6 oz. White Cappucino
Chris D.

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.

Mocha Coffee so pretty!!

Great place, great prices, wonderful staff! The Mocha Coffee was wonderful and the bagel as well! I highly recommend!

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

Cappuccino
Jamie C.

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.

We got their Black Sesame Cloud Matcha and Vanilla Cloud Earl Grey Matcha. The Black sesame cloud matcha has this strong sweet flavor with very popping black sesame flavor. Super nutty and smooth paste. Imagine ceremonial matcha combined with Oreos. It is contrasting between the 2 like at times the Black Sesame flavor was overpowering the matcha but yet it works? The Vanilla Cloud Earl Grey Matcha is your standard matcha drink but the tea flavor stands out and compliments the strong ceremonial matcha powder, with an harmonious symphony between sweetness and herbal tea profiles. Definitely order this if you want the standard "default matcha" but with a hint of Tealoft's specialty take on Matcha. As seen in the picture, the matcha is a good green, with a dense luscious cloud topping. Inside there's small amount of seatings, enough for ~6 different party and a self serve kiosk. Overall Tealoft has great services, nice PNW aesthetics and in my opinion great twist on Matcha in Oregon. Would come back 100%.

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.

Totally recommend this spot! First off, love how it's situated in a previous bus shelter. It's such a vibe, and it's also perfect for a quick grab-and-go experience. We came twice in a day and appreciated how quickly they made drinks on the spot! The workers were very efficient, kind, and checked on us. My manager and I got a variety of drinks. We got the Black Sesame Cream Latte, Ube Latte, and Ssuk Latte. The Black Sesame Cream Latte is strong. The cream was super thick and creamy, and it was a struggle to mix and sip. It wasn't too nutty, but it was still good. The Ube Latte was good! It was very creamy; the ube flavor came through, and it was delicious. I didn't add any coffee, and it was perfect. The Ssuk Latte was my absolute favorite! It was so good, earthy, and herby. The milk added a bit of sweetness. It was my first time trying it, and I'd go back just for it. Less and More Coffee is such a gem for a quick caffeine stop! Find them off SW 5th Ave. for coffee, tea, and non-caffeinated drinks. I'd definitely come back!

This location has a different menu from the lesson and more to shop so make sure you're at the right place if you're in the mood for a specific type of latte. I ended up getting the hojicha latte and the tiramisu latte. I definitely prefer the hojicha. The tiramisu while good, tasted more like a regular latte with a thick, sweet cream layer. I wasn't getting too much of a chocolate flavor to it (obviously there was a good amount of coffee flavor). Will definitely have to come back for some of their other drinks. The black sesame latte is calling my name.

When I don't know what to do with my day, or I have work to catch up on, I go to Tov and go from there. Drink-wise, I often go for a Mucho Caliente, the "Mushit," a mushroom-based chai invention, or a Rose Mocha. I've had mochas all over and none compares to the way Joe and his staff concoct the drinks at Tov. The chocolatey-ness, viscosity, mouthfeel, flavor, sippability, sweetness, always satisfy my palate, and the balance of coffee to other flavors is always to my preference. Their drinks are decadent and may take a bit longer to make than expected, and I find it is well worth the wait. I enjoy getting comfortable on Joe's very colorful red cushions, taking in the purple Egyptian vibes within and the eccentric vibrancy that is Hawthorne outside. Fun fact: Joe doesn't believe in plain old ice, and instead he freezes cubes of milk! The cubes stratify into discrete layers that are fun to crunch through, reminiscent of the layers of baklava. Very enjoyable for someone who normally avoids ice or chewing on ice.

We stopped in here after playing a round at the Wonderwood Mini Golf. It had been hot and cramped and we really needed a drink. The door was being held open by a line of people and usually that is a great sign. Being busy is awesome for the business and I am glad they are so popular. It was a weekday, probably around 11 am and there were just so many people in line. It was really cute inside but SO chaotic. There were tons of kids screaming and at times it was difficult to tell where the line really was. After about 5 minutes of the line not moving, I started to get a slight headache from the noise and we agreed we would have to go somewhere else. It was probably for the best as all the indoor and outdoor seating was full so there would have been nowhere for us to eat even if we had braved the line. I think when a business reaches this level of popularity, it's important to put systems in place to keep patrons from feeling crowded and overwhelmed and it's definitely something they might want to look into in the future.
