Iced vanilla latte (12 oz)
Sandra N.

Solid vanilla latte -- not overly sweet. Perfect space for remote work or chilling. Plenty of seating and fast wifi!

Miso Caramel Sesame Latte
Tiffany P.

100% recommend this business! I first found out about Electric Coffee from instagram when I was browsing the best coffee shops in Portland. Located in an industrial neighborhood (literally in an Electrical Supply building) you will have to pay close attention to scoping out where this is. There is usually a little easel with Electrica Coffee on it. To my surprise, it is MORE than a little coffee company in an industrial building. There is also a home decor company to your right which sells some pretty cool things and a large, open shared work space area to study/work. I ordered the Miso Caramel Sesame Latte which was amazing. You can never go wrong with the salty/sweet combo. The drink itself has inspired me to use miso caramel when baking desserts.

Cool Spot, Decent Drinks, Pricey but Nice Vibes Drinks -My mom got the Chocolate Hojicha, and she really liked it. She's said it had a stronger, earthier taste kind of like matcha's bolder cousin. I went for their Saikaya Latte since they're known for it. It was good, but I wouldn't say it tasted like the "salted caramel" they described. It was more on the subtle side, definitely not a sweet latte. Solid 7/10, but nothing mind-blowing. Atmosphere & Vibes The space is super aesthetic, cozy, and they play great music. It's connected to this high-end home showroom. Parking & Location Parking wasn't too bad, which was nice. The shop is near the Willamette River, so if you're in the mood for a little walk after, the views are so pretty! Overall It's a little pricey, and while the drinks were good, I wouldn't go out of my way for them. But if you're in the area and want a cool spot to chill, it's worth checking out.

This is a cute and spacious coffee shop. The service is fast and the prices are decent, especially for the tasty seasonal lattes.

Lots of space to do your work, music was a tad loud but with headphones it's fine. Coffee was amazing we got 1. Ice Saikyo latte - so good very milk, but oaty and rich if that makes sense 2. Hot - Blake seasme latte - very good could definitely taste the black seasme 3. Hot - Cafe de olle- - super good was well. I'd rate all three drinks 10/10!

A beautifully clean, airy, and comfortable industrial space. It's modern and cozy-a great place to sit and read solo, or come chat with a friend. Service is friendly and everything feels curated with great attention to detail. Pour over menu is extensive. I had coffee (they have fun fusion lattes to explore), and will want to come back to make my way through their equally extensive tea menu. Food is limited to a few mochi sweet pastries-I wouldn't have minded a bit more selection. The stoneware elevates the drinking experience. I recommend getting your drinks "for here"; sit, and enjoy for a moment.

Cool space.

Electrica takes the craft of coffee and tea to another level. The 2 owners bring a passion and expertise to their Mexican coffee and Japanese tea program that comes through in every sip. Each item on the menu has been thoughtfully crafted and they've gone out of their way to feature a variety of coffees and teas that are truly unique. I went with a signature pour-over coffee and it was one of the best ones I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, not acidic at all, and some of the most dynamic flavors I've had in a cup of coffee. The space is industrial, stylish and chill. It's not crowded and since it's inside Schoolhouse Electric, you can peruse a bit while you're well-caffeinated. Definitely make the trip to NW Portland to experience Electrica's new approach to coffee and tea - in one of Portland's oldest buildings.

Inside

The coffee is delicious - had a soy milk cappuccino and almost wanted to order another. A friend said the same thing and loved their specialty latte. Very cute inside, and music is always appropriate volume for working. They were out of several things, like almond milk, by 11:40 on a Sunday, but what I had was so good that it didn't matter.

I needed somewhere to study today and after seeing photos of Electrica online I thought it looked like a nice spot to get some work done. I didn't realize this before I got here but it seems they specialize in green tea and matcha drinks. There was only one barista working at the time but he was super friendly. He enthusiastically explained what all the drinks were which I really appreciated. Some cons- they were out of coffee when I came lol. I thought this was a bit odd because they are a coffee shop. But that was fine I decided to get a green tea. It was good, you could tell it was high quality. But 4$ for a tiny little cup was a bit ridiculous. At the end of the day, this spot has great ambiance and I'm sure if you're into matcha this would be a good place for you. I personally wouldn't recommend though.

Hojicha Chocolate Latte
Ploy N.

Love the space! Their coffee and tea drinks are delish as well. Special shoutout to the Seikyo Latte. The savoriness and saltiness of the miso worked so well in the coffee! Their Hojicha Chocolate Latte was also decent, quite unique but I don't think it hits as much as the Seikyo. Great spot to work. Open and modern with many table and seatings.

Inviting space
Positive E.

This place has so much light in the desserts are delicious. Do not let the rice flour ingredients fool you I honestly wanted to eat two of those little donuts. this is definitely a place I would come and hang out if I was looking for something more intimate being that it's in the industrial area. It's not really lively so you're not gonna get that kind of vibe. I like that there was one employee working the register and making drinks...which were made before servicing another customer that way you didn't have a long wait.

Iced matcha latte
Lakshmi M.

Honestly love this place from the atmosphere to the drinks to the wonderful service. I've dropped by a couple of times and hope to return at least a handful more in the near future. First time I drove up, I was not prepared for the unique corner where this coffee spot is nestled. Parking nearby was a bit of a bust but I took a side street hike and just ended up walking a bit. The 2nd time a spot opened up right in front so woohoo! I walked right in and was immediately hit with how cute this spot was - the coffee bar in itself is pretty charming but the Schoolhouse Electric Co Supply items and plants and furniture are amazing as well. I usually gravitate towards the matcha latte, but the coffee is solid as well. I am dying to try the saikyo latte next time since it sounds pretty amazing. I was able to slide in during their bday drink specials so I did get my fave fave fave which is a strawberry match -- of course, given that description you know I loved it. I also love their pastry case with mochi donuts and brownies and other little baked goods. All in all, I adore this spot and hope to swing by more frequently in the future. If you're hesitant about checking it out, wait no longer and head over there!

Haven't tried the coffee but has some of the best matcha in Portland! The location is also really cool and unique.

The shop is situated in an iconic part of NW 21st; it exudes sophisticated and timeless charm. Stepping inside, you see the historical bones of the building laced with modern touches of hip decor and thoughtful design. It's a bit retro and a bit edgy all while being chic, so it's very well aligned with Portland itself. Sit on a live edge bench! Enjoy a marshmallow stick. Stare at the luxurious wallpaper. But don't let these things deter you from the epic coffee experience that awaits you. Subtly smooth, adequately bold and flavors aplenty... all served with a smile. The staff is incredibly friendly. My drink was even delivered my table by the barista! The bathroom is clean and parking is available on the street. They have all the classics and then some. There were aromas of homemade chai permeating the space as I sipped my coffee. This is an experience that can't be boiled down to 'just coffee.' It's not just another errand when you're in NW either. It's the kind of place where a random stranger next to you says aloud that 'this is the best coffee in Portland' as you walk by. And they mean it. One of my favorite coffee experiences of the year so far. It's memorable on many levels, and the atmosphere aligns so well with the vibrancy of our city. You owe it to yourself, and to maintaining the true spirit of Portland, to stop in, stay and sip a while. There's no better way to identify with Sterling than through firsthand experience. See you there soon.

A very kind security guard opened the front door for us and greeted us with a very big smile. Inside, the cafe is HUGE! it stretches out towards the back and has fun flyers and posters. Very clean and smells like coffee beans! I tried their rose gold latte and my fiancé asked for their cherry vanilla latte, both seasonal items. It was strong and tasted exactly as described. The workers here were kind and patient. Totally worth a stop for a good cup of coffee.

The line was long but we got in the coffee shop right away and maybe waited for our drinks around 15 minute after ordering. They were sold out of the wildwood mugs and it looked like they had one last bag of coffee beans for the wildwood collection. Stumptown is a bit bitter for me usually but this drink was good. It did end up being pretty sweet but since Stumptown coffee is bitter (for me), I figured it was the only way to mask the bitterness. My partner got the hot version with regular milk (both $8.25) and he had less coffee and more of the whipped topping. His cup was 75% coffee. Now let's talk, the artwork. The cinematography on the walls were great - such a great teaser to the movie and ode to Portland. I would not have came down to SW 3rd for Stumptown otherwise but happy we did.

The café itself is airy, bright, and beautifully decorated with l blue accents. It's also in a convenient location with street parking, making it an easy place to stop for coffee at most times during the day. There was only one person working, which meant the wait was a little longer than expected since a few people were ahead of us. it was clear they were working as quickly as they could, and they handled the rush well. I ordered the Black Sesame Latte, while my husband went with the Lavender Sea Salt Foam Latte. Both drinks were enjoyable, but neither completely lived up to their potential. I could taste subtle notes of black sesame, but the flavor was so restrained that it never really became the star of the drink. I was hoping for a much bolder, nuttier profile. The lavender latte fared better and floral notes came through nicely, and the sea salt foam was well executed. At $8-9 per drink, though, I expected a little more. With so many excellent specialty coffee shops in the Portland and Beaverton area, the competition is tough. They have creative ideas and unique flavor combinations, but I think the execution could be stronger to truly stand out.

The Loss of a True Neighborhood Anchor…read more For years, this coffee house was the primary reason I loved living in this neighborhood. Under its original stewardship, it provided a rare "third place"--a vital social anchor where writers, neighbors, and local faces created a true sense of home. It was a space where you could spend two hours writing in the morning, knowing the flow would be punctuated by the pleasant interruptions of catching up with familiar locals. When the new ownership took over, I eagerly supported them, hoping that inclusive community spirit would endure. Unfortunately, the culture has shifted toward a rigid, punitive customer service framework that completely lacks the ability to navigate human communication differences or de-escalate sensitive situations. A simple, polite morning request to lower the early morning music unexpectedly scaled into an antagonistic confrontation with young staff. Then, in a subsequent incident, instead of a calm intervention, during a conversation, I was publicly yelled at across a crowded room by another young employee. Their continued rude behavior pushed me past a breaking point out of sheer anxiety, and I uncharacteristically lost my temper, resorted to profanity, and walked out. While I take full ownership of my part--reacting defensively under that immense stress--the owners' ultimate solution was to permanently ban a long-term, 5-plus years loyal patron rather than engage in a mutual conversation about what caused the friction in the first place. For an establishment that projects an image of neighborhood inclusivity, the reality is a stark lack of grace. By prioritizing a punitive model over community care, the new management has hollowed out the very environment that made this place a longtime, beloved local fixture. It is deeply saddening and has been a great upset to lose such a meaningful part of my daily neighborhood routine, but those who value a truly inclusive, understanding neighborhood environment should be aware of how the culture here has fundamentally changed.
