I really like the taste of Puff Coffee, who described their business as a "teeny tiny" roastery. Their individual bags are $24-28 which is too high for me to buy to make at home regularly. But their drip in store is $3-4 bucks, lattes and cold brews are $5-6, which is totally doable for a nice treat. They've got delicious pastries, and it looks like they do bagel and donut pop-ups, as well as bring out a food truck on occasion. Located at the corner of Stark and 28th. Parking can be tricky immediately nearby so walk/bike/bus when possible or park in the neighborhoods and walk a few blocks. read more

Super cute place. Opened the door and enjoyed a wave of coffee scented air. Had a perfect cappuchino here - balanced, yet robust flavor. I was too late in the day for baked goods but will need to stop by again. Art everywhere and lots of mushroom art. The cashier/Barista was alone, possibly because it was pretty late in the day but even with 4 people in line, she kept her cool and was welcoming and friendly to every single customer.....impressive. read more

Pretty expensive coffee spot just off of Stark. Got a cappuccino and a shot of espresso and it came out to $8! Cute and small inside with a nice whimsical vibe.. various vintage coffee machines and porcelain fairies/mushrooms. They were playing Bob Marley so it didn't really go with the indoor theme, but the baristas were nice enough and the coffee was good. I've heard good things about this place, and although the coffee was good, it was way too pricey. Probably wouldn't come again. There are a lot more coffee places to visit in this city. read more

This low key neighborhood spot was the checkpoint for our run on a wonderful drizzly morning! I got an iced vanilla latte and my partner got a cortado--both yum. The decor was so cute and sci fi themed; think ET and alien-esque ceramics. We were so sweaty and endorphin-happy when we got there and the baristas were kind enough to give us a second to catch our breath ha. ‍Brownie pts added for chill vibes and runnable location. Speaking of brownies, we did also get a vegan coconut flake muffin that got me tapping my feet and energized for the run back! Yippee 4/5 read more

Really cool vibes and coffee! I've seen Puff a couple times heading to Belmont and I always told myself to stop by and check it out. Was in the area one day and ended up getting a parking spot right in front so it was the best way to get coffee. It's a cute little corner shop that does have some parking but it's shared with other businesses - better to just park on the street though. Just stopped by quickly to grab a latte but the staff was friendly and plenty of natural light inside and small covered outdoor area. Definitely look around the place for the art and trinkets that decorate the place. Coffee was solid and would recommend checking it out! read more

A friend and I were taking a walk and trying to find a place to eat. We ended up at Stark and 28th, and decided we could use some caffeination. I'd heard that Puff took over the old Canteen space, so we decided to give it a whirl. It's small, I believe they are also a roastery, but they do have a few tables, a counter with chairs and basic coffee drinks. The guy running the show was super friendly and chill, we liked him quite a bit. I also really liked the macchiato he made me, the best one I've had in town. It was slightly creamy against the bitterness of the espresso, perfection. My friend got hot cocoa and said it was good. They also have a small selection of pastries. I had a croissant and the gentleman working there said they are sourdough croissants made by a local bakery. It was really, really great! My pal had the ginger cookie and seemed to enjoy it as well. We're eager to stop by here for a coffee in the future! read more

Puff Coffee is a new project by Duane Sorenson*. They roast small batches from very select small growers, selling packaged coffee. Puff sometimes bids for small batches of beans in grower competition auctions. This is his new cafe. The opening menu is very small to start, espresso drinks from their most popular blend. More will come. The cafe has a cute simple Kinfolk interior, an outdoor side shed to the West seating area, and some outdoor full weather seating North. Turntable and vintage sound system. Shaker hook shelves, marble tables, bentwood chairs, plants, and fresh marigolds. We are excited to see Puff Coffee unfold and taste more of their beans! *The book Caffeinated PDX by Hutchens covers the history of Portland Coffee. Sorensen is in the book. He did other creative food and drink things since, to Puff now. read more

This is one of those spots where you have to beg for service and make your presence known. Honestly, the coffee isn't worth the effort, and the staff's dismissive attitude only adds to its bitterness. Another reviewer joked that maybe they cater to a niche crowd that enjoys a little morning humiliation with their latte. Personally, I'm not into that, so I'd recommend going elsewhere if you'd rather start your day without a side of bad attitude. read more

I was interested in so many choices on their matcha. Horchata iced coffe, orange latte, strawberry Ube matcha. I asked the barista if they do exchanges or remakes for drink if the customer dislikes what they ordered. She mentioned they have a NO REMAKES policy. I knew it was time to lock in instead of trying something Willynilly. She was super patient with me as I wondered what to get and discussed my hesitations. She let me sample a tiny amount of the strawberry uber syrup and lavender to make my decision and it helped. I ended up getting and iced lavender matcha and didn't regret it at all.

Pip's donuts is a must-stop every time I'm in Portland, and I make a point to bring every visitor…read morehere. My first visit was on my birthday, so I got a free dozen doughnuts - such an amazing deal! The doughnuts are the perfect bite size, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors. I also love that they're more old-fashioned cake-style than light, yeasty doughnuts. My favorite flavor is the Raw Honey & Sea Salt. The flaky sea salt perfectly balances the sweetness. They rotate flavors often, but Raw Honey & Sea Salt and Cinnamon Sugar are always available. The chai flavors are also excellent, especially the King & I, inspired by Thai pandan tea. It's warm, lightly spiced, and packed with flavor. Consistently delicious, fun seasonal flavors, and always worth the stop. One of my favorite donut shops, hands down.

Pip's one of those places that makes Portland feel like Portland. This beloved local institution…read morehas earned their reputation through their delicious donuts, but also a commitment to community over competition. They offer both donuts and chai. For me, the star of the show is the donuts. These delectable morsels are crafted in front of you so they come out fresh and hot. There are a variety of flavors and I've heard whispers of a secret menu... Check their Instagram for more info there. While I do gravitate towards the donuts first, I know they are also famous for their chai. So if you are a chai fan don't skip that option here. I just had a chance to interact with their mobile food truck at an event, which was such a fun aspect to the overall event. I got a quad of donuts and a chocolatey chai! Also I will say this: Pip's offers a free birthday dozen, which is incredibly generous gift. My birthday falls around the holidays so I usually can't make it in, but I want to be clear that I have absolutely zero complaints about that. Adults, especially, should never grumble about not receiving a generous freebie. The fact that they offer it at all speaks volumes about the kind of business they are!

I just got back from Thailand and CRAVED the Thai Matchas and Thai Tea that I loved, but my stomach…read morecouldn't.. We loved everything that we tried!

Walking into Kaleido, the first thing that caught my eye was the warm orange and green color…read morepalette, which is carried throughout their logo, seating, and interior. The space feels cozy, welcoming, and full of personality. I especially loved the little post-it wall where customers can leave behind anything they want a small detail that makes the café feel even more personal and community-driven. What I ordered: Soft Cream Matcha One of the creamiest matchas I've ever had! The soft cream was incredibly fluffy and smooth, while the matcha itself was bold enough to come through with every sip and also had a coconuty essence to it. It had just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. If you love a rich, creamy matcha, this is definitely one to try. Es-Yen A classic Thai-style iced coffee made with condensed milk. This was strong, sweet, and definitely had that much-needed wake-me-up effect! The condensed milk gave it a creamy sweetness while still allowing the bold coffee flavor to shine through. It was the perfect balance of sweet and strong exactly what I needed. Buttered & Sweetened Condensed Milk Toast I originally had my eye on the pandan toast, but it's clearly a popular choice because it was already sold out earlier in the day! So I went with the buttered and sweetened condensed milk toast instead, and I'm so glad I did. The toast was crispy on the outside, buttery, warm, and finished with that sweet condensed milk flavor. Every bite practically melted in my mouth. The pandan toast is definitely on my list for next time! My Portland experience was made even better by my stop at Kaleido Coffee. The owners were so sweet and welcoming, taking the time to give me recommendations and making sure everyone was taken care of even during a busy rush. Until next time, Portland!

Since I saw the pictures of their pie, I knew I had to get my hands on one! I am a BIG fan of…read morechocolate cream pie and theirs was so good - totally lived up to the hype! Their pie crust looks like it would be thick and hard, but it is actually quite thin and flaky! There is a very thin layer of crust at the bottom, so the pie was mostly chocolate and cream which made it so airy and not dense at all. It also wasn't too sweet which I love!!! I wanted to try their coconut and banana cream pies too, but I was full from my lunch so I guess, next time!

We love coming here to get our pie! The Boysenberry Chiffon Pie was absolutely delicious--creamy,…read morefluffy, and light, with big, juicy boysenberries tucked into the filling. It's like a little slice of pink paradise! The Blueberry Victoria was also really good, with a delicious lemony twist that added a bright, refreshing flavor. We also bought a couple of whole pies to take home. The crust has a perfectly crisp bottom, while the fruit filling is thick and jam-like rather than watery. It's sweet but not overly sweet, with that wonderful homemade taste. Definitely one of the best pies I've ever had in Oregon! The pies are a little pricey, but the quality and flavor make them well worth it.

Just the tip of the iceberg...

I had a matcha latte that was balanced + smooth. I ended up grabbing a tin of their matcha that was milled in Oregon to take back home with me. Definitely one of my favorite matcha stops in PDX!

Nice of them to have on the side, but if I am getting a drink with syrup in it I hope it would be enough. I want to try their other drinks and give it another try. There's some seating inside and you can sit in front of the baristas and watch them make drinks. My friends enjoyed the strawberry matcha and blueberry matcha.
