In this town, making a good cup of coffee is a norm. The cold ice Americano was good. Very similar to Barista, much better than Starbucks. Competitive value. Decent comfortable setting. Located on Alberta, a powerful street of Portland's mighty eats, drinks and sweets. read more

My sister and I stopped by Case Study Coffee around 8:30am on a Monday. There were a few customers hanging out in the outdoor patio area, but it was generally a quiet morning with no line nor wait. It was my first time at the coffee shop, but I had a great first impression. The place was trendy with an industrial look, and it also reminded me of an old lab. Customer service was excellent. Our server/barista was cheerful and friendly, and I appreciated her patience. Admittedly I took a while to decide on what to get, but she encouraged me to take my time while she made my sister's drink in parallel. I "settled" on an 8oz almond milk latte with housemade bourbon caramel, and I ain't mad about it one bit! When I took a sip of my drink and got that first hit of milk foam, my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I exclaimed, "This sh** is MAZING!" My latte was smooth and creamy, and I absolutely loved the bourbon caramel. The bourbon flavor wasn't overpowering at all. Just sitting there taking in the beautiful aroma of the drink was satisfying enough. I will be back, and I'll be looking forward to trying the drinks with other homemade syrups. read more

Good vibes, this shop is warm and inviting! Also - love the mid-century modern touches, the bar is unlike any I've seen before! Really unique. Coffee is stellar. Seriously, a thoughtful and delicious product. read more

coffee is good and seating is not bad. but there's a lot of small flies i'm guessing from the plants and the door being open. one landed in my drink which was kind of unpleasant. probably recommend a fly trap or something to keep the flies away. read more

We stayed here and grabbed coffee while waiting for our table at the Tin Shed beside it. So glad we tried this place! The interiors are gorgeous with an industrial feel to it. I love the lighting fixtures they used. They have seating indoors - ground level and upper level and tables outside too. The staff were nice and friendly and service was prompt and our drinks were well made. All three of us loved our drinks! My brother in law got a mocha, while the hubby and I both got their americano. The mocha was really good according to my BIL while my hubby and I enjoyed their coffee. So much so that my husband went back to Case Study Coffee after our brunch to try their pour over coffee -- their Nicaraguan beans which he really liked a lot. Great place to get really good coffee and just hang out and enjoy the day. I believe they have other branches around Portland so definitely try this coffee chain. read more

A barista, name of Alex D, pulled a shot that tasted the way chocolate Hershey melts in your mouth by a fireplace in Vancouver BC while your step mom and dad scream at each other, but you aren't focussed on all that because snow curtains the window and the fire is hot and your best friend is there, Timothy, the friend only you can see, and your favorite candy melts on your tongue. Thank you Alex, I will be back to Case Study for your exquisite pull. read more

Came here after having gone to the downtown location the day before and loved the bagel I had there. The day I went they didn't have a bagel at this location but I ended up getting the Bourbon Caramel salted latte. Literally THE BEST latte I have ever had!!! Next time I'm in town I'm definitely coming back! read more

Awesome staff and even cooler interior. Who doesn't love some industrial chic equipped with a real loft! If you're like me and love taking the high ground--literally above the crowd--come grab a seat next to me. Well, I was just visiting, but I'll be back! read more

Nice and hip coffee shop. Latte was great as was their pastries. I got there before the Sunday morning rush. The place is pretty big but there isn't much space so you might not have a seat if it gets busy. Upstairs has better seating as the downstairs only has two tables which could get tight once the line starts getting long. read more

Fair coffee and food. No complaints. Staff fair also. I would go here again Easy access from NE sandy read more

Such a cute cafe, and a perfect find on Yelp. It was a beautiful sunny day out, so this was a great place to hang out and kill a few hours before going to the airport. The storefront itself is unique - it looks like a repurposed warehouse with a loft built-in for additional seating. Every spot in the house is basked in indirect sunlight which makes it great for studying or just hanging out and chatting with friends. We took advantage of the patio they created by opening up the glass garage door and sat halfway between the interior and exterior, making for a nice breezy visit. Coffee was great, and I really enjoyed my black drip coffee. Mom got a latte which she really enjoyed as well. Trying it, it was a lot sweeter (even without sugar) than the typical latte. Not sure if this was because of the milk? Or the beans? But regardless, it was delicious. Next time I visit, I'll be picking myself up a bag of beans to go! read more

We drove 30 minutes to try this place. Excellent experience, coffee is delicious! Had the Carmel bourbon latte and another latter I forgot the name but both were perfectly balance and delicious. Second best coffee I've had! Side note: we came in Saturday and it was not too busy, we were the only ones in line and the service received was kinda awkward. At first the guys were welcoming but when I wanted to customize one of the drinks on the menu, (latte instead of cappuccino) I was looked at oddly before they hesitantly said okay. I dont know what the deal was but that was my only off moment here. read more

I was immediately drawn to this place because of the awesome interior. There is a lot of open space and two stories filled with space to sit and work or study. The coffee itself was pretty strong. I got a mocha and it was okay, nothing too special. But it was very smooth and I would have loved to spend time on my laptop there. read more

A neat environment to enjoy your coffee and study! It does seem to be a re-purposed shed/ airplane hangar they share with the business next door and because of that there's no insulation and it tends to get HOT and muggy in the upstairs loft. They have 'House-made Flavors' lattes, but I went for a Mocha in a cup for there. $5 for an 8oz. did seem a bit up there, but the mocha was a delight -- frothy, smooth, but still robust. Ideal place to chill out after brunch in the Alberta Arts District. read more

Gorgeous coffee shop with a fun name- had to check it out before we left the Arts District! I went with a regular coffee for Brendan and an almond milk latte for myself. We also tried a small ham & cheese pastry, which was super tasty. The coffee was great and my latte was delightful as well! Looks like a great place to kick back with a good book, work, or study. There is a cute outdoor area as well, and plenty of tables upstairs. Would love to come back! read more

Case Study Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My all time favorite spot for coffee in Portland. The flavors of their syrups are really good and the care in how they craft each coffee is phenomenal. And, the pastries are a must get cuz they're so decant. I stoped by with a friend for an afternoon pick me up and he got the lavender latte and I got the bourbon caramel latte. The flavor of the lavender was very subtle and not overly sweet at all. The bourbon caramel was much richer in taste. You could taste the burnt sugar from the bourbon so it's not as sweet as a regular caramel. Both coffees were a dark roast so they had a bold taste. read more

1May19 @ 12:45pm Coffee/roaster on Alberta. Very cool inside with nice lighting and a roaster toward the rear of the ground floor. Nice plants. There is a second floor loft area that we did not explore. We had 8oz lattes at $4. The coffee was very good with nice foam and crema and no bitterness. read more

Ordered a hot almond milk mocha. It was good. The coffee here is good. I have two problems with this place: 1) My 8 oz coffee was around $7. I mean give me a break. That's insane. For that kind of pricing, I expect a mind-blowing caffeinated high and insane flavor notes. I didn't get that. I got run-of-the mill, pretty good coffee. Not good enough to justify that level of highway robbery. 2) The baristas were not great. I walked to the counter to order and they were both on their phones. They were talking to one another and undoubtedly scrolling through Instagram. They didn't notice me for several minutes until I cleared my throat and began ordering. They didn't greet me or anything. Just absently looked up, took my order, swiped my card, and that was it. It was bizarre. It was like they were in a trance. They weren't particularly rude, but it wasn't great customer service. They were definitely more concerned with their appearance and their phones than doing their jobs. Eh. read more

Case Study has great coffee, cool baristas and overall a really nice place to relax and hang out. Their espresso is smooth and light- not burnt like that SBUX stuff. Fun to go in and read a book, or have a nice latte with some friends! It was a beautiful early afternoon and they had their place all opened up with a nice breeze. There is even an upstairs loft for extra seating too. They make their own flavors: I went basic with the fleur noir vanilla, but they also have a bourbon caramel, and a toasted hazelnut, and a few others. Also, dog friendly! Be back soon! read more

Super cute little shop and they're pastries are Ah-mazing. Their almond marzipan danish is so good

Stopped by for an afternoon pick-me-up in preparation for a late night. Cute and quiet coffee shop located next door to Tin Shed. Staff was fantastic and very friendly. I had seen a pic of the Toasted Hazelnut Latte and had to try it. My cup was sooo full, I had to sip it on the counter so that I could carry it. haha! No tables were left downstairs, so we crossed our fingers and ventured up the stairs. Found the last open table and grabbed 3 chairs. Atmosphere was rather quiet; people were studying or working, so I was a little worried we were a bit loud with our gabbing. My latte? It was a bit sweet for me. I should have tried something else, but will definitely need to return to try more of the menu. read more

Solid cup of coffee . I just went in for a cold brew on a hot day and couldn't be happier with the flavor . The space is super cool too , just a nice area to sit and read , have a conversation, or just relax on a nice afternoon . read more

A friendly greeting early in the morning can be as good as a cup of coffee. Here, I got both. One barista was manning the shop this early weekday morning. The doors were all open letting the brisk, crispy summer morning air in with the sunlight. I order a pour over of their Ethiopia of the moment and my husband got a cappuccino. They were both very good. His drink came right out. Mine too 10 minutes. It was a nice place to sit and wait for it, but I really wanted it having eaten breakfast without coffee. There's a great area upstairs for people to work or gather. Lots of outlets and even a communal table. Once I had it, it was delicious. Very thin body but flavorful. read more

The people behind the counters are incredibly sweet here!!! I came in here after having breakfast in the Tin Shed to see if they actually served tea. They do! And they happened to have my favorite tea which was a huge bonus. They also sell it in bulk (MUCH CHEAPER than te chai tea for the SAME TEA). They were sweet to answer my questions and even replace my thermos with that specific tea. That was a treat. There is also a place upstairs to relax and use wifi to sit around to do work if you want to. I wish they kind of had couches but then I probably never would have left. Great vibe here! I can't speak for the coffee sadly because I don't drink it but for tea drinkers, definitely recommend! read more

This was a really cool coffee dive. Super cool decor on the inside and the coffee was super good. I also had some of their local chai, wow so good! Customer service was above and beyond. I really wanted a T-shirt but they didn't have my size. The barista offered to call the warehouse which was 3 blocks away to see if they had one in my size. They did and ten minutes later I had my shirt! Cheers to Case Study Coffee, a great place for a good brew and excellent customer service! read more

Grabbed an Americano Misto here with a friend while waiting for our table at the Tin Shed. IT. HIT. THE. SPOT. Which spot? That spot deep inside that warms when you taste well roasted coffee, an expertly pulled shot and dreamy milk steamed to the perfect consistency. It made for a perfect pairing as we walked down Alberta Ave (I'm a coffee lover from Alberta :P), discovering some of the best of Portland! An absolute MUST-TRY! Very dog-friendly to boot! read more

This is the closest coffee roaster to my home and my little three-year-old boy loves coming here for a steamer, it's one of the rare ones that put it in a ceramic cup for him. The barista's are always nice enough and the coffee is good enough, but like all cafés they are overpriced. It has a stark warehouse feel to it which is OK if that is what you like, I would prefer something more cozy and comfortable. read more

Case Study Coffee - Case Study Coffee machine, makes nice coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Case study is a solid choice for your morning coffee. Whether you need a quick cup on the go or you plan to stay you won't be disappointed. The inside has plenty of seating and is an inspired place to work. The coffee quality and skill of the baristas is pretty excellent. The only reason they don't get a 5 star is because I save that for the absolute best coffee shops I visit. Honestly great quality coffee, great atmosphere, and great employees. There is also plenty of free parking near by and some beautiful streets adjacent for a morning stroll with your coffee in hand. Give case study a try, you won't regret it! read more
