Cute and cozy shop with a neighborhood feel, perfect for these cold and rainy days. Great chai latte, decent espresso. I love that they had a decaf chai option! They serve Coava coffee if you're into that.

Quaint coffee shop that will give you a bang for your buck. I can't tell what it was about this latte that made it taste so unique. I love coffee!

Iced vanilla latte

I've seen this coffee shop many times and finally had a chance to stop by. The location is on the smaller side but it's very cute and clean. Luckily I ended up getting a small table. The baristas were nice and friendly, service was fairly fast considering how many people were there when I walked in. I ordered my usual as I do everywhere I go; a vanilla iced latte. I found the coffee to be tasty but not as flavorful as I usually like, overall a solid latte option. They had some food menu options as well and the avocado toast looked delicious, I know this because the table next to me had ordered it. The only downside for me as someone who typically does work in cafe's is the lack of outlets to charge my computer. Totally fine considering the small location but I would come back again with a fully charged laptop or a journal! Overall cute location in a seemingly quiet neighborhood to sit and enjoy a nice read or chat.

I was visiting a church on a whim up in Portland and wanted to check out a coffee shop before the service started. I found this coffee shop within walking distance and decided to read and journal for a bit. It's quite small, and there isn't much indoor seating. I arrived early so thankfully I was able to find somewhere to sit, eat/drink, and journal. The inside did not have much lighting but I did like the vibe it, it felt slightly upscale rustic and cozy. The food nor service was particularly memorable, but should I ever be in that area again, I definitely would be open to stopping by this coffe shop !

Great quality coffee. Beans available for purchase. Oat milk and a couple other alternatives available. A few small tables to sit at plus bar top seating by the window. Pastries available. Staff were all friendly.

Mocha

This neighborhood spot should be a coffee destination if you're even near the area. Friendliest, most creative baristas who knew so many customers and their kiddos by name. My friends and I were in town for a work trip and came by for my daily mocha fix. Deep rich drink that was the perfect temperature and kept me focused while I worked away. Then the craziest thing happened. I heard matcha and strawberry nesquick and I spun around to see them making a gorgeous layered drink. They asked if I wanted to try it - hell ya!! I savored every amazing sip and felt like I had won the lottery. Hope the matcha flight makes it to the menu dnd thanks for meeting as all my caffeine needs and then some.

Stopped by this coffee shop after visiting a nearby croissant place. The iced latte here is good - nothing fancy, just good espresso and milk combined. I do recommend this coffee place if you're in the area, but it's nothing to write home about and I wouldn't go out of my way just to come here. I was a bit bummed they ran out of the local flavored soda that day, but still a good coffee shop!

Locally owned and great coffee; works for me! I get my hair cut next store and afterwards usually treat myself to an iced mocha. baristas are friendly and love to talk about and explain the different coffees. They also have a small but delicious selection of pastries, muffins and cookies. If you want top notch coffee and pastries, get a pasty from Twisted a little further down the street and a coffee or tea here. The cafe has a clean and modern decor with a bit of industrial vibe. There are just a few chairs and tables inside with a couple of bistro tables and chairs outside as well. Parking on NE Broadway is sometimes tight so park where you can or across the street Which for some reason usually has open spaces.

Bakery case and counter

Probably the most expensive lattes I've seen in Portland that aren't specialty (ie Abba). It was a well-done and tasty latte however likely won't return as can get similar quality for less money elsewhere. The scone I had was also quite tasty but had a significant amount of sugar on the top so after shaking and brushing off all the excess was pretty good. Place is quite small but we were still able to snag a seat but there isn't much room for the line to queue.

Cardamom Spice Latte
Ben K.

In town for a conference, and this spot was close to my hotel. Doesn't get any better! The space itself is quite small, but I was able to find a seat to work for a few hours. The baristas are top notch: creating art with coffee and friendly as can be. I had the Cardamom Spice Latte and loved every drop! Definitely stop by if you're in the area and want a good cup of coffee.

Oat milk lattes and pastries from Twisted Croissant
Grace C.

Small and quaint, Saint Simon knows how to coffee! We originally went to Twisted Croissant up the road (that deserves its own 5 star review, but in summary, go to Twisted!), but my friend and I wanted coffee along with our pastries. The staff at Twisted recommended SS to us and we happily went. And her recommendation did not disappoint! We both got oat milk lattes and they were wonderful. The staff and baristas were really kind and even offered us knives and plates for us to eat our croissants. Although they don't have ample seating, don't let this small storefront deter from their bold, delicious coffee!

I called to see if they were dog friendly and they said they were so my boyfriend and I drove over with our two fur babies. Once we arrived inside, we were greeted warmly by the employees and they kindly instructed us to let them if we had any questions. My boyfriend and I first looked at their menu to see what they had and I love how their menu is themed! They also have lots of pastries both savory and sweet. I got their blackberry Faywild soda (their take on a Italian soda) and pumpkin pie macaron which was tart and delightful. My boyfriend got their white chocolate mocha was he was very pleased with, and he was browsing their TCGs and board games. They have plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your drinks, snacks or to play board games. I cannot wait to come back to try out more of their offerings and to support a neat cafe that is dog friendly!

Back open! Come and git yo' lo-o-ve!…read more JJ's espresso machine quit on him and one of us customers set up a gofundme to raise the $13K or so for a new machine, wiring, etc... and now he's back in business! Y'know, there is so much that made us all chip in. It includes the following..., but the real reason is that JJ really put's himself out there. He wants to know you and let you know him. He has built a huge community of us who love coffee for sure, but also who love JJ! Those other reasons include: -The best espresso from Spella - Drinks like his spin on the shakeratto that are as much performance art as drink - Free, free, free! Biscuits for all the good doggos and hot cocoa for the kiddos (with shaved chocolate, marshmallows, and handmade whipped cream on top!) - hand made gelato of his own making including flavors like maple, scorpion pepper, and so much more! - awesome smoothies and granita - the best chai in Portland (or anywhere that isn't India - such wonderful fellow customers, an international and eclectic lot, from car mechanics to software engineers. Coming on a Sunday is such a great time to find a whole crowd of friends and friendly strangers here So, come on out and join our community and learn what real coffee culture is all about!

Ensures your experience there is first-rate. 10/10 (no pic, I couldn't stop once I started)

Sometimes they drop a DJ event. They were able to bring famous DJ François K for an evening of local DJs from 5PM to 9, then François K to 2. François K began his DJ journey in 1976 in NYC. Essentially it was a house party for well under 100 people with an international DJ at a very reasonable ticket price. Only in Portland. Only at Sonder. The door was polite and the crowd was polite. There were no unwelcome club advances. There was no overselling nonsense and readmission lines. There is an area outside to cool off and converse when the dance floor is steamy. Water in cups that are washed and reused, not landfilled. I had a nice conversation with the owner and have some suggestions for future bookings. It was fun to see a little Melbourne Shuffle break out! One of our previous CMs did some DJing and would have loved this event and the venue. It is also an update of the fern bar, with healthy plants doing well with the South facing window. There is some outdoor seating screened by a wood structure from the parking lot. Get on their socials for special events if you like.

I am now sitting in a nice teak-armed chair staring at the monstrous plants in the windows enjoying a Moscow mule, stuffed with fresh mint, and fresh lime juice. As I write the bartender is hand juicing oranges. For this delicious drink, made with my vodka of choice, the price was more than reasonable. Some time I'll try the slushy of the day. I am not hungry enough to try the food - even so, the menu still tempted me. There are plenty of places to sit - tables, couches, lounge chairs, bar stools. The location is almost hidden, but any map will take you there. Why hasn't it yet?
