    West Coast Coffee

    Great coffee. Great service. Beautiful building. Got myself an iced vanilla latte to start my day. Will probably stop by a couple more times before we leave.

    Order: Lrg Hazel Nut Latte Pros: ilI walk pass this place often but i've never actually gone in. Today I wanted to give them a try. The latte was okay. I cant quite put my finger on the issue but Ive certainly had better lattes. Its not bad though. Its clean inside and employees were nice. Cons: nothing bad

    During my visit to Portland, Java Man was by far my favorite coffee shop to visit. The baristas were the some of the friendliest we encountered. There were beautiful plants everywhere, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Around the shop were comfortable couches upon which to sit. There were also comfy stools that molded to your tush. They serve beignets on demand (woo-hoo!) and make delicious drinks. The dirty chai in particular was crazy tasty with a great balance of chai flavor. Also, the midnight mocha, which, despite the name, had a banana flavor with the mocha, was a delightful surprise. I absolutely will return here on my next Portland visit!

    Java Man is a great spot I discovered while visiting Portland -- one of the few places open early on a Memorial Day. The interior once you walk in is immediately a bunch of plants (for sale) so that's where my my eyes were drawn to (not the menu on the board, coffee bags or pastries). Java Man has this laid-back, slightly quirky vibe and again lots and lots of plants = coffee + plants? Either way, it works. Maybe it's a bit stretch but feels like a little urban forest café. :) Once my head space was able to focus on the coffees-- you have the option of ordering at kiosk or at counter. I always prefer in-person interactions so ordered with the barista! I selected the seasonal drink -- the Ube Latte -- but I must have misheard the friendly barista when they asked if liked (she meant wanted) Vietnamese... so long and behold, I got upsold and got myself strong coffee! At first, I thought this latte looks "darker" than normal. Hahaha. Normally, I love strong coffee, but I wasn't planning on something so strong today -- as I actually wanted to sleep later on that day. One sip and all forgotten, as the one was creamy and smooth, perfectly balanced with the strong coffee. Yumminess for sure. Overall, great service, consistently good coffee (and plain vanilla hot latte), and a spot that makes you want to stay a little longer. Totally recommend stopping by to support the venue.

    This place is such a vibe! As soon as you walk in, you're surrounded by plants -- it makes the whole space feel super calming and cozy. The green aesthetic is gorgeous and really adds to the chill atmosphere. I tried the Danni Special and it was pretty good! They also do little coffee art on the drinks, which I thought was super cute. Just a really nice spot overall. I'd definitely come back!

    My lovely view! Yum!

    Great service! I tried the coconut latte, it was delicious! I needed a little treat, so they make beignets fresh when you order, so of course I tried them! I am a flygirl aka stewardess aka flight attendant, so I have been in the New Orleans and had them there...these were good, but not NO good! It's like being from Mexico and eating Mexican food in Albuquerque NM. It's good, just not the same good! lol! The street views and ambiance will make you feel like You are in the middle of a 1990's sitcom. Very nice coffee shop.

    First of all the store is super cool and very inviting. We walked in felt an amazing vibe the staff was so freaking courteous and welcoming. We joked with them and asked for recommendations and bam they gave great ones and they hit the spot. We got 2 matcha's iced and hot, everything bagel with cream cheese. They all were delicious and well made. Need a cool place in downtown Portland try this spot ! They also have banh mi sandwiches also !

    Java Man was a huge part of our trip to Portland! Once we discovered this place we came back over and over again! The coffee was great, the food was great our sandwiches were so delicious I was addicted to the Ham egg and cheese croissant! The overall ambiance of the place was very chill and relaxed! Service was quick and easy and the staff here is very polite! Can't wait to come back sometime.

    We are spending our last day in Portland and walking around looking at this beautiful city! We wanted a great coffee spot with Portland flare, if that is what you are looking for this is the spot! We got a cold brew and a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was so smooth so good! The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere here is a mini tropical, Oregonian oasis in the middle of the city.

    Awesome coffee stop in Portland. Viet sandwiches avail even though we just went there for the coffee...nice and chill. Easy ordering an fast. Great first stop of the day.

    Non caffeinated teas

    My cat's name is Java so I had to give this a try. Amazing coffee and non-caffeinated tea options. I got some blueberry dessert but can't remember the name - it was delicious. Brew of the coffee is smooth and has a nice finish. Would recommend. Friendly and quick and a ton of bakery items that all looked delicious honestly.

    Java Man is a coffee shop with great food and drink options, and is a great option if you're looking for a coffee shop downtown. It's got a lot of tables to work at, plants, and a solid food and drink menu. The bagel sandwich was filling and my iced dirty oatmilk chai was delish!

    Really cute coffee shop but winded up a bit disappointed. I got the Vietnamese coffee and beignets- both were solid but nothing special. The WiFi also did not work - so after coming here to get some remote work done I was not able to stay like I had intended.

    This mom and pop coffee shop is the best part of working downtown. Penny's smile and coffee are a great way to start my day!

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.

For pastries they had cookies and scones you're better off going somewhere else lol @ the owner

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.
