    Amazing breakfast coffee experience in Portland Oregon!! Loved special cappuccino and pastry (caramelized assaggio danish)

    Visiting Portland and saw that this place is really popular. The place is really cute and looks like a good place to study or work from. A few seats below and more on the second floor and outside. The blueberry muffin with streusel was great but the morning bun was tough and cold. The espresso is more deep and dark and I am a fan of a lighter espresso so I wasn't a fan of the coffee.

    This is a very welcoming cafe. We stumbled upon this place after getting dropped off downtown. Got the Jasmine Matcha iced and an Earl Grey donut. Wonderful and exactly what I needed. Lots of seating and a very friendly atmosphere. Will absolutely be back next time we're in town.

    Amazing, don't miss out!!! The bourbon caramel cap is great! Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a new coffee shop to visit in Portland.

    Case Study Coffee is a nice place to have coffee and you guessed it, to study. I initially ordered the masala latte (I think that's what it was called?) and... honestly, I blanked out after the first few sips because I just didn't love it. It was too bitter for me. But before I could even fully process my disappointment, Ashley, the barista, noticed my expression right away. She was so kind about it! And reassured me that it was totally okay and encouraged me to pick something else instead. That moment of care made all the difference. I switched to their seasonal malt maple drink, had it made hot with almond milk, and wow, that was the one. Warm, cozy, subtly sweet, and absolutely perfect for cold Portland weather. It felt like comfort in a cup, the kind of drink you slowly sip while watching the rain outside.

    I was visiting Portland for the weekend and checking out different coffee shops when I came across Case Study Coffee. I'm really glad I did. The space is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to take a break while exploring the city. The coffee was delicious--smooth, well-made, and clearly high quality. It was exactly what I needed during a busy day of walking around downtown. Definitely worth stopping by if you're visiting Portland and want a great cup of coffee.

    Fantastic coffee shop with a wide variety of beverages and baked goods. Very sweet and helpful staff members. Large, well-appointed and comfortable dining area with huge windows.

    We arrived on a bustling Thursday morning around 10:00 and found many customers working away, easily focusing despite all the activity. The barista team was very efficient and focused. The chai latte smelled amazing! The flavor was delicious--just the right level of chai. The hot chocolate had a great presentation, no typical whipped cream topping. It also wasn't heavy sweet. While we visited Portland we visited many coffee shops; Case Study Coffee was definitely one of our favorites! I encourage you to come check it out.

    Look for the "old school" sign!

    Case Study -- cute name for a coffee shop. It's the standard of mill of what you would expect in the cafe -- good coffee and nice selection of pastries, so perfect for when you want a little treat with your cup of java. We ordered: - [ ] Vanilla Latte -- tastes good. - [ ] Turmeric Golden Milk - Better than I had expected, meaning not powdery but drink its way, way too sweet. I recommend asking with less honey. I do see all tables occupied and this is one of a few coffees shop in Portland with steady crowd and more folks lingering. A lot of shops on Downtown closes early including this cafe. One of my favorite little touches at Case Study is the "question of the day" they post at the counter--something fun or quirky to ponder while you wait for your coffee. They even leave out pens so you can doodle or jot down your answer on countertop. It's such a small gesture, but it makes the space feel warm, creative, and human. Just wrote "Yelp"! Good coffee, great vibes, and a reason to put your phone down for a minute and sit with a friend. Love this spot!

    Nice café with a good vibe

    it is about 90°F outside. Just stepped in to Case Study. AC is on. I feel so cool. So, I'm rolling with my favorite midday drink - cappuccino. First time at this coffee shop so I'm comparing the taste utility to a "cap" at Barista or Stumptown. it is a two shot espresso with whole milk, temperature about 150, very well balanced (acidity to sweetness with a little bitter back taste) - robust flavor with three origins - Columbia, Ethiopia and Mexico. The single cup of cappuccino is sourced from around the world and in my world makes my world today! Nice going case study. See you again.

    Jasmine matcha latte (iced)
    Caitlyn M.

    I was visiting Portland for a work trip and I came here twice for their jasmine matcha latte. I hadn't seen jasmine with matcha before at a cafe and it was so good I had to come back and get it again! I got it cold both times and it had a nice jasmine flavor which went well with the matcha. Definitely recommend if you like matcha It's a bigger cafe that has tons of seating inside which is nice.

    Polite barista, cardamom rose latte with oatmilk was a banger, clean bathroom. Pastry looked good but I did not indulge. Barista was at register and making coffee. It was out in less than 2 minutes.

    I'd give it a 3.5 I always wanted to try and so here we are! Finally got to drop by instead of seeing it on the max. Environment: It is a little loud but I'm sure some people could work there. It has an old cozy vibe feel and there were all kinds of seating. Staff: They were okay, they got my order and that was it. I said thank you to them lol. Drink: I got their latte with regular milk and such. I always get something 'normal' or 'typical' if it's my first time. The price was a little higher for the size I got (their "small"). The coffee was fragrant and strong but later on as I kept drinking the aftertaste got more sour for me. It was sour in the end so I probably wouldn't try again because of that. If you don't mind the more fruit and sour tastes, go ahead!

    Customer service needs to be spruced up a tad. Besides that, the cap was good. And the atmosphere is modern and sleek.

Totally recommend this spot! First off, love how it's situated in a previous bus shelter. It's such a vibe, and it's also perfect for a quick grab-and-go experience. We came twice in a day and appreciated how quickly they made drinks on the spot! The workers were very efficient, kind, and checked on us. My manager and I got a variety of drinks. We got the Black Sesame Cream Latte, Ube Latte, and Ssuk Latte. The Black Sesame Cream Latte is strong. The cream was super thick and creamy, and it was a struggle to mix and sip. It wasn't too nutty, but it was still good. The Ube Latte was good! It was very creamy; the ube flavor came through, and it was delicious. I didn't add any coffee, and it was perfect. The Ssuk Latte was my absolute favorite! It was so good, earthy, and herby. The milk added a bit of sweetness. It was my first time trying it, and I'd go back just for it. Less and More Coffee is such a gem for a quick caffeine stop! Find them off SW 5th Ave. for coffee, tea, and non-caffeinated drinks. I'd definitely come back!

This location has a different menu from the lesson and more to shop so make sure you're at the right place if you're in the mood for a specific type of latte. I ended up getting the hojicha latte and the tiramisu latte. I definitely prefer the hojicha. The tiramisu while good, tasted more like a regular latte with a thick, sweet cream layer. I wasn't getting too much of a chocolate flavor to it (obviously there was a good amount of coffee flavor). Will definitely have to come back for some of their other drinks. The black sesame latte is calling my name.

When I don't know what to do with my day, or I have work to catch up on, I go to Tov and go from there. Drink-wise, I often go for a Mucho Caliente, the "Mushit," a mushroom-based chai invention, or a Rose Mocha. I've had mochas all over and none compares to the way Joe and his staff concoct the drinks at Tov. The chocolatey-ness, viscosity, mouthfeel, flavor, sippability, sweetness, always satisfy my palate, and the balance of coffee to other flavors is always to my preference. Their drinks are decadent and may take a bit longer to make than expected, and I find it is well worth the wait. I enjoy getting comfortable on Joe's very colorful red cushions, taking in the purple Egyptian vibes within and the eccentric vibrancy that is Hawthorne outside. Fun fact: Joe doesn't believe in plain old ice, and instead he freezes cubes of milk! The cubes stratify into discrete layers that are fun to crunch through, reminiscent of the layers of baklava. Very enjoyable for someone who normally avoids ice or chewing on ice.

We stopped in here after playing a round at the Wonderwood Mini Golf. It had been hot and cramped and we really needed a drink. The door was being held open by a line of people and usually that is a great sign. Being busy is awesome for the business and I am glad they are so popular. It was a weekday, probably around 11 am and there were just so many people in line. It was really cute inside but SO chaotic. There were tons of kids screaming and at times it was difficult to tell where the line really was. After about 5 minutes of the line not moving, I started to get a slight headache from the noise and we agreed we would have to go somewhere else. It was probably for the best as all the indoor and outdoor seating was full so there would have been nowhere for us to eat even if we had braved the line. I think when a business reaches this level of popularity, it's important to put systems in place to keep patrons from feeling crowded and overwhelmed and it's definitely something they might want to look into in the future.
