I had high expectations but Horrible coffee. Burned taste. Low quality espresso made the cappuccino taste bad

Cool coffee shop, with a modern interior vibe. Went to this coffee shop a few times at a recent visit to Portland. The coffee was pretty good, and we decided to come here as it post with a few different options around the block because they had bagels. They don't have as many bakery options as the place right across the street on the opposite corner, but their coffee is slightly superior. I would come Back here if I wanted to work in a cool coffee shop setting. read more

Downgrading from 4 stars to 3 after a three-month grace period. The coffee is still quite good (if overpriced), but the service has become intolerably slower. Also, the cold cup lids still leak all over creation! read more

Java Man Coffee - Beautiful planty vibe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm visiting from Hawaii. But I've lived in Tigard, OR (2017-2021). My husband is here for work. I'm wandering the city. So, to start my morning, I found this place on Yelp. And it's right near my hotel! Beautiful inside! Plants everywhere and it gives out a laid back feeling. I ordered a small latte, apple fritter and bagel w/cream cheese. Mmmm delish! I'm going to come back again with my husband. Mahalo (thank you) for the great service and friendly staff! read more

Love the vibe of this place and the plants bring the life to this place ! There are a variety of indoor plants and succulents both for display and sale !! The staff are very friendly and cheerful. They also offer great suggestion if you are in a mood to try something new ! The menu is pretty limited but the coffee tastes great ! A warm cup of coffee, a comfortable corner spot, beautiful plants all around, this place is a bliss!! read more

Certainly not a place I would recommend for breakfast bites. Burrito was unseasoned basic eggs and potatoes. Beignets were hollow and flavorless. Saving grace was the coffee hit the spot. Service was relatively quick but rude. I'll look elsewhere going forward. read more

We ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffee to go. Everything was delicious. Nice, clean place with quick service and friendly staff.

We came here to get some breakfast smoothies, and got our orders pretty quickly. Bf got Hawaiian, I got dazzle dazzle. Both were very fruity and delicious and refreshing. Just what we needed on a warm summer morning before we headed to the airport to fly home. read more

Java Man Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My family and I visited Portland and stayed at the heart of downtown, near Pioneer Square. My parents each ordered an English muffin and tea, while my husband ordered a bagel. I am on a dairy-free diet and wanted to order their Breakfast Wrap, but unfortunately there was cream and butter in the recipe and could not be omitted. Nonetheless, one of the employees was able to make one of their bagel sandwiches to be completely dairy-free upon my request, and I was glad that I could at least get that option. I also ordered their London Fog latte with oatmilk; I give it a 4/5. On my 2nd visit, my husband and I ordered their signature Java Latte with oatmilk. I was in love, and though my husband is not into coffee, he actually finished his drink and said he liked it. I give this drink a 5/5. Unfortunately, the city currently has a problem with its mentally ill and homeless. There were several that were hanging out right in front of Java Man; one of them actually stood right across the glass from where I was sitting to stare at me and harass me. Thankfully, he gave up and disappeared the longer we waited for him to leave. Despite that, there were a lot of people, tourists and locals alike, that visited this cafe when we were there. I hope they stay in business at that location, unlike some of the other shuttered businesses around the city that couldn't make it through the pandemic. read more

Java Man Coffee - Beignet & Vietnamese iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Delicious fresh coffee and espresso drinks. A perfect spot in downtown Portland to people watch and enjoy a latte or cappuccino.

Visiting from upstate NY for my partners business trip. Stayed down the way at the benson, and this was our go to coffee for the the three weeks we were there. Everyone was so kind, and the barista with all the coraline jewelry was so sweet. Really nice inside seating, and I love all the plants. Will be back :) read more

First bad review I have ever written. The mocha tastes like powdered milk and chalky chocolate. Then when I returned I received a medium roast coffee that tasted like black water. I think at some point the owner had a dream of bringing great coffee to their customers but today that dream was not realized. I am on vacation, a time where everything tastes great but this coffee was disappointing. The atmosphere inside was cool and different but the owners and workers need to care more about the product they serve. In addition might want to hide the Costco tray of croissants in the back. read more

Java Man was right down the street from The Benson, where we were staying. I loved the big windows and all the plants. Of course, the coffee was tasty. I don't remember the name of the latte I had. Nonetheless, it hit the spot. read more

I originally thought this place was one of those hotel cafes since it is right next to one (and those are pretty hit or miss), but it is independent! The coffee and beignets are awesome, but it's really the plants that blew me away! There's an incredible variety of options and the prices are incredibly fair even for the rare plants. I'm pretty sure one of the owners grows the plants herself, she mentioned being hesitant to sell her pink princess pothos because she loved them so much which I completely understand. I got a white princess pothos and a pineapple plant which unfortunately lost its little pineapple on the drive home (my fault). The plants even came with the pots!! read more

Ambience and decor are 6 stars. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive. Coffee was very good! Food... Very unimpressive. The bagel was good. Filling quite tasteless. Overall a great place where to hang while having some good coffee! read more

Omg! This place is amazing. We only ordered two orders of beignets, should've ordered 12. They were so delicious. I'm glad I don't live closer to this place. Otherwise I would eat there every day. read more

Java Man Coffee - Fresh hot beignet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This establishment feels like a chain (perhaps it is, I'm visiting town). The staff are friendly. The coffee has a burnt taste, which seems to be typical of what I have found in the Pac NW. I prefer an Italian, Columbian, Argentinian, or Houston roasting technique which are all smoother and have more nuanced flavor. Coffee volumes are large -- they served me a cappuccino that was 12 oz. Asked for an 8 oz on my second visit, which the barista was happy to provide (although that option isn't stated on the menu board.) The food is nothing to write home about. I had the equivalent of an egg McMuffin that was over buttered and a bit greasy. The pastries and lunch sandwiches might be better, but I have not tried them. read more

Not great overall. Burnt, old espresso and extremely high prices. Powdered cream instead of milk. Nice staff, however.

The plants give it a nice vibe. I had a breakfast sandwich and didn't like it much. I wanted to complain and say that the breakfast sandwich was really have and greasy. But then again, it was me the chosen a sandwich with cheese, eggs, and sausage first thing in the morning. read more

This is such a nice coffee shop! It's perfect for anyone who wants to come in here and study or if you just wanna grab some coffee and eat! They serve breakfast and lunch items. The breakfast burrito was great. Awesome customer service as well. read more

I have a weird thing where coffee all pretty much tastes the same to me, so I don't really feel too qualified to comment on the coffee itself. To me I care more about the comfort and the vibe. I work on my laptop and like to get out of the apartment a few times a week, and Java Man Coffee is probably the most comfortable coffee shop I've ever been to for that. I mean, it's really crazy how nice it is there. They've got such a variety of places to sit. Couches, armchairs, ledges, different sized and shaped tables. Lots of chargers. Great wifi. Pretty awesome. It usually isn't too crowded there either. And the employees are super nice. This one guy saw that had take-out in my hand and took the initiative to tell me I could totally eat it in their coffee shop if I want. We ended up having a nice conversation about Stretch The Noodle over on 2nd and Washington. He was also telling me how other businesses like McDonalds often try to make the seating not-that-comfortable so that customers don't linger too long, but they made it a point to make it comfortable at Java Man. One complaint I have is that the close at 5pm. They're not alone with those types of hours of course though. They do have a table outside that I move over to once they close though. The wifi reaches it, so the 5pm closing time isn't that bad. read more

Nice place to relax and unwind. I was handed coffee with cream added where I would have put less of it. Close to a food truck area and all men undie store. Check it out. read more

Alright so this cute little shop downtown Portland you'll love it! Okay let start with the service! It's family owned and they work everyday to make coffee and wonderful sweet treats! I used to work around the corner from then so I have gotten to know them very well. The mom is so pleasant so happy and she loves what she does! You can tell! The young man that is their most of the time as well is the same way! Super up beat and all about work. The first time I discovered them about 3 years ago. I've been hooked ever since! They have this Fantastic Green Tea Latte! When I say its fabulous I mean it! It has such great flavors and just something different you know. I don't know about you but every once and awhile you need to steP out of that comfort zone and so happy did. So yesterday I popped into have one! I hadn't been there in over a year and a half. First thing the lady says is welcome back! Oh she remembered me! Yay! What a good feeling. So we chatted alittle about what I had been up to for the time being! Thank Miss lady for genuinely caring! I appreciate you, your family and all that you do for the coffee Scene! Keep up the 5 star work and attitude!! read more

Nice Cafe. I liked all the plants in the store. The food was meh and took too long, but the most important - COFFEE - was disgusting. The coffee was very watered down and tasted very bland. I wouldn't recommend this place for coffee. But, it's a nice little place to come to to chill and study. read more

We stayed next door and grabbed breakfast here before hitting the road. Easily walkable and had delicious breakfast sandwiches! I ordered an egg and cheese on a biscuit and the biscuit was delicious and flakey and the egg was fluffy and seasoned. We also got the beignets because they were doing 3 for $5 and they were great! It's a beautiful space full of plants and cozy seating, and plenty of room for our stroller as well. We stumbled upon it by accident and I'm glad we did! read more

Excellent coffee, don't hit up the chains. Support this family working hard from open to close on this busy corner in Portland.

I have been looking for the perfect beignet since visiting New Orleans. While visiting Portland, I walked past a sign touting fresh beignets so I decided to give them a try. The lady taking my order was so pleasant and warm and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing within the cafe. She was exciting about their beignets. When they came out in white bags just like Cafe Du Monde, but without the Cafe Du Monde stamp, of course, I was transported back to New Orleans! I couldn't even wait to get back to the hotel before opening the bag and taking a bite! In a blind taste test, I would not have known the difference between the two. I would have like more powdered sugar, but the execution was otherwise perfect! read more

Great location and atmosphere! Coffee was superb. I got a cold brew for a pick-me-up but also tried a latte which was perfect. The decor was a perfect Portland blend of woods, earth tones, plants and the service was on point. read more

A perfect home away from home!! I was working in Portland for 6 weeks and started each day at Java Man. The plants caught my eye, however the friendly staff are what kept me going back, not to mention the amazing coffee and wonderful food. I always felt like the staff was happy to see me. The plants made me feel that I was outside in a beautiful garden even though I knew I was on the corner of a very busy city. I could not have created a more beautiful, welcoming or friendly place if I tried. Will absolutely go back the next time I am in town! read more

Had a really good turkey sandwich on a croissant and a delicious honey dew bubble tea. Place is decorated with real plants making the environment feel more lively. The staff here are nice and efficient. read more

Fresh beignets nice and warm. Mocha way too sweet. Plenty of plants to look at. Nothing special in the hospitality department although they did bring the beignets to the table. I feel like I'm at a clinic - not cozy at all, but, clean! read more
