Great coffee, a beautiful coffee shop, and a name that couldn't be more accurate. Keeper Coffee is definitely a keeper. The drinks and baked goods get full marks from me. Everything tasted fantastic and looked just as good as it tasted. My cappuccino alone was enough to win me over, but the charming space sealed the deal. The shop has a cozy, thoughtfully designed vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer.The staff were friendly and efficient, but the lines were so long that we only had a few minutes with them. Clearly, a lot of people have discovered this gem. My only real gripe is the seating situation. Space is limited, and finding a table can be a challenge. It takes away a bit from the otherwise relaxed coffee-shop atmosphere when you're constantly keeping an eye out for an open seat. read more

Still the same great and enjoyable place I've loved each and every time. The staff are memorable and bright, the food is so delicious and the coffee always taste just right. I love the space itself, an old style home modernized into the perfect little Portland coffee nook. A must visit IMO read more

A wonderful neighborhood coffee shop, exactly what we needed. The service is great, the drinks are excellent, and the baked goods are some of the best in Portland. Everything always fresh and delicious. They have a wonderful mix of sweet and savory baked goods. My only issue is the seating. Many times I've visited, people stay at tables with laptops for three to four hours, which makes it hard for others to find a spot to sit for even 30-40 minutes. On my last visit, the people who were there before me were still there when I left 45 minutes later. I really wish the shop would consider a one-hour limit or designate a few shorter-stay tables. I'd come much more often if I felt confident I could sit and enjoy my drink and treat, but the lack of turnover has kept me from stopping in. read more

Keeper Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is one of those neighborhood coffee shops in Portland that I always find myself coming back to. It's warm and inviting the moment you walk in, with that comforting wave of coffee aroma that makes the space feel instantly cozy. It's always busy, but in a way that feels lively rather than overwhelming. They're known for their quiche, but I usually end up ordering something sweet. This time I tried the coffee cake for the first time, and it was surprisingly delicious--light, not overly sweet, and perfect with a latte. I also had the marionberry and cream pastry again, which is one of my favorites. It's bright, slightly tart, creamy, and has that satisfying bit of crunch. The coffee here has low acidity, a smooth profile, and a medium body, which pairs beautifully with their pastries. Starting my morning with something this sweet and comforting just makes me happy. read more

I love going to Keeper Coffee. They have two locations, but I usually visit the one in Milwaukie, although I really should give the other one a try. What makes this place stand out is the vibe. Everything is so cutely decorated, and the building they share with Pfriem Brewery gives it a unique and cozy feel. They have a large upstairs area, which I can see myself coming here with my laptop. The pastry selection is fantastic. If you have time to sit down for breakfast, I definitely recommend it. That is what I did on my first visit. On my second visit, I grabbed a pastry and a drink to go, wandered around, and stopped into some of the nearby vintage shops, which made for such a lovely afternoon. read more

Charming local cafe with a very nice selection of fresh pastries. Coffees tasted more on the "mild" side for me. I needed something a bit punchier for the drive back to Seattle, but it was delicious nonetheless. Our quiche was the perfect portion size and so tasty! Not sure why we hadn't been to Keeper before but we'll be back! Service was excellent (the manager was so kind and helpful when I called in an error I made and tried to pay them online somehow), and the decor is cozy cute. Street parking wasn't too difficult, but I can see it being a challenge during morning hours. read more

I was debating what to do on a Sunday afternoon and decided it was a coffee shop vibe kinda day. I consulted ChatGPT and yelp and landed here. 10/10 recommend! I ordered an americano and df/gf and both were really good. There is parking available on the street. I can see where peak times could be a little harder to snag. Service was great too! read more

While this is a coffee shop - and a cute and cozy one - sometimes it's the pastries and breakfast sandwiches that bring me here. So many options and all delicious! Their classic coffee cake is my favorite. The thick crumb topping reminds me of the NY and NJ coffee cakes I grew up with. A slice of classic coffee cake and a Coava coffee and I'm super happy! The staff is friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The baked goods span sweet, savory and vegan so something for everyone. And they serve a full array of coffee drinks, many topped with a beautiful frothed cream design. read more

overall: 4/5 drink: 4/5 pastry: 4/5 service: 5/5 ambiance: 5/5 I came this week (November 21, 2024) on a monday afternoon not expecting many people or a line like the other reviews i read about keeper coffee, but i was pleasantly surprised that all the tables were taken and that there was a short line of people waiting to order. thankfully, street parking was easy to find and the exterior/interior of the cafe is just as cute as it is in photos! i love the atmosphere and the decorations of the cafe- the only thing is i wish there was a way to look at the drinks menu while waiting in line and i also wish they made seasonal drinks! other than that, the drink and pastry quality are superb. Keeper Coffee deserves the hype it receives!! I have been back multiple times since 2024!! read more

I love Keeper Coffee! The one off of Holgate is nearer to me than the larger storefront in Milwaukie, and cozy. My go-to treat is their iced lemon cake! You get a hefty, delicious slice for the price (tip is already included). They also make an amazing pea flower latte that is blue! Fun! And mine came with a unicorn drawn into the foam! Love the servers and the service. read more

Friendly staff, great variety of pastries, breads, and a couple sandwiches options, We tried zucchini bread, chocolate croissant, bacon and egg sandwich, savory scone. All delectable. Set in a residential area. Not an abundance of seating but we got lucky to get a table for three right away. Drafty by door but it's February. Was bustling but not crowded. Ample staff with fun vibe. Can tell this is a local hot spot. read more

This quaint coffee shop on the East side of Portland has a vintage feel and serves a good cup of coffee. I got a small iced mocha which had a great balance between being sweet and bold. All of the baristas were very kind and greeted me upon walking to the front to order. The inside has some seating and there are more tables outside for the nicer fall days like when I went. They also have a small corner filled with merchandise they sell in shop. Overall, I would recommend this shop if you are looking for something new and something local, it can be a great spot to sit down and get some work done. read more

Love this place! Has great breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Vegatarian options. Excellent coffee. It is a bit spendy but they seem to pay their staff well based on a staff report. Maybe they build staff pay into the prices. I really hope it is true. It gets real busy on the weekends so sometimes the line is long. It feels like a historic-ish home on the inside. Has outdoor seating weather permitting. Friendly and wonderful staff. Overall a great place. read more

Very cute vibe, and the drinks are great. They also have lots of fresh pastries and baked goodies. Staff is always so kind also. They added a 20% auto grat so it's a little on the pricy side. Average is $15 for a drink and pastry for one person. My main complaint (and it's both locations), is that it's very noisy. Some rugs or wall sound absorbers would be welcomed. read more

Keeper Coffee was the first to have the $8 latte in Portland that I know of, but to their credit the prices of everything else has gone up so they're about average now do their credit. they don't require Tips because the service is built in in order for them to maintain consistent staffing, which is understandable. And now they have another location out in Milwaukie, Oregon, which is quite good and more spacious. They have consistent quality with their drinks, though it's quite overcrowded in there (which is a testament to their popularity). I like the fact that they've established a no laptop rule during busy hours because people at coffee shops like to camp out and this is a small spot. I also like that they don't have a lot of attrition with the staff. Other coffee shops have staff that come and go and don't seem very pleasant but the staff at Keeper Coffee always seem at very minimal congenial and most often very friendly and welcoming. That goes a long way in Portland, where a lot of coffee shops have mediocre to pour customer service. read more

Love everything about this coffee shop! I drive all the way from Arbor lodge because the coffee is delicious, the baristas (especially rory) are always so nice and personable, and the overall vibe of the shop is unmatched. I get the Harvest Moon latte with whatever seasonal foam they have (last time it was coconut cream with toasted coconut flakes) and it is always so so good! Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

This is my first time at the Woodstock location but I have been to Keeper coffee before on Milwaukee and I loved it. Today I got the coffee cake which is ok, a bit dry and hard. I think their raspberry scone is the best bakery item. I spent 10.25$ for a coffee and pastry. Expensive but worth it. The coffee is great too. I like that this location has a parking lot. It's in an old house and feels very cozy. Great place to study and hang out. Employees are very nice. read more

Keeper Coffee - Coffee cake and coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

What a memorable and invigorating first visit to this beautiful coffee shop in SE Portland! Where to even begin. The pastry case was unbelievable. I could barely narrow it down from the plentiful options. I settled on a classic coffee cake which was robust in size and incredibly satisfying. The staff even offered to heat it up for me after I finally decided on it. The building has a lot of character and many fun touches to make it quirky and cozy. Think lots of old school wooden features with a modern twist. The staff were overwhelmingly friendly. I can't wait to go back and try another pastry... perhaps the savory scone or veggie sandwich! I also plan to stay longer next time so I can wander over to the unique mead bar next door that shares the same space... read more

Amazing food, great ambiance and kind servers. Love working from here. Love this place so much.

Didn't get a chance to get any coffee because, unlike what is listed on their Yelp profile and several Yelp reviews, dogs are NOT allowed to stay in the coffee shop. They're allowed if you are walking in for a to-go order but I don't think that should mean they are "allowed." read more

Great baked choices and excellent coffee! There are yummy sweet AND savory breakfast items! Loved the historic setting!

Really cute local coffee shop that blew up with all the popularity on social media. Be aware of timing when you come because it can get packed and seating gets pretty packed. As you walk in there is a line that goes in between tables so can get a bit hectic but it's worth the wait. Similar to what others have posted, be aware they did have a 20% min tip but I think I received an email that they will be incorporating these in their prices now to provide a fair wage. Not a deal breaker but will run you a little more expensive than other places. As for the coffee and and pastries (*chefs kiss*) Loved the vanilla latte with their syrups and their quiche and breakfast sandwiches were delectable. The menu items are filling and the perfect pairing for your morning brew. They have a wide selection of other pastries that looked delicious and are popular because the case was getting refilled. read more

After doing some research before flying into PDX for a father/daughter trip this little coffee shop came highly recommended and I can see why. Its everything anyone could possibly want in a local corner coffee and pastry shop! Quaint and cozy and obviously very popular as we went in mid week on a Wednesday around 930/10 and it was full inside. Fortunately didnt have to deal with any long lines but even of there were it would be so worth it. Friendly baristas and everyone behind the counter also seemed happy and pleasant. My daughter settled on an iced oat milk latte, I had a mocha, and we split a marionberry galette and some zucchini bread. Both coffees were amazing (the iced latte was smooth and refreshing and the mocha was rich but not overly sweet (perfect) and loved loved loved the marionberry pastry!!! Loved the area and the vibe inside and wouldnt hesitate to come back again. Wish there were more places like this back in SoCal however its just not the same without this fantastic cool, wet, and foggy fall PDX weather which I love! read more

I love Keeper Coffee all year, but in the wintertime, they have a peppermint mocha with homemade marshmallows and their vegetarian quiche offering is a mushroom quiche. Let me tell you, I look forward to that combination more than Christmas!! All the baristas are also delightful! 11/10! read more

I'll start with the good. Wow, the food selection here is *chefs kiss*. We got the croissant, marionberry and cream galette and a quiche and everything was tasty, flavorful and amazing quality. Now the not so good. Pretty much everything else. I read the reviews before heading there and was aware of the high prices and the 20% service fee but wow, it really racks up. 3 pastries, a coffee and a hot tea ended up being $45. I was blown away. I ordered a rose cardamom mocha and it was pretty ordinary. 12oz with oat milk came out to almost $8. My wife's tea which was 1 tea bag and 8oz of water came out to $4.25. The place was absolutely packed and no menu given until you get to the front so it was hard to get to the counter prepared with what to order. Despite the tasty food, we won't be coming back. This place is waaaay outside of my tax bracket. read more

This is THEEEE coffee shop in SE Portland! Keeper embodies everything a neighborhood coffee shop should be. It feels like you are going to a friend's house for a morning cup of jo. Filled with rustic charm, Keeper offers homemade pastries and Coava coffee. While lines can get long, all the employees are friendly and have a smile on their faces. Friendly and welcoming, it is a neighborhood gem. Their homemade pastries are absolutely divine! Sweet treats along with savory quiches and danishes, I had to resist getting one of everything. Keeper Coffee is truly a keeper in my books! read more

Portland is known for their amazing coffee brewers and I took advantage of visiting as many coffee shops that o could during my stay there. Keeper Coffee is such a gem! I loved the atmosphere and feel of the cottage coffee shop. They are women owned cafe too. The barista was so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a freshly baked savory scone that was absolutely delicious and of course ordered an iced americano that paired perfectly with the scone. They pride theirselves on building community, friendship, and fantastic coffee. All of their pastries are made in-house too! read more

Stop number 6 on my mission to explore a new Portland coffee every week. This place gets a spot near the top of my list so far, with the highlights including very friendly staff, great tasting espresso, and incredible pastries. I had to wait a few minutes for a seat, but people seemed not to linger too terribly long. A great balance of folks working/reading and just socializing. Parking was easy enough, too, which I appreciate! read more

My husband and I love to check out different coffee shops and our latest was Keeper Coffee! It's clearly a neighborhood favorite. The small cafe was full of people working on laptops and reading or hanging out. The baristas were so friendly and chatting with everyone. I could tell some people are regulars they know well. We ordered their special cardamom rose latte and a chai latte. Both were good but the coffee cake was amazing!! read more

Solid 7/10 coffee, but I hope you don't mind paying extra because it's super pricey. The place is really small, so expect super limited seating and parking. You're best off parking a few blocks away in the nearby neighborhood. The staff have all been really nice and the pastries I've had here have always tasted fresh. I just wish I could afford to come here more than special occasions. Vibes are pretty cool too; playing into the shabby-chic "cottage" decor. read more

Great coffee, even better breakfast/brunch and pastries. I also like that there's no tipping allowed. Prices are set according to their actual cost (instead of the misleading lower cost where a tip is expected in most places) so the employees get a predictable income. If I had one complaint it's that some of the seating upstairs is kind of uncomfortable. Some cushions for the back would be nice. read more

A Neighborhood Gem! This coffee shop is hands down my favorite in the neighborhood! Their baked goods are absolutely delicious, especially the zucchini bread. Sure, it's on the oily side, but it's so flavorful that I can't resist. Totally worth it! I've tried a handful of their other baked goods & am definitely making it a personal goal of mine to try them all lol. I usually order their vanilla matcha topped with tiramisu cold foam--it's a game-changer. The tiramisu cold foam is a must-have and pairs beautifully with any drink on the menu. If you haven't tried it, you're seriously missing out! The shop itself is super adorable, with a cozy vibe that makes it perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed! read more
