I had an hour to kill before meeting a friend for lunch at a nearby restaurant. I looked to see if there were any coffee shops nearby, Exquisite Creatures was a 3 minute walk away! I knew I had been here once before, and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't remember the details. It was a Yelp elite event. It's all coming back to me so clearly! I had a savory hand pie on that particular visit and an almond cake. Anyways since I was meeting a friend for lunch, decided to get a salted caramel vanilla latte, I sat in a cozy spot to read for a while. I got a couple donuts to go for a late afternoon snack. Everything was tasty, friendly folks taking and making orders! read more

Exquisite Creatures Coffee - Exquisite Creatures Coffee: Salted caramel vanilla latte and donuts to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'd never been here before and wanted to try a new place. There's a lot of positives here. It's a smaller establishment. They have maybe 6 tables to sit at, mostly two seaters. But the space doesn't feel crowded. It is decorated really fun with blurry signs. The person who helped us was so friendly. Nice small talk while we were deciding and hyping up the goodies in their pastry case that looked so amazing! We ordered a salted caramel popcorn latte. It was good. I was able to taste the popcorn flavor subtly but sweetness came through, just not as caramel. They had other flavors (peanut butter cup for example) that I'd love to try, so I will be back. read more

Had a good iced matcha with almond milk here. Super nice staff! This is my second time here (the first a year ago) and was happy to return. Remember they have vegan items so you won't be getting any cow milk options! :P read more

Stumbled upon this beautiful tiny plant based coffee shop and I'm grateful I did! Tried the iced caramel popcorn latte and the blackberry lime scones. This is very likely the best iced latte I've ever tasted and I drink a LOT of coffee. Parking is paid and street parking, so just be aware but its worth it. The Barista was so kind and answered all my questions. Definitely a wonderful way to start my day of vintage shopping in the Hawthorne area. read more

Just an update for anyone like me with quirky needs--I'm enjoying another incredible mint cold brew and noticed there is no cologne/perfume on my cup or the rim of my drink. So often lately at coffee shops, the baristas are wearing some kind of fragrance that gets on my cup, and sometimes they even grab it by the lid and get that stuff near where you sip. I would add another star if I could for the genuine interactions I have with the sweet humans who work there, the fantastic coffee and bites, and this little detail that really makes a difference for a highly sensitive individual. More on the mint: I was initially a little wary about the combo, but wasn't disappointed. If you're a fan of the nostalgic Andes mint/peppermint patty mint + chocolate flavors, you'll love it. Typical latte syrups are artificial and cloying to me but this must be the organic, local Holy Kakow one. I got my husband the orange tootsie pop latte and it's a hazelnutty throwback. When they have the salted malted latte, that's another go-to for me. The mint and the salted malted are #1 and #2 on my top coffee drinks I've had in all of Portland, whether hot or iced. All of this explains why, when I was feeling super-sad this morning, I drove way across town past 20 other shops. read more

Came to exquisite creatures coffee as my first stop after arriving at the Portland airport and it was just what I needed to start my Portland weekend. Service is very quick and friendly, the menu is fun and very unique. I asked the barista what their favorite drink is and ended up ordering the popcorn latte. My husband went with a matcha latte. The presentation was beautiful, the cafe is cozy. The matcha was excellent! Unsweetened (they offered to add sweetener but he declined) and so earthy and amazing. The popcorn latte was very good but if I went back I'd try something different, maybe I just needed to stir it a little but it felt like an unflavored latte until I got to the bottom, and then the popcorn flavor and heavy salt kicked in. I'd happily return and try something else! read more

Ordered the kettle popcorn iced latte and the breakfast sando, both pretty good and would order again. Small shop with 4 - 2 person tables. Hear me out, exquisite and snow bunny coffee need to do a collab, with exquisite's coffee and snow bunny's frothy foam, now that would be 10/10. read more

Did someone say Popcorn latte ? I would have never known that I would love novelty flavors but off late I am realizing that I am into gimmicks more than I would like to believe . So I came in one day and chanced upon the popcorn latte and liked it so much that next time I brought my family in while they visited. The touch of salt and slight umami is what grows on you slowly and coffee and Popcorn just seem like a match made in heaven . My Family might or might not have liked it as much as I did but I can certainly say they were intrigued. We tried the Caramel and Theater popcorn lattes and also the Pistachio Meadow. They don't have a lot in terms of pastries and I have noticed that on both my visits that the options are limited. Seating is extremely limited and also not very convenient. Service is good and the barista is friendly and so are the owners . read more

Exquisite Creature Coffee is a small, cozy hole-in-the-wall spot with incredible coffee and genuinely excellent service. The cappuccino was a 10/10--rich, perfectly balanced, and even the cup it was served in stood out with a great feel in hand. It's an ideal place to get some work done or catch up with a friend in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

It's a small little vegan coffee shop that makes a delicious caramel popcorn latte (trust me on this), along with a few breakfast options. The staff is always quite friendly and will chat with you while they're making your order. There's a few tables and chairs, but can get filled quickly. The downside is that out of the four times that I've ventured here, something has been missing two times. The first was lack of cheese on my vegan egg sandwich, the second was no flavoring in my caramel popcorn latte, it was just steamed oat milk and coffee. Another thing is they don't sell anything hot larger than a 12oz. Some days I want to indulge with a 16 or 20oz, especially on dreary days. It's worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Spent a weekend visiting Portland from LA and this was my favorite coffee shop out of the 6 I tried. The staff was super friendly and doing everything alone. Rockstar! We ordered 2 cardamon cold brews and 2 pistachio lattes. They were So good! Had some cute foam art on top. I really loved the flavor of my cold brew, I would come back here in a heart beat. A smaller space so definitely cute for a grab and go situation. read more

The cinnamon roll was almost like a hybrid with a cupcake and the icing was perfectly sweet and satisfying. My hot Chai Latte was a little cold, I'm assuming maybe because the dairy-free milk was refrigerated, but it was pretty tasty. While maybe not the world's best latte, I love a vegan business and the vibes in here were immaculate. All the customers were very chill and both employees made my morning special with their good energy and fun personalities! read more

Delicious drink, food and great service. I went with the pistachio meadow matcha and it was really good - you can get it with espresso too. Loved the flavor combo. Got it iced on the employee recommendation and it was spot on. I also got the classic egg sandwich with both Sriracha and miso aioli and was very good. Parking is a little tough, but it was a beautiful fall day so it was worth a walk! It's a smaller cafe and tables were occupied; cute decor and lives up to its name! read more

This is a cute and cozy location with limited seating best for parties of two. I truly enjoyed my visit and the customer service is top-tier. Excellent choice and in drinks and they do have decaf. They have a regular menu and a seasonal menu when it comes to their drinks. Some food options as well. The service was quick and efficient. There is no dedicated parking to this area. It is street parking only. I really enjoyed my experience here and the only reason I'm giving it four stars is for the limited seating area. I can't wait to come back and try more of their products. Cheers! read more

I've been here about 3 times, and have tried both the matcha & coffee. the space is warm & cozy, with a side of exposed brick wall, currently decorated for halloween, and a lovely dried flower arrangement paired with cement blocks in the corner of the seating area (3 parties). There's also an additional seating space that I think can house 2-3 more parties. Most of their latte drinks I believe can be made with either matcha or coffee. I had the popcorn latte (available in theatre, kettle, or caramel flavor) and while the flavor was delicious, was too sweet for my personal palate so I could only drink so much of it. This time I opted for the pistachio meadow matcha latte (pistachio & lavender syrup with pistachio dusting on top) - I did ask for it iced, but since it was a chilly rainy morning I'm sure my request seemed unusual because I received a hot drink instead. The matcha latte unfortunately, like in many coffee shops here, had too much milk (or too little matcha/matcha that was not strong enough to cut through the milk) so the flavor of the matcha did not really come through, but the pistachio & lavender syrups, along with the crunchy pistachio bits, still made it a decent drink. Overall I appreciate the space, the nice staff, as well as the creative drink options. read more

Lovely hole in the wall vegan cafe, easy to walk past and miss. Inside there is a small counter to order at, and behind a raised area with four small tables so you totally can hang out and enjoy your treats here, or get them to go. I recommend enjoying your coffee here to fully enjoy the flavor and texture combinations, not to mention the foam artwork :) there's also outdoor seating for nice weather. WiFi passwords on the tables. Everything is totally free of animal products and the coffee specials rotate. I indulged in a Wintermint Mocha, Like drinking a hot thin mint cookie, and my partner got a Movie Theate Popcorn latte that smells and tastes utterly amazing - sweet and salty with crunchy buttery salty topping. Nothing I would ever think to try on my own, but it's delicious. Two options of hot breakfast sandwiches, we got the standard with just egg, a huge sausage patty, arugula, aioli and an umami miso spread. I needed to eat some feelings so indulged in two kinds of pastry - a blueberry danish and an almond croissant. Both so yummy. One barista holding down the joint when we arrived just after opening, soft spoken and extremely kind and helpful. A welcome greeting on a cold morning. read more

What a cool find! This shop is a vegan coffee shop, so no cow milk only oat milk. They don't have a lot of options but the ones they do have are interesting. Some varieties of Popcorn Lattes (kettle, caramel, etc.) and Pistachio Meadow Latte. My popcorn latte was good. They have a lot of space for laptops and studying, free wi-fi and outlets if you need it. There's a back area with more room. The owner was polite and kind, and the barista was cheerful. read more

Exquisite Creatures markets themselves as a plant-based coffee shop, but I'm fairly certain they're all vegan. You can get drinks made with oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. If you're a tea drinker, they have caffeinated and herbal teas. For food options, they have a good variety of vegan pastries made by local bakeries. Most of them are sweet, but there was one savory scone when I was there. I don't know if all of the pastries are made by Shoofly, but the one I ordered definitely was. They also serve a vegan breakfast sandwich on an english muffin. The employee who was there when I went in was super nice, and the bathrooms were clean. Street parking was easy. read more

Gorgeous coffee shop on a beautiful street. Super friendly and interesting staff. The Raspberry Rose Blossom latte I ordered was available either with espresso or matching. I chose matching. All of their interesting latte combinations seem to provide this choice, which I love. Seriously the most delicious latte I've had in a while, if not ever! The smell of real rose petals was so beautiful as I sipped my drink. Lovely experience overall. read more

When a friend mentioned they have popcorn flavored lattes, I was intrigued. Interestingly, the flavoring works. The kettle corn latte is a delicious drink that's sweet with a touch of saltiness. This coffee shop is very small with only 2-3 small tables. IMO, it's better to order the coffee to go. The coffee is pricey ($7 for a small), but overall it's worth the experience of trying unique flavored drinks. Coffee shop is plant based which I can appreciate. Hope to come back to try their other drinks. read more

My new favorite coffee shop in PDX! All vegan drinks and small bites in a quaint cafe in East Burnside. Their specialty latte selection was top tier, featuring unique and mouth-watering options that had my eyes widening even before the caffeine hit. I snagged a caramel popcorn latte with much enthusiasm, but without much expectation. Could it possibly be that good? I've had a few let downs at other shops recently but this one seemed promising. OH MY GOODNESS, it was divine. Buttery, sweet, salty and smooth, what made this latte a 10/10 was I could still taste the coffee. Overly flavored and sweet drinks from Starbucks could NEVER. You know it's good when you immediately want another and could foresee yourself drinking one everyday for the rest of your life. Coffee is basically my love language and a good latte can set the mood for my entire day. While I've been brewing at home a lot more these days, every once in a while I leave it to the pros. This time, I'm very glad I left it to the pros. And I had a very good day. Should you try the popcorn latte at Exquisite Creatures? Yes. You should. read more

Consistency is key when it comes to a coffee shop. This is not the first time we have been here, but it might be the most disappointing time. We got three pistachio Meadow lattes, iced, 16 ounce.

This experience was a 3 star, but they're typically better so 4 star average read more

Off the bat, I'm a matcha drinker and a meat eater but this is the only place where I veer off and drink coffee and look forward to a vegan breakfast sandwich. I've tried the matcha, chai, root beer float, and popcorn latte -- all delicious. The popcorn lattes are a must and come in 3 different flavors -- kettle, caramel and theatre. The one I tried was the perfect balance of savory and sweet and... could easily be the best coffee I've ever had. The owners are lovely and really care about your experience. They put a lot of thought into R&D to create one-of-a-kind seasonal offerings. This is what keeps me coming back. The shop is small yet cozy. They've really made the best use of the space with florals and local art. I appreciate their emphasis on mindfulness. Such a wonderful place to be to remind yourself to take a moment and pause, and to remind yourself that you're an exquisite creature! read more

What a COOL new cafe! Big win for the vegan community! While taking a fall walk around town, I swung by here. Super friendly staff and recently opened. They have a unique list of seasonal specials, and I tried their luscious caramel popcorn latte with a local missionary chocolate treat. Both were satisfying! Theres a handful of small tables to enjoy your drink and work from home. There was also an outlet strip nearby. I'll be telling my coffee-loving and vegan friends to come here next! read more

Adorable plant-based coffee shop with pleasant & clean lines for their interior design. The cups are beautiful, & one of the best things about a cup of coffee is a beautiful container. I'm new to plant based lattes, & I liked the texture & taste of the drink. If you want to sit & sip, there's 2 indoor seating sections with high ceilings and a cozy space. The music is pleasant, subtle. I like to sit outside check out the hills across the river. Street parking. Some is metered in front. Right around the corner, it's unmetered.

A unique little coffee shop a little East of downtown Portland. I love their concept and creative drinks. The space is small but very cozy. We tried their Popcorn Latte, which was the clear winner, and the Pistachio Meadow Latte. The Popcorn Latte worked so well, slightly salty and sweet. You could pick from Theatre, Kettle, and Caramel which I thought was very cool. The Pistachio Latte was not bad either but the pistachio flavor was weak. The lavender really took over. It's a hard flavor to get right though. Both were served in a cool ceramic wear. A great spot for some fun coffee! read more

Popped in about 30 minutes before closing for a quick caffeine pick-me-up. Staff were friendly, the interior is small but cozy and soothing, and the coffee, which is really what matters, was excellent. We ordered an espresso, a cortado, a matcha latte, and the pistachio meadows latte (one of their specialty drinks). The beans were quality, all ratios were spot on, and the oat milk was perfectly steamed and froth. I typically order a cappuccino, but the Pistachio Meadows latte was an absolute treat. Its mild nuttiness paired perfectly with the floral. Most specialty espresso drinks are heavy on the sweetness, but this was perfect as prepared and sacrificed no flavor. Would absolutely plan ahead next time to even more appreciate this gem of a cafe. read more

Very friendly staff; adorable decor & ambiance. Got a pistachio meadow latte that had a subtle hint of the lavender (grateful because too much lavender can ruin your taste buds) and the sweet nuttiness I expect from a pistachio treat. They had a decent selection of things in the pastry case despite it being close to closing time. I opted for some sort of chocolate peanut butter cookie bar. The whole place is entirely plant-based so it was unsurprising the chocolate seemed to have a flavor that makes me assume it uses coconut oil (yum). The cookie part had a nice texture & balance of salt to compliment the sweetness of the peanut butter and chocolate. It's delicious but rich- I liked that it was a huge portion so I could snack on it throughout the day. Sorry for the photo, I should have taken it before I started eating but I couldn't wait! read more
