    12 ounce vanilla latte, hot whole milk
    Terrence M.

    Order: vanilla latte hot 12 ounce Pro: guy was very patient. Drink was really good. Nice little location. Cons: n/a

    6 oz. White Cappucino

    Lovely wee spot with nice coffee, good breakfast snacks and a cozy atmosphere. The iced chai latte was fantastic too. Spot by if you're going past!

    Pastrami breakfast sandwich and flat white

    Great service and a quiet place to work for a bit. The building is a bit run down, but the coffee was good

    Vanilla Latte

    What more could you want from a coffee shop? Atmosphere: This cozy, tiny corner spot exudes homey vibes, featuring an eclectic mix of furniture that looks like it was lovingly collected over time. The charming, mismatched decor creates a warm and inviting environment. Food & Drink: For $21.50, you can enjoy two flavored lattes--vanilla and cardamom--along with a delicious sausage breakfast sandwich. The microfoam on the lattes is absolutely beautiful, elevating the entire experience. As you enter, the delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries fills the air, alongside items that can be prepared in a toaster oven. The breakfast sandwiches are all made from scratch, ensuring they are incredibly tasty! Plus, the vanilla latte is crafted with real vanilla beans, adding an authentic touch to your drink. Kind staff. Good Wi-Fi.

    Perfect example of looks can be deceptive . we were initially disappointed when we came in because the place is small , unassuming and has that coffeeshop next door vibe . Jokes on us for being too quick to judge , because the coffee was loved by everyone in our group. We got multiple cups of the Sakura Latte, cortado and Flat white and everyone loved what they got . The Sakura Latte was light and sweet and had a distinctive lychee taste with Sakura . Tasted fantastic even though I am not a fan of the sweetened version of beverages. The space is small but there is seating good enough for a few people. The staff was kind, not too chatty or friendly but definitely very good at their job.

    Coffee tastes great! I got a Rose Latte and enjoyed it. On my scale of expensiveness, I would describe it as mid-expensive. The coffeeshop was smaller than I imagined but it was pretty empty when we arrived.

    Consider In J COFFEE a sanctuary for those with elevated coffee palates & a place where standards soar higher than your morning energy boost. Things you should know: I. PARKING You'll have to rely on good ol' street parking II. SERVICE The baristas here are the Da Vincis of coffee, juggling orders like seasoned pros. I recently threw Court a barrage of drink requests, and they managed to promptly pump out the orders--while still managing to engage in a chat that would make even your therapist envious. And guess what? For my fellow chess enthusiasts, there's a board waiting for your move between sips. III. QUALITY You want latte art? Check. Locally sourced pastries? Double check. Unique twists to your daily ritual? Just glance at their menu--seriously, the dirty chai latte just might rock your world. IV. CAPACITY Seating's tighter than your favorite skinny jeans, but fear not! The golden hour to come here is at 11 am--a sweet spot where you can order your bev without waiting in a line.

    honey rose latte, maple oat latte
    Megan C.

    drink: 3/5 service: 3.5/5 ambiance: 3/5 from the outside, In J Coffee is a hole in the wall! walking in, my immediate thoughts were: cozy, not a place to study, and a place where people in the neighborhood come for their daily coffee. In J seems to update their seasonal drinks frequently, so the sea salt cream latte and the dalgona latte are no longer available (from other photos on yelp) :(. my friend and i ordered the 12 oz Honey Rose Latte and the Maple Oat Latte hot for the latte art! we expected the honey rose latte to have the rose petals on top like the other photos here on yelp, but we did not receive any which was a bit saddening. drinks wise, we found the flavor to be just okay. the winner for us was the Maple Oat Latte, as we could taste hints of the maple syrup but not so much espresso for both of the drinks. the rose latte tasted like warm milk with a hint of rose, so we were a little disappointed with how the drinks tasted. we also noticed that there was only a 25¢ difference between 12 oz and 16 oz! but we realized that too late before ordering the smaller size. not sure if we would be back to this spot for coffee, but i would come back to check out their seasonal drinks if one were to catch my eye.

    My Almond Milk Matcha/ Daughter's Oat Milk Cap.
    Mercedes C.

    Portland, OR does unique like nowhere else. And in a cutesy space where white walls, a large mural in the back, tchotchkes and a sprawling plant rule, J is it with a chill vibe and super friendly service. Our Saturday dinner was so satisfying- all we needed were some hot beverages the next morning to start our day. Between my Almond Milk Matcha on a chilly morning, my daughter's Oat milk Cappuccino, her friend's coffee drink and my husband's decaf Iced Americano, all was well- except for that lonely pastry left as J ran out of everything else.

    The coffee was great! I had an iced white mocha with oat milk, very yummy. My partner got a hot vanilla latte with oat milk and also really loved it. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good as well but had a sauce that felt like a bit much for a morning sandwich. The vibes are alright. It's a small space but it's cozy, feels very hole in the wall. The service was friendly and fast. I think if we return we'll plan to just grab and go. Overall I would say, it's definitely worth popping in to try the coffee!

    Veggie Pattie breakfast bagel
    Bea B.

    Great coffee and bagel breakfast sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the latte that tastes like the rose Turkish delight-- Rose honey latte. So good that we had to stop by on our second PDX family trip and you know that there is no shortage of coffee shops here.

    Iced ube latte
    Nina C.

    Woke up on my first morning in Portland on a weeklong "vacation" (aka i had to wfh the first couple days) and decided to start here. It sits on a corner across from a cute green area and is in a very pretty part of town. When I got there at around 8a, I expected it to be very busy with a long line, but we beat the crowds, and had practically no wait. I brought my computer and planned to work from here, which was a great idea, as they had comfortable seating, outlets, everywhere, great lighting, and very fast Wi-Fi. I ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches, they have Megan cheese on an everything bagel, and was surprised by the first bite to taste thousand island sauce, which actually added an interesting and dynamic flavor profile I had not normally experienced with this type of breakfast sandwich. Delicious. I paired with an iced Ube latte, my first time seeing that flavor in a latte, and it really shone through, not only in the vibrant color, but in the very noticeable and present Ube flavor. It was part of a limited time summer menu. I absolutely loved it and it powered me through a good three hours of work that I got done diligently here. The staff is so sweet and friendly, as I can say about many people in Portland now. This would be my go to coffee shop for any work from home day I take again here. Loved it!! Thank you

    Dropped by In J Coffee on a somewhat rainy morning to grab a coffee and wander a bit. I of course grabbed my usual basic drink -- a vanilla latte, hot. My drink was good and service was super friendly. I was definitely eyeing other things on the menu and can see myself going back to try more items. The interior is super cute, though on the petite side. I opted to order then wait outside and just keep my ears open for them to call out my order! Parking in the area is mainly street parking and there are some benches in the area if you want to grab and go sit somewhere. Overall, pretty good coffee at a reasonable price range and friendly service. Try it out if you are in the area!

My co-worker mentioned wanting some "creole, southern cooking" so I did some more Yelp'ing of course, revealing yet another bookmark, Screen Door! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on Couch St. in the Pearl District is this gem. The outside isn't much to look at, it's straightforward and modern. The restaurant is set on the corner and is adorned with yellow touches with a decent-sized outdoor section. Once inside it feels like a nice old-school mansion set right out of the bayous of New Orleans. Lots of low yellow lighting, woods and bright tiles decorate the bar as well as the seating areas. It's one big open seating area with the bar off to the right. I loved the open concept. It was busy, but wasn't terribly loud. I also LOVED how this place loudly and proudly welcomed LGBTQ+ community with a rainbow of balloons as well as artwork! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues here whatsoever. Food: The drinks were strong, colorful and delightful. Being based on southern cooking I had to try the classing New Orleans Hurricane and Sazerac! The Hurricane was huge, delicious and of course, strong. The Sazerac was practically perfect. First up I checked out the Hush Puppies which are cornmeal fritters w/ pepper jelly. These were delicious, hot, fresh and the pepper jelly had an EXCELLENT spice to it! Next up were the Crispy Fried Oysters which are cooked then crusted with cornmeal, bacon, other seasonings and served with toast points. These were delicious and literally made me forget I was eating oysters. Next up I tried the fried chicken that came with buttermilk-battered, crispy fried boneless chicken breast & thigh w/ buttery mashed potatoes, tasso ham gravy and collard greens. Absolutely fantastic. Chicken was crispy, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also moist and left my mouth watering after each bite. Collard greens were fresh and everything I wanted them to be. I also got the chance to try the Chicken & Waffles which comes with 1, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken depending on how hungry you are, a sweet potato waffle and of course syrup while everything is dusted with powdered sugar. Fantastic. The savory and the sweet just balanced themselves so well. My co-worked also let me try his macaroni & cheese which was damn good. Baked so it had that layer of crispy cheese across the top and was so cheesy, so gooey underneath. Value: Macaroni & Cheese Side = $7.00 Don't Tell Me What to Do! (Drink) = $13.00 Original Sazerac (Drink) = $15.00 Baked Oysters = $12.00 Chicken & Waffles (3-Pieces) = $29.00 Fried Chicken Dinner = $27.00 It's not fine-dining pricing, but it's not cheap either. The food and the ambiance are absolutely worth the price point. The quality speaks for itself. In conclusion, I LOVED it here at Screen Door. It's worthy of its great rating, stellar reputation and pricing. I am excited to pay this place a visit again in the future when I make it back here.

It had a small kick but was really nice and worked really well with the dish. The potatoes were one of the best I've had and seasoned so well. The chicken & waffles were also super great but a little heavy! We really liked the sweet potato waffles as it brought a unique cozy flavor and paired well with the chicken. We were really surprised that the chicken breast was moist and fried really well. The batter wasn't heavy and 1 piece was more than enough for 2 people. Definitely come with hungry stomach ready to eat!! Portions are massive and priced reasonably for the amount of food!

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side.

The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
