I ordered a Fresh fruit very berry smoothie (with whole milk non fat yogurt) and their special hot mocha to go. Chill music and various seating indoors (finally made it inside). Lots of gifty things to buy inside and they have merch. Currently construction drilling next door but good jams tunes em out. I'll be returning to support them again! Thank you!!

I'm a coffee-aholic, and I admit it...lol. So when this place opened (while I was out of town), I…read morehad to try it out as soon as I got back. It is WONDERFUL, and the young lady who owns it is just as nice as can be. Delicious coffee, reasonable prices, and a wonderful attitude from the owner - can't ask for any better. While I've generally been going to one of the Country Coffee locations over the last couple of years, I am pretty sure this place will permanently get my business. While the Country Coffee locations are great, I think this place beats them, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone in the area. It's located in the Carver Cafe's parking lot.

A friend suggested Lux as a place to meet for lunch and catching up recently so I stopped in…read more Wasn't at all what I was expecting - I was thinking basic coffee shop, but the menu here was spectacular. We ordered at the counter - my friend got a turkey bagel with iced coffee and I got the tuna melt with tomato soup with black coffee. As things were prepared, the server brought it to our table and was very polite. The ambience is a mix of café and bistro, everything was super comfortable. The music in the background was not too loud. Everything was inviting. The food genuinely surprised me - my friend's bagel sandwich came drizzled with a balsamic glaze and was pretty comprehensive - the turkey included cheese and avocado and sprouts and was well above and beyond what you would expect from a turkey bagel sandwich. My tomato soup appeared to have been made in house which surprised me. And the tuna sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. It was dark tuna but not that shitty cheap dark stuff, but the actual dark tuna that you want if you're trying to provide an elevated flavorful experience. We did not order from the dessert case, but oh my God it is ridiculously overwhelming in terms of the offering. I almost wanna go back and just graze on desserts. The location is a little weird and kinda out-of-the-way for me but if I'm in that part of town again, I will definitely be making a stop.

What a beautiful place that serves food, bakery items with equal aesthetic sense and taste…read more Sometimes when the beautifully decorated food, it lacks in taste, but I won't say the same about my experience here. The service was friendly and so was the decor. Best part is that they are open quite late so it is a good place to be at if you have a quick hour or so to spend late in the evening. I'll return for their breakfast more lunch options

Went here with my boyfriend on a sunny Wednesday, and honestly, it was such a vibe. The moment we…read morewalked in, we were greeted by the coziest atmosphere -- sunshine spilling through the windows, soft music in the background, and that perfect mix of coffee and comfort in the air. The baristas were super friendly and made our drinks with care (you can tell they love what they do). I got an iced dirty chai that was chef's kiss -- smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. My boyfriend ordered a simple black coffee, and he was impressed by how bold and fresh it tasted. We sat outside for a while, soaking in the weather and people-watching, and it felt like the perfect little midweek escape. Definitely one of those local gems you can't help but come back to -- chill, creative, and full of good energy.

I've hit up almost all the coffee carts and shops in Parkrose and this place so far has the best…read morecoffee! I usually go to Starbies across the street but their drive thru is sometimes packed, so I've been trying out the different carts (even hit up a bikini one by accident!) and I have finally found my favorite. I pass this place when I drive to work but it's easy to miss because it's behind Arbys in the back parking lot. If there's a line it moves pretty fast. The baristas here have all been super sweet and my dogs get treats from them every time. My doodle puppy has even start accepting treats from them when he is usually terribly shy about it. I love their hot white mocha. It is creamy. It is sweet to my liking and it tastes great. My other half loves their Mexican mocha and my middle son said their Cookie Monster blended drink is so good! Everyone here is nice, they take debit cards and they have a stamp card too. I do like coming here and I will keep coming back

The owner Yvette is often there, and she is such a nice lady. Even when she is cranky, and you can tell by her facial expressions. She isn't rude. I thought the bad reviews were odd. I've never seen her treat her employees any kind of way, not even raised her voice. And dirty? Also, odd. I've been going here since 2017. Maybe just a retaliatory ex-employee, look at the dates. So close together. If you are there when someone comes by who is less fortunate you are in for some smiles. They treat everyone with dignity and respect and don't treat anyone like a germ because of their presentation. It doesn't matter what side of town i live, i will drive all the way over to NE 122nd and NE Halsey for this amazing white chocolate mocha. Don't confuse the offer coffee drive throughs with similar names for the OG Perfect Cup Espresso. I learned that the hard way when ordering off of Grubhub. So watery and nowhere near the quality!

This is not a modern type of place... it's more like a cozy spot where you run into neighbors and friends. The seating options are diverse and plentiful, so grab a warm beverage and plan to sit by the window for a while. Service was good, but not that distinctive either way. I ordered an Americano and it was ready fairly quickly. Prices were slightly above average for the market, but it was cool to be able to say that I was drinking something roasted by a local person. Street parking is available. It's a busy area but the shop is convenient for other errands in Sellwood. I probably wouldn't go out of my way based on this first experience, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back if a friend recommended that we meet there. Maybe the second time is the charm?
