    Latte
    Winter B.

    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.

    A PDX SE fan favorite. Delicious coffee, friendly staff. Very cool layout. Colorful. Some indoor, mostly outdoor seating. Street parking. Enjoy!

    Their colors are too cute

    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!

    Key chain for 5$

    I went here with my family who was visiting from out of town, great tasting coffee Very nice to have the tables outside to sit. I took my baby on a walk in her stroller . Would definitely be back. Purchased a rad key chain for 5$.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Locally roasted coffee
    Tom T.

    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.

    Their coffee was super velvety and they were busy but attentive. I would go back but my friend found their coffee to be average. I thought otherwise. The guy at the register was super friendly and genuine. Great service.

    Plants & art

    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.

    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)

    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've been here quite a few times and have really enjoyed the Aribic People's latte with its strong cardamon overtones, the Chocolate Jesus and today, the Mucho Calliente, which promises a chili infusion, and cinnamon infused espresso with dark chocolate! But wait..., oh no, I forgot to ask for oat... this is probably (certainly) dairy. Argh! Sorry, I have no Viking blood and can not digest cow milk. I would rather battle the aforementioned Viking before I'd endure the results of ... dairy! So, I brought my drink up fully prepared to pay for another and everyone there, EVERYONE, in almost unison, refused to take my payment. They kindly and quickly made another and... oh... spicy indeed, but chocolatey and balanced! One of the best spicy mochas I've had anywhere ... and I am an absolute Spella snob and proud of it! Inside secret: Don't miss out on the great selection of truly authentic Egyptian foods and pastries, as well as some really nice necklaces and earrings. If you need that piece to pull your whole Nefertiti look together before going out for a Saturday of dancing and fun... this is your hidden gem!

Lots of people hanging out in the shop, some working, some talking, but it seemed like a good spot to get some stuff done. There was music playing that set a welcoming mood. Overall, highly recommend if you enjoy flavored lattes.

    Maaaaaaybe my new favorite coffee shop!…read more I had been to their other location but for some sad reason never made it here. Located on Hawthorne just past the curve at 50th, they've got plenty of free street parking in the nearby blocks. They don't have much external signage but they do have a lot of outdoor streetside seating, so it makes you wonder what everyone else knows. Inside, they've got Coava coffee, efficient staff, and an old-school cafe vibe. With multiple couches (one of my main criteria for a coffee shop) and free wifi, this is a place to work, meet people, and slow down. Great long hours - they're open 6am-6pm.

The intentions were genuine and things have progressed in a way where Albina Press is one of the most recognized coffee brands in the city. It's not too dissimilar from its OG sister location in North Portland (#3), where they still brew high quality caffeinated drinks with the vibes of a homey communal space with chairs, couches, and individual tables for a proper coffee date, WFH worthy WiFi, and plenty of anti-war propaganda in the self-serve water area in the back. The latte art was on point, the cold brew was most definitely strong, cafe au lait was milky and foamy in the best way, and the americano drinks were fabulous. While their hours (#4) aren't particularly suited for after-work hours, they do an excellent job of keeping their space clean and the vibes low key throughout the morning and afternoon. Prices are good for Portland standards. Most drinks are $5 and under, even for the largest sizes. The limited but high quality pastry selection is also appreciated. The service was good overall, just be certain with the order and don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Lines can happen, albeit rarely, and I would encourage most folks to drink the coffee on the spot. The space is part of the experience (be weary of the restrooms tho), so enjoy the low key ambiance with a drinkable jumpstart to the day. Maximize the time by starting early and be aware that street parking is the only way. __________ (#1) If you understand this, then you're either a serious coffee enthusiast or a massive food nerd.
