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

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

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!!!

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'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

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

Upon reminding them after the customers behind us were served, the barista was super apologetic and made the drip coffee immediately. However, the coffee was lukewarm and didn't have a strong coffee taste either (according to my friend). Overall a cute little cafe on Hawthorne, but I wouldn't drive out of my way for their coffee. I would be willing to give this place another shot if I was in the area, as their other seasonal drinks look yummy!

The two-tops are fairly snug together so it can feel like you're eavesdropping or being listened to. There's counter seating along one side which had some refreshing morning sun- when a couple seats opened up there, we moved and were very comfy. There are a couple of cozy chairs in the front window and some additional counter and lounge seating in an adjoining room. The drink quality and presentation were high quality and delicious. The cost of a 12oz latte ($7) with no special milk was higher than other cafes I've been to recently around Portland including places that create their own syrups for specialty drinks of the month. That said, I don't begrudge the cost of a masterfully hand-crafted, drinkable cup of art and that is exactly what I received. I think the cost stuck in my head because the welcome did not feel particularly warm at the register. They were having an animated conversation with the barista and I couldn't help but feel like we were inconveniencing them by saying good morning and trying to order. When we picked up our orders, the barista was warm and friendly. Overall, it's a delightful spot in an equally lovely neighborhood.

I love when places use real strawberry and whisk it into the milk before the matcha is added. I hope they add this to the regular menu because I think it was just a valentines special.
