If you're looking for a specialty drip coffee, this is the place to visit! My partner is a certified coffee snob who roasts his own beans. We have traveled the world tasting every type of process from almost every region known to man. I always make it my mission to find the best cup of joe in town, so when I read about Push X Pull, I was hoping it was something we would remember. Luckily, we snagged a parking spot right in front of the shop. As we entered, the baristas were friendly and welcoming. We ordered a drip in a to-go cup and my partner couldn't stop talking about how great the cup of coffee was. We tried buying a bag of Galaxy Hops co-fermented beans, but unfortunately for us they sold out in both locations. Overall, highly recommend! It is the perfect spot to get some work done or simply hangout and talk. There is both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. read more

As far as the shop goes, it was cute and comfy. certainly on the smaller side but fun to hang out in and i especially liked the chairs. i was excited to try a single origin pour over after hearing so much about it, yet somehow their kettle broke when i arrived. not sure how they only had 1 kettle but oh well. i will be coming back to give it a second shot, but i was not impressed read more

When your favorite go to coffee, shops are closed because it past 4 p.m.. A good discovery was Push X Pull. I had a matcha with oat milk unsweetened, hot. It was a nice but mild drink paired well with my lil funky donuts. The coffee was pretty strong, it's late in the day I didn't want to continue drinking coffee. A large americano was ordered, it had a quad shot. Portland has so many coffee shops glad this one did not disappoint. I mainly need strong good coffee before 10 am and a tea after 5 pm. I think I would return again. read more

One of our favorite coffee roasters in the country. When we land in pdx, we cannot wait to get back here and enjoy a wonderful coffee! Got a latte with their Ethiopia natural beans and it was lovely, roasty and bright within being acidic. We were debating between beans to take home and they also let us sample the brewed coffee version of the beans to make a decision, which was super nice. The staff was engaging and attentive, the space industrial feeling and clean and the coffee top notch. Definitely on our must stop lost in Portland! read more

Definitely some of the best coffee in the city, the cafe is bright and cozy, and the seasonal drinks are always delicious. I also appreciate that they are open a little later than most cafes in town. Service is always kind and welcoming! read more

Push X Pull - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The coffee here is great and a coffee shop in Brooklyn recommended as they have a friend who works at one of the locations in Portland. I like the smooth silkiness of the coffee and the bolo muffin was good with that, what tasted like minced meat spiced jam, which was delicious. I don't know what it was, but good. Great service and location and it wasn't too crowded so we were able to get a spot and enjoy the drink and food. Can't wait to try the other little stuff they have in their little bakery section. read more

Push X Pull - Bolo - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have heard so much good stuff about them that coming here wasn't a 'shot in the dark' and maybe the start of a brew-tiful connection. I was fortunate to find parking right away and was attended immediately . I ordered a cappuccino and a cookie and decided to stay instead of having it to-go . The vibe is relaxed and easy and there is plenty of light. The staff was kind and fast . The coffee however felt a little lacking , in my humble opinion it felt slightly acidic and not creamy enough for a cappuccino . The cookie was delicious on the other hand . Even though my first experience didn't knock my socks of , I am still looking forward to coming back to experience that espresso magic that I had been hearing about. read more

I wanted to try a maple macchiato but the drink comes in a smaller size so We tried the maple latte and vanilla latte instead. Both were good. Didn't taste much maple syrup though. Plus point is coffee were sweet enough with a good flavor of coffee still. Not overly sweet. We also got a coffee bean bag to try at home. Only wish they would have a stamp logo brand on their coffee cups. But with this economy everything is so expensive so I understand some places just use simple plain cups. Highly recommend and we would definitely coming back. read more

Push X Pull - Maple Latte and vanilla latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Push x Pull is currently ranked 34th on the world's top 100 best coffee shops list, and it's well deserved! They have a decent selection of roasted beans with unique tasting notes and roasting styles. I wanted to try them all, but ended up buying just two bags of beans and a pour over. All of them were great and I'll probably place an order online soon to try the other flavors. The shop itself is a nice size with plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. The staff are nice too! read more

Push X Pull - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Push X Pull just made it into my Top 10 Portland coffee shops -- and easily Top 3 in SE PDX. I found this gem thanks to a recommendation from a barista at another spot, and I'm glad I followed the lead. Tucked away in Southeast Portland, Push and Pull nails that balance of great coffee, vibes, and an inviting space. Plenty of street parking, friendly staff, and overall just a really comfortable atmosphere. It was my first visit, but definitely not my last. Give it a try -- I think you'll be glad you did. Thank me later. Seasonal Drink Recommendation: Hot Banana Sesame (regular milk). read more

Loved their selection of unique light roast beans. I had a fruity anaerobic natural process batch which was amazing. The staff was helpful and pleasant, and the coffee (tried some drip coffee and a latte) was great in-person. Totally a place to try for a funky brew! read more

Let's start with the great...the coffee is great. But in a town where I can get great coffee in every corner details matter. With ONE HOUR til closing I walked in an EMPTY coffee shop & asked for a pour over. I was refused a pour over because the barista was the only one working. Yes, she was the only one working in an empty coffee shop. I was deciding what to order since my desired drink was denied and I was absolutely rushed...she wouldn't stop asking what I wanted. She knew what I wanted a pour over. She actually could have made the pour over instead of pushing me to make another choice. Also ordered a Matcha latte for friend who is a Matcha freak. They weren't impressed and said the color and taste were off. Maybe at another time with a different barista we will make it to 5 stars. Disappointed. read more

Ughhh I cannot say enough good things! I am more than ready to come again any chance I get. First of all I love the clean semi industrial hip retro classroom takeover vibe happening here. Staff is super helpful and clearly have expertise in their craft. We really had come to get some beans as we had had Push x Pull from other farther away cafes. I was beyond with all of the options that they had. In fact, making a choice to try to somewhat limit the amount of bags was a significant challenge. I could have easily brought home the entire row of clear bagged beans. Truly a great selection with incredible tasting notes. Their cafe menu is excellent with the standard options as well as some house specials. My partner got the pour over which was amaziiiiiing. The tonic special that I ordered was wonderful. I can be kind of picky with mixed drinks, as i feel that the added flavors tend to be overpowering. That was not the case here, as I thought that the added flavors did not overshadow the brilliant coffee flavor. read more

The coffee lived it up to the reputation! I loved my cold brew, it tasted a little fruity. I added oat and oh my, it was so good! I was lucky and we got parking right in front of the shop, 30 min parking and that was enough for the coffee break for us. read more

The ambience, food, and the coffee are all hard to top once you've been to Push X Pull. What even is a Bolo? Does it matter? Get one in Standard Sandwich form and another with the amazing jam (recently was balsamic fig). (Side note: A bolo is a Portuguese muffin, so good it's actually hard to believe... the English have nothing on the Portuguese when it comes to muffins!) The service is so good, each barista treating you like a friend, offering honest recommendations that will lead to an amazing experience each time. The cold brew is so so good. No cream or sweeteners needed. read more

Push x Pull was a great last stop while in Portland. We decided to grab coffee while here. My pour over INCREDIBLE, and my friends really enjoyed their lattes. We all grabbed second drinks (had a lot of time to kill), and they had a pretty decent wine selection. I got a glass of their red and enjoyed it a lot. Service was excellent, there was plenty of seating, and wifi was fast for all of the things we were working on while there. read more

PushXPull is one of my favorite coffee shops because their beans are phenomenal. They know what they're doing in terms of roasting. My chief complaint is their customer service. I have probably spent a couple thousand dollars on their business. Not being able to pour my cup of coffee in a to-go cup when leaving is ridiculous and not standard practice. I found this out the hard way when I had ordered a drip coffee for here and, when leaving, the women kinda snapped at me when I kindly asked for an 8oz to-go cup. I'm on their bi weekly coffee subscription. I'm located in Portland and my bag of beans was routed from Portland to Detroit, then San Francisco then back to my home in Portland on my last order. How odd. I tried reaching out to them to figure out what's going on and there is no way of contacting their business. Their website has no contact information and I called multiple times and no one would pick up the phone. I finally found a personal gmail account linked to their business somewhere on their google business profile but no one ever responded to me. I find it to be very odd that they're running an online business, you can't contact them, and they don't have anyone attending customer service. That's very bad practice. If it weren't for how good the coffee is, PushXPull would be dead last on my preferred coffee shop. I'll update my review once these issues are addressed. read more

Great little coffee shop with perfectly steamed milk and beautiful latte art . Love that they serve in ceramic cups too. I like the minimal interior design - they have some indoor and outdoor tables but I could see it getting packed pretty easily. I got the Suzy with oat milk ($7.25), and it was delicious! The barista was very friendly as well. Was fairly easy to find street parking. Definitely will stop by again! read more

This is a pretty cool place located off Stark. We came here before getting breakfast down the street. I tried their Thirst Trap - which was an expresso tonic with a strawberry and lime cordial. The drink was good and had a unique flavor to it. The people working here were friendly and quick to make our drinks. read more

Espresso is always dialed, drip is always dialed. Great co-ferments, great staff who is always playing great music. Love the roll-y chairs. The projector is a nice touch, too. Truly nothing but love for Push x Pull. read more

4.5 experience on my first visit to this coffee house with a super dope name. Push X Pull is located in a what seems to be an "up and coming" area in terms of new businesses and prospects and with such a welcoming nature they're what makes Portland great. I had a cappuccino with, and this was my mistake, almond milk, 99% of the time I order with oat milk. It was still smooth and rich, and beans really coming through. I wish it was just a hint hotter, but it was still great. The space is simple, maybe too simple as the line to order when long will trap you in, not a bad problem to have. Customer service was genuine and welcoming, I can't wait to return and this is easily in my top 20 coffee experiences I've had in Multnomah County. read more

Push X Pull - Pour over and mole lattte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This coffee shop has a nice set up and atmosphere, but the coffee was bland and flavorless.

Save your money and go literally anywhere else. The matcha at Push and Pull tastes awful -- like they've never actually had real matcha in their lives. On top of that, I was rudely told to put on headphones or end my phone call the moment I walked in, even though the place was already loud with nonstop chatter and music. If that's how they treat paying customers, it explains a lot. A very discriminating environment if you have long hair and a beard they will single you out and make you feel unwelcomed. The seats are also so uncomfortable that my entire lower half went numb. This place needs a complete attitude and culture change. Until then, don't waste your time. read more

Portland is known for their amazing coffee brewers and I took advantage of visiting as many coffee shops that o could during my stay there. Push X Pull was my first cafe stop during my vacation. I could see why this was listed as one of the best coffee roasters in Portland. Friendly baristas, cute shop, great energy and delicious coffee. The iced americano was superb! read more

"Pre-mixed," bottled matcha that sits out on a warm counter all day. Could you imagine brewing all your espresso in the morning and squirting it from a bottle throughout the day? And the cost of a matcha latte from a warm bottle? Still overpriced. read more

Came on a slow rainy Friday morning, great calm atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. We got the Colombian pour over with notes of orange creamsicle and a Suzy latte with a sourdough cinnamon roll. WOW! There is a reason this place is on the top 100 coffee shops list. The fruit notes of the pour over with distinct and lovely and smooth. Cinnamon roll was also very good. We will definitely be purchasing beans from here to enjoy more at home. Can't recommend enough! read more

Stopped by here to get out of the house and do some work. Came in on a Saturday and it had a good amount of street parking available so it wasn't hassle. The place had a good amount of seating available and there was wifi available to use. Not many outlets, so just be aware to have your electronics fully charged prior to going if you'll be there for awhile. Ordered a latte with oat milk and it came out with a cute design. The coffee itself left a bit to be desired. The ratio for milk to coffee wasn't what I would prefer, and the taste of the the grind wasn't as prevalent as I would have liked. The latte was warm, so I wish it came out a little hotter so I could enjoy it for a longer period of time. Not a bad spot overall, but I don't think I'd make a trip out if it unless I was already in the area. read more

Push X Pull has a cool space with plenty of natural lighting, communal table, and then seating area to enjoy your drinks. It wasn't too busy during the time I visited but they seemed to be short staffed so drinks took much longer than expected. Got the standard vanilla latte but it was nice to enjoy in the space with all their large windows to be able to people watch on a weekend. Coffee was solid and enjoyed my cup. Would be open to coming another time to try other drinks and see their service. read more

If I could I would leave a zero star. They treat their customers like shit. Never getting coffee here imagine an employee walking up to you mid conversation on the phone with your partner and tells you to "adjust your phone call" WTF!!!! Mind you they have their loud music playing I could barely hear my partner and in the background a group of loud people. You think you a local coffee shop holds up higher standards but not this place! Now this is a coffee shop not a library, if the loud noise is distracting you then you're working at the wrong place boo. And they didn't even apologize after for the disrespect they doubled down and said that I have no courtesy. I work a small local business and we would never treat our customers like that. In conclusion if you love being disrespected by the baristas come here! read more

The baristas were very nice and friendly. I ordered cappuccino with almond milk and three teas - lemongrass turmeric, oolong, and mix of green and black. Coffee: couldn't make myself drink it. The milk was overpowering the taste of espresso and because of that I couldn't really taste the coffee. Please consider changing your milk brands - Califia tastes like something so artificial I couldn't taste coffee in 6 oz cappuccino. Lemongrass turmeric tea - spicy due to ginger, so try not to over brew like I did! Oolong - very good but tasted like most oolongs - expected something different. Also try to drink fast because it will be bitter. I'd recommend giving people bigger mugs because while I was drinking 70% of tea the rest was so concentrated after a while I couldn't drink it. Black & green tea mix: didn't taste like tea, tasted like hot water with a hint of tea. Regarding the atmosphere: it was a business meeting and we couldn't hear each other so we left as soon as possible. read more

Push X Pull - Cappuccino - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The cappuccino here was good in ways that I didn't know a cappuccino could be good. It was like a great chocolate bar, not so much because of the chocolatey notes (there were some), but because it had a tartness that hit the back parts of my tongue in a way that only great chocolate, sushi, and maybe some pour-overs have .... but I personally hate pour-overs, because they're just too often overwhelmingly sour for my palate. I drink cappuccinos to balance that stuff out, and I had accepted that that would involve some compromise. That might not be the case. read more

The way I see things, there are two levels of coffee shops I enjoy going to: those that are comfy and, while the coffee is average, serve as a nice third space in the community where I can go to get out of the house and hang out. Then there are those where the coffee is bomb, where Portland coffee lives up to its name -- strangely these are usually ever so slightly less comfy to hang out in, with the decor focused on hipness rather than comfort. Form over function, you might say. Push X Pull is one of the latter spaces. Beautiful, trendy decor (love the turquoise motif), slightly uncomfortable chairs and benches. But oh the coffee... the coffee is in that upper echelon that gives Portland the reputation it deserves as Coffee City USA. Every drink I've had has been great, and well prepared by the skilled baristas. Latte art is on point, people. They source and roast their own beans, which are naturally dried. I'm not sure how that affects the flavor, I'm not an expert ok? But it's good. And bougie. Food-wise they have a nice little menu of fresh pressed waffles and breakfast sandwiches on bolo bread; can't go wrong either way. There's also an interesting list of special/seasonal drinks which are all fun to try. My only complaint is here, because in the 2ish years I've been coming to PxP that list has never changed! Minus 1/2 an imaginary star... Overall, this is a trendy coffee shop and roaster whose espresso drinks are in Portland's top tier. read more

Push X Pull - a cup of cappuccino on a saucer - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

An awesome coffee roaster located in East Burnside. There's plenty of street parking and shops within walking distance to eat at, check out, or drink at. I forgot to take a pic but we ordered a bag of their Colombia Finca which had notes of raisins. We ground and brewed that after returning home to CA and it was superb. We visited on two separate occasions and ordered a cortado and iced vanilla latte with almond milk each time. Such a great cup of coffee and some place I'd revisit again and again. The space is quite large and spread out, which works well if you're meeting someone, want to hang out, or stop and work for a little while. read more

Push x Pull makes some mean coffee! For those who love the more modern coffee profile, this shop delivers. The coffee selections were so unique, it is a must-try! The interior is a bit small, so it doesn't make the best hangout spot; however, the windows are nice because they let a lot of sun in. The staff were excellent at answering our questions on the various roasts to choose from. The prices are closer to what you would expect in Portland, not the most budget-friendly, however, worth the experience. The shockwave pour-over was really unique! If they ever have the China LAO XU ZHAI Espresso as an option when you come in, this is one of the most unique shots of coffee you will ever have! For those who love lattes, the Mister Fox Turmeric latte was fun! Altogether, Push x Pull adds freshness and intrigue to the Portland coffee scene! read more

My friend is obsessed with espresso and found this place after doing some deep research. Upon arrival he started a 20x minute conversation with the barista about all things coffee. I definitely learned a lot listening about coffee types, pulls, pushes, flavors and pretty much anything an espresso lover would converse about. The coffee was really good! It makes me want to try more mom and pop coffee shops! This place also has a lot of seating and tables for people to hangout and study or chill. I could see myself hanging out here for a couple of hours if I needed to get some work done, while having a coffee. read more

Relaxed vibes for reading, working, or talking and deliciously snobby coffee without any barista attitude. That's how I'd sum this place up. I can't believe I'd never been here before. I love really good coffee... when it's made into something with cream and/or sugar. I'm not at the level where I can just drink it black. Yet. Push x Pull has good coffee. They roast it in house. When I asked for a recommendation, the friendly barista suggested 'The Suzy' prepared drink for me. It was delicious. Great coffee base with unique flavors on top, all presented with a cute design in a big bright yellow cup. My black-coffee-loving friends went for a straight drip pour. The vibe here is cool. Some folks were working on their laptops, others reading, others chatting or having meetings. Music was good and not too loud. A variety of tables for bar, booth, or table seating. Only thing that would be better is a comfy couch I could sit on all day! :) Wood furniture, teal colors, big windows. The baristas greeted some folks like they were regulars. I signed up for their coffee subscription. It's on the pricey side at $22 per shipment so I probably won't do it for long. But if all their beans are as good as the prepared latte was... then maybe. I'll be back with an update! read more

Push X Pull - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We get coffees and sit down to work, like everyone else here because coffee shops are no longer places for conversation, they are work spaces for lease. Forgot my headphones so now I have to listen to multiple people taking calls, in a coffee shop. The art school seats albeit nostalgic are not comfortable. Then there's the fruit flies crowding the table. I'm ducking and dodging flies. Hopefully one doesn't land in my coffee. The person who took our order mistakenly made it to go, so we can't even enjoy our coffee like others. I've been here once before so I know the drip gets a refill so I ask for one, but the barista says no because I have a to go cup, then asks if I'd like an explanation why, to which I respond "no". The person taking my order immediately leaves the station so now I can't even order. I'm not even being difficult, I just want to carry on with my order, but the barista insists on telling me why even though the explanation is unsolicited. I didn't want an explanation, just to order coffee and sit back down. If you want the free coffee be very explicit that you want a 8oz drip coffee for here. The coffee is pretty good, music much to my liking. If they wanted to live up to the indie vibe at least play music from the records and tapes lining the place instead of just using them as props. I liked drinking my coffee from a mug the first time, but this second visit I saw a different side of Push X Pull. The magic is gone. Portland has so many coffee shops, won't go out of my way to come here anymore. The feeling is mutual I'm sure, because customers here are treated like they are disposable. read more
