I saw that there was a coffee roaster called Capitol Press Coffee near where I was staying in my…read morehotel. Looking at their website, there were a couple of coffee beans that I wanted to try. So I navigated there and was a bit confused by the store location. The coffee shop is situated in a industrial business park, though I quickly figured out that they had storefronts too. I found the spot and walked in. I was greeted by Carey, who introduced herself as the owner of Roasted By Mom Coffee. That's when I learned that this space had 3 independent coffee roasters who share the same equipment and store to sell to customers. And the day I went, Carey was there to serve her coffee beans. So I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and a black coffee. She didn't have any drip coffee readily available, but she went out of her way to get fresh beans she allowed me to choose to grind and brew a fresh cup for me. Wonderful customer service! I didn't have to wait long for my drinks to be finished. P2 said she enjoyed hers and I thought mine wasn't too bad. The beans I chose, Mom Goes Nutty, has hints of peanut butter, which I could taste in my cup. It was a different experience for sure. Overall, I thought I had a 5-star experience, though the coffee I tried wasn't what I would normally drink.

When we moved to Oregon I knew the area was famous for their coffee and finding this gem while we…read morewere out running errands is proof of how epic the coffee game is in the Portland area! They are coffee roasters so everything you can get at the little walk-up coffee window is brewed from their own roasts, and OMG SO GOOD! I refilled my "white girl energy" with a pumpkin spice latte that was rich and creamy and had actual pumpkin flavor on top of their smooth coffee. My partner got a mocha and absolutely loved it! We were both so impressed by our first sips that we asked about the bags of whole bean coffee they sell and the woman behind the counter came out to talk to us about each of the roasts and even gave us free tastings of the ones they had brewed. I'm not a coffee expert at all, but I do know when black coffee tastes good enough on its own that I'm not reaching for cream and sugar like I usually am. We grabbed a bag of Peru San Ignacio and Papua New Guinea, and I'm so excited to brew it at home and I will DEFINITELY be back on our next trip into the city for errands. They're a family run business and they've been here for 10 years so I know we'll be able to frequent them for years to come and I hope you do too!

Was gifted a couple bags - Haven't brewed the beans yet but I must say I'm shocked at 2 things:…read more 1. No roast date on the bag 2. No vacuum seal on the bag Further, the zip seal on the Gesha is faulty, and separated from the bag on one side, making the bag essentially useless. It smells amazing though! Once we brew some, if it tastes amazing I'll update review, but the bag situation is pretty disappointing. Edit: I was wrong on the bags not having one way valves - they're on the back of the bag. My bad on that. However, NO roast dates! I opened the DBD and there is next to no aroma at all. Beans look and smell old. I'll brew some up anyway and see, but I'm not expecting much. Will update again after brewing both beans but at this point I'm tempted to take one star off this review...

Seating is limited but if you can snag a seat inside, you can hear their music - they have a record player and my mom loved the jpop old album from the 70s/80s that they had on today. Staff is awesome and friendly. I love this spot and wish they had longer hours in the afternoon for shaved ice.

The shop is situated in an iconic part of NW 21st; it exudes sophisticated and timeless charm. Stepping inside, you see the historical bones of the building laced with modern touches of hip decor and thoughtful design. It's a bit retro and a bit edgy all while being chic, so it's very well aligned with Portland itself. Sit on a live edge bench! Enjoy a marshmallow stick. Stare at the luxurious wallpaper. But don't let these things deter you from the epic coffee experience that awaits you. Subtly smooth, adequately bold and flavors aplenty... all served with a smile. The staff is incredibly friendly. My drink was even delivered my table by the barista! The bathroom is clean and parking is available on the street. They have all the classics and then some. There were aromas of homemade chai permeating the space as I sipped my coffee. This is an experience that can't be boiled down to 'just coffee.' It's not just another errand when you're in NW either. It's the kind of place where a random stranger next to you says aloud that 'this is the best coffee in Portland' as you walk by. And they mean it. One of my favorite coffee experiences of the year so far. It's memorable on many levels, and the atmosphere aligns so well with the vibrancy of our city. You owe it to yourself, and to maintaining the true spirit of Portland, to stop in, stay and sip a while. There's no better way to identify with Sterling than through firsthand experience. See you there soon.
