Portland chill.You walk in and it's a full house folks tucked into corners working on laptops, sketching in notebooks, probably writing the next great novel or at least pretending to. It's got that artsy, lived-in soul where nobody's in a rush, and somehow that makes your coffee taste better. The seating situation? Dialed in. Comfy couches you can sink into, solid chairs if you've got work to do, plenty of tables, and even outdoor seating when the weather decides to cooperate. It's the kind of place you come for one cup and end up staying for three. Now let's talk about the move: cold brew with a thick splash of half and half. I'm telling you that right there is the ticket. Smooth, rich, and it hits just right, especially on one of those perfect spring days where the sun finally shows its face in Portland. Simple put this place isn't just good coffee. It's the whole vibe. Highly recommend.

One of the first things I appreciated was how easy it was to find free street parking in the morning. As soon as I walked in, the place had a cozy, homey feel. There were plenty of tables to choose from, including bar seating by the windows, which was perfect for me for getting some work done while people watching. I ordered a latte and the avocado toast, and both were absolutely delicious. I can definitely see why this is such a popular spot for studying and working. It has a comfortable atmosphere, good food, and great coffee, everything you need to be productive. I'd happily come back the next time I need a change of scenery.

(They could use a couch :) ) It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood a block south of Killingsworth and a few blocks north of Alberta. And yes, it does have a tiny skate park adjacent. I've never seen anyone use it. This is Jet Black's second location, their other being in Gateway. They roast their own coffee. lt is a vegan shop, meaning they offer coconut, almond, oat, or soy milk. They have pastries from an assortment of local bakers that are also all vegan. If you can, enjoy your coffee in-shop for some awesome latte art. On my most recent visit, I got their special (pecan pie latte) to go. It was good. The shop is definitely in my rotation of locations to visit when in the area.

First time at Heart today. I ordered an oat milk cardamom latte and my sister had cold brew. I was…read moreglad they had plant milk but was disappointing the only choice was oat. I prefer soy as it steams better IMHO and oat can make me feel a little ill. Still, the coffee was pretty good. Not amazing but I drank it with enjoyment. I asked about food but they were sold out of all pastries. The interior was fairly quiet - there was chill music playing and the decor was fairly sparse. This made for a mentally relaxing cafe experience. They have tables for 2 or 4, with a request to reserve the large tables for groups of 3+. They do not have WiFi. The place was not busy while there - the cold brew showed up very quickly, the latte took longer but it was a reasonable time. The bathrooms are shared with other businesses (like a yoga place) and were clean and quiet, also. Overall, it's decent. The quiet atmosphere bumps it from 3 to 4 that the coffee alone might have merited.

I should have known when I asked if they had a "cold brew" and the guy said they "could make that work". Cold brew is not a concept that you "make work" my man. Instead of a delicious cold brew coffee I was served a very weak tasting and very water iced coffee. You and some of the assembled regulars insisted your drink was just about the same as cold brew. Well like, cat, "take a moment" and process the difference: Cold brew is a popular coffee beverage requiring a long "cold" brewing process to extract all the coffee goodness. It's so dense in flavour that when ice and the slightest introduction of heavy cream is added it tastes like an espresso with a little crème but, you know, cold. Cold brew is a brew of intense coffee that takes a day or two to make rather than the morning drip coffee you poured over ice and with a Cheshire smile served me as a substitute. Not cold brew, kitty, iced coffee! What's crazy is when I brought it back to explain that you served me an iced coffee and that you did not "make it work" in any way you kind of engaged in gaslighting me into thinking I was at fault because you took my order for a cold brew and was served a very flavorless iced coffee. You don't actually have cold brew coffee at the Flying Cat Coffee. Just say that when people order it. Or if you put it on the menu then there is a whole section at Safeway ( yeah, I know what you are thinking cat, who goes to Safeway) with like twenty versions of cold brew and even a Stumptown concentrate cold brew in a glass bottle (again, I know, Safeway?). So in conclusion, be honest and just say you don't serve cold brew, you can't possibly make an iced drip coffee "work" as cold brew no matter how enchanted (or is it enchanting) that little cute black cat sculpture in the corner might be.

I think what really shines here is the coffee and the ambiance -- lovely open space with unique "stepped" ceiling, ice-block glass, foliage, gently energizing music playing on the speakers, plus options to sit outside at picnic tables. If you need quiet to take a call (as I did), you can hop into a sort of "telephone booth" that is fully enclosed and lightly sound-proofed. It's just big enough for the call; you probably won't want to stay there longer than necessary.
