Stopped for our morning coffee before our road trip. We got a classic vanilla latte and my gf got a…read moreiced chai latte. Both drinks where tasty. The barista was very kind and we a had a nice chat about the area and found out she was from SoCal as well. The interior is nice with seating around the windows, looks like a nice spot to get some work done while enjoying a coffee.

Absolutely my favorite coffee shop in the area and on campus. Total vibe. Super cute vibes inside,…read moreample seating for a small space, and fun decor. Lots of options on the menu, from maple cardamom lattes to a variety of loose leaf teas. Conveniently located in the campus quad, the paradox is a tried and true reed tradition (40 years going strong)! Stop by for a strong cup of joe, witty conversation with a barista, or a sample of the grungiest college tunes.

Absolutely love ordering an iced mocha at the paradox (baristas sky & miles are especially adept at…read morecreating chocolatey & beautiful mochas), and grabbing a seat to catch up with friends. Also a fan of their new pastries! Great selection & especially good when warmed up. Plus, don't get me started on the wide variety of teas available... Never a dull moment at the paradox, I cherish it as my favorite campus coffee shop.

JoLa has become one of my favorite places to spend time in. The Mahsa Chai is hands down my…read morefavorite drink anywhere, and the chicken pesto sandwich is one of those menu items I find myself craving throughout the week. Over the past weeks, I've actually found the atmosphere to be warmer, and more welcoming, and full of positive energy. Like any small business, transitions happen, but what matters to me is the experience I have every time I walk through the door. I've consistently been greeted with kindness, great coffee, and people who genuinely seem to care about creating a place where customers want to stay awhile. One of the things I love most about JoLa is that it feels like a true neighborhood café. Local artists are featured on the walls, it's a wonderful place to settle in and work for a few hours, and there's a real sense of community that you don't find in many coffee shops anymore. More than anything, it's obvious that the owner and management care deeply about the customer experience. They put a tremendous amount of heart into this place, and it shows in the details... from the quality of the food and drinks to the welcoming atmosphere they've created. I'll happily keep coming back, and I'd encourage anyone who's considering visiting to experience JoLa for themselves.

As a daily regular at JoLa for over a decade, I'm incredibly saddened by the recent changes here…read more What used to keep me coming back every single morning was the outstanding staff consistency and the warm, community-driven service. Lately, the energy has shifted. There has been a rapid turnover of the team, and without any of the familiar, long-term staff members who built those customer relationships, the welcoming environment is gone. While the current staff tries their best, the overall customer experience has suffered. After 10 years of loyal daily visits, the lack of consistency has finally pushed me to find a new daily cafe. ****My previous detailed review was taken down. It's incredibly disappointing to see a business I supported for years choose to silence feedback rather than address it. Losing a loyal regular apparently matters less than keeping up appearances.****

Was wondering Sellwood and stepped into Plural Collective and found this coffee on the upstairs…read moreportion. They had a little taster pot with the Peru blend in it and I couldn't resist it. The Peru is smooth and tastes like a medium roast! They have other blends that I'll have to go back and get. Their little coffee area had a few smaller brands that I enjoy but can be harder to track down; Jacobson honey, meadowlands simply syrups, and Bitter Housewife bitters. I'll be back for more coffee and to look at the pottery dishes more closely! Removing one star because as I walked in the door I was greeted by a medium-small dog. It was all passive air sniffing and no contact by the pup but for a child walking with parents, a person with dog allergies/fears, or someone with a dog in their bag it could an issue. A simple hard to miss note on the door saying something like Dog on Duty, would go along way in avoiding potential issues.

The staff is friendly- they gave me a discount just because. Secondly, this was the best iced honey…read morematcha I have ever had. I had to have another.

I will literally drive out of my way just to come to Keeper Coffee in Milwaukie (their new second…read morelocation). This location is such a gem and has a completely different feel from their other coffee shop. They serve brunch at this location and it is fantastic, and if you're not sure what to order, get the oats - they're so good, almost like shrimp and grits! The coffee is always on point, but don't sleep on the pastries either. Everything I've tried has been memorable. The space itself is beautiful, with indoor seating, outdoor seating, and even an upstairs area! It's thoughtfully designed, cozy, and a great place to bring your laptop if you work from home and get some work done with their free Wi-Fi. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. Brittany, the owner, is one of the kindest and most welcoming people you'll ever meet. She remembers her customers, genuinely cares about the community, and creates a space that feels warm and inviting every time you walk in. This is exactly the kind of local business worth supporting!
