the day. I ordered it and was very good. I love the design they put on it and back in California they put everything in a to go cup. I really like the real cups and this one was served that way. I really enjoyed the whole coffee and my friend loved the chamomile tea. Recommended read more

My wife and I had a very nice cup of coffee and snack-here our eye exam. The coffee of the day was so full of flavor, and I wish I would have inquired what it was. Also had a huge croissant which was super fresh and filling. The Barista is a cute alfresco coffee house in a very funky part of Portland. Worth a visit. Great place to people watch! read more

Okay, my sister and I really wanted to hate the coffee because the barista was insanely rude but the coffee was fire. It had the perfect brown color (amazing milk to espresso ratio) and was sweetened just right. I have to give credit where it's due because I'm super picky about my coffee, and nowhere in Portland has wowed me like this place did. So yeah, the service was meh, but the drink?

Ambiance and decor are on point at this nook, that serves delicious coffee. From the drip to my horchata mocha, legit from start to finish! The decor was that of a speak easy to me, old-timey and pairs well with the yummy drinks. People were there working and studying, we stumbled upon and glad we did. Great pricing and 100% awesome! read more

Very cute spot! I had never been before, and thought it would be a fun stop to make while I was meeting up with a friend! The space has lots of seating (though it fills up quick during mid morning time!) the service was quick, and the natural light that comes in their windows is quite nice! I got a simple Americano, and didn't try any food (which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5... For now!) if and when I visit again, I'll have to grab something to munch on and report back on my thoughts! Overall a very cute spot to stop in for a cup of coffee, or a beer if you're feeling spicy! read more

I'll start by saying this: the coffee is excellent and the location is fantastic. It easily deserves five stars for that alone. But there's one recurring issue that's becoming really frustrating. EVERY TIME I've come in, there are multiple single seats open, yet someone is sitting alone at one of the large booth tables that could seat six to eight people. I come in with my family and little kids, we grab our coffee, look around, and the only seating that works for us is taken by one person on a laptop. So we end up having to leave. I totally understand people wanting to work or relax at a table, but when there are plenty of single seats available, it would be incredibly helpful if those larger tables were left for larger groups. A simple sign might solve this:"If you're sitting alone and single seats are available, please consider leaving larger tables open for bigger parties." Just a small act of consideration would make a big difference for families trying to enjoy your space. read more

Some of my favorite coffee in Portland. Consistently very good tasting, but the staff is consistently not the friendliest (not that they need to be). Always lots of people in there chatting and some workers. I fine tables too small for sustained work but to each their own! read more

Every time I come by this place, the outdoor seating is completely full. Understandably so, because the chic downtown cafe vibes go perfectly with some streetside people watching! What I liked most about Barista was the way their menu is formatted. It gives a clear visual breakdown of the traditional menu items, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it's called. I also really liked the cute dine-in dishware. Inside seating is decent. There are a couple large booths, a line of small tables with benches and chairs, as well as bar style seating by the window. There's the patio outside as well, but as I mentioned; it's always full. The decor is minimalistic and classy. It would be a great place for a coffee date. The barista was very friendly and seemed to be really enjoying their job. They were very upbeat, singing and keeping busy when there was no one ordering (which was rare). Definitely a pleasant accent to the whole vibe. While here I got a macchiato, which was cute and tasty! Worth noting that they offer several different kinds of espresso, and a couple different dairy free options. This is a very coffee focused cafe, and I would go as far as to say one of the most legit/authentic/well-made coffee based experiences I've ever had. No fake, over sweetened Starbucks garbage here! The only point of feedback I have is that the food selection seems incredibly limited. I saw two very large pieces of coffee-cake on display and that was it. I would encourage this business to either stock more, or expand their food offerings. read more

1. Ambience is a solid 4+ 2. Cappuccino was OK. I miss my European cappuccinos. I think the coffee here might be a little bit more acidic or strong. I'm a huge fan of Italian and French cappuccinos 3. Service : Lovely attitude by the staff. 4. Bad: High up charge for non dairy milk so punishes lactose intolerant or vegan folks. It's one dollar for oat milk and $.75 for almond milk. It's way more than the cost for that which is often a coffee place excuse. Come on Portland lead the way and being progressive and STOP this up charge Location on 23rd in Nob hill has outdoor tables too on the sidewalk pleasant read more

Definitely worth a stop, Barista embodies Portland all the way around. The coffee shop is welcoming, has authentic decor (love the wooden accents), and the large curved booths seat your friends comfortably! There is also plenty of patio seating and if you are shopping. plentiful merchandise to choose from! Go order at the coffee bar - it's long, carved and so inviting you just want to hang out there all day long! Now let's talk coffee. What's not to love? My latte with soy included coffee art, was hot and every sip enjoyable not to mention, their logo is one of my favorites around the globe. Stop by, bring a friend and most of all, enjoy your cup of Joe at Barista! read more

Good selection of coffee or there is chai and matcha latte available. They have pastries but I never got one - doesn't look all that appealing to me. Good service. I enjoy the ambience and often come here to relax for a bit. There are large booths for bigger parties. There are also booth seats designed for 1-2 people. There are several bar seats as well. read more

Popped in here because I had brunch nearby and needed caffeine. Since I'm a "shop Local" gal and I didn't want to patronize the green mermaid. However at least the mermaid gives you decent coffee. This coffee tastes old and burnt and left a gross flavor in my mouth. I got the Hazelnut Latte with oatmilk. As far as service it was fine. Nothing special. The shop itself is super cute and cozy. Maybe you need to get there early so the coffee tastes better?? Because no thank you for me. read more

Honestly my whole experience with Barista was lackluster and full of dismay. The barista who greeted me seemed as if I was bothering them when I approached the counter even know they weren't doing anything. I placed my order and ran to the restroom where I then heard them screaming my order again and again and again aggressively. When I came out to grab my cortado only a minute later the barista rudely said "I've been calling your order" which is hardly needed. The Cortado itself was not dialed in well and tasted very roasty and the cortado had over an inch of foam on top. And no a cortado sitting in the counter for a minute does not accumulate that much froth. I'm shook that a barista poured a cortado with such terribly steamed milk and was like -looks good enough to send out to me read more

Batista is the go to place in Portland. They have many locations and are alway putting out quality. I am always up for what they're offering, normally we go real true to form and get a latte or a cappuccino with no flavors, the whole milk and sweet espresso is almost like its sugared up. Now I'm not a drive thru coffee type, ill drink cheap stuff at home vs that. Here though if you want a flavor add in, theyre all made in house. You get quality. The hazelnut is off the charts! The pumpkin miso was a bit out there for me to try, but def if you want some flavor, try the H-Nutz read more
