Great cafe, owned and operated by locals. Great drinks and service Wish they had longer and later hours. read more

Coffee house off of Cully. Only 'complaint' is coffee is spendy but it was very good. Service was great too. Located on the side of the street, I passed it often and finally decided to stop in. Parking is limited. I like the decor inside and a very chill place to study and do some work. It's always busy when I pass. read more

Ran in for a quick coffee to take with me on the road, and was pleasantly surprised! The shop was clean and uniquely decorated. The baristas were super friendly, promptly made our drinks, and did a fantastic job. The iced Americano's were delicious! I really liked that you can pick the roast of your espresso shots! I ordered the dark roast, and will definitely be ordering that again soon! read more

I was able to go to Bison last weekend,. I will first start off by saying V ladies working behind the counter were incredibly helpful and insightful on letting my daughter and I know all about the coffee shop. It was our first time visiting, they made us feel like we were regulars. I had my usual iced latte with oat milk and honey and I'd like to say it's one of the better ones that I've had in Portland so far. They have their own homemade pastries that they make their in-house. This is a must for people that are trying to find a new coffee shop, this place is outstanding and I have a feeling it's gonna become one of my regular weekend go to's.

My husband and tried Bison Coffee for the first time recently and we loved it! I loved how they asked what our roast level preference was for our lattes, and their house made pastries were solid. The place is welcoming and cozy! read more

This should have been a 5-star review. 8:05am on a Sunday morning, had just opened. Baristas were super chatty and friendly. Order came up fast. Flat white was delicious. Chairs were comfy, lots of wood furniture. Liked the art. Vibes were great. Until I was about to leave, and saw a stack of Chris Dudley bumper stickers and brochures. Asked the baristas about it, was told they hosted him for a campaign event two weeks earlier. Automatic 1 star. I'd give them zero stars if Yelp allowed it. Voluntarily giving a platform to a Republican candidate for office? In 2026? Sheer lunacy. And for everyone who will say "You'd really stop patronizing a great coffee shop over politics?" Yes. Yes I would. Unapologetically. read more

Tik Tok got hyperlocal and recommended this place to me while I'm in town. So while my wife and I were running around I suggested we check this place out. The exterior and interior are super cool, really cool vibes with a ton of stuff to look at. The coffee was better than a lot of places I've been to in Portland, and the the molasses cookie I got was soft, chewy, and really tasty. The staff were fine; they kinda seemed bothered by us asking a few questions about their baked goods (nothing is really labeled so we had to ask), but they weren't like completely rude or anything. Easy street parking and we were able to get in and out in just a couple of minutes. But there's also a lot of tables if you want to dine in. Overall, pretty good coffee shop. I'd come back. read more

The best darkest blend in Town! Nice people too! Home made pastries are sweeeet Decor is interesting with native art. GO THERE!! read more

[Ambiance] I love how intentionally the cafe was set up and decorated. Bison Coffee House is Portland's only Native-owned coffee establishment. It is a safe space for Natives, and also support veterans. The cafe is very spacious and beautiful. I love the flowers out front and the natural light inside. [Drink] I tried one of the seasonal specials--a hot brown butter latte with oat milk. Delicious! You get a choice of light, medium or dark roast espresso. I opted for dark and it was smooth and delicious. [Other] I bought a shirt-sleeve shirt to support the local business for only $22. High quality and cute design. [Service] The two employees that helped me were very patient, kind and helpful. I asked a lot of questions and was met with a level of patience that unfortunately is rare in cafes. I highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

My favorite part of this coffee house is the option to pick what type of roast you would like your espresso drink made from. I've tried their medium roast and decaf selection and both are full bodied, rich and incredibly smooth. Baristas are always lovely and answer all my questions. Usually take my order to go but the inside is a cozy western-ish theme! read more

Dropped by for a quick cup of joe right before my flight. Loved the interior (gave off the homie/comfy vibes). I wish I more time to chill there and actually do some work. The pastry selection was MASSIVE, I would've loved to try more but the coffee cake I did get was hella good! Paired with my capp I was in a great mood to take my flight back home. Would def recommend if you're ever in the area! read more

I visited Bison Coffee House a few weeks ago. I came there to work and to read. The space is decorated so well. I love the bison head. There are also a ton of drinks to choose from and a great selection of pastries. The service was friendly. There's also a nice back patio area as well. I got a sweet cream scone that had berries in it and a chai. The scone was soft, buttery, and delicious. The chai was good. Since I was at the shop for awhile, I got a second drink. The other drink that I got was a strawberry matcha which was equally delicious as the other things. I'll definitely come back here and I highly recommend that you check out this coffee shop. read more

We stopped here trying to find a coffee shop before heading out for a hike. Super cute coffee shop and reasonable prices.

Speechless but appreciative for sure my mouth is delighted the coffee cake and ricotta. Abel are a must try and the lavender latte is to die for. They should've just called it kamikaze coffee Mz. SaVistication read more

This little coffee shop is a special place! I visited four times last week while filling in on a different route during work. My first visit I got a medium roast Americano and cheddar bacon biscuit. The Americano was well-balanced, crisp, and smoky and the biscuit was fresh, buttery, and light served at the perfect temperature. Everything I got throughout the rest of the week was fantastic switching to a medium roast coffee w cream and sugar most days that were consistently delicious and the perfect midday boost. The mozzarella spinach biscuit, everything bagel, and blueberry muffin I purchased were similarly spot on! The talented staff are welcoming and very personable. 10/10! If this is your local shop you already know - definitely worth a stop read more

After landing in Portland we were hungry and needed coffee really bad. Found this little spot and was really happy with the lattes that we ordered and all the breakfast and pastries that we ordered. Inside is kind of small but they had outside patio seating which was super cute. We'll be coming back for sure next time we're in Portland. read more

One of the coffee shops in the area that opens early and it was a much needed coffee for a long drive. Service was quick and they took the time to make my veggie bagel sandwich. As a native coffee lover, I love to support coffee shops owned by Native people. read more

Many of us have probably zoomed past this coffee house without realizing there was a jem sitting there waiting to be noticed all along. Sure it's on a busy road but it is definitely worth the pull over. They utilize a walk up window for now. And there's some outdoor seating. I ordered a bacon cheddar biscuit, a brownie and a warm bourbon apple cider. I ate the brownie too fast for pics (that's how good it was). The biscuit was unbelievable. I haven't had a biscuit in portland that wasn't semi hard by the time it was in my hands so this was a huge plus for me. And my drink was delicious. I would totally refer Bison to anyone looking for drinks and eats at a coffee shop in the NE. read more

Great coffee. Love the ambiance. Perfect for catching up with a friend, doing some work, avoiding the rain. A no BS store, gives you exactly what you need and what you ask for. Great coffee, great lattes, decent selection of pastries and breakfast. read more

I went there a week ago, though I live about 10 miles away, to show support. I am happy to say I had to wait in a long line of people who seemed to be a combination of local residents the employees and owner knew by name and people there for the first time asking about different things on the menus, people in fine attire and those more humbly dressed. Truly was a coming together of different types, which isn't that what "diversity" is? People leaving extra large tips and also contributing to a recovery fund, nobody asking about political affiliation, gender identity, sexual preference, just standing in line together to support a local (minority-owned) business that was a victim of trying to bring a community together. read more

The coffee here was great! I chose to have a cortado. Service was friendly and the shop itself was quaint. All in all, a good experience with good coffee and nothing to complain about. read more

Stopped by Bison on our way to PDX this morning because I missed it the last time I was in the area. We got two iced lattes, the Sundance with a medium roast and the Black Lavender with a light roast, both with oat milk and a blackberry muffin. These were two of the best lattes I've had in a long time! The Sundance is sage and mint - which adds a unique taste to a latte, but in my opinion pairs perfectly with oat milk. The Black Lavender has a nice floral flavor that's not too strong, and paired well with the light roast. Just stop - you won't be disappointed. read more

This use to be my favorite coffee shop but recently their coffee has been so inconsistent!!! The coffee either taste burnt or it's extremely sweet not even drinkable. read more

I paid $40 for two coffees and two pieces of quiche. The coffee is OK. The quiche is absolutely disgusting like one of the worst pieces of quiche I've ever had egg is overcooked to shit like they just microwave nuke the thing to cook it and absolutely zero salt it's also eight dollars for this little slice of quiche. this place sucks. Don't go here. I really need you to understand how bad it is $40 for two tiny pieces of quiche and two coffees. That is absolutely fucking ridiculous. read more

Very cool place but be careful with their pos system , I was charged twice at the counter and then had to wait until they could figure it out which they did not and I had to call my bank to get it taken care of . No one wants to be charged $80 for their morning coffee these days. And the next day I had to call my bank again because I was definitely charged 2x. Which caused me to overdraft . Bring cash if you plan on getting a beverage from here to avoid your own hassle. When I called to tell them about this I was met with big attitude. Unfortunately they have a bad pos system and bad attitudes to match read more

The atmosphere was very peaceful, and the coffee yummy! I'd come here again for sure.

What an amazing coffee shop with so much heart and attention to detail. This wonderful coffee house is a MUST visit while in Portland, yes there're many coffee shops within walking distance from Bison, and a popular donut shop, but Bison Coffee House will warm your soul and provide well crafted coffee drinks, as well as, pastries. One thing that I love about Bison, is that they offer "sugar free" syrups like, Vanilla, Hazelnut, and my favorite, Caramel. Way to look out for ALL your customers Bison. What makes this place special is the coffee beans, and it shows out in all their drinks, I personally love their dark roast. But there is MORE... Don't even think about leaving here without a Green Chili Biscuit, not sure if it's Hatch chili or Anaheim but nevertheless it's a must try. Service is professional, helpful and warm. PS: Not important to me to have a cheerleader as batista. Thank you Bison Coffee House - Blessings read more

We stopped by this cute place on a short trip to Portland. I got an Americano and my partner got a coffee. The coffee was good. The lady who took our order wasn't overly friendly (Not rude, just not friendly either), but the man making our coffees was friendly and even asked us what type of roast we preferred. We also got a spinach mozzarella biscuit and a sweet cream scone. The biscuit was cheesy goodness! The scone wasn't overly sweet which was good. Parking is a bit tricky. The place was packed because it's clearly a popular spot. read more

Coffee was abnormally strong, got coffee for in house and it was in to-go cup- why ask if always in to go cup. I asked for a Carmel Americano with cream. She didn't say anything but "k". She seemed groggy and didn't smile at all. Bad energy. Not great coffee. Just seems popular because of location read more

It's the only Native American owned and operated coffee place in Portland? Yes please! On my visit there were three young Navajo women who were visiting from Arizona and New Mexico. They made it a point to visit due to the ownership. How cool! So did I. Gotta support all the BIPOC businesses. Yes there are Bison related items everywhere, on the walls, furniture and even the bathroom. I had an espresso with a bubbly water and a spicy Chai. I went with the medium roast and the espresso had more depth than usual, a nice surprise. The Chai was a bit sweet for my taste, but the spicy part was on point. I really liked the glassware they chose for the espresso and bubbly. And the wifi was good as well. read more
