Charming spot for lunch and to catch up with friends. Good amount of seating and food and beverage is yummy.

When they take your order and say I'll bring it out to you, and the don't. 1 Star for location 1 Star for cool facility with indoor and outdoor seating 1 Star for good breakfast bagel and coffee read more

Walked by here on my way to the Sherwood Saturday Market and decided to stop in. From the outside you can see this is a community spot. Lots of outdoor seating. People talking to each other. Most of the people seemed to know each other. I ordered a small iced latte with oat milk and a scone. The latte was expensive but tasted fine. The scone which is made out of house was absolutely yummy. Nicely flavored and not at all dry. read more

Symposium Coffee - Raspberry Jam Scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

Quaint little shop with good coffee, and pastries. I had just regular coffee that came with a refill. Good coffee, could've been a little hotter. Ordered a scone to go with it, and it was also very good. They aren't made in-house, but whomever they get them from does a very good job. It was a very delicious scone. Staff was nice and answered all my questions. They also have regular food "provisions" and a very good selection of whiskeys if that's your thing. Only issue is that at the time of this writing their bathroom was out of order. They directed you to the library, or the port-a-potty outside. I'd choose the library. The potty was grossy gross. read more

Great coffee, great pastries, great vibes. My iced white mocha was perfect, my husband loved his black coffee, and the blueberry scone + chocolate cookie was amazing. Super chill atmosphere and quick- efficient service. Highly recommend!!! read more

We always stop here during our Oregon trips. They have great coffee. They also offer the option to add a shot of liquor to your drink. We arrived at opening this morning. The temperature was a crisp 25 degrees. The lattes were exactly what we needed. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed our drinks in the upstairs seating area. We highly recommend this spot. read more

What a great little coffee shop. we went there for a quick business meeting and sat out in the great sunshine! The team was quick and had our drinks out before we had round a table. a really great old house downtown that really takes you back to the old era of great little towns and saying hi to everyone. great attention for pets, with water available. read more

This place is the coziest! I made the trek from Happy Valley to Sherwood and it was well worth it. I ordered an iced vanilla matcha and my boyfriend tried the vanilla bourbon latte. Neither of us were disappointed, but the bourbon latte was truly incredible. We (unintentionally) came on the day of a huge parade. The line was out the door, but the staff handled it well and kept things running smoothly. We hid out upstairs on a comfy couch and enjoyed the quiet retreat from all the hustle and bustle below. The prices are a bit steep, but they make quality drinks and provide a comfortable spot to linger. I'm sure I'll be making the journey to Symposium again in no time. read more

Had a business meeting here over coffee and a pastry. Pastry was delightful, coffee was a drip with cream, nothing fancy, but a most perfect cup of coffee. Always been a great place to go to eat, sit, even drink (they have a whiskey and bourbon offering). read more

My favorite coffee place in the area! This place has the cutest atmosphere, but the reason for my 5-star review is because of the almond milk hot latte with peach and pistachio flavor. My daughter LOVES the chocolate muffin. read more

Went here for the first time last weekend and it was absolutely lovely. I got a black coffee with salted caramel syrup added in, and my partner got a dirty chai! We also got the BLTA to share. Food-wise everything was great. We are coffee LOVERS and the coffee here is very good. The dirty chai was very well spiced and just delicious. The BLTA likewise did not disappoint!! This place is unique in that it has an upstairs space. We came to study and we got a bunch done. All around were other people getting work done, and some groups just chatting and enjoying themselves. Throughout our time here people also congregated outside under the patio, chatting (even though it was pouring!!) Overall I picked up a cozy community vibe at this coffee shop. Service was great, and the staff were very friendly and patient. There are plenty of spots with outlets, and thus I highly recommend studying here!! read more

Finding non-chains in this area seems to be a struggle so I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this place, which is less than 5 minutes from my Pilates Studio. It oozes charm. It is obvious it used to be a home that has since been converted into a coffee shop, but they did such a great job. We sat upstairs, which had overstuffed arm chairs, and a couch, along with a few tables. I enjoyed the wood work that matched the stairway leading up to the second level. I had a salted Carmel latte, with a raspberry scone. They make their own caramel syrup, and the scone was stuffed with a generous amount of rasperries. Both were delicious, and I am typically not a scone fan, so that is saying a lot. I noticed some other Yelpers commenting on the lavender latte, so my plan is to try that along with the boozy drinks, when I am not on my way to work. read more

Love their salted Carmel macchiatos! Their outdoor seating on their front porch was wonderful...enjoyed our coffee while we sat and people watch. read more

Friendly service. Fantastic coffee. Cool space. It's one of the best coffee spots in the area. Definitely recommend. read more

I love a particular latte at this coffee shop- the lavender latte. It is pure perfection. There are other shops who may serve this same kind, but theirs is amazing. Cold or hot every drop makes me smile. I just feel like it's happiness in a cup. I recently went there and was pleasantly surprised that there is a whiskey bar! Another favorite beverage of mine. It is the cutest spot on Main Street. There are a few outdoor spots for sitting and sipping if that is more comfortable for you. The interior has a lot of space. Next time I will pick up some lunch with my lavender latte. Bonus - they also sell lavender simple syrup made in house. read more

I was looking for something for breakfast without going to a restaurant. A local guided me here. Cute little place. Lots of outdoor seating. Based on other people's comments I'm thinking the menu is reduced because of Covid lifestyle right now. Ordered a breakfast bagel. More expensive than my own local coffee shops (10 miles away).

What a treasure to stumble upon in Sherwood! Finding a place that makes a traditional cortado outside of a big city coffee house is rare and when they make that cortado perfectly... well, I can tell you it's a wonderful delight to find. I arrived just shortly before closing time but they still made the cortado in the traditional glass cup (great customer service!) and for a snack, I chose the only baked good left in their bakery case which was a slice of apricot ginger pecan bread. The cortado was yummy, the snack was tasty, and yes, I'll definitely be back. Next time I think I'll order a sandwich with my cortado :D read more

Symposium Coffee - Rachel with Fauna & Lilly Belle. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sherwood, Oregon

Very pretentious and snobby person at the register. Coffee is average but super expensive. My drink, 20 oz Almond milk mocha, if I could order it, would cost $9.25 here. At my favorite coffee cart, Cravings PDX it costs $5.75. They don't even do drinks bigger than 16oz here. My Mocha doesn't even taste like chocolate. I wanted to move to Sherwood but I'm reconsidering since there is not a good cafe. read more

I love this coffee house! They have great beverages and the people are amazing. The seating is plentiful and comfortable.

Symposium Coffee house is a real plus for the community. It's in the old downtown area of Sherwood, with indoor & outdoor seating. The owners are such kind people, as well as their staff, you always feel welcomed. The coffee they serve is a 10, and they have some yummy pastries too! read more

Cozy coffee shop with seating upstairs and a small food menu. Their bourbon chai was delicious!

Bizarre torture porn art on the walls. When I'm putting cream in my coffee, I don't wanna read about bronze age carpenters having nails driven through their limbs. Service was good, coffee was ok, wall of booze behind register doesn't really match coffee shop. Feels like they can't decide what they are. 2 stars for service and outdoor seating. read more

The service is always wonderful. The food and drinks are to die for. The ambiance is friendly and warm. Everyone who is there is generally friendly and kind! read more

Try the Douglas fir flavor in your latte! It sounds wild but it is truly delicious! You will not regret it!

BEST lavender latte I've ever had. It was absolute perfection! Came by on a Thursday morning and it was quite busy. I ended up getting my drink togo but there's plenty of seating inside and outside plus an upstairs. The atmosphere here is very laid back and I love the "home-y" feel. I'll definitely want to come back to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book on their patio. Great place to do some work, study, or catch up with friends. read more
