Kaleido is located in a really nice area and the whole place has a very clean modern aesthetic. The orange accents and overall presentation make the shop stand out right away. Drinks looked great and the atmosphere felt bright and welcoming. Customer service was good and the drinks came out nicely presented. We tried the matcha drinks and enjoyed them refreshing, smooth, and visually appealing. Definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area and looking for a good drink in a cool environment. read more

- really loved the thai tea and coffee! it was incredibly smooth and creamy and deep in flavor - coconut matcha was great was well. wish it had more matcha flavor! - the milo drink was on the sweeter side to me but for those who have a sweet tooth, you'd enjoy! - ambiance is nice to work remote and service is quick read more

I was excited to try out this Thai coffee shop and I really wanted to try all of the Thai menu items! I ended up with the Soft Thai Tea From their new soft cream series. When it first came out, it looked like it was just whipped cream, but once I tasted it, it was so much more. I liked how it added extra creaminess to the strong Thai tea. I was really happy with that drink, but my rating is a little bit lower because of the mango drink that we had. If you are a cold brew or americano fan, then the Mango Drip is probably the one for you, but it was just way too bitter for me and the artificial mango didn't really add much. I always love seeing mango drinks on a coffee menu, but unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me. The interior is really nicely decorated and feels very much like you walked into a café in Bangkok. Despite not liking one of the drinks, I'd still recommend checking this place out because there is such a great variety on the menu that you are bound to find the one for you. read more

Came back for their bestseller Thai classic the es-yen and it was soooooo good. The vibes of the space and the service again were awesome. I love this spot when I'm in the area and will always make the effort to swing by when I'm craving a yummy coffee :) read more

Cute shop, perfect for studying as music was not too loud and it's quiet enough to focus. I go the Soft cream thai tea and my bf got the matcha latte. The soft cream definitely was creamy and less Thai flavor. Matcha was perfect. I would come back and try their other Thai style coffee instead. Service was good. read more

first time at kaleido! I've heard positive reviews before. I ordered the signature drink: es-yen w/ oatmilk, which was a thai-style iced espresso, with sweetness. I really enjoyed the latte and can't wait to try new flavors. Great place to work from too. Very clean and neat inside. Great read more

Overall: 5/5 Drink: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Just WOW! Kaleido Coffee offers a lovely workspace and they are serving up delicious drinks with unique combinations that you cannot find elsewhere in the PDX area. I've tried their mango drip coffee, coconut matcha cloudie, Thai lime tea, and the Es-Yen coffee iced- all of which have been delectable. The Thai lime tea is refreshing and offers the signature taste of Thai tea, dairy free! The Es-Yen coffee is strong and not too sweet, a perfect combination of the coffee flavor and is paired extremely well with the condensed milk. Not too much of a tea or coffee person? I would go for the coconut matcha cloud drink! The matcha foam is perfectly bitter and creamy and combines beautifully with the flavors of the coconut water they use. I highly recommend coming to Kaleido Coffee for your coffee fix! Wonderful baristas, good vibes, and good drinks. Only downside: paid street parking :) read more

This was one of the best matchas I've had. When I order matcha I order it without flavorings/syrups. This one did have a little sweetness from the coconut water but regardless the matcha was stellar. Will have to come back for my typical iced matcha latte with whole milk. The only rival to kaleido in my opinion is snow bunny. Cute cafe, roomy, great place to hang out or work. read more

Kaleido Coffee - Iced Matcha with coconut water - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Tldr interior is cute, service is kind, and hours are great especially for a coffee or matcha early on the weekends! Kaleido coffee had been on my list for LITERAL weeks before I had a chance to swing by before work on a Saturday morning. I will say I was the first human through the door at 7:05 am and it looked like some of the setup was still happening, but nothing to fret about. The timing also worked out amazingly well in terms of the street parking cause I was able to get a spot immediately out front. Drinkwise, I got 3 of the es-yen and 1 of the matcha mango latte. Can confirm the es-yen was great! Actually not too sweet with a great coffee flavor. My colleague mentioned that the match mango latte was good as well! I definitely need to keep my eyes peeled for their seasonal specials because drats I just missed their sesame matcha! Prices are fair for the quality and like I said, 7 am open on weekends? So convenient before work. All in all, a good experience and tasty treats. I will definitely have to go back to try the matcha, specialty drinks, and seasonal goods they have running through! read more

The es-yen and matcha mango were both delicious. The coconut drip was just alright and the pieces of coconut were too big to go through the straw so that was a disappointing. The mango purer was a bit thicker than what I like, but flavor was delicious. The Es-yen was good hot or iced, you can really taste the sweet, creamy condensed milk in this. The banana bread was also surprisingly good! Will be back to try that Thai coconut that I only saw when I was leaving the shop. read more

We went here on a Sunday afternoon and were immediately greeted upon arrival. The interior was pleasant and felt very open. There were also a nice variety of tables and seating available. I appreciated that the menu was clean and organized. The matcha was a bit too light and subtle, the taro did add a nice texture throughout the drink; however, the overall taste profile felt a bit too sweet for me. I wish there was a bit more of that earthy note to it. On the other hand, the black sesame latte had a strong and bold flavor profile, which overshadowed the black sesame in my opinion. I wished this had a bit more sweetness to cut through the medium/dark roast. read more

walked all the way to Kaleido coffee only to find out they didn't sell beans because there was an issue with importing them from Thailand. My girlfriend ended up trying the Matcha with coconut water.

Sooo good. The matcha was earthy and nutty without having super sweet jasmine tea in it. The toast with sugar and condensed was also a light but sweet treat read more

Kaleido Coffee is Portland's very first Thai specialty coffee shop and it is tucked away in the Northwest Portland area. Street parking will be your best bet here and there is a good amount of it around the area. Inside, they have a colorful and modern setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a unique selection of different Thai-inspired coffees, matchas, refreshers, and pastries to choose from. Wifey and I got the Thai-Style Banana Cake and the Coconut Thai Tea and both items were amazing! Overall, we really enjoyed the vibes of the shop and the authentic experience they offer. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. This is a great spot to come grab a drink, chill with some friends, and experience a unique Thai coffee shop vibe. read more

Such a good vibe for studying/chilling. Barista was very nice and the yuzu soda was very refreshing. Ample amount of seating here, as there are technically more tables on the "apartment" side. I also tried the coconut latte, and it did not disappoint. They use coconut water instead of milk, which made it all the more special. read more

KALEIDO Coffee is such a gem tucked away in Northwest Portland. They serve unique Thai-inspired drinks like mango coffee and matcha with mango -- all super delicious. My favorite was the Thai tea cold foam with coconut water, which I would definitely order again. Everything on the menu looked so appealing. My husband tried one of their signature drinks, the ES-YEN. It was perfect for his taste, though a little too bitter for me since I prefer my coffee on the sweeter side. Still, I highly recommend giving it a try for yourself and exploring their creative menu. read more

Poor customer service. Went here for the first time traveling from a different state. Ordered mango drip. It was so bitter. Asked if I can change it to a different drink. They said no so had no choice but to order and pay for a new one. Not everyone is familiar with Thai coffee concept in the US. Wish that they were considerate and would offer to change the drink. Also for the ambiance, there were a lot of flies inside the restaurant. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Such fun and delicious sounding drinks, it's so hard to choose from the menu and am already thinking about what I should try next time I'm in the area! I went with the Coconut Thai Tea Cloudie and it was so refreshing. This is a good spot for meeting friends, they have options for glass cups if you want to enjoy your drinks there, friendly staff, and they have a fun stylish interior to complement the great drinks! read more

After we got our coffees, and we were walking out , I said to my wife, this is my favorite coffee shop in PDX (the interior layout design, style, vibe and open feeling). You will see in the pic's, how open it is. This compared to others is such a difference. I guess this might be a perfect summer spot, with a nice cool breeze. Winter might be a different story. I will have to test it out. This is like those very nice modern homes with the outside brought inside, where the walls slide and the whole rooms is open to the fresh air. Ok, about the coffee. I got a ES-YEN, with oatmilk and still the sweetened condensed. It's a nice option, you can even do it full vegan. The barista said she does it the way I ordered and it's very good. She was right. It was different than I have had for Thai coffee but in a good way. Usually, even though it's so delicious, it is was too strong and really hurts my stomach, and can also be way too sweet. This was not like that. My stomach was just fine, and the sweetness was much more subtle but delicious. When I finished, I wanted more. My wife got a soda, lime and passion fruit I think. I got a taste, it was really good. Refreshing and tart. She also finished much too soon. I think the take away from this is order 4 drinks, so you can enjoy it for longer. The employees were very nice, explaining the drinks and the differences. I got to take a few pic's of drinks made for others. We will be back. I really want to check the vibe out again, and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves including the employees. read more

We stopped by Kaleido Coffee the other day and tried their thai coconut cloud, matcha coconut cloud, and pandan bread! We felt that both coconut clouds could be a little sweeter.

I was bummed when Queue closed, so I was excited to see Kaleido move into the space! The shop got a makeover with bright, vibrant colors and the same airy, breezy feel, making it an inviting spot to hang out and read or catch up with friends. I had a craving for a giant, half-caf coffee (I mostly drink decaf these days) and wanted to treat myself, so I was perplexed to learn that the largest size they offer is 12oz for hot drinks and 16oz for iced drinks. A strange limitation, but that's their choice, I suppose. Bummed, I pivoted to my backup option, a matcha latte. The biggest one I could get (hot) was only 12oz... and it was $7. I didn't even add any flavoring or alternative milks. Just matcha powder and plain milk was $7 for a 12oz drink. That's some new Portland prices! Granted, the matcha was good - I asked them to make it heavy on the matcha and they did; they even asked me whether I wanted it sweetened or unsweetened, which was very thoughtful. It was a strong and tasty drink. I wish these folks well and hope they succeed in their new spot, but it's unlikely that I'll be back given the drink size limitations and prices. read more

i absolutely loved kaleido!! the interior is bright and chic but the real star of the show is the coffee!! Our service was so nice and friendly. the ladies helped me decide what to try and i ended up trying the new soft latte. my friend got the coconut latte. and we LOVED them both! Coconut latte was balanced and refreshing, whereas the soft latte was incredibly smooth and velvety. I will be back to try more. read more

Quaint new coffee shop in Slabtown. Glad to see this coffee shop specializing in Thai coffee and would recommend getting their signature ES-YEN drink. It was a great iced drink for a warm day! I also saw that they served toasted bread with different custards that I NEED to come back to try. Especially their pandan custard. I love that they also had non coffee options like pink milk and milo. If you're in the area be sure to check them out! read more

This is such a unique and fun place- it's hard for me to not stop by every time I walk by here! It's in a great spot in slab town. There are so many interesting Thai and Vietnamese drinks and everything I've tried so far is delicious. The mango soda is so simple yet so refreshing! This place really feels like summer to me but I also enjoy it all year long. There is a small food menu- mostly sweet, not a lot of savory options. It's very colorful and comfortable to hang out in! read more

I didn't get any photos since I just popped in here randomly to get a hot drink on my cold walk. I got a hot thai tea since I was surprised and stoked to see they make Thai drinks. I went in about 3/4pm on MLK day and it was a pretty full cafe. But still a lovely ambiance. All the employees were super lovely & helpful! Will definitely keep coming back to this new cute coffee shop! read more

My first time trying Thai coffee! The menu is expansive and I was hesitant on what to order since there were so many good options.

I tried my friends orange drip and it was super unique and tasty. The spot was cute and cozy. I definitely will be back. read more

Kaleido Coffee - Es-yen and orange drip - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Clean aesthetic that's warm and inviting with different pops of color, a wide variety of drinks for coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike. It's been a curse for me to become caffeine sensitive over the years but be such a lover of coffee shops but if you're like me this shop has such a variety of non-caffeinated drinks as well. If I could drink coffee again I'd have tried the orange, mango, or coconut drip! But since I don't, I settled (but also not settled because it was yum) with the pink milk drink. Would love to come back to try the other sodas and chocolate-y drinks. Oh also a major plus is that it's dog friendly! read more

Love Kaleido! So exciting to have a Thai coffee shop in Portland. They have a very fun menu with lots of options. I tried the mango matcha and enjoyed it. So much mango! I am not sure if it's just mango or mango jelly, but tasty. I want to try the coffee next. Was hoping for more latte flavors. Praying for a pandan latte. The staff was extremely friendly. Inside is very spacious, clean, and beautiful. Great place to spend some time. read more
