They always stuff my drink with crushed ice, not sure. At times, it can be unprofessional as staff is on their phones right at the register. Parking is inside a garage, shared with gym members and others. I never have trouble finding one, so that's a plus

I have made my way through all of the flavors of lattes and they are wonderful. Vanilla and caramel are my favorites, although the cardamom is also up there. I have also tried a cappuccino, which was fantastic as well. The pastries and the cookies pair nicely with the coffee and I especially recommend the Mixed Berry Scone or the Berry and Ginger Danish. This is a great place to stop in for a caffeine boost or to sit and relax for a while. Great shop, great staff and fantastic coffee!

I live in the neighborhood and stop in fairly regularly and I love it. Their breakfast sandwiches are excellent, and I particularly like the Bacon Breakfast Sandwich with the jalapeños, although I opt out on the kale. The coffee is also great with a full array of espresso drinks. I tend to get lattes and theirs are yummy. They also pair well with the baked goods that they offer. I like the cookies and the scones, but everything is decent. They also have burnt Basque cheesecake which is divine and definitely worth trying if you've never had it. The staff is very friendly and always happy to help. A great place to meet up with friends or to bring your laptop and work for a bit. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.

Sometimes they drop a DJ event. They were able to bring famous DJ François K for an evening of local DJs from 5PM to 9, then François K to 2. François K began his DJ journey in 1976 in NYC. Essentially it was a house party for well under 100 people with an international DJ at a very reasonable ticket price. Only in Portland. Only at Sonder. The door was polite and the crowd was polite. There were no unwelcome club advances. There was no overselling nonsense and readmission lines. There is an area outside to cool off and converse when the dance floor is steamy. Water in cups that are washed and reused, not landfilled. I had a nice conversation with the owner and have some suggestions for future bookings. It was fun to see a little Melbourne Shuffle break out! One of our previous CMs did some DJing and would have loved this event and the venue. It is also an update of the fern bar, with healthy plants doing well with the South facing window. There is some outdoor seating screened by a wood structure from the parking lot.

What I expected to be another simple evening of trading card negotiations ended up being pretty…read moredisappointing. I've supported this shop for a long time, and they've supported my passion for the Pokémon TCG. I can literally see cards I once traded in sitting in their binders and display cases. But reflecting on my most recent visit, there are two issues that really stand out. 1. Trade-In and Cash Value Are Low The percentages they offer for both cash and trade are noticeably lower than other shops. A competitor priced the same cards roughly 30% higher--the only reason I didn't go with them that day was because their cash flow was low and they couldn't pay out at the time. That discrepancy alone is frustrating. 2. Staffing & Negotiation Have Become Inconsistent In the past, staff have always treated me respectfully. They weren't rude this time either, but historically they've been fair with negotiation--occasionally offering a small discount or working closer to market value. This time, that didn't happen. They insisted on giving "market value" for just one card and then even less percentage for the rest. I asked for around 40%, and we eventually agreed on a deal involving a $10 card. But at the last minute, I was pressured into dropping the deal by another ~5% "so everyone's happy." The truth is, I wasn't -- especially considering I was already accepting a lower percentage just to make the deal work. If I'm a regular customer, I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect fair negotiation. I wasn't even met in the middle at 35% on a $220 value. Bottom Line: If you're looking for a solid selection of cards and okay pricing, this shop is fine. But if you're interested in selling or trading, I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere. Unfortunately, the stereotype about some hobby shops being cut-throat with trade-ins feels pretty accurate here.

I was there just to browse, but the guys working were more than happy to entertain me and answer any questions I had and also show me everything they had that might interest me.
