    Remarkable fragrance in this place. Since Covid, I've had very reduced ability to smell, but I could definitely smell the amazing fragrance inside of here. The shop is very organized and visually pleasing. Staff members were delightful. We ordered a hibiscus iced tea, a latte, a slice of carrot cake, and a chocolate chip cookie, and all were amazing. Parking is rough. We went around the block about a half dozen times before we finally scored a place, so it may be worth it to park a few blocks away and walk over.

    Such a fun spot to stop by and grab a refreshing tea! They have a lot of variations to choose from. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and the service is amazing! I love the interior color of this establishment.

    We have been meaning to hit this place up for some time now, and it doesn't disappoint! We even found a new flavor to take home! Not all of the teas were for me, and that's what makes this place so great! The opportunity to taste them all without having to commit to a whole box of tea! Loved the staff, very knowledgeable Tea Sommeliers with a gen-tea-l dedication to tea! Seating is close so you hear all the tea, from everyone. The place was up beat, clean and neat, and all about the tea. Edit: we went to the one in nob hill.

    Cheese and tea tasting

    Took my parents here after spending time in downtown Portland since we wanted to enjoy tea and late snacks before our next stop. I've brought other friends here before so I knew it was going to be good. The tea shop is super quaint and they have samples of tea leaves you can smell and create a tasting flight for. What caught our eye was their charcuterie (essentially their cheese and tea tasting flight). The cheese comes from Cowbell (nearby local Portland cheese shop) and is paired with green and oolong teas. What a treat! It was quite affordable (around 20) and the four of us had enough bites and tea. We were pretty full so didn't have enough space for their baked treats, which I recall go really well with their teas. This is a stop you shouldn't miss. So affordable and a good stopping point for a light snack while you're in the area

    Lovely place. We enjoyed their summer seasonal offering there Will definitely return here - cozy and tranquil place to relax...

    Last year's visit- picture of the Tea on Tap Flight

    If you're visiting Portland, Smith Teamaker is a must to stop by for a cup of tea or tea on tap. Last year when I visited it was a very hot day and the tea on tap flight was so refreshing and tasty. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, tea room, and shop! Our tasting was very unique and pleasant. The four different pours were lovely. I have never had a tea with effervescence, which they refer to as "fruitsmithing"- fruits and spices with bubbles. I learned about cold steeping iced tea. The process of using cold water reduces bitterness and highlights the sweetness of the tea leaves. Last week when I visited the shop I had the newest blackberry jasmine iced tea. I loved it so much that I bought a bag to take home with me. This seasonal green tea is so pretty and ranges from a blue sparkling sapphire to a darker blue like butterfly pea flower. The tea makers, employees, are nice and really are experts with their knowledge and brewing skills.

    Staff selected tea flight

    I'm in love, hands down no questions asked in love. Had my first visit in and asked the lovely staff to create me a flight based on their favorites. They asked me a few questions and then selected three exquisite teas for me to try while I enjoyed my delectable almond croissant. I wouldn't have tried 1912 on my own and now it is my new favorite! I do recommend a reservation as this location is quaint and fills up but I got there prior to opening and was able to be seated.

    We had the best time at Smith Teamaker! We both got flights, one was their on tap flight and the other was a flight hot tea that the barista helped curate based on our preferences. They were super knowledgeable about all the different types of tea and gave amazing recommendations. While we were waiting for our tea we walked around and checked out the store area. It was really cute and had a great selection of teas. The tea was really good and we had a great time visiting!

    Tea flight.

    An absolute must stop for me in Portland. As an avid tea drinker this is heaven. I can explore, shop, enjoy all at once. This location is also my favorite of theirs. I like the industrial setting and that it is their manufacturing facility also. Sometimes I just pick up a large bag of loose leaf tea and sometimes I get a specialty drink to go. But occasionally I take my time and enjoy a tea flight. Recently I did one of their holiday blends. Sooo goood!

They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The modern, cool design of the space is top tier. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when grabbing a coffee in Portland. I also love their progressive approach to dairy; they default to plant based milks and there is no upcharge for them, which is a huge win for accessibility and sustainability. ​The Cons: Unfortunately, the experience was completely undercut by the quality of the pour. The oat milk curdled almost immediately. I am well aware that Stumptown uses a more naturally acidic brew, which is a science experiment waiting to happen with plant milks, and I know it is technically safe to drink. However, the separation completely ruins the mouthfeel. ​Instead of a creamy, cohesive sip, I was left with a watery base and grainy floaties. It is disappointing to be told that this is normal when specialty cafes have the tools like barista grade buffers and temperature control to prevent this. While the ethics and the aesthetic are on point, a drink that looks and feels curdled just is not an acceptable standard to serve to customers. ​Summary: Great people, great space, great pricing, but the technical execution of the plant based drinks needs a serious overhaul.

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.

It manages to be effortlessly cool without being intimidating, and the quality of the coffee is consistently top-tier.

They feature a rotating selection of the best beans from across the country (and locally!). Whether you're drinking a pour-over or a traditional macchiato, the flavor profiles are always distinct and expertly pulled. Masterful Latte Art: The baristas here are true artists. Every drink looks like a masterpiece, but more importantly, the milk texture is always silky and perfectly steamed. The Aesthetic: The space is stunning. With its dark wood accents, industrial-chic lighting, and those massive windows looking out onto the cobblestone streets of the Pearl, it's the perfect spot to people-watch or get lost in a book. It feels like a cozy, sophisticated library for coffee lovers. The Staff: Despite being one of the busiest spots in the neighborhood, the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They are always happy to nerd out about tasting notes or help you pick a bag of beans to take home. The Vibe: It's a great balance of "neighborhood regular" and "must-visit destination." It captures that classic Portland energy perfectly. Pro Tip: Pair your drink with one of their fresh pastries--their selections are always fresh and complement a bold espresso perfectly.
