My all time favorite coffee spot in Portland! I drive past many other spots to get my latte made here. Its a vibe, music playing, bacon smell in the air. Dogs getting treats, couples dancing while they wait. You could be having a bad day and they will make it better. Fresh bagels delivered daily makes the best sandwiches. Best cannoli i have ever tasted! read more

I had the jalapeño bagel and it was so flavorful! It was even better with egg and cheese. I also had a pistachio matcha which was good. It's a food truck and they have some seating outside read more

Ordered their homemade sausage breakfast bagel on plain bagel with garlic&chive cream cheese. Didn't love the bagel itself, could have also been toasted a little bit more but everything in the sandwich was really good. read more

Want a place with delicious ass food, yummy coffee, and a genuine owner that cares for their community? Kind is the place. Their prices make it easy for us in the working class to afford to go out. I can get a 16 ounce coffee for under $6 - beat that. The food is fire... I don't know how they get their bagels the perfect amount of crisp and crunch while still soft. This is the way I celebrate self care - treating myself to Kind Coffee. read more

This place was our first stop on our visit to Portland. Gino the dog got some treats and his photo taken! The coffee and bagels were delicious and the staff were really what makes this place special. It's perfectly named, because everyone really was super kind. We had a great experience and enjoyed our breakfast in the benches, where Gino the dog could join. It's located in a food cart pod, so the ambiance is casual, friendly, welcoming. Classic Portland experience!! read more

Great little neighborhood coffeehouse. Cozy ambiance & delicious coffee! Everyone's super friendly, and they have lots of yummy pastries.

Although I have a few favorite Portland coffee places, this is my #1 of them all! The coffee is always spot on and the food is perfect for that morning or early afternoon pick me up. Staff is always friendly, engaging, and all around creative. Althea they used to be known as Kind Coffee, same folks, same menu. same great service now under the Benevolent cover, which suits them well. read more

The sweetest people plus the coffee is solid and the breakfast sandwiches are the absolute bomb.

My doctor's office is across the street and I really needed coffee before driving home... Wow! Such a treat! I only had an iced cardamom coffee but I have to say, I'm not a coffee snob by any stretch of the imagination... I drink coffee for the caffeine and it usually takes me all morning to drink a cup...but I almost cried when I sucked down the last of this coffee in about 10 minutes. The taste was perfect. Balanced, not at all bitter. A little sweet but just right. And the barista asked if I wanted dairy milk or not and thank you, because I always forget. I opted for the oat milk and it was fantastic! Even if you're a coffee snob, you will LOVE this coffee! I'm going back tomorrow to try the Lavender Latte! Can't wait!! read more

Kind coffee is a terrific place. An "If good vibes came in liquid form", they'd serve it kind of place. Very good coffee and bagel sandwiches served by folks so generous with their kindness that it kind of changed my attitude towards the day. My kind of place. read more

I love Kind Coffee! My only complaint is that it's not located right next to my house.

I had been thinking about trying this place for awhile after seeing some pretty great reviews and seeing those little cannolis. Alas every time I would try to go they were closed due to heatwave, Fourth of July or vacation when I finally arrived the people were so welcoming and as the name suggests, kind! I got a macadamia latte with oatmilk iced and it was so delicious, and of course those cannolis. They were worth the hype and I definitely will be back whenever I can. read more

This cart has good coffee and amazing cannolis that they fill on the spot. They remind me of the cannolis I get in Boston. The only thing off putting about Kind Coffee is the unkind barista. I'm not sure of her name but you'll know exactly who I'm talking about from the moment you walk up. She is the taller dark haired barista with a stank, yes stank attitude. The owner is sweet and the blond barista is adorable but if you're gonna be at something named Kind, at least try to be kind, try!!! Consumers don't have to pay for rude and disrespectful!! read more

My favorite breakfast bagel place. The egg is actually fried- not that weird scrambled patty a lot of other places do around here. My east coast heart is so happy to have found this place read more

Kind coffee was a definite stand out after a recent trip to the PDX! My son and I just happened upon them during a morning walk and ordered their delicious breakfast sandwiches and coffee. We even added on one cannoli for breakfast dessert and it was REALLY good! My son liked Kind coffee so much that he jogged there the next three mornings for breakfast and shared that if the KIND truck could magically teleport to a location near his NYC apartment, he would go there every day!!! read more

Come for the nice strong coffee, stay for the amazing jalapeño bagel breakfast sandwich

Rainy days and Friday, I needed a caffeine fix and walked over to this place, that is close to my work. Service was warm and professional but I must have ordered the wrong thing or maybe the mix wasn't right or something. I ordered the Chai Latte and it was really bitter, I didn't want to take it back but I couldn't finish it. I wonder if the tea was way to bitter.. I will return but probably stay away from the Chai. I do want to try their cannoli's, I read they're really tasty. read more

Great coffee, good breakfast sandwiches, and real New York cannolis. I use to live next door to the owner so I heard the story of them spending weeks looking for the right coffee, plus holding off on cannolis till they could find the perfect source for the ingredients. read more

Benevolent Coffee Cart - Saturday morning at Kind Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yo, these folks have excellent coffee AND...cannolis!? Wtf!? And they're good cannolis! This is a boss move, a huge flex that literally gives them a superior edge over the rest of the coffee shops in town. So here we are, they're already a superior coffee shop...then they give your dog hella treats and it makes their day! This business model of being the best across the board (even to dogs) and having standard-to-better prices for their stuff is clearly a labor of love. Tip the barista folks like they are saving the world one cannoli at a time. read more

I was in Portland visiting, and The Bite on Belmont and this coffee place came highly recommended for breakfast and a coffee. I do not regret coming here. It was easy to read the menu and place an order. The employees were very friendly and understanding. The breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, cheese on an English Muffin was outstanding. The coffee was delicious. The cannoli's were wonderful. I look forward to coming back the next time I visit Portland. read more

This is my favorite breakfast sandwich, cannoli, and coffee vendor in town. Fran brings the NY sass and cooks a mean East coast bagel sandwich. Best cannoli in Portland- we are from NY and we've sought out all the other places in pdx. I am particularly fond of their coffee as they use unsweeetened soy milk if you request soy and then offer maple syrup as well. read more

One of the best vanilla lattes I've ever had and I'm extremely picky. Found this place on Yelp and saw they had a 5 star rating so came to see if I was in agreement. Yes! So happy to say I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Friendly, quick service, with just enough humor and sarcasm to make my day. Also picked up a tasty bagel with cream cheese. Thanks! I'll be back! read more

I've been craving cannolis so badly lately and was on a hunt to find a good cannoli spot. During my hunt, I learned that there aren't many places in Portland that have cannolis aside from Italian restaurants. Kind Coffee instantly caught my eye during my hunt since they do mini cannolis at an affordable price ($2 each) out of a food cart. A food cart cannoli with glowing reviews? I definitely needed to try it out. I ordered 10 mini, filled-to-order cannolis early Saturday afternoon (for me and my partner!) and they were delicious. When fresh, the shell was perfectly crispy, but held up as expected, maybe a tad better, after sitting a few days in my fridge. I loved how stuffed the cannoli was with the ricotta and chocolate chip filling. While I haven't tasted many cannolis, this filling was one of my favorites so far. It was creamy and rich, with the perfect amount of deliciously sweet chocolate chips. There was the perfect shell to filling ratio, with an added bonus of more filling overflowing from the sides of the cannoli in an easy-to-eat fashion. I appreciated the use of milk/semi-sweet chocolate chips rather than dark chocolate, as I like having sweeter desserts. In light of that, I think the cannoli could be improved by adding more powdered sugar to the cannoli shell. Overall, however, this was a really tasty cannoli. I'm already craving more and will make the drive across town for more in the very soon future. I want to try more cannoli places in Portland before giving Kind Coffee five stars, but it's set the standard quite high for sure. I really wish Kind Coffee was closer to me, as I'm sure I'd be a regular. I'd definitely be a regular to grab an irresponsible amount of cannolis, but the breakfast sandwiches also smelled fantastic and I can always appreciate a nice cup of coffee as well. read more

Benevolent Coffee Cart - Amazing mini cannolis (5 for $10) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This cart has replaced the Da-Pressed Coffee Cart at Good Food Here. It's a standard coffee and espresso menu here. There are a few non-coffee items, including fresh juice. Mary from the nearby Blues City Biscuits cart recommended the hot chocolate here ($2 for the small), which contains milk and Holy Cacow chocolate syrup. An excellent choice. It had a bit of richness to it, so I believe whole milk or 2% was used. The cocoa wasn't an overpowering chocolate blast, just a comforting pick-me-up for a chilly day. Great choice for a chocolate syrup. It's a nice place to go for your caffeine fix. read more

Wow! I came here for the Viking food truck which Yelp said was open but it was not so I ended up at KIND. So glad I did. The coffee and food is awesome and the staff are actually KaIND.

Stopped to get coffee here while waiting for a table across the street. The hostess recommended this over the shop down the street. The two people working were nice. It was the only cart open at this hour. The rest probly open later for lunch. Prices were average. The mocha was really good, more coffee taste than chocolate which I like. read more
