The best. Maybe not for Starbucks lovers, but the Moroccan spice they use is so wonderful

I'm just passing by, but I'm loving the warmth and ambiance of this place. I was drawn by the outrageously colored energy drinks displayed on the window, and while I was skeptical, the staff availed me of such skepticism. And after slight consideration, I tried the Atlas Oasis, and was more than happily proven wrong. Not only is it a gorgeous drink to have on the go, but its tart sweetness perks me right up! The green apple and blue raspberry are beautifully separated, so you won't get tired of the experience of sipping it 'gain and again. I'll definitely be back for another, when the weather's clear and I'm in dire need of a crisp pick-me-up. read more

Cute coffee shop in Portland with a decent amount of seating. We saw the moroccan style coffee and had to try. I got the moroccan pistachio latte half sweet and it was so good. Not super sweet and the Moroccan spices were very complementary to the coffee beans. Definitely one of my favorite tries on my trip to Portland. My bestie got the Moroccan vanilla latte and thought it was delicious without being too sweet. Many options for a multitude of different coffee lovers. read more

We had the spinach feta croissant and the marionberry cheese croissant. Both were perfection. The pistachio latte and Moroccan latte were both unique and delicious. Recommend doing half sweet on the latte if you like a mild sweetness. read more

Ovation Coffee & Tea - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great coffee but Wow, the most stark and cold decor I've ever seen at a coffee place in Portland. Nothing warm and fuzzy about it, stark walls, odd chairs that have seats make of bungee cords, a restroom door right in the center wall of the main room. Outside of that, the Pistachio Latte was amazing. read more

Typically drink black coffee, so I didn't try any of the fancy drinks but loved the Moroccan spice black coffee - just added a touch of spice and warmth to normal black coffee. Highly recommend! read more

I absolutely loved Ovation Tea and Cafe! I ended up coming here almost every day while I was in Portland because I wanted to try everything on their menu. They have such unique flavors and names - so many creative options for tea and coffee lovers. Some of the items that I tried from their menu: - Giraffe Latte - Morrocan Chai - Matcha Latte - Zebra Latte If you are in the area and love trying something differnet, definitely check this place out. It's cozy, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are worth coming back for. read more

Baristas were helpful and sweet. Are order came out incredibly fast and was delicious. Their menu had coffee classic, but also fun, unique drinks too. We ordered two drinks and a croissant, all of that was only $12. There was a decent amount of inside seating, but it is a pretty small space. Across the street there is a really pretty park, which added ambiance and could serve as additional space on a good day read more

Ovation Coffee & Tea - Moroccan ice coffee, blue raspberry nitro lemonade, croissant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Coffee shop featuring Moroccan-inspired drinks. Great location by the Fields Park. The shop has big windows that let in light and offer pleasant views. The barista that took my order was very friendly and helpful with my questions. I got a pumpkin chocolate scone and a Moroccan chai. Scone was good, crispy outside and fluffy inside. The Moroccan chai was cool - I think it was sprinkled with coarse sugar, which created a sort of crust on top of the foam, but the rest of the drink wasn't super sweet, and the spices were strong but smooth. This was a good choice for something a little different. read more

In love with the Moroccan cappuccino here. So rich in flavor and the spices made it even better. There were so many choices, need to come back here to try them all read more

we tried this spot because they have lotus energy drinks ! the baristas were very kind and patient as we chose our flavors. we tried two different combos; pomegranate dragon fruit and pomegranate green apple ! read more

Tried this coffee place when I wanted to try something different. The coffee was a little different with the moroccan influence. They sprinkled cinnamon powder on top of my cappuccino. Although it didn't taste any different to be honest. The ambiance is pretty refreshing and chic. The service is very nice with friendly staff. Coffee was very average. read more

I wish I knew of this coffee shop so I could have enjoyed it sooner! The Moroccan coffees with all the spices is so fun. My Moroccan vanilla latte is so perfect in the fall weather. I also ordered a chocolate chip scone. You could taste the the rich butter and it had like a flakiness to it. So impressed and cant wait to come back and try more items. read more

This place just makes the best pistachio latte in all of Oregon (don't forget the Moroccan spices!) and I love that they have different flavor of homemade fresh whipped cream. I heard they're opening up a drive-thru location soon. I can't wait! read more

Interesting twist on a matcha latte with their added spices, next time I'd try without the lavender because there are just so many flavors going on. Great service. It was pretty packed inside but also very quiet- seems like a great workspace. read more

I love this place in Portland, my favorite thing is to walk over here on sundays and drink a coffee with a scone! Scones are delicious, the best ones I have tried so far.

Incredible baked goods, clean environment, great service and loved the seasonal coffee drinks, strong drip coffee as well

Cue little gem around the corner of pearl district. Lots of residents came here after morning workouts. You can see lots of furry friends coming In and out. Staffs are super nice. Coffee is a must try. Exotic Moroccan lattes gives an interesting twist to the flavor. Some spice reminds me of the Chinese 5 spices but not too strong. Some has dry onion in it? Got to experience it Biscuits and paninis are also great flavor with a reasonable price. Love the crispy sandwiches. read more

This coffee shop had its own unique twist by including Moroccan spice blends into its drinks! My husband ordered the pistachio latte and I ordered the giraffe latte, which was white chocolate and caramel. They weren't overly sweet at all, which made them perfect for us as we tend to be half-sweet kind of people when it comes to how we like I coffee. We also ordered the gyro biscuit. My husband had it as is, which included goat cheese. I was happy when I learned they could replace the goat cheese with feta for mine! Barista was also knowledgeable about what's popular when we asked- huge help for us as visitors since we are in the area 1-2x/year to see my in-laws! We'll definitely be back! read more

Ovation Coffee & Tea - Pistachio latte and giraffe latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

While staying at a Residence Inn nearby, I looked at my Yelp bookmarks to see if there was a coffee shop nearby for the next morning.  Luckily, Ovation was within walking distance.  The next morning, even though it was raining, I made the trek over.  There is a small park right next to it, and if it wasn't raining, I would've enjoyed my coffee right there.  However, I high-tailed it back to the hotel, where my friend was waiting for her coffee. To cut to the chase a little, I went back the following day, as well.  In these 2 days, I ordered a white mocha, a red velvet latte, a pistachio latte, an orange creamsicle slush and a strawberries and cream slush (which I believe the slushes are called Zazas).  The coffees were all good and tasted as good as you would expect.  Well, maybe even better.  There was no bitterness in any of them (the white mocha I did get iced).  As for the Zazas, even though it was cold, rainy, and windy, I enjoyed both of them.  So much, that I got another one the next day.  For the coffees, I believe on some of them, they put some spices.  So, if you don't want the spices, just ask them if your drink has them. The service was great, as the ladies working those days happily answered all my questions.  And, I had a lot.  LOL!  Also, I am unsure of the parking situation in the day time, as there are a lot of businesses around.  But, worth a few passes around the block to visit this place. read more

Friendly service, lots of seating indoors and outside. Try the Moroccan pistachio latte!

If i could give them more then a five star I would i have been coming here for 3 years and love the atmosphere and the ladies that work here they're so friendly and nice read more

Came here when I was walking around the area and it was a great place to rest and enjoy some drinks! The inside of the shop isn't very big, but they have a fair amount of seating to study or chat with friends. The staff here is so friendly and they offer both a pretty extensive food and drink menu. I got Moroccan Mint tea instead of coffee here and it was amazing. It comes out with glasses and a beautiful tea pot and the making of the tea is an experience in itself. Such an amazing little find and I would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

I was searching for a quick breakfast place nearby since we were in town visiting and planned to take a day trip outside the city. That's when Ovation caught my eye because it had hundreds and hundreds of reviews with a perfect 5-star rating. We got here at around 8:45 AM on President's Day and there were a few street parking spots available. They have many, many drinks so I would recommend looking up the menu beforehand and deciding (which is what I did), or else it can be overwhelming if you have to decide in the store. I had the iced Moroccan mint tea, which was super refreshing. My husband had the vanilla matcha latte and it was sickeningly sweet. Even he says so, and he is the one with the sweet tooth. For food, I had the Supreme Biscuit (egg patty stuffed with spinach, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, and mozzarella cheese, topped with turkey sausage and layered with pepperjack and cheddar). This was good but after eating it for a while, I noticed there was some spice in it that I wasn't a huge fan of, but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. I liked my husband's sammie better. He had the Gyro Biscuit (lamb gyro, egg patty, goat cheese, roasted tomato on a biscuit). I've never had a breakfast sandwich with gyro in it, so I liked it. However, I don't like goat cheese so that's why I didn't get this one for myself. If I could go back, I would see if they could sub the cheese for a different one. Although the breakfast menu is small with just four sandwiches on it, I appreciate the uniqueness of it. Overall, it was still a nice breakfast. It was not overly heavy, yet filling enough to last us until a late lunch. read more

I'm visiting Portland this weekend and met up with my cousin in the area. She lives here, knows the area well, and came here for coffee. Solid spot! Recommend 10/10. I had the best cafe au lait ever! It had the most beautiful foam art! Thank you Carter! read more

Love Ovation Coffee & Tea! I ordered the Pistachio Latte. Let me be the first to tell you, "it's so so good." By far, the best coffee I've had since I moved to Portland. First & foremost, I appreciate all the hard work and sheer efforts from the two ladies who assisted me and my girlfriend. You 2 are rock stars! Thank you for breaking down the menu and explaining all the options that are offered from the café. Ordered two scones (Chocolate Peanut Butter & Blueberry) Ordered the Pistachio Latte. Thankful for the sweet hospitality and chill vibes! Thank you kindly. Ordered: 1) Chocolate Peanut Butter Scone 2) Blueberry Peach Scone 3) Iced Moroccan Pistachio Latte read more

My experience was beyond what I expected, the marocan mocha I ordered was a 10 out of 10, the service I got was amazing. The ambiance was off the charts like the environment was wonderful. And I would say it was when of the best coffee shops I have visited in Portland Oregon. read more

The customer service is excellent, same with the location. There is a park nearby and parking isn't too difficult. The food menu is inclusive and there are gluten free options and a ton of coffee and teas. I love that they use cold brew for cold drinks but the coffee was kind of weak flavor, it could have had a lot more punch or caffeine. It was rather milky but the pistachio drink had a nice unique flavor. Maybe the teas are better, when I try again. The areas of improvement would be the ambiance, it's not a very comfortable table to work from, the chair and table design feels overfilled. One or two tables being removed might make the flow better. As mentioned before, stronger coffee drinks. Other than that it was pretty good! read more

We stopped by early morning before our road trip down to California and was met with fast and friendly service. We usually like to order two different items to try but the Mediterranean breakfast biscuit with goat cheese, tomato, and lamb gyro meat caught both of our eyes so thankfully we each got our own. The biscuit was perfectly flaky and soft and we loved the flavors of everything together. Definitely one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had and also at a great price! For drinks we had the red velvet latte with oat milk and a pistachio latte. Both were solid but wouldn't say it's the best pistachio latte I've had. Overall, it was def worth a stop and now I'll forever think about this breakfast biscuit bc I'm sure there's nothing similar at home. I also saw you can text them your order which is really convenient! read more

Ovation Coffee & Tea - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It hurts me that I'm giving this spot 3 stars, but it's because I've seen a decrease in quality of the Moroccan Pistachio Latte. I'm a pistachio-fanatic and I was SO excited when I found out that Ovation specialized in pistachio lattes. I've brought people here so many times over the years, but recently, I've noticed that the pistachio latte seems to have gotten worse. Maybe I don't understand how they're made, but the texture feels like really bad boba? The pistachio latte is almost chalky with chunks that haven't been blended very well... The vibes and service are always excellent. But I'm not sure that I'd ever order the pistachio latte again until they fix the texture. The other stuff on the menu, however, are quite good. I almost wish they could downsize their menu because they offer so much and it's sometimes overwhelming. read more

Great place! Yum Matcha Lavender Tea!!! Super nice guy who shared with me a little about his friends favorite drink and it was the best recommendation he could've made! Totally understandable guy who let me charge my phone to turn it on to apple pay for a great price to be honest!! Would I come back? Not a question the tea was too and service was too good not to! Letting customers charge their electronics wins their loyalty 100% of the time to want to come back for years to come!Wish I took a picture of the great tea‍ Nice energy in the building no doubt! read more

Dropped by this place on a weekday morning when I was in the area for work and did not regret it one bit~ I wanted a pretty flavor coffee or tea and couldn't figure out exactly what I was feeling so Moroccan dirty chai it was, best of both worlds. My drink came out a good hot temperature and was delicious! Definitely everything I was hoping for when I ordered it -- not too sweet but aromatic with a nice caffeine punch. I didn't check out any of the pastries or food but the case did look tempting so perhaps next time! There are a couple of tables to sit and sip your coffee/tea or you can also hunker down at the park adjacent to it. Parking is alas, street parking, so beware if you come at a busy time or park further down and walk over. Service was friendly and I'll definitely be going back to try more of the menu! read more

This cute place has been highly recommended by many people so I went here with high expectations and they don't disappoint. The view from the cafe is pretty great with the Fremont bridge in the backdrop but the best part is the amaze collection of Moroccan coffees that they offer. We had the Moroccan mint tea, the sage tea and the pistachio latte. Every one of them was epic in itself. The caprese panini was good too. I will definitely be going back to this place to try out other things on their menu. read more

I stumbled into this coffee shop after a doctors appointment nearby. I was not disappointed. First off it was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very courteous and very pleasant to interact with. I ended up getting a Morrocan drip coffee, it was superb nice and flavorful full of spice and full bodied. The shop has many Morrocan options and regular options and even offer energy type drinks like the big competitors. Definitely will come back ! Another bonus was that it was very reasonably priced ! Yum yum read more

There are some places where you need to go out of your way to utilize their service or business. Our daughter, a giant fan of any type of Boba or Boba-like drink, insists that no matter where we are in the city, we go to Ovation. I think it may be her favorite place in the whole world. Well, that's not true, because her barn where she has access to her horse her favorite place in the whole world. read more

COVID Situated between a few high rises, this colder place is nice and interesting. The interior design is more industrial looking, but their drink menu has good choices. Tried the Moroccan spiced coffee, it's too strong in spiced but hot enough. The pistachio steamer is delicious, so is the pistachio latte in regular milk. Wish to try other items next time, their coconut scone looks nice too. read more
