My favorite coffee shop! The owners know me, know my drink, are super nice and actually take the time to get to know you. If you are in SE, stop in..they are right next to Rocios, they do have limited hours since they are family owned and run. Don't be in a hurry, this is not Starbucks, it's the cheers of coffee shops! read more

Broken Robot is a really small cute coffee shop with a wide selection of pastries! I tried the bacon cheddar pull apart croissant, which was AMAZING, and a nonfat iced latte with SF raspberry and SF macadamia nut. Their sugar free selection is pretty large with SF vanilla, hazelnut, and pumpkin pie as well! The regular flavors available are a wide range including toffee nut, lavender, rose, peppermint, raspberry, white peach, and blackberry!! read more

We had a pastry and coffee break, the latte was creamy and balanced and the croissant was fresh and flaky. Polite, fast food and comfortable atmosphere were an ideal beginning of the day. We'll definitely be back! read more

You could walk right by Broken Robot and totally miss it. Your life would be incomplete if you made that mistake. It is not big, but it more than makes up for it with great coffee and great food! I tried a drip coffee (Flux Caffeinator) it was smooth and flavorful. The breakfast sandwich was delicious too. It doesn't come out quick, but it's worth the wait. The English muffin was one of the best I've had. The egg was made well and the cheese was nice and creamy. Great service, great coffee, great food, and a great location! This was so amazing! read more

10/10 coffee shop. I feel so lucky to live close to this shop, but even if you don't you must stop by.... The shop is small and clean, run by a duo of really kind women who I love chatting with. Their espresso roast is Colombian (my personal favorite) and DELICIOUS. They're syrups are mostly Monin brand and every drink I get tastes phenomenal. Every damn time they NAIL it. Not to mention they have the best prices of any shop I've visited thus far in Portland area. But I would shop here even if it was more expensive, because they are that good. So much good to say, & only moved to the neighborhood a month ago. Will be a long time customer! read more

The pastries at this place are ridiculously good. The Nutella roll especially slaps. Lisa, the owner, works so hard and it's a family labor of love. I think they even roast the coffee. This coffee shop is the essence of community. Two blocks from Dutchies on Holgate...nudge, nudge, wink, wink. read more

The food and drinks are decent but as another review mentioned it takes a very very long time to receive your drink (even when there are only two customers.) read more

Outstanding coffee, some of the best if not THE BEST in Portland! Also, their homemade, gluten-free salted chocolate chip cookies are insane! I'm seriously obsessed with them in a big way, and for me, 1 is never enough! read more

Great beans at reasonable price and best owner/server who was so patient to go over all the beans with me!

We all got chai. The nice women who were working there warned us that the chai is a little spicy. Was def more seasoned than any other chai I've had. Very delicious, very worth it read more

Broken Robot Coffee - Chai - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The vibe: In town on a gig and swung by for a pick-me-up based off of reviews. It doesn't look like they do sandwiches anymore, or at least they don't have a sandwich menu available and I was too shy to ask. They do have bagels and an assortment of pastries that the barista walked me through so I could get one sweet and one savory. She seemed really kind and spoke to the customers ahead of me with a level of familiarity--following up with them about travel plans, and the customers asking her for life updates--made me wish I had a regular place to go like this where I live! The order: **Savory asiago pastry with rosemary--honestly so good. I'm more of a breakfast sandwich guy but this really hit the spot. Heated it up back at home and it instantly became a crispy, buttery delight. **Sweet croissant-esque layered pastry with brown sugar in the middle and topped with a maple glaze and cute sprinkles. I. Did not think I would love this as much as I did. It's like all the best parts of a doughnut and a croissant rolled into one and it is divine. I will say this felt very sweet to me, not cloying, but depending on the bite leaned more toward dessert than breakfast pastry for me personally! **Dirty oatmilk chai. Spicy. Milky. A taste of honey(?). Delicious. Usually when I order a chai, even when asked if I want sweet or spiced, they end up being a bit too sweet for me. This. This is a spiced chai. Didn't get to see the barista make it so not sure if it's a pre-made or house-made blend, but it's fantastic. I believe she pulled three shots for the dirty part of the latte, which is fine for me but might surprise some folks accustomed to the typical two. The ONLY downside: The only critical thing I can think of is the wait time. I had a break and wasn't in a rush to get out of there, but I imagine if I went there on a lunch break or a 15min break it might be a tad slow for me to feel comfortable. HOWEVER. It was one person running the joint, she was incredibly kind and provided the people in front of me with pastry options (and then did the same with me), and the upside is she seems really connected to her customers, which is pretty special I think. If you're looking for a quick in and out coffee experience I'm not sure this is it, but I bet you could find a Dutch Bros nearby. read more

Broken Robot Coffee - Asiago pastry and maple-covered croissant-esque pastry. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

An outstanding Yelp review brought me to Broken Robot Coffee today. They were not wrong! The lavender honey latte is delicious. In fact, I'm still sipping on it, because I don't want the experience to end. I wasn't able to show such restraint with the savory pastry that was filled with sweet potato, however. I devoured that; it was so good! I don't live in Portland, but definitely plan to return. The barista was lovely, and they steered me to a fun stationery shop (Collage) when I asked for suggestions. Oh, and the cherry on top is that Broken Robot Coffee is LGBTG+ affirming. LOVE! read more

Let's talk about Broken Robot, shall we? Absolutely addicted to their homemade chai latte (with hemp "milk"), which is so ginger-y that it will happily kick you in the throat. I say this with love, as I absolutely adore ginger and a strong taste, but the body of it is creamy and delicious, with spices and warmth. We have also had the mocha, with 3 shots, and it too is perfection in and of itself. The space is modern warm, with delightfully high ceilings in a design that just....works. The owner clearly cares about the business, and crafts the beverages with care. Treats await from a bakery with simple bagels, muffins, cookies and nummies. Stop by Broken Robot on SE Gladstone, it is a sweet spot and draws me back in like a damned magnet every time. read more

Fun little coffee shop. The staff was super nice, and the environment was cozy and welcoming. Not a ton of options for food but they do have pastries. All and all nothing fancy, but sometimes thats just better all around. Loved it! read more

Family owned and run coffee shop, this mother/daughter duo creates a warm And inviting atmosphere for this neighborhood cafe. They roast their own beans and have a small selection of pastries. There's indoor and outdoor seating. A great addition to Gladstone's food/drink scene! read more

Awesome coffee shop, but unfortunately no longer makes breakfast sandwiches since the pandemic.

Coffee was very good, and they have a pumper pot for drip with a free refill, which is rare these days. Lavender lemon scone was tasty. Staff was friendly and low-key, just what you need on an early weekday morning. Small space inside, but they have multiple outside tables with umbrellas, too. This is just what you want from a neighborhood coffee shop. read more

I walked right by this coffee spot...you may too so be on the look out cause this is a great place for coffee. The staff are super nice and although inside it may look not like your traditional coffee spot, they deliver. Get here fo sho read more

Broken Robot Coffee - the price of coffee and tea - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Small, cute, clean shop with nice owners. Good selection of seating indoors and outdoors for the size, and plenty of power outlets. Not too busy in the afternoon, so a good place to sit and work. Taste-wise, I got a caramel latte, and it was exactly what I was looking for! Plus got a strawberry-cheese danish which was solid and tasted fresh. The shop's owned by a family, and the coffee beans are roasted by the owner's brother, which I thought was really cool. Check this place out! read more

A lovely little family owned neighborhood spot! I've tried coffee shops all over Portland and Broken Robot has the best I've tasted - so smooth and flavorful! Bonus points for the friendly service AND bagels with vegan cream cheese. Even some free puppy treats for furry friends. read more

As others have mentioned, this is a wonderful family owned coffee shop. The prices are very reasonable, the coffee is good, and while I didn't try their pastries, they had a good mix of sweet and savory ones to pick from. We were warned about the chai being spicy and offered to change it up to our liking - we stuck with the original formula though and can confirm - spiciest chai I've ever had. It was gingery with a spicy tingle. It felt perfect for a dark rainy day like today but definitely requires some forewarning - which we got! read more

Hands down, "Best coffee in Portland." Let's argue! Good service & lovely conversation goes a long way. Next time, PASTRIES!!!

This place is real delightful. There is a ton of natural light (if it happens to be sunny). I ordered a delicious bagel and they have complimentary cucumber water. My only complaint is that the music is too good so it's hard to get work done because I just wanted to sing along! (It's not loud, so headphones work FYI). read more

I really can't say enough nice things about this shop or the two wonderful individuals who own/opperate it. They are two of the sweetest and most welcoming individuals and the coffee/espresso is amazing! I live in the neighborhood and after my first visit they both remembered my name and drink order and always have something interesting to talk about. They've offered to stock more sugar free syrups for me, even though their selection is better than most places! Even if I move, I'll be going out of my way to come to Broken Robot. Definitely stop in here, you won't be disappointed! read more

Very good and STRONG coffee. The best homemade chai in Portland. Good Pastries and the ladies behind the counter are so sweet. Definitely a great spot for coffee. Free cup of coffee when you buy a bag of very decently priced and good quality beans as well! read more

I live in the neighborhood and I'm in here often. The ladies who run this place are so nice and funny. I could go in there super cranky and leave with a good coffee and a smile on my face. I love their deal: if you buy a bag of coffee you get a house coffee for free. That's rad. read more

Thoroughly enjoy everything I've tried. Love the selections of pastries. The espresso is delicious and a perfect start for the day!

Cool spot and friendly folks, will be coming back to this spot a lot. They have bagels and butter+cream cheese, which is a dream come true. The coffee beans are a steal and the branding is rad! read more

Home to the spiciest Chai in all of Portland. Try it with oat milk and sweetened with honey. Next time I'm going to get a vegan hand pie.

I love this place. It's right down the street from my house and the owner and her daughter are really welcoming. The coffee is great and affordable -- I got a almond milk latte and a croissant for $7 and some change. The owner told me her son owns a gelato spot in St. John's and soon they'll have a gelato case in broken robot as well! So happy to have a locally owned and operated spot right down the road, give them a try! read more
