Had a brief work meeting at this location this morning. Had a cup of decaf, Americano, and a raspberry scone. The scone was good, it was way too sweet for my taste. The decaf Americano was very good. The counter service here was really good, the person putting the register was very friendly, very fast, very helpful. The place was very busy with a nice vibe of people working, and people just enjoying their coffee. read more

Just as good as I remember. An excellent spot to stop & enjoy a cup of coffee and a baked good, especially if you want sweet or savory pie. The Raspberry Ginger scone was very good & had chunks of crystallized ginger. Most people are working on laptops or hanging out, so the noise level is perfectly reasonable. read more

Service is quick and kind! They have the best home style pies around. The marionberry I think is my top favorite. They have tons of seating, and it's a very chill vibe. Good for laptop days or chatting with friends! read more

Pretty nice and friendly place to go for a coffee or tea. The place has the chill neighborhood vibe to it. The people working here are friendly. I was able to get a hibiscus tea iced as I didn't want it hot and it came out pretty quick. The place has plenty of room to relax and enjoy a conversation. read more

Our friends in town wanted to meet up at Bipartisan Cafe, known for their handmade pies. It's next door to Vintage Cocktail Lounge and Redwood. We dropped in on a busy Sunday morning (9:15am). Order at the front, then wait for your name to be called. No service (you busk your own tables) yet the minimum tip option was 15%. Coffees are $3.25 to $6.00 USD in three sizes (8 oz, 12 oz and 16 oz). For food, they offer pies, pastries, sandwiches, breakfast sammies, bagels and quiches. - Latte ($5.25 USD 12 oz) - subbed for oat ($1.25 USD extra). Solid but pricey cup of coffee. - Ham breakfast sammie ($8.50 USD) - black forest ham, egg, dijon and aged white cheddar. Sandwich was tiny and bland. Disappointing. - Veggie quiche ($6.50 USD) - spinach, zucchini and button mushrooms. Decent. Would stick with the pies at BC. read more

Not the greatest coffee, atmosphere, friendliness, or prices. Like, give me one thing. It took quite a long time to get the order and it didn't seem busy or like there was much of a reason for it. I wish we liked this place because it's in our neighborhood, but whenever we give it another try over the months and years, it's consistently disappointing. read more

Had a delicious iced lavender oat milk latte. My nephew loved his iced peppermint white mocha. And we both enjoyed the most delicious chocolate chip cookies! read more

The Bipartisan Cafe welcomed us out of the rain with friendly counter staff. I ordered a home made Marionberry scone to accompany my hot coffee, which was the perfect pairing. There was ample seating for groups of different size and lots of people celebrating the New Year! read more

Four stars for lack of seating. I know that when you have a really good coffee space, that people are gonna come get on their computers, sip their water, maybe one cup of coffee all day in common dear a spot. The issue was when one person takes up a spot for three and stays there for hours. Which happens here. I'm happy for those people, who maybe can't afford Wi-Fi but maybe they should go to Starbucks and take their coffee from this place to Starbucksbecause Starbucks has a lot more room and people move faster. The cappuccino was the best I've had anywhere. Waiting to sit to drink. It was not the best I've had anywhere. There's also a long line so if you don't like lines at your problem, I really don't mind waiting in line for the best cup of coffee. But once I get it, I wanna sit down somewhere. Maybe put some more counters against the walls or something so that those of us who just wanna sit with our drinks for a minute. read more

Bipartisan Cafe - Cap - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

An old school coffeehouse, with eclectic furnishings and cool old political posters and articles. It's not my neighborhood so while I wouldn't go out of my way to stop there, I totally would be a regular if it were my neighborhood. read more

How did I forget how wonderful Bipartisan Cafe is? I suppose living across the metro area... Housed in a historical building, this cafe features an incredibly deep selection of homemade pies and good coffee The servers are friendly but not over the top. I enjoyed the reminders of national politics at different times. Pecan pie was sexy! read more

Old-fashioned vibe, interesting eclectic crowd. Good bike parking, some outdoor seating. I ordered the quiche, it was OK but expected it to be sensational in a place that prides itself on its pies. Drinks are good, although the steep upcharge for milk alternatives is unfair. The staffer who took my order was not friendly, seemed clueless, but another one apologized with a cookie after the first screwed up my order, so that's cool. There are some nice big tables to meet with a group. read more

This is a down to earth cafe with a full cafe menu and good pies. There are a good number of seats available. Staff is kind. Street parking. I believe the owner wants to keep this place affordable and neighborhood friendly. I like that. I will be back. read more

Really good coffee. Excellent pastries. I highly recommend the raspberry bran muffins, and I don't care if that makes me sound like an old man. They're delicious. While there are a thousand coffee shops in every corner of Portland where you can go and be condescendingly judged by the staff for your style, drink choice, audacity for being, etc... this is not one of them. It's almost as if their goal is to ensure you have an enjoyable experience and that you want to come back. So far, they are nailing it. The name is also perfect, because it is truly an eclectic group of patrons here. A good mix of Portland level weird, classic cafe cool, and an over all relaxing vibe. I feel like the Eagles would dig this place. read more

Oh my .. one star, just like five stars are very hard for me to give out, you got to work pretty hard to earn that. Well, congrats you did it Bipartisan. I ordered 4 pie slices and 2 sandwiches, from their menu on their website, 16 hours advance no less, when it arrived the pies were not in the bag, but there was a note that said, "sorry- we don't have the rest " and then they put a happy face on the receipt. I had to ask for a refund on the missing food items. This is really poor customer service and the happy face was tacky, even if I have a good sense of humor. Don't put items on the menu, when you can't provide them, and if you can't provide them... let your customers know in advance. read more

The people that run this place are terrible. They hate dogs. They hate people who have dogs. They are haters. They don't understand the service animal thing. They think that there's some kind of standard when there isn't. The manager lied actually straight out lied about my dog. He said my dog was barking. He said this because she is a dog. He made an assumption and lied because he thought it was safe. He has green painted fingernails. I would be a complete ass if I made assumptions about him and his green fingernails and then said they were truth which is exactly what he did to me and my dog. These are not nice people. They're not good people. They're not bipartisan, they lie to suit their egos. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for decades. Today I ordered the quiche. Usually their quiche is tall, fluffy and the crust is flaky and light. Today? Ugh. Flat, overcooked, no flavor and the crust was overdone. They gave me a refund and a free side of cream cheese to add to my bagel, which was kind. What happened though to the amazing quiche???? Please bring it back. read more

I've been to this great cafe in Montavilla many times. I often house/pet sit nearby and always make a point to visit when I'm around. I think they streamlined their menu a bit during the pandemic. I love being able to pick up at the window outside if I'm not dining in. There's street parking nearby and a covered seating area on the road/sidewalk. The staff have always been very friendly and prepared everything well. I've had solid bagel sandwiches and regular sandwiches from Bipartisan but usually just get a latte to go. I don't know if they're still on the menu, but the coffee and chai milkshakes are/were yummy. I'm really surprised that I don't recall having ever gotten quiche, pie, or any other kind of pastry or sweet item. They always look good so hopefully it is just a matter of time. read more

I appreciate that this place has vegan options. Their vegan pies are very good. However, they charge an additional $1.25 to use oat milk in a cappuccino. This is much more than any other coffee shop I have been to in town. I have also been served real egg in my "vegan" breakfast sandwich, which is microwaved and not that great under the best of circumstances. I understand that mistakes can happen but this does not make me excited to come here often. Vegans, this place is decent in a pinch but double check your orders. read more

the food was amazing. the pie was out of this world, each bite a small piece of heaven. as the sensational crust hit my lips, i knew i was in for a treat. I got carrot cake, vegan marionberry, and chocolate hehe. couldn't help myself... my wife was with me and we left happy and smiling like never before. just like when we first met. The drink was amazing too. I had a simply yet pleasing latte, the woman a chai. service was amazing. shoutout the employee pictured. inside ambiance was immaculate. read more

Overall this cafe is adorable. This is a wonderful place to come to get work done because of the abundance of outlets, but also if you would like a high quality sweet treat, or a wonderfully homemade feel breakfast Sammie. The overall atmosphere is welcoming, inviting, and the right amount of homey. There is plenty of space so a lot of people can fit comfortably. The noise level is doable if you want to get work done. A pair of noise cancelling headphones will drown out any unwanted noise. This would also be a lovely place for a date with someone special as they have a few good private corners for privacy. The service was fast, the banana cream pie was TO DIE FOR. I highly recommend. The portion size was hefty as well so you could split with someone else if you choose. Overall, 10/0! read more

Place looks great. Good service. Got my coffee to go and it turned out to not be hot enough (at least 155°). I was also blindsided by the fact they charged me for alternative milk because I got a breve. Which only means they used half&half instead of 2%. read more

I was gifted this pie and holy moley it is so good!! It's chocolatey and peanut buttery without it being heavy and the whipped cream isn't too sweet and has the perfect texture. I've already bought another since then, it is so delicious. read more

Totally rude employees! I was with my dog and peaked my head in and asked if I could please order a cup of coffee and pay at the pick-up window, as I guess one does when ordering online. They said I must order online and I said that I didn't have my phone. The cafe was pretty empty so I'm not sure why they were so obnoxious and unhelpful. Let's just say they had attitude! I walked down the street to a lovely place on 81st street and was greeted with warmth and kindness. I will never go back to Bipartisan Cafe again! read more

$1.25 for "alternative milk" in my coffee is absurd. Why do I have to pay for half the container when you're only using a splash in my drink? What is the justification for discriminating against someone who is not able to drink cow milk or who would prefer to make the healthier, more compassionate (towards cows) and more sustainable choice? Get with the times! It's too bad because this is my neighborhood coffee shop but I'll avoid it until this improves read more

The banana cream pie is the best in Portland. You can buy it by the slice or a whole pie to go and they charge a deposit for the pie pan. They return the deposit upon return of the pan. read more

I love coming here to work but very respectfully... the coffee is okay. The staff is nice and the ambience is just right :)

Pie! My mom loves pie. It's something we can do together. The boomer and her silent generation (she never got the memo) mom stuff their faces with delights assembled by the three generations behind us. As mom says, "these kids know how to bake." I like anything but fruit in my pie and mom eats every kind of fruit pie they make. Great prices and a funky little dining area where we can enjoy some coffee with our slices. We get it to go sometimes and enjoy how the whipped cream stays fluffy in the container until we get home. Parking can be tough but walking off a few calories lessens the guilt. read more

Slowest Sat AM barista ever. Multiple weekends in a row, same woman, turtle pace. Also gotten my order wrong 50% of the time.

This place is a staple in the neighborhood. The food quality and service consistently exceeds my expectations. You can always count on the fabulous pies, quiches and soups and so much more. Today the manager went above and beyond and made my mom's only request of a cherry birthday pie happen. Thank you for your extra efforts today. read more

Bipartisan Cafe - Whole Cherry pie - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It's seriously not ok the health violations I've witnessed the last month at this coffee shop that I used to call home. I've written two letters to the Owner Josh Pangelinan, one I mailed and one was put in the mail slot on the door. Both were ignored. So I'll state the issues here. There is a tall strawberry blonde that works there and she/they have two long braids that go to their rib cage, they wear them dangling in the front and have witnessed the braids fall in drinks while they laugh and wipe them off with a rag, l've also witnessed the same issue while their making sandwiches. I've watched the Cashier take orders and handle money, then jump in to help make drinks and not wash his hands. The same thing happened with a dark haired Woman with shorter dual braids, bus the tables, then put down the dish tub to jump in and make sandwiches without washing her hands. All these situations go against health code violations. I will be making a formal report to the health department in person tomorrow. If you like hair blatantly put in your food and drinks and unwashed hands, then Bon Appetite to you!! read more

It's a beautiful space in the charming Montevilla neighborhood. The coffee is good, but I never seem to get the same barista--so my cappuccino beverage often varies, the temperature often tepid--not my preference. You'll be directed to wait outside for your order to be picked up at the window. Not the best situation when it's near freezing temperatures outside. (At least it wasn't raining, right?). The service vibe not great, on the gloomy/grumpy side. Although I've never tried, their pies and pastries look good. read more

We stopped in after going to the local farmers' market. Yes, it was busy and understandably took awhile to have our order taken. However, our coffee was served 10-15 minutes before our pie and cake. We finished our drinks before the rest of the order arrived. We went up to the counter three times to check on our order as we wanted to enjoy our drinks with our dessert. My chocolate cream pie was dried out on one side - I would assume it hadn't been covered after being cut probably the day before. The chocolate flavor was very weak. My husband's carrot cake was very dry and crumbly. We each took a few bites, then left. We would have asked for our money back, but frankly we didn't want to wait another long while for that to happen. I know it is busy during a farmers' market weekend, but it is September and that should have been figured out by now. Also, the drinks and the desserts should have arrived together. Had we wanted to order more coffee, it would have been another long wait. We also noticed the woman in front of us in line had two different issues with her order as well. We will not return. read more

I wish I could give two different ratings. 1 of the food and 1 for the Service, because they are very different... they have wonderful pies, cookies, really all the the baked goods are awesome, there actual "food food" is kind of weak, but it's a cafe they all are. Normally the problem for most places is the food but everything else is great. The problem at the bipartisan is the Service, it's horrible, And to be honest embarrassing. They have this attitude of you inconveniencing them because you nicely asked for a cup of coffee, they are very uncommunicative when it comes to answering simple questions. read more

Coffee is a little expensive ( as it is everywhere) about $7 for a large iced latte with oat milk and syrup. But my god, their sandwiches are life changing. I just got the toasted turkey and it's easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. So easy and simple- they do it right here! read more

Every time I come here the service gets ruder and ruder. Stopped there briefly today for a latte before a walk. The guy was pretty snippy about me wearing a mask even though I was outside and there was a window and no contact. I had it with me, so no problem. Didn't need to be so snippy though. Every time I have come here though, the service had been kind of rude. The lattes weren't very hot either. No pie it looked like either but was afraid to ask. My boyfriend and I probably won't be back. Other friendlier cafes have Coava coffee and without the'tude. read more

Food was fairly good. I got lentil soul and tried my friends chili soup. Also got a mushroom sandwich and my friend got the cheese sandwich; both... good. Coffee was... good. Good place to drop by. The space has a vibe... bipartisan-y, go figure. The servers don't swarm you with overt attention, they give you mindful space. I'd come back again. "Good" for me means, I would stand to make a return, but not go too far out of my way for it. My friend is a fan. So, two diff options that still even out to... good. read more

After various visits, I have to say this cafe definitely makes some of the best pies in town. I am very neutral when it comes to the whole cake vs. pie debate, but hot damn, I don't think I will go anywhere else to get my pie crave fix. All the baked goods are made fresh at the shop and they make a heavenly buttery and flakey pie crust. Fillings and such are sweet but not over the top. The vegan blackberry pie is even worth having and I'm not even vegan. The strawberry rhubarb is definitely one of my favorite pies thus far. Free wi-fi is definitely a huge plus and necessity when it comes to cafes these days. The service is friendly and the women behind the counter are usually cheerful as they bake some tasty treats and such. Lately I have become a fan of the dragonfly black chai tea since it keeps me awake for the rest of the day. The atmosphere is laid back and is a great place to catch up on some book readings. read more
