Randomly found this place and decided to stop in. They have recently moved and while looking confused was redirected to their new location less than a block down the road. What makes this place unique is that they have beer and wine available for sale too. There is also an outdoor patio and it looks like they may have music in the evenings. The barista was super friendly and while enjoying my horchata hot brew noticed numerous regulars and such a friendly vibe by all employees. Honestly the friendly and sincere service really makes this coffee shop stand out. Wouldn't hesitate to stop in again soon. read more

Nice place to visit. Had a lovely chat with the barista and some REALLY good coffee. If I lived around here I'd be a regular for sure.

Mudd Works Roastery on Glisan in NE Portland is an absolute gem for coffee lovers! From the moment I first walked in, I knew someone had put a lot of care and passion into every aspect of this business. Indeed, the owner Marco really knows his stuff. He has a deep knowledge of coffee, roasting, and the intricacies of pulling a perfect shot for the many concoctions he prepares in his tiny shop. I think he truly loves the craft of coffee, and it shines through in every ounce of Mudd Works. Have you ever seen a vintage Sasa Samiac roaster? I certainly hadn't before meeting Marco. His roaster is the heart of Mudd Works - literally, right there in the center of the coffee shop. The aroma is extraordinary, creating a magical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sense of anticipation. It's clear something special is being created in the space, and visitors are invited along for the full sensory experience. Feast your eyes upon, touch, smell and taste everything that is being created at the roastery. You'll quickly learn why Mudd Works has built a devoted following who come back time and time again for a perfect bag of beans, and a brew to go! I love my work because I get to witness firsthand the alchemy business owners use to transform vision into reality. I don't know if Mudd Works is exactly what Marco set out to create, but the business that has resulted is a delicate balance of art, creative expression, precision and years of experience. This coffee shop and roastery is something unique that resonates with me, and the rest of the customers who walk through the front door. Additional details: Mudd Works boasts a large parking lot, plus streetside parking. There are a few places to sit inside, but visitors will also find covered seating and tables on the sidewalk in front. The owner is very dog-friendly, with a fresh bowl of water and treats on hand for canine visitors. If a sample is offered, be sure to accept! I've discovered a housemade iced horchata, and remarkable Central American chocolate used in some of the drinks through samples. Simply delicious! read more

This place is really, really small. When we visited there were probably 6 customers inside and with that few people, it felt claustrophobic. I could barely turn around and there was no place to sit unless we squeezed in with the strangers at a huge table taking up most of the teeny room. The barista was nice and wanted to know if we wanted to taste coffee before we selected it. I told her that we just needed medium roast coffees and I added a pastry. We sat outside at a table next to Glisan. It was chilly. The pastry wasn't great and the coffee was hair-on-your-chest strong. I can see and understand why people who like very strong coffee like this place and truthfully, the outdoor seating has it's own charm...but we won't be back. read more

I'm glad that they ship. Will be sending some of these coffee beans to friends. This place is a Portland must try. read more

Marco carefully selects the coffee he roasts on the premises. Over the many (many!) years I have gone to Mudd Works Roastery for coffee, he has shown his knowledge and skill for choosing a variety of wonderful coffees. He is friendly, kind and courteous. He makes an incredible horchata FROM SCRATCH! And the pastries from local bakeries are quite delicious. The people who come in are the kind you can have a conversation with and feel happy about it, even if some of them are a little grumpy. read more

There are endless highly recommended coffee shops we've tried in Portland. Many have served up weak expensive coffee, which is so disappointing! Mudd Work has been a rare pleasure! Coffee is full-bodied and rich, and pastries are fresh, delicate, and tasty! Service is friendly and welcoming. Def recommended. read more

Everything is delicious here. The coffee is roasted in house and so good. Try the Horchata for a special treat. Great local business.

I decided to try Mudd Works for beans, so I ordered a pound of French roast online. The local delivery option said it would take 40 - 50 mins for delivery. I thought it was just a fluke, or a mistake in the checkout process. I went back to work expecting the beans the next day. But nooooo 45 mins later my phone rang and there was a knock at my door and voila! Beans! Now that's service! Bonus I brewed up some French roast this morning and it is delightful. Thanks, Mudd Works!! read more

Great small coffee shop in Montavilla. The owner is very knowledgeable and kind. My favorite is the 'Pooh Bear.' A nice frothy oat milk latte with a hint of honey. However, he also offers an horchata cold brew if you're looking for super sweet. The hours are not consistent as the owner is having a tough time finding staff for his shop. Worth the stop to check out if you've got time. read more

The people who work here are awesome and so is the coffee. One of the only places I ever switch up my order because every drink I've tried has been so good. read more

Fire coffee. Better ice cream. Sick latte art. Great fresh roasted beans. Did I say the ice cream was great? read more

Always amazing customer service and delicious and unique beverages made using in-house hand roasted coffee. MWR for the win! ;) read more

This dude treats coffee like an art, as it should be. He knows what the hell he's doing, that's for sure. Super small batch roasting. Finely-tuned shot pours. Fun personality. Kinda weird hours. Everything you want in a local coffee haunt. Currently no indoor seating due to COVID. read more

You just can't miss with this place. The owner is spectacular and every time I go in I feel as though I am chatting with old friends. The drinks are delicious and well made. If you haven't had the oat milk horchata cold brew you are missing out! There coffee beans are delicious and the advice given to keep in my freezer before use really seals in flavor. 10/10! read more

Great coffee, personable service and stands out among Portland coffee options. Beans were freshly roasted and seemed pretty low acid. Very pleased. read more

Great cup of coffee. I had a drip South American medium roast, nice and strong, also very fresh tasting. My husband raved about his latte and went back for a second one. We really enjoyed this owner operated coffee roasting business. read more

So delicious!! Marco knows what he is doing roasting and making coffee drinks! My go to is a honey oat latte. Plus Marco is such a sweet comedian! Come support a local business! read more

A very simple setup right now, the owner is the only employee. He does a great job of keeping a distance, and has hand sanitizer by the chip reader at the door. The beans themselves are very very good, and his lattes are great! read more

we highly recommend the delicious coffee! FRESH and fragrant, and we order it to AZ when we are not in Portland. Mudd works has spoiled us, and we cannot go back to other coffees. read more

First of all, the coffee is good. It's really cool to check out the roasting equipment (it's all visible) and simultaneously drink the product. The owner is a super rad dude who very clearly views his shop and clientele as a community, and is always playing around with new ideas to meet the needs of his customers. The oatly soft serve is bomb, as well. This place slaps! read more

The best coffee in Portland hands down. I know that's a bold claim in this city, but the owner here consistently brews excellent small batches of coffee from around the world. There's usually about eight different varieties to choose from. The espresso drinks here are also inventive and delicious. Buy a bag of coffee, select the cold brew with horchata as your free to-go drink, and thank me later. read more

Marco is a cool guy and knows a lot about coffee. I stopped by when they were closed but luckily he happened to pull up at the same time and sold me some coffee beans. His coffee is really really good read more

my boyfriend and I went in for a couple double shots of espresso, they were served in cute little tea cups with a dark chocolate square. the owner was super nice and gave us cuties on the way out. love it here! read more

This is my favorite all time coffee place. I have been buying my beans from Marco for at least three years. I am hooked on this small batch roastery that sources their beans ethically and roasts to perfection. read more
