Coava had always been on my list of coffee shops to try. I got an iced vanilla latte. It was good! As expected, but didn't blow me away. Inside was a very cute with lists of seating. Service was great. Parking was easy to get. Lots of coffee available for purchase.
Lovely neighborhood coffee shop with delicious options! We came here on a recommendation and high praise from a local and really enjoyed the vibe and our coffees. I tried a single origin espresso cortado. It was smooth and creamy! We will visit again before we leave Portland.
Staff is very friendly! The coffee was delicious and the pastry paired very well with it. I came on a Tuesday morning and was able to easily find street parking. Inside, they have several bar stools for seating, as well as an L-shaped couch. They offer free Wi-Fi and there were several people working/studying in the space.
What's up: We've had Stumptown before, so we wanted to try out a different place and see how their drinks were. Coava was a place that showed up frequently on my searches, so we added that to our list. Parking: Street parking. Environment: They have indoor and outdoor seating available. The order counter is located to the right upon entry and restrooms are to the left of the order counter. The menu is displayed on the wall behind the order counter. Whole beans and swag is also available for purchase. What was ordered: - Americano (good) - Matcha (light flavor) - Latte (good) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The staff member was friendly and the place was busy but quiet. Overall, the drinks were decent. Credit cards are accepted.
It's hard to find a great cortado, and these guys definitely make an amazing cortado! Balanced espresso, perfectly steamed milk, and beautiful latte art. Great atmosphere as well.
Cute, cozy and modern feeling coffee shop located in Hawthorne district. It was a cloudy and little rainy day when we went and the perfect time and place to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Coava was the perfect pick! They have beautiful paintings/pictures of Oregon on their walls which add to the nice aesthetic. The baristas were super nice and friendly with the customers. I enjoyed sitting there and having my cup of coffee (latte). It was very relaxing.
Pretty good coffee. I got there around 7 on a Fri and it wasn't busy. By the time I left around 11 it had filled up. A good amount of indoor space, with outlets and WiFi. Some small tables outside as well. I got the cappuccino. Well made but nothing extraordinary. Their menu is all of the classic coffee drinks. No fancy or seasonal drinks from what I could tell. Service was friendly and quick.
I came on a Thursday afternoon and it was almost empty. The interior was very nice and it's a good study/WFH spot. The baristas/cashiers were friendly and I ordered a small iced vanilla latte. It was ok. I could barely taste the coffee flavor and it was super milky. This was more like an iced milk with light hints of coffee.
I got a Dirty Chai Latte with Almond Milk ($6) and it was fine. Nice Microfoam. Only one size for Lattes (10 oz). The interior is cozy and nice and would be great for spending a while in.
Cool coffee shop: yummy coffee (breve) and baked goods (handmade Marionberry pop tart from a local bakery). Staff are very friendly, professional and attentive. Large space and good for knitting and socializing. Definitely want to return with my family and friends.
Ahhh I'm so sad that this Coava location doesn't do pour overs because it's a smaller cafe. I came here with my cousins and they don't really love coffee but glad that there is a big list of teas for them to try. The barista working was super nice and helpful when suggesting which espresso shot to try as that depends on which latte you order. HONEY LATTE (10 OZ.) After getting it with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso, it does get a bit pricy but it's good to treat yourself every so often, I guess. The initial feel sips were perfect but it does get a bit too sweet halfway through. The creaminess of the oat milk complemented the natural sweetness of honey. And the extra espresso shots definitely allowed the coffee flavors and notes to shine (initially, I got it without the extra shots and it was hard to taste much coffee). I guess if you love a strong coffee taste in your latte, I'd recommend paying a bit extra for it. Overall, good espresso! Love that there are two different beans you can choose from (fruity or chocolate). I do wish they did pour overs here though, haha.

Great coffee in a convenient location. Grabbed a latte and a drip coffee and they were equally delicious. Highly recommend. Service was exceptional! read more

A well-known coffee roaster in Portland, Coava highlights the coffee scene in PDX. With multiple locations around town, Coava features a variety of roasts layered with tones and notes and hints of all fruits/vegetable/chocolates/nuts/desserts. With every location I've been to, the baristas have all been very knowledgeable on the coffee and are always keen on providing information and details on the coffee served that day. I went with an iced americano with a splash of oatmilk. The coffee was smooth and strong. If you're looking for a solid coffee option that won't disappoint, Coava is the place. read more

Decent coffee. I was expecting more coffee bean types to be available at a coffee roaster store but I guess this store didn't have that many options the morning I came. Got an Ethiopian espresso that was pretty good. This location doesn't offer pour overs either- just drip coffee. Not sure if that was a one time thing when I visited or if it's an everyday thing. The drip I got was the LOS Naranjos and it was lightly acidic. Not very fruity. Acceptable for the morning. They have gluten free options! The gluten free date bar I got was excellent. It tasted like it was made of coconut flour, but the servers couldn't tell me for sure. It's made by a store/company called Petunias I think. It's a quiet store connected to an apartment building so a lot of people study/work here. The service is fast and friendly. read more

Met this cutie pie Natalie today who made me a delicious latte. The staff is down to earth and friendly. Nice chill ambiance, lots of seating, and a fireplace?! I'm so down! read more

Tuesday a.m. visit. I'm surprised they aren't busier at what was a relative peak type time around 8:00 a.m. Maybe Portlanders are later to the caffeine trough? Many options. Half a dozen or so pastry or sweet type options all of which looked amazing (I didn't try one). There are great light and medium roast beans on offer - quite a variety from all over the globe. The seating is comfortable and arranged for privacy while you enjoy your cup. It was warm enough. 5 stars - helpful motivated staff who seems cheerful and glad to be making delicious strong coffee. Thanks. read more

Best coffee in Portland. Sure, it's endorsed by Fred Armisen and Seinfeld, but there really is something special about Coava, like every cup of coffee should be like this one. My friend and I came here to start our day and Coava Coffee Roasters really was the best way to start it. The menu is minimal, as the coffee really speaks for itself. No fluff here, as it should be at all coffee shops. Everything is craftily made, including slow drip. I ordered just a black coffee, and I haven't such good coffee in a long time. It was velvet-like, with flavors of caramel and dark chocolate. Mesmerizing. In addition to coffee, the shop has some small savory and sweet pastries. Seating is limited, since the space is on the smaller side, but there is outdoor seating. It's not the largest location, but wherever there's Coava, I'm there. read more
Kids woke up at 6:30am so this momma needed some caffeine stat. Thankfully, Coava was only 10mins walk from our place and opened at 6am! My son and I took a nice stroll there and ordered a hot chocolate for him and vanilla latte for me. Both were delicious and the coffee was strong, though I kind of wish they had bigger sizes (I really needed the caffeine!). I understand the rationale behind not offering sizes bigger than 12oz though. The cafe was warm and inviting (with a fireplace and couch area!). My son and I had a great time there. read more
Delicious coffee. Very smooth and delightful. I'd love a cup of this coffee everyday. Beautiful and chill interior. This coffee roaster is quite popular in Portland, so definitely make this a part of your itinerary. Yelp check-in deal: Buy a bag of coffee & get a free cappuccino. Recommendation: Bag of Robinson Figueroa read more

Our first stop of the day was coffee at Coava Coffee Roasters. They have multiple locations around the city. We dropped in on a Saturday (around noon) and there was a constant line of people coming in for a drink. The vibes are very chill with a fireplace in the back. A perfect spot to get some work done. The drink menu is small with 10 options. They also had some pastries and coffee beans for sale ($14.00 US to $15.00 US). - Espresso ($3.50 US) - J said his espresso was strong and bitter. - Latte ($4.50 US) - B added soy milk ($0.50 US). She found the latte more milky flavoured than she prefers. It wasn't too thin but she wanted more coffee flavour to come through. I don't drink much coffee but I actually liked it. I see why Coava is so popular in the city. 3.5 stars. read more

Staff is really nice. I've been twice and each time they're all so down to educate you on drinks and beans. One of the best mochas I've had!!! read more
Decided to come in for a quick coffee. What I ate/drank: - Cappuccino tasting: My friend and I both ordered a cappuccino and the barista decided she'd give us a tasting by using the two different coffees they had brewing that day. Totally unexpected, but it was fun to taste how different two cappuccinos could be - Fig scone: not too bad, good with the coffee Pros: - Really cute shop - Coffee was delicious - Modern space Cons: - On the pricier side - Not much of a selection in terms of things to eat, there was a plate of things, but nothing was labeled or priced Would I come again? Probably not since I'm not a local. read more

We heard this chain serves some of the best coffee in Portland, so we had to try it. Oatmilk hazelnut latte: 0/5 the oatmilk as sour.. I've had many different types of oatmilk but I've never had a sour one... made me think it went bad or something. Would not recommend Mocha latte: 2/5 couldn't taste any of the mocha or coffee; just a brown liquid I know that Cova is a chain, so maybe the one I went to made a mistake. I may consider going to another location in the future, but for now, no. At least the service was nice. read more
We didn't get to check out as many coffeehouses as we had hoped to, but Coava was far and away the best place that we visited. Coffees were expertly crafted, extracting out the full nuanced flavors of the beans without being overly acidic. Super friendly staff and large space for relaxing are huge pluses as well. Will be back the next time we are in PDX. read more

$4 (+tip) for a tiny and ice-heavy "cold brew" that tastes like acidic hot-brewed coffee on ice. Also, whatever service and lame music. Good job on the weirdly oversized quasi-fancy decor, though? Won't be back. read more
