Sometimes it's hard to find a good coffee shop in the downtown area of any city.. usually you'll just have your big chains so I was happy to find Drip Drop Coffee. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a cold and rainy day in Portland so I was looking for a nice hot & tasty latte. I asked the guy at the counter which one was his favorite and trusted his judgement. I ordered the honey cinnamon latte and it was perfect! Lots of varied seating inside from tables with chairs to big overstuffed comfy chairs.
What an awesome place !!!! Love the retro vibes !!!! I ordered a drip coffee - they had a fun selection of colorful mugs and I chose pink !!! Great friendly staff !!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Portland.
Just an all-around great experience at this darling coffeehouse. The service was among the best I've ever had, very personable and professional. I love that I can get a coffee as small as 8 ounces here because sometimes that's all I want. Lovely decor and a very comfortable place. Perfect location to sit inside and watch the rain coming down .
We walked into a warm welcome with great music and relaxed vibe. The baristas were welcoming, funny, and helpful. I'm not a picky eater, but I typically find about half of a menu compelling and the other half bench-warming in my mind. At Drip Drop, all of the food items were asking for my attention. For my first visit, I decided on The Dude as did my lobster. I silently reassured the other menu items I'd return and try them too (I see you, Cuban Pete). I haven't stopped thinking about The Dude waffle sandwich since. My cardamom latte was delicious and beautiful! In some places they don't take the time for latte art in a to-go cup, but they did at Drip Drop. Is it important? Not really. Is it one of those special touches that elevates the experience? Yes, and it was appreciated! The music was one of my favorite refreshing aspects. I loved hearing classic R&B faves with a random old skool country song thrown in-- a delightful soundscape like no other coffeehouse. Finally, as a people nerd and observer of all things big and small, I loved the ease and humor between the baristas. It feels like a welcoming and supportive place to work and that kind of employee experience usually translates into exceptional products and service. Bingpot! I can't wait to return!
This was such a nice spot to drop in for coffee (pun intended!) I went with my mom while she was in town, and we were delighted to be able to enjoy a nice view of the park in such and cute spot. The coffee was great-- I got a seasonal pumpkin latte with almond milk which was very sweet (I love sweet coffee, but I know it isn't for all). My mom got a drip coffee which she said tasted good and high quality. The place itself is super cute-- great seating areas, excellent lighting, and tons of local art of the walls (available for purchase if something strikes your attention). Bathrooms were very clean. The staff were so warm and friendly, this felt like such a wonderful, cozy spot. Add to that the fact that the prices are reasonable and the seasonal menu is cool and creative-- this gets a recommend from me!
I've been seeing this place for the last three days on the bus on the way to the convention center. I had a little time before my flight this morning so decided to try it out. From the moment I walked in I felt welcome and the atmosphere was just my vibe. Relaxed a little retro and with some great yacht rock type music playing (bonus!). "The Dude" is a must if you like sweet and savory. I probably could've eaten two it was so good! And don't even get me started on the oat milk mocha - seriously one of the best I've had ever. Then when one of the team came over and said "Hey Lisa - how'd you like the dude?" It sealed the deal on what a great place this is! Highly recommend!
I recently found out about Drip Drop so I had to pay a visit. I found it to be a cute space with delicious coffee and friendly employees! It is a decent sized space with fun decor and a few sitting areas. They have a variety of pastries and snacks to choose from, plus waffle breakfast sandwiches. There is also a nice variety of coffee/not coffee drinks. I went with the zucchini muffin and the Cloud 9 to 5 latte, a coconut/vanilla combination that was so good with the cold foam and caramel drizzle. I thought all of the food looked good and it was hard to choose what to eat. That waffle sandwich is calling my name! It is so important to support local businesses and I will definitely be a repeat customer!
The baristas were so nice! I got a London fog and it hit the spot. My friends liked their drinks too. There was a lot of space to hang out and enjoy company.
Great coffee! After a long travel day we decided to stop and grab some Java. Cute little coffee shop! We had the place to ourselves and just enjoyed the coffee. It tasted as good as it looked. Great services and great vibes!
7/23/2025-First Visit, Drip Drop Coffee (NOT Drip Coffee Bar!): Still open and worth a visit! This is Drip Drop Coffee and YES, they are still open for business! Don't confuse it with Drip Coffee Bar on 1st SW Ave, which is temporarily closed. Be sure to enter the name correctly in your GPS or Google search so you don't end up at the wrong spot. What made my visit great: The crew here is amazing. Big shoutout to Makiah and Marcus for being incredibly welcoming and fun. Their good energy made my afternoon. Tip them well! Custom Drink Order (lesson learned): I got a 16oz Iced Latte with: -Oat milk ($1) -Extra 2 espresso shot ($2) -Hazelnut syrup ($1) Total: $9.75. If you're customizing your drink like I did, just know it adds up. It's more cost-effective to order directly off the drink menu. Food: The Dude Waffle - $12: I asked for it extra crunchy and it delivered. The sugar baked into the waffle gave it a nice touch. Standard sausage and scrambled eggs on the side. I personally prefer eggs with yolk, but Marcus explained they don't have an exhaust system, so scrambled works best for their setup and helps keep service fast. Atmosphere: -Great natural lighting throughout the shop. -Chill vibe with flexible seating options, ideal to stay and hang for a bit. -Located at street level corner of the newly colorful painted parking structure next to and on top of the café. -Street metered parking is also available. Tips: -Visit on Sundays before 1 PM for free street parking if you're not in the area. -Take your drink to-go and enjoy it across the street at Terry Schrunk Park on a nice day. -I plan to come back, order straight from the menu next time, and give their gelato a shot. -Fingers crossed one day they add brown sugar syrup, my favorite with quad expresso and oat milk! Restroom: -One-stall, gender-neutral restroom. -No toilet seat cover. -You need to ask for the key.
Amazing coffee! We had the hot and iced vanilla lattes. Delicious! Then we split, "The Dude" and then ordered 2 to go because they were so good! Going to enjoy part two on our hike. They were extremely kind!
The vibes are immaculate. The food is fire. Coffee is ELITE and the owner is amazing and always so kind. 1000% try The Dude breakfast sandwich, life changing.
If there is any place to get me back in Portland it'll be Drip Drop Coffee. During my travels my sister-friend was so excited to show me this place. She raves about how good their coffee is but she didn't tell me that waffle Sammy was going to change my life! I got my fav drink which is a classic lavender latte and "the dude" waffle Sammy which is a leige waffle sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheddar cheese. This was so yummy! I added a touch of the aardvark hot sauce which is also a local brand and it was everything. I love being introduced to local spots because I get to experience the authenticity of the business and meet owners who are serving up quality products. The service was amazing from start to finish. The ambiance was great and this is the perfect space for coffee meetups, studying, business needs, or just exploring a new business. I can't wait to come back! I'll just have to figure out how to sneak a dozen of the waffle Sammy's in my carryon lol. read more

Most people can appreciate a good cup of coffee. I can appreciate a good breakfast sandwich that starts the morning. I stopped in after looking for breakfast nearby & came across this location. Love the vibe of this spot. Service was good & friendly. I got "The Dude" sandwich which contains sausage, egg, cheese between two waffles and it was good. The worker stated that the waffle is a little sweet and I thought so too only reason I'd say 4/5 for the sandwich, but it was still delicious. I would highly recommend checking out this spot based on the vibes alone, but definitely for the sandwich. read more

Such a great coffee shop. Really cool vibes and cool people. We got a hot and iced noggin' da boots and a matcha. All three were amazing drinks. I hope we have a chance to swing by again before we head out of town. Go out of your way to pay drop drop a visit. I wish they had stickers. read more

Thanks for stopping in to give us a shot. Sorry we missed the spot…
Great atmosphere! Love all the vintage artwork and pieces around the shop. They had a variety of seasonal flavors on their menu but I opted for a plain latte which was good by itself. The workers were very nice. I would come back! read more
Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues -- Muddy Waters I didn't come here on my big night. I came here a bit sluggish on the morning of a conference. This was recommended by a coworker at same conference. She was right about the waffle breakfast sandwich! I had "The Dude". Very good, better than the Bruxie sandwiches down in Southern California that started the waffle sandwich trend. The orange juice was nice too, they had Mexican Coke in a bottle which I had for my caffeine fix. Not sluggish after this meal. Workers were friendly, plenty of seats to eat here instead of at hotel. Highly recommended!! read more

I enjoyed my brief experience at the Drip Drop Coffee shop. I try to visit black owned establishments whenever I travel and this one was down by my hotel in Downtown Portland. The rich aromas of coffee great you at the door and the fun, eclectic style of the space were both welcoming and entertaining. I ordered a large warm latter with oat milk and lavender syrup, which was prepared exceptionally well. The service was quick and it felt personal. I will be returning for another cup, or 20! read more

Drip Drop Coffee is the coffee shop vibe I've been looking for since moving to Portland (been here 5 months!). The place feels like a living room, smooth music, spacious with different nooks to chat, read or work. Food is delicious, definitely try the panini's. The staff is friendly, welcoming and just cool! . I'll be back as a regular for real. read more

Yeah, this place is legit. I work across the street, and this will be my go-to coffee spot. Been here twice already and the coffee is excellent - very reminiscent to what I've had in Italy or France. Staff is so friendly and helpful, not at all pretentious. Great vibes, decor and local art on the walls. There's plenty of coffee shops downtown, but these guys are doing it right. Highly recommend. read more

Drip Drop Coffee I understand is a fairly new cafe in the heart of downtown Portland. I ordered my usual cafe mocha and their signature The Dude waffle sandwich. That sando was quite tasty. The interior decor is quite modern and one wall is filled with original artwork. There are plenty of seats and tables. It's quite spacious. The staff was very friendly. One barista soon noticed the photos I posted on Yelp and thanked me. read more
