Quick Summary: - Coffee is slightly sour but not overbearing - Plenty of seats inside the cafe A colleague recommended me this cafe when I asked good coffee places to try in Portland. To where we were staying, this was almost a half day trip, but with public transportation rampant in this city, the trip wasn't tedious. The cafe isn't located in the main parts of Portland, but on the southeast side, more suburb. Inside the cafe is spacious with lots of booths and tables to sit. In the center of the cafe there was the counter to order. We ordered a cafe latte, a pourover, and a coffee cake. Generally, I'm not fond of the sour taste in coffee. While this one did have this flavor, it was faint than most. The mouth feel was lighter and refreshing as well. This paired nicely with the coffee cake, so overall it was a good coffee experience. read more

Very positive visit to Heart Roasters last Friday, what used to be a restaurant years ago, is now home to roasters. I had a cappuccino and it was very well presented in kind of a comfortable space, more business than pleasure with some outdoor seating, hurry then go quick. I purchased some beans from Kenya, yet to try at home. All & All ; The place is a bit cold in decor, but the coffee is hot. Really nice merch and service was knowledgeable and helpful. I will return for sure when I am in this area, this coffee house is better than most in PDX. read more

I never write reviews tbh. Only because if I ever do experience an issue, which isn't often thankfully, they always fix it the way it feels good for both the company and the customer. That said, I stopped into Heart Café after touring an apartment nearby; the space looked inviting and had a great atmosphere. People were chatting, music playing softly, sipping their coffee, and I immediately thought, "This could be my go-to spot." Unfortunately, the service didn't reflect the same warmth. When I approached the counter, the barista didn't greet me or make eye contact until I said hello first. I ordered an iced chai with pumpkin spice flavoring, light ice. After paying and tipping, the drink was handed to me within moments, completely full of ice, no lid, and overflowing. When I mentioned it was supposed to be light ice, the barista said, "That's right, light ice," then strained my drink through a cup, poured it back into my original cup, and added just a few of the same ice cubes back. What I got in return was a drink missing nea third of what I paid for. That is NOT okay. For nearly $7 for this drink (without tip). I expected better service and care for such a simple request. The café has a great vibe and potential, but consistency and customer service matter just as much as aesthetics. I deserve a refund. My visit was around 12:38pm and a gentleman with blonde somewhat longish hair helped me. Anyone who visits here, I hope your experience is not like mine and I hope this company does what's right whenever things like this come up and don't put half their energy in it. read more

Very limited options as far as versatility with coffee, which makes this coffee spot a big turn off . For an example, they don't have a blended ice machine, They only have oat milk. They don't have almond milk. They can only do very select drinks, which I guess makes it a lot simple for them... but when the coffee is not exuberantly great.. it's not something I would drive for or come back to. Coffee does have a unique taste? i dislike and like it at the same time. So overall I would give this a 5.5/10. It does look inviting , and aesthetic inside. I see potential in this place with the right investor. The guys taking the orders are very nice. read more

heart coffee is overrated garbage coffee is consistently bitter as well as sour . Consistently light roasted, which causes coffee to be acidic and sour.. Portland unfortunately seems to think it knows everything about coffee and food leading to overpriced garbage all over the city. I've been here for over 30 years and it's only gotten worse. There are much better coffee shops in Portland that will not rip your arms off for a $35 bag of coffee that's garbage at 10 oz. I'm sorry but you kinda have to be an idiot to pay 7 .50 for a double shot in what is now standard milk otherwise known as alternative. To want to throw your coffee out only after getting it people in Portland have absolutely no clue.. but this is the culture that has moved here so this will continue more about coffee shops, more greasy food more of the same read more

This is for the mail order coffee beans. They came to me very dry, very pale, and very small. Are they supposed to be like that? And the taste, while fruity, also had a strong stale taste. But, worst of all, they charge $20 on a good day for a small 16oz bag. I can't say anything about their store's ambiance, nor the service as I haven't contacted them. read more

I've been coming here for ten years and I've always been impressed. This morning, my girlfriend and I had a really bad experience at a different coffee shop. We decided to go hang out at Heart to try to make up for it. The staff (as usual) was warm and welcoming. They invited us to do a cupping where we got to try great coffee, got free stickers, and they even gave us a free bag of coffee because we liked it so much. I will always recommend Heart to my friends and family. read more

Don't believe I've had a better cup of coffee than at Heart. I got the cardamom latte and it was perfect. Coffee tastes super smooth and was not too sweet. I could drink a jug of this, but that would probs ruin my stomach. The pop tart that I got was really great as well. Loved the raspberry jam and the flaky texture of the pastry. Honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything here! Space is pretty huge with lots of seats and outdoor seating as well. Baristas were all really nice and gave me recommendations on which beans to get. Must stop if you're in Portland looking for amazing, no gimmicks coffee. read more

while heart might have not been my #1 absolute favorite roaster i visited on the great portland coffee tour of summer 2022, the folks working there were the most kind and helpful in allowing me to experience their coffee. what fun. i was intrigued by their coffee slushie (not my usual vibe at all, but when in rome, right?) when the guy in front of my ordered one with great fanfare, but i was suggested to stick to my usual (an oat milk cortado) to get a good apples-to-apples comparison. and to kick it up a notch, they offered to pull my drink as a one-and-one, a double shot split in two, one as espresso, one as cortado to let me get the full flavor. i played along, pretending i'd been given that treatment before, but in all my tasting, i've never had a shop offer that, and it was absolutely perfect and classy as hell. they also gave me a soda back, so while i had my hands full walking out the door, it was absolutely a stunning way to sip. full flavor. they even offered me a drip sip of that same roast, but i didn't want to overdo the caffeine for the day. they were super helpful in picking out a bag of beans for me to take home, and just all around really nice. thanks, guys! i'll be back!! read more

In my opinion, this is the best coffee you'll find in Portland. Typical of a third-wave roaster, Heart take time to understand the best way to roast and brew coffee. Their pastries come from Nuvrei, the best French baker in town, in my opinion. But Heart's cappuccino steals the show every time. Every barista does it so perfectly that this sets the bar for what ALL coffee should be like. read more

What a warm and inviting coffee shop mixing up great tunes and serving delicious drinks. All pre-covid of course, so make sure to check for details on shop policies. And always great to take it to go as well. First, their shop is large with tons of space. Next, the music is great and the songs eclectic. Their coffee is made with precision and care. I ordered the honey cardamom which was delightful. The stereo blend and different roasts are a must have if traveling from out of town or as a nice thank you gift to a pet sitter. read more

Sooo good!! Coffee was magic. I've been a long time fan of Heart Coffee - it's consistently delicious! I order their coffee beans online for my home brewing. So to visit their coffee shop in Portland was definitely a highlight of our trip. There was a long line, but they were hustling and getting our orders to us quickly. Drink menu was pretty standard from what you find at specialty coffee shops - which I enjoy. We got coffee, cappuccino, and a bag of coffee. Baristas were so kind and almost ethereal- if that makes sense :). A few tables scattered around for people to sit and chat. Loved the large space and a few historical pictures on the wall from their beginning days. Stop by for sure :)!!! And it's walking distance from other tasty restaurants as well. read more

Dropped by Heart Roasters for a quick coffee on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! I got my go to drink which is an iced vanilla latte and it was overall great -- the coffee flavor was deep and robust, though a taaad bit too acidic for my flavor. But otherwise, really good flavor. Service was helpful and friendly and parking the area isn't too bad. The only downside I see would be the price. I understand that quality coffee requires more time/effort but regardless this was stretching towards the high end of my personal budget for a small latte. Swing by if you're in the area for a good cup of coffee! Or pick up some beans to make your own at home~ read more

Although I think I probably should have tempered my expectations a bit, I was pretty disappointed in the two bags of single origin coffee I brewed up from Heart roasters. Inconsistent and metallic tasting is how I'd describe my two bags. Like many aficionados, I have a coffee routine; or maybe you can call it a ritual: Burr grinder, pour over, filtered water, special kettle for that good temp over 195F, etc. The good side effect of such a ritual is that I can brew a consistent cup of coffee assuming the beans are good. I'd rate the Kenya Gachuiro AA as the better of the single origin roasts on offer here; but, the real disappointment was the Ethiopia Yukro. Overall, the taste of the Ethiopia Yukro was unpleasant mostly due to a metallic aftertaste--this sometimes is the result of an underdeveloped roast or older coffee beans. Perhaps I should have expected this given the overly earthy smell beforehand. I tried different waters (even bottled water), different grind sizes, and did my usual ritual a few different mornings. Overall, given the price of single origin beans these days, I wouldn't recommend these two mediocre coffees from Heart. It could have been just my experience but metallic tasting single origin beans are no good in my view. Sadly, I had heard good things about Heart and I've stopped in on trips to PDX but they still are no challenger to my usual favorite single origin roasters like Verve. Even more of a letdown was the price of my bad experience: 26.00$ for the Ethiopia Yukro and 29.00$ for the Kenya. read more

Portland has an amazing coffee scene and Heart Roasters is one of my favorite contributors. We accidentally ran into this place on our way to brunch at Screen Door and because the wait time was about 1.5h we decided to go back and have a coffee while we waited. The place inside is very third wave with a lot of seating and natural light. The coffee they serve is roasted to perfection and the barista skills are excellent (perfectly steamed milk, latte art - the whole package). The service we had was always on point. When we were there they brought the coffee to us, so please keep this in mind when tipping your barista. They have a fairly large selection of pastries, and obviously I went for the croissant. Croissant & Latte is a match made in Heaven. When I'm back in Portland I will definitely stop by! read more

It was overpriced for the coffee bag but it was nice it came with a coffee at least. They dont charge extra if you want to put oat milk in your black coffee. That's a plus these days.

Okay but could be better. I didn't try their actual coffee drinks, I know not fair judging without trying one caffeinated drink. Had the iced matcha. It was good and I liked how they can make it unsweetened. Had a sip of the golden milk latte. Been seeing the turmeric latte craze and you know it's actually pretty good. This one was light on the spices like I barely could tell (this was good as an introduction to turmeric lattes). But it would be better warmer.... it was a temperature than I can drink right away.

I'm stupid and made a huge mistake. They, on the other hand, are so nice, kind, wonderful... All I…read morecan say now is... customer for life. I've been here quite a few times and have really enjoyed the Aribic People's latte with its strong cardamon overtones, the Chocolate Jesus and today, the Mucho Calliente, which promises a chili infusion, and cinnamon infused espresso with dark chocolate! But wait..., oh no, I forgot to ask for oat... this is probably (certainly) dairy. Argh! Sorry, I have no Viking blood and can not digest cow milk. I would rather battle the aforementioned Viking before I'd endure the results of ... dairy! So, I brought my drink up fully prepared to pay for another and everyone there, EVERYONE, in almost unison, refused to take my payment. They kindly and quickly made another and... oh... spicy indeed, but chocolatey and balanced! One of the best spicy mochas I've had anywhere ... and I am an absolute Spella snob and proud of it! Inside secret: Don't miss out on the great selection of truly authentic Egyptian foods and pastries, as well as some really nice necklaces and earrings. If you need that piece to pull your whole Nefertiti look together before going out for a Saturday of dancing and fun... this is your hidden gem!

His hospitality set the tone for the whole evening--warm, relaxed, and full of conversation between people from all over the world. One of the highlights was watching Joe prepare traditional Egyptian coffee over hot sand, a centuries-old method that slowly heats the coffee and brings out deep, rich flavors. But the real comfort of the night came in the form of Egyptian Sahlab. Imagine a thick, creamy winter drink made from warm milk, gently sweetened and flavored with vanilla and orange blossom water. Those of you who tried it know what I am talking about! It was very nice to get a beautiful taste of Egyptian culture right here on Hawthorne. Huge thanks to Joe for the incredible hospitality and for sharing these traditions with us. I hope they expand to include a full Egyptian, Mediterranean food menu.

I got the seasonal peppermint mocha drink- all the flavors were very light and not too sweet which I appreciated. I only wished that there was stronger coffee taste (my preference), as it tasted like a warm milk drink with a hint of peppermint and dash of bitterness from the coffee. I do wonder how their drinks will taste iced so I do plan on coming back! I arrived with my party of 2 just before a small line formed, and ordered my seasonal drink and a drip coffee. there were 2 baristas at the time, but after we ordered one of them left(?) and only one barista remained to take orders and make drinks. it was busy and as a barista myself I understand so I didn't mind the longer wait and understood that they forgot the drip coffee we ordered due to the small rush. Upon reminding them after the customers behind us were served, the barista was super apologetic and made the drip coffee immediately. However, the coffee was lukewarm and didn't have a strong coffee taste either (according to my friend). Overall a cute little cafe on Hawthorne, but I wouldn't drive out of my way for their coffee. I would be willing to give this place another shot if I was in the area, as their other seasonal drinks look yummy!

I think the shark art is quite fun.

They have amazing coffee (especially their espresso), this location is so cozy and enjoyable to be in, and the baristas are so nice and helpful. They also have a wide array of vegan treats, which is both rare and awesome that they have options! Unfortunately, all of the ones I have tried so far (a scone, a cookie, and a muffin) have been pretty subpar. Mostly everything is just too dry. And don't tell me good vegan treats aren't possible -- they REALLY are, and it's not too difficult either. I don't know if they make their own treats or not, but they need to rethink how they do this. For a place with so many vegan options and them clearly trying to accommodate vegans (thank you!) they should rethink their recipes or sourcing.

The two-tops are fairly snug together so it can feel like you're eavesdropping or being listened to. There's counter seating along one side which had some refreshing morning sun- when a couple seats opened up there, we moved and were very comfy. There are a couple of cozy chairs in the front window and some additional counter and lounge seating in an adjoining room. The drink quality and presentation were high quality and delicious. The cost of a 12oz latte ($7) with no special milk was higher than other cafes I've been to recently around Portland including places that create their own syrups for specialty drinks of the month. That said, I don't begrudge the cost of a masterfully hand-crafted, drinkable cup of art and that is exactly what I received. I think the cost stuck in my head because the welcome did not feel particularly warm at the register. They were having an animated conversation with the barista and I couldn't help but feel like we were inconveniencing them by saying good morning and trying to order. When we picked up our orders, the barista was warm and friendly. Overall, it's a delightful spot in an equally lovely neighborhood.
