I've been trying to eat here for months. I have a standing meeting in the building on Mondays, and Yaffe is not open on Mondays. My appointment has continued to amount. This week, my Monday got moved to Wednesday dash and I decided to take full advantage of the opportunity. The space is inviting. It is that near-industrial urban chic of which Portland seems to be so fond. Lots of clean surfaces, lots of Spartan seating. A lot of empty space per human being. The menu does not disappoint. There are a variety of crêpes, both savory and sweet, sandwiches, other baked goods, and a vast plethora of drinks. Service was of the "order at the counter, have it delivered to your seat" variety. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful, and very nice when delivering my meal. I opted for the continental crêpe, and a glass of sweet tea. Being from the south, "sweet tea" has specific connotations. This was not that! However, it was delicious. It was a lighter green tea, sweetened slightly with something that I believe was probably honey. Served iced in a pint glass with a straw. The crêpe itself was folding in quarters layered with cheese and turkey and spinach and pesto and was delicious. All in all, it was a great place to pop in and have a quick bite waiting on my meeting. I'll definitely be returning. Except on Mondays. read more

This place is beautiful! It seems like a great plce to chill or work at. When I went, there was am art exhibition going on. The baristas were very friendly. I got the raspberry matcha and it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it's one of the best matchas I've had but I was satisfied with it. I need to come back here and try their crepes and other specialty drinks. read more

Do yourself a favor and go visit this coffee shop. The salmon sandwich was tasty and I enjoyed my ginger tea. Above all else, the vibe was great, really good place to hang out, and eat/get caffeinated by the Burnside Bridge. read more

Really cute, black owned spot. It feels welcoming and cozy with a lot of natural lighting and plants. Individual who helped me was welcoming, approachable and personable. Hummus toast was delicious!

L'Atelier Yaffe - Hummus toast - Cafes Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is one of the most unique and beautiful spaces in Portland. The customized coffee syrups and high quality food, the intricate, beautiful, cultural art, and the inviting atmosphere, makes you feel like you are in someone's living room. I have worked remotely here several times, and the service has always been exceptional. Here is a beautiful deconstructed veggie plate, that was originally supposed to be a pita sandwich.. once the person who worked there realized that some of the ingredients were missing, they creatively arranged this delicious fresh veggie platter. I will be returning as often as I can! read more

Poor quality coffee, confused barista, and long wait time. I ordered an iced latte and after 25 mins got a watered down rose tasting drink that looked like a latte but it was anything but. Don't recommend this place. read more

This new space is a cafe with an art gallery. The cafe has coffee drinks, a small selection of beer and wine, mocktails, and a full bar. The star is well crafted crepes, savory or sweet and affogato. I had the Lutecia, built on a bed of salad misto with prosciutto, arugula, pesto, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, and a balsamic glaze. They have cheese and charcuterie boards and a small selection of deserts. It is counter service with self serve lemon mint chilled water. They have a small contemporary art gallery. The first show, by an East Coast curator, has one local and four international artists. There is also a music room. It all would make a nice small event space. It is near several offices including Autodesk. It is immediately adjacent to Centrl Office if you work there and need food. It is near The Yard, so it would make a perfect spot after the Knot Springs Spa. The interior is clean, contemporary, plenty of windows, with a refined white and blonde wood color scheme. They will add some outdoor seating facing South to the bikeway and the Dumbbell building. L'Atelier and Cafe Yaffe is a quiet hangout or meet spot with art upping the game in LowBu - lower Burnside - as the neighborhood becomes more residential. Keep an eye on their socials and web for events. read more

Very cute spot for brunch! Crepe was 10/10. They ran out of pesto, so served a side of hummus instead. So good! Only one barista working, so it does get very busy. Recommend going right at opening to avoid the long wait time and line. Love the ambience, cozy seating area, and art. read more

They kicked me out and wouldn't let me eat my food at the cafe cus of some event that was not even happening yet! The people weren't there, there would have been enough seating, and the braindead barista clown was like "it's a liability cus there's children" what? Makes no sense. Avoid. It is also an event gallery but it's not fair the way they kick out customers even if there's room to accommodate them. read more

Truly exceptional in a city of exceptional coffee shops! I happened to be in the area and walked by, stopped and looked in the window. A customer outside was drinking their drink and said to me, "girl, just go in, it's incredible." She wasn't wrong. I had the pistachio latte with baklava cold foam. I am not a sweet coffee drink person but I was having a "treat yourself" day (TM, Parks and Rec) and decided to go for it. Really amazing. I can't wait to go back. I also had a salmon crepe that was huge and delish. But, maybe most importantly, the customer service was top-notch. When the barista noticed it was starting to rain after I'd gotten settled outside, they came out to ask if I wanted help moving my stuff back inside to finish my meal. This visit was such a nice way to end the morning. My only suggestion: better signage outside or on the doors! It took me a while to figure out there was a cafe inside. Now I know! Can't wait to return. read more

I haven't had a better coffee experience anywhere than I had here. Not only was my crème bruelle latte and the classic crepe absolutely delicious, but everything about L'Atelier Yaffe is above and beyond. The baristas were kind and welcoming, even offering complimentary macarons and oranges with honey while I enjoyed my latte. The space is beautiful and relaxing, and I truly could have spent all day here. I will absolutely be returning and can't wait to bring my friends and family back here very soon! read more

The crepe was so good and fresh! TY!!! read more
