    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.

    Everything bagel with cream cheese

    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
    Jaime C.

    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.

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

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

    Bernstein's Bagels

    4.4(181 reviews)

    •$

    Bernstein's Bagels is more than an eatery - it's a community. We liked the food and the experience…read moreso much that we came here two days in a row for breakfast. Bernstein's is a popular spot - having arrived at the opening time we felt lucky to secure a table. Here is what we ordered: bagel and lox, garden bagel and raisin smear bagel; as well as coffee. Everything was so good that even the picky eater amongst us had no complaints. We also enjoyed conversing with other patrons at Bernstein's. Having quickly deciphered that we are visiting from out of town (probably by overhearing us talk - the tables are very close together) they immediately made us feel welcome and recommended places to visit around Portland. We usually don't talk to strangers, so being pulled into a friendly conversation was a different kind of experience for us, but the one that we enjoyed with gratitude. Overall, this a great breakfast spot!

    Bernstein's is a tough place to grade, especially if you're from the place whose bagels, cream…read morecheese, and sandwiches it's trying to emulate. I've been coming here since they were tucked away in St. John's and were the bagel provider for the Portland Art Museum's cafe, and it's produced a love-hate relationship. I love the new place on Russell Street and the coffeehouse aesthetic that fits its corner of Portland far better than an average bagel shop. I love that they've gone through the trouble of learning to prepare bagels correctly and have trained Portland to expect a chewiness to their bagel and a mild tackiness often incorrectly identified as "crisp" on the exterior. I love that they use Nossa Familia coffee--the city's closest approximation to East Coast Italian roasts--and that they attempt lox and capers, tuna salad, and pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwiches. But there's still a whole lot to hate. I hate that it makes me pay $3 for a bagel that cooked to pretzel density half the time (a common overcompensation in this market) before it's touched by so much as an ounce of cream cheese. I hate that buying in bulk scarcely dents that price to the level of competitors who have rapidly gained on the shop's quality. I hate that pork roll (loose, cheap pig renderings mashed into a sausage and sliced), a Kraft single, and an egg on their bagel goes for $15 (!). And I quite frankly hate that I regularly have to include these obnoxiously pricey bagels among the city's best for lack of better options. It encourages newcomers to set even higher per-bagel prices without the quality to back it up--making for angry, disappointed customers--and creates an unsustainable novelty for a product that thrives in everyday available volume. The one $5 bagel in town exists solely because it's using flavors and ingredients uncommon to the medium, but I'm no sure that spot on Sandy can keep up its one-bagel-at-a-time approach forever. Bernstein's has found its place, but not without making certain adjustments along the way. Its lines have given way to advance ordering and easy pickup. Its bagel, schmear, and sandwich menus have broadened as it attempts to give people more for their money. And with competitors entering the market on the East Side at $4 to $5 per plain bagel, offering that same price for a bagel with cream cheese makes them the better point of comparison on their side of the river. Bernstein's can be an above-average to really good bagel for this market, but its greatness relies heavily on just how willing you are to cross a bridge.
