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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
I was in the area for work and wanted a place to get some emails done with good coffee, fast WiFi, and a cozy ambiance on a chilly day. This place was exactly that! I chose this coffee shop based on the other reviews, and I'm glad I did. I was worried about seating as I came here around 8:30/9AM on a weekday, but it seems like most people come in for coffee to go and I had no issue finding a table. I ordered a cappuccino based on the rave reviews over the quality of their coffee, and I'm glad I did. It's the kind of place where you don't need flavor in your coffee, it's made just right.

Best London Fog I've ever had the joy of experiencing. Simple little coffee shop with drinks and snacks and a friendly barista. The music was nice and chill the day I was in (paired with a fan that provides white noise if you're into that). I love the rocking chair with a cushion in the corner. Comfy. A few tables tucked in the back. A few seats along the window facing a park. Fast WiFi. read more

A good place for good people and great coffee. The Maple Oat Latte is VERY hot, and half-sweet is JUST right. Only downside is this Latte will cost ya, so plan to come and enjoy the atmosphere awhile. read more

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! read more

A cute little coffee shop that's located right next to PSU -- we stopped by after the farmers market for a quick pick-me-up! The staff was super sweet and they made the drinks really quickly. It's a nice spot which seems like a hidden find with a cute ambiance inside. I got a hot chocolate and it wasn't anything super unique (kind of tasted like Swiss Miss) but my friend really liked her drink! read more
Amazing spot! Can't believe it took me so long to come check this place out; the true definition of wasted years. Super friendly people who can make pretty lattes and delicious drip coffee. Oh, and their breakfast sandwich is the bomb! Perfectly toasted bagel with a sunnyside egg, tomato, cheese, delicious sauce and any add ons you would like. It's truly stellar. They also have a handful selection of housemade pastries. The maple, apple, and ginger scone that we tried was great. This place is really quality over quantity with it comes to their items. Lovely seating areas outside their shop. This might just became my regular spot! read more
Here in Portland for the week and I found the cutest cafe. I've been stopping by everyday for their soy matcha latte. Also, I think they've been trying out a new baker - there's been a $2 sample sale on the pastries. I've tried their butter croissant and banana bread. Both are great! You also know that a place is dog friendly. They have a bowl of dog treats at the register. Everyone's been really friendly! read more
I thought the shop was really cute. Reminds Me of my favorite korean coffee shop back home. The decor is simple yet cute. The lady taking our order was really nice and cute. The person (man) who made our drinks was also very nice. He made perfect foam! It was velvety smooth. We ordered a vanilla and caramel latte. Both were really good, not too sweet which I love and espresso was well balanced. Will definitely come back before we leave Portland:) read more
my friends and i stopped here while strolling through the parks nearby. if you're looking for cozy and intimate, this is it! the menu is pretty standard, but with some asian-inspired/fun flavored drinks (red date latte, rose honey latte, pistachio latte). i tried the rose honey latte with oat milk, and it had a good combination of both flavors and wasn't too too sweet. their coffee is definitely strong and definitely gave me the energy to get me through the day. read more

Nice cozy coffee shop. Staffs were professional and nice. Patrick was good. Coffee seem a bit lighter than I expected and the taste was ok. read more
Cute little place with friendly staff, free wifi, spaces to work, and solid drinks. I came here after visiting the Portland Art Museum. I needed some caffeine and a place to grade for a bit. They have three small tables inside spaced out for working or dining in. (see my picture) The staff were really nice to me and everyone who came in. This really sets the tone for a space. They were welcoming and shared the space with all. Also, as of early Nov. 2021, they are taking customer's reusable cups, so bring your own to save the trash. I ordered a Rose Honey Latte with oat milk. There was no one else when I first came in so it came out fast and hot. It was sweeter than I typically like my drinks but that is my own fault for ordering something I've never had before. x_x They have a couple of gluten-ful snacks in a small case that looked good. Their wifi is strong and free. Ask the staff for the password. I was able to grade online without any issues in speed. They also have a single-use bathroom with a code. Next time: I'll try the HK Milk Tea (tea with hot milk). read more

Lovely coffee place, quant and small with nice rich coffee. Is there a better coffee place like never- yes. This is still in the same league and worth stopping by! Support local ! read more
On the way to the to the Portland Farmer's Market, I spotted a small, unassuming coffee place. They make a mighty good latte! The coffee is strong & bold, I loved the syrup they used. The staff is friendly, quick & did nice art on my latte! If I lived in Portland, I would be there every day! read more

Very cozy coffee shop. They have interesting specialty drinks but I think they change them frequently because I haven't seen any beverages that other people mentioned. I tried "Rose Honey Latte" ($5.50 as of April 2022). It was good. The mix of two flavors created a very unique one! I also like the location; the coffee shop is right next to a green alley with lots of benches. Great service too! read more

I'd been wanting to visit here for awhile and was not disappointed when I finally did. The place is small but nice and has some outdoor seating. It's also right by the park blocks so there's park seating nearby. They have a variety of drink options, coffee and teas, with some seasonal selections. They also have pastries and breakfast bagel sandwiches so what's there to complain about! read more

Cute little coffee shop with a great ambience. People here are so warm and the coffee was great. I ordered a Matcha latte and it was good. It was the first time I have ever had it and I kind of liked it but not so much. I would really like to explore all the mochas and lattes here. It is really close to PSU's farmers market read more

I had a great time here! This was my 3rd stop for the work day. I started at the office where there was major noise/construction, then I tried a different coffee shop. Their wifi was trash so I ended up here. As soon as I approached the register, I asked the kind soul working "DOES YOUR WIFI WORK" yes I was exasperated and felt like I was falling behind on my work. He assured me it did so I ordered a Nutella latte and settled in. I found this cafe surprisingly quiet for its size. You'd think any little noise would carry but it stays pretty focused and quiet here. The coffee was great, the bathroom was clean, the setting was nice for working and I'd go back! read more

My husband is a regular and I have been here a few times. Nothing but good things to say about this coffee shop! I absolutely love their Iced Matcha Latte. Tastes so fresh, perfect amount of sweetener and ice. I've also tried their seasonal Iced Rose Honey Latte and one of their pigs-in-a-blanket. Both delish! This is a great small business to support. Joe is very talented at his craft and very nice! read more
