    The place itself is pretty small but the muffin and cortado were good. Service was nice! There is limited seating inside. The yogurt oat muffin was nice and warm, super tasty!

    I think the other reviews covered a lot of the basics so I'll just add a little here. Courier is an excellent spot for coffee lovers. I think they really nail the espresso grind. The inside cafe is small but the intimate atmosphere and vinyl records playing are super comforting. The shop was very to the point and had some awesome postcards and stickers for sale. Staff are nice but you better know what you want!

    I loved this Coffee shop. The goal was to go to Powell City of Books but we were a bit early this morning. So we decided to find a coffee shop nearby and stumbled upon Courier Coffee. It was a small and charming place with music that slapped. I wasn't really wanting to be cracked out at that moment so I decided to take the nostalgia route. Now let me first say it wasn't really sweet but boy was it good. It definitely tasted like some really pure cocoa goodness. Man it was a great time. We just played cards and enjoyed the vibe. As we smelled the aroma of coffee wafting all around the shop, we admired all the locals coming in and getting their usuals. The people working here were so chill too. We might have to come back and make it a tradition anytime we come out to Portland.

    This is my favorite coffee spot in Portland. The first time I visited, I asked if they could explain what a cortado was. I recieved a whole breakdown, a little history, and what to expect. I ordered one, and it was one of the best cortados I've ever had. My partner loved it so much, it even inspired him to get his own espresso machine to start learning how to make cortados. Every time we come we are extremely happy and impressed with the quality of coffee delivered. Their matcha latte is delicious. Super rich and flavorful. The food is fantastic. I've tried the miso soup and salmon onigiri. Both passed my expectations. You can tell the quality of the ingredients and level of expertise that goes into everything they make. The space is very small, and seating is limited, but I've seen them bring people chairs outside when there's no space left. Very nice people.

    Quick Summary: - Indoor and outdoor seating (Not many seats inside) - Air conditioning is strong, if you sit near the table with the air conditioning, so not ideal place to eat shaved ice - Coffee is sour - Took nearly an hour to get our shaved iced order Visited in the summer of Portland, so it was the perfect time for having shaved ice. We looked around yelp, and we found this one: Courier Coffee. We chose one of the hotter days of our week in Portland, so we can enjoy the icy dessert. This cafe is located near Powell bookstore. This area has some good stores to walk around and browse, it wasn't really my ideal place to eat outside because of how hot it was outside. Inside we ordered a coffee and the shaved ice, matcha kintoki style. Inside vaguely I remember 3 tables in total. Two were on the right side, when viewed from the entrance, and the other is on the left. The left was occupied, so we chose the table on the right. This table was close to the wall, where the air conditioning was. Something to note for myself in the future, if we're planning to order shaved ice, it's best to not eat near this cooler; it is too cold. It quickly grew unbearable, os we moved to the other table where the window was. This drastically made sitting in the cafe better overall. In the case for ordering; the coffee arrived first and then the shaved ice came afterwards. We were initially expecting we were going to eat the shaved ice and balance out the cold by drinking hot coffee, but the expectations didn't match. The coffee, unfortunately, was sour. My relative thought it was one of the sourest coffees we have tried at Portland (I voted for another). The milk or cream that was added was not enough to soften up the sourness. ...generally all coffee in Portland makes my mouth want to pucker up on how sour it is. It wasn't a great coffee experience. Generally, I noticed that the ordering to food delivery time in Portland takes more time than where I am used to. I treated this gentle waiting time a different experience from home. However, for this case I would like to leave a note that the wait time for our shaved ice took much longer with even this waiver in mind. Maybe it was 45 minutes, but it felt like an hour. It was a hot day, so I was expecting shaved ice to be a popular menu item, so everyone who entered ordered one. The staff was making these in consecutive order, but all was done on one machine. By the time our order arrived, we have finished our coffee and my relative was physically shivering from the cold air conditioning. This shaved ice melts very fast so we ate as fast as we could. Moving away from the air conditioning really worked to make this a better experience. The flavor was good, and while the ice was fast on melting, we were able to eat more than half of the ice.

    Been coming here for ages, have always found friendly service, good pour-overs, the best in-house quenelles and salted chocolate chip cookies in Portland, great local art for sale hanging on the wall, and then also something... a little special. The owner always has been a bit of a Japanophile IMHO and had interests in fun foods like shave ice before it was cool (haha see what I did there?). He married an absolutely wonderful Japanese woman and their little girl is starting to get bigger every day. And what does that have to do with anything? As his family has expanded, so have his offerings of Japanese comfort foods! Look at the picture! Wow, this is SO wonderful! All the hand foods of my dreams! I highly recommend everything on the menu! Miso soup will warm you up perfectly on a chilly, rainy day and noraki and Imari will give you the carbo boost you need to keep the fires burning. And..., dango...? Oh, yes, please! Oishi!!!

    I work near by and always enjoy their latte's and assorted sushi. Everything is high quality and fresh. I love the vibe and the employees are always kind and accommodating.

    If you happen to be walking downtown, this is a fun break for the caffeine jolt. However ~ very cramped inside, a couple small, small tables outside. Ice piled high, condensed milk not saturated all the way through. Three mini mochi, not stuck into the mound and two of them easily fell off onto the ground :( A bit nerve racking trying to enjoy the treat outside while quietly watching riffraff causing a raucous passing by. Just in and out unpersonable service.

    Wow, the coffee was amazing. Got myself an Americano and it may have been one for the smoothest I've ever had. Thus a good rating. Not to the not so great... We came about 5 minutes after open. We were told they needed another 5 min. That's ok. But then it ended up taking close to 15 more minutes with groups of people starting to line up waiting with us. Then when we got in they were still not really set up. I was the first to order and my drink still took another 10 minutes. Also, we were excited to try pastries but they only had cookies ready when we got there. When we left around 10 they were just pulling out muffins. The canele we did order once we saw it pulled out they said would need to cool down to really enjoy. Personally I think they should have baked it off earlier so that customers can enjoy it right away.

    Strawberry Matcha Kakigori, Yuzu Drink, and Matcha Latte
    Mia H.

    I came here on a sunny day with a friend and it was the perfect decision to have some ice drinks and kakigori (Japanese shaved ice). I've seen this place before on social media (their shaved ice was everywhere, so I really wanted to give it a try). The inside of the shop is quite small and there's limited seating both inside and outside (only 4-5 small tables total?), so we had to wait for a bit to get seating. Their menu has quite a few interesting drinks and it is definitely heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine/culture, but that's what it super fun. My friend and I got the kakigori and two drinks. Both of the drinks were delicious, but if I had to recommend one, I would recommend their sparkling drinks. The highlight was the kakigori though. It was light, and delicious, and so nice to enjoy on a sunny day. Highly recommend.

    The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable and I felt welcomed. The most impressive thing is not their coffee but canele. I'd go there just for them. Also I tried canele at Ken's bakery not far from them and Courier Coffee's canele I liked more! The space is pretty small so it's more of grab and go type of place.

    An Uber driver highly recommended this place, and it was worth a visit. It's nearby Powell's Bookstore, so you can hit two spots in one trip. Needless to say, their coffee is so good that we bought a pound of Rwanda Rusizi to bring home.

    This place has some really good shaved ice! It's a small counter located in Courier Coffee. They also have small snacks to eat. We got the Hojicha Kokuto Kinaco shaved ice, and it was pretty good. I liked the hojicha flavor and the combo with sweet adzuki beans. It's a pleasant dessert that's not too heavy. It's definitely worth a try.

Got a latte with their Ethiopia natural beans and it was lovely, roasty and bright within being acidic.

I have probably spent a couple thousand dollars on their business. Not being able to pour my cup of coffee in a to-go cup when leaving is ridiculous and not standard practice. I found this out the hard way when I had ordered a drip coffee for here and, when leaving, the women kinda snapped at me when I kindly asked for an 8oz to-go cup. I'm on their bi weekly coffee subscription. I'm located in Portland and my bag of beans was routed from Portland to Detroit, then San Francisco then back to my home in Portland on my last order. How odd. I tried reaching out to them to figure out what's going on and there is no way of contacting their business. Their website has no contact information and I called multiple times and no one would pick up the phone. I finally found a personal gmail account linked to their business somewhere on their google business profile but no one ever responded to me. I find it to be very odd that they're running an online business, you can't contact them, and they don't have anyone attending customer service. That's very bad practice. If it weren't for how good the coffee is, PushXPull would be dead last on my preferred coffee shop. I'll update my review once these issues are addressed.

They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The modern, cool design of the space is top tier. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when grabbing a coffee in Portland. I also love their progressive approach to dairy; they default to plant based milks and there is no upcharge for them, which is a huge win for accessibility and sustainability. ​The Cons: Unfortunately, the experience was completely undercut by the quality of the pour. The oat milk curdled almost immediately. I am well aware that Stumptown uses a more naturally acidic brew, which is a science experiment waiting to happen with plant milks, and I know it is technically safe to drink. However, the separation completely ruins the mouthfeel. ​Instead of a creamy, cohesive sip, I was left with a watery base and grainy floaties. It is disappointing to be told that this is normal when specialty cafes have the tools like barista grade buffers and temperature control to prevent this. While the ethics and the aesthetic are on point, a drink that looks and feels curdled just is not an acceptable standard to serve to customers. ​Summary: Great people, great space, great pricing, but the technical execution of the plant based drinks needs a serious overhaul.
