Popped by Never this morning. It's still an occasional special treat for me at $8 a signature latte. But I think they're doing something fun and have some of the most unique coffee drinks in the city. I love their colorful branding, the mugs, the mural, the plants. I got the Rich Kid + Midnight Oil (and wish I had seen their sign for their take on a pumpkin spice called The Yams - I'll need to pay more attention to their seasonal flavors). I always forget which one I like best. I wish they had a flight. I'd also like to come back and try their beans - they have many bags/options - but the lattes are too tempting. read more

Stopped here during my relentless pursuit of my ideal coffee lounge and I'm really glad I did. It's a relatively small shop but also full of life and character. There's a few small tables inside but also several large picnic tables outside. Music was mellow and agreeable to me. I enjoyed an Americano. I'm not sure what the beans were but it was very tasty, with a hint of berry? It was unique. Service was great. read more

Never Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I came here today to grab a coffee and really liked it! The most aesthetic coffee shop I have been to in Portland. Sooo cute. I love the cups that the coffee comes in and it's cool that you can buy them. This place is more for drinks than pastries or food. They had a few pastured but no food menu. My latte was great. Around 5$ for a small. Baristas were very friendly and efficient. I came on a Saturday morning around 10:00 and there was a good amount of people but it wasn't over busy or crowded. Nice outdoor seating and a few small tables inside. read more

This charming, whimsical coffee shop stands out among others in this neighborhood. It's pocket sized shop is more of a to go than hang out inside kinda vibe, they do have park benches outside. The coffee is smooth and the barista's technique is sound. My vanilla latte was a bit on the cool side of hot for me and the price point is a little ambitious at $9 bucks including tip. Service was welcoming and really nice, I would return when in this area again. Really fun place to visit and see their attention to details inside. Cheers read more

Visited Portland for the holiday and Never was close to my stay. Also in such a cute area with food trucks and Tabor Bread nearby! But back to Never - They have tons of signature lattes and seasonal drinks. During my trip I had the Oregon (iced and hot even though it was in the 90s) and Rich Kid iced. Both were delicious. I think the hot Oregon was my fave so it was rough having the weather not line up w a cozy latte... I've seen mixed reviews on this but I had a good experience with staff - they gave me a discount on my sweater purchase when they noticed it had coffee stains on it. Also they didn't judge me when I bought two coffees for myself lol. Speaking of merch, they have such cute marketing! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Portland! read more

Never Coffee - Key chain for 5$ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love this place! Coffee shop that manages to be cozy, but also bright & airy. Everything I've had here has been really good.

Never is such a fun coffee spot for some very creative lattes! I love getting the rich kid which I believe is a cardamom rose water saffron latte. A 12oz is $7 which is a lot but it's very good. I also purchased a bag of beans to try as well. The space is small but mighty. Good amounts of seating inside and outside. Parking is free and plentiful. The staff is friendly and very fast. I've been here a handful of times and I usually come when I want to get out on a morning to get a coffee somewhere special by myself. read more

overall: 4/5 drink: 4/5 service: 4/5 ambiance: 5/5 i came in the summer of the last year, and the vibes were great! the baristas were super kind and charismatic, which made our experience all the better. i love the interior- all the colors with the greens and cool tones are beautiful, but there is no seating inside the cafe, so it seems more of a grab and go situation, or grab and go sit outside in the summer situation. my friend and i ordered the Oregon and the Rich Kid! i forget which one i got, but i tried both and remembered liking the Rich Kid more, as the coffee flavor was strong and there seemed to be a lot of ingredient thrown in to the drink that makes this cafe unique and the drink yummy! coffee flavor wise, it's not too strong, but i could taste hints of the roast along the other flavors used within the drink. i think it's all personal preference as to whether or not you like the drink, as my friend did not think there was enough coffee taste and thought the drinks were too light. however, i do recommend checking out this place in the summer! good vibes, good people, and yummy drinks. read more

I was in Portland for the first time and my friend was showing all the coffee stops since she had lived here before. When we arrived it was moderately busy. We arrived around brunch time on a weekday. Whenever I try a new coffee shop my go-to is a simple latte and almond milk. I feel this is the best way to really taste their espresso and I thought the drink was delicious! After sipped my drink my friend and I sat outside at one of the tables. It was a really nice day to enjoy our brew and catch up. It was nice to see all the pups walk by and say hello too. I had a great experience here and would come back! read more

Great coffee shop with an awesome aesthetic. It's a pretty small shop, with two baristas working behind the counter. The shop is filled with lush green plants, original art, and merch. I ordered a dirty chai latte with almond milk. It had the perfect amount of spice I would expect from a chai latte, and the espresso was STRONG! Usually when I order a dirty chai I expect it to taste more like a regular latte with a hint of chai flavor. But this was the perfect marriage of chai tea and espresso, both flavors were bold yet perfectly balanced. I gave Never Coffee four stars because the customer service wasn't there for me. I walked in and said hello before either barista acknowledged me. It wasn't a very warm and welcoming vibe in there, but more of like get in and get out. They do have picnic tables on the sidewalk for outside seating if you wanted a place to sit and sip. read more

Tiny little neighborhood business. Short list of things they make. Indoor area has very limited seating. Only got 4 stars because it's so minimal and not much to it. read more

What a fun cafe to explore coffee. A choice of 6 different blends. Medium roast across the board. One decaf. Inside is clean and polished. Samples of coffee lay in a basket. Syrups to mix with your coffee. Cups to hold your brew. Much to take in , so I ordered a house with cream . Didn't ask which blend I got, but it tasted good. Purchase the "OH" blend of coffee. 12 ounces for a twenty. I did not watch how they brewed my coffee. Could be pour over. So my task was to take home whole bean coffee , brew in my auto drip, and enjoy. So far, I'm happy with the coffee I chose. read more

Never Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They discriminated against me as a disabled person and were incredibly rude to me and refused service. They lied and said I put my service dog on the counter, which I did not do and would never do. They also were talking about me and saying disparaging things, which a neighbor overheard. Incredibly unprofessional, discriminatory practices. ALSO, I wrote about this previously and the review was posted-- somehow it was removed??? Are they paying-off yelp to get their bad reviews taken-down? For anyone interested in researching, a national coffee magazine wrote an article about how they are a discriminatory against people of color. Do some digging-- you'll find it. Do not give this establishment your money. They are awful, lying, snobby and discriminatory and don't even have good coffee. ALSO! Expensive! read more

What a cozy space. Very hipster with simple decor. Delicious coffee & ice chai (not sweet). The art around the space was interesting & fun. Great barista service (not so much on cell-service since it on a basement "underground feel" brick building) read more

Wonderful coffee shop. Everyone is so friendly & the coffee is fine af. I haven't had their regular lattes but their specialty ones are truly special. My favorites are the Oregon, holy grail, and rich kid (in that order). $8 IS expensive for coffee but if you're going to treat yourself once in a while this is 100% worth it. read more

What a colorful, vibrant and friendly coffee joint! They sell thick coffee mugs, really unique seasonal coffee which is so crazy as I chose the midnight oil with a taste of black licorice. I know, sounds yucky, but I love licorice all-sorts and this tastes great and sweet. Seriously, try it! The atmosphere and ambiance inside is relaxing and a great hangout. Service was exceptionally kind. read more

Great coffee shop. The barista went above and beyond trying to find me ingredients for something they serve only in DT location (I didn't know). He couldn't find one syrup so I got "Oregon" latte instead. It has hops, dulce de leche and sea salt. It was a very unique-tasting beverage. read more

Love this location of never coffee. We were in the neighborhood and got some pastries and coffee and it was great! The pastries were amazing (black sesame banana bread, miso cookie, squash danish and cherry scone) and the coffee is always good. The ppl were super nice and a much better experience than the location downtown. Have come back many times and will continue too! read more

The cashier seemed like she had an attitude. Didn't really greet her customers. The coffee was bitter. Seems like it would be a cute spot to enjoy coffee but I was just disappointed. The four star rating is too high and inaccurate in my opinion. read more

Came here early morning on a weekday. It was my first time coming here. I don't like coffee, but I was intrigued by their special drinks. Yes, they are NC's most expensive drinks, but I saw the unusual combination of ingredients and just had to try one! Based on the barista's suggestion, I got its Holy Grail, which contained tumeric, ginger, sea salt, tellicherry pepper, and a lot more! The combination of sea salt and pepper provided a very nice after taste, and I absolutely loved it. The place was opened three years ago, and they just recently opened another one in Portland. The place is colorfully decorated, both on the wall and on their stands. Their display of muffins and other baked goods were nicely displayed. There are about 4 tables with two small stools for each table. There's one large picnic table right outside the door. Will definitely come here again! read more

Very stylish little space with some very special speciality coffee drinks. They don't offer much in the way of food (only a few pastries that run out), and not much space for seating indoors. But if you're only looking for a good grab and go coffee, definitely check this place out. read more

I actually firstly discovered this coffee shop via TikTok. There are many trending coffee shop with good branding and marketing but can't do flavored latte or chai well. I was actually worried that Never Coffee would be one of them. Turned out, no, far from it! They got coffee, chai, branding, marketing all right. We ordered the Rich Kids latte and a cup of chai. Really enjoyed the spice combination in the Rich Kids! And the chai is not bland at all - it got the spice kicks right. I'd def come back. read more

Super cute spot. I went twice. The first day I got an americano which was good. My friend who recommended that I go here the lattes were the way to go. I came back for a latte and got the holy grail. I rarely ever drink lattes. But this is fantastic. Barista was so nice and patient going over different lattes and recommendations with me. Great spot. So interesting and delicious. read more

Was in town by myself for a day and decided to try three independent coffee places which all had stellar ratings. The other two were fine. I almost didn't order here when the owner said they were closing (and so I couldn't hang in the lobby) - only to go orders. Yelp had their hours listed incorrectly and it was 30 degrees out so I was actually looking for a place to hang and almost decided to bail and get coffee elsewhere that was open. Um... that would have been a huge mistake! I had The Visit and if you like coffee and orange... it is perfection in a cup. If I lived closer I would be back for it constantly. As it is I will add it to my short list for Portland trips along with Friend Egg I'm In Love. Look forward to trying their other specialty coffees but The Visit... is ridiculously great. Super friendly barista too. Thanks! read more

Colorful vibe all around, staff was kind when I mentioned it was my first time, as there was a lot to take in. Indoor seating is minimal.

After grabbing lunch at the food carts (Bite on Belmont) around the corner, I needed a little afternoon pick-me-up to get me through the rest of the day, so I decided to give this place a try. The coffee shop is really cute and tiny. It is well lit and not dark/gloomy inside (like some cafes). The place looks very clean and simple. They have a few tables inside and outside for those who want to enjoy a cup of coffee while getting some work done. Their menu is also very simple, which is not a bad thing. They offer the basics (latte, macchiato, mocha, etc.) along with a few of their own specialty drinks. These specialty drinks come in one-size only (12 oz) with two shots of espresso. These drinks are created with syrups that are made in-house. I tried two of their speciality drinks: The Oregon- very tasty, caramelly, but not overwhelmingly sweet. The Holy Grail- very different, floral, but refreshing. The only downside is that these specialty drinks are $6 for 12 oz.. read more

Literally just 3 stars Nothing crazy just trendy. The people at the counter seemed to think they were too cool to really care (service was confusing and kind of weird).

Small shop that I have only visited once. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Portland. Barista delivered a great, full bodied latte.

I was excited to try this shop and their coffee out. I was expecting a bold flavor but honestly, was just a bit bitter. I got the shaken espresso and I liked that better than the specialty coffee my boyfriend got. It was trendy but not quite making the mark in some way that I can't pinpoint. The staff were less than friendly, and there wasn't anywhere to sit with the weather doing Oregon things. read more

The parking is non-existent except by good karma, but the coffee and service are exceptional. Seating is outdoors, most comfortable in your own vehicle. Highly recommended for two or more people, so one can drive around the block a couple of times, rather than park. read more
