I cannot believe I haven't reviewed Brickhaus yet. Where to…read morestart...if you want a comfy coffee shop to pass the time, get your own. This one is mine. Okay. I'll share. Fun themed drinks and the pastries are pretty good. The staff are fabulous and make an effort to remember you in some fashion. I didn't go for 6 weeks, walked in, and they remembered my drink and the time after my name as well. Their actions to help the community are also commendable. I have always felt welcome here and if they were closer to my apartment, I'd be there every day instead of just most weekends.

My daughter and I were excited to find this gem! The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff…read moreis warm and friendly. There was ample seating to suit every mood (table and chairs, comfy chairs, and comfy sofas with plenty of outlets and side tables). There's a fun and fresh local artist goods shop tucked in the front corner. It's a perfect place to find a gift for yourself or others. The menu is a nerdy dream come true. When we visited a couple of weeks ago in May, the themed drinks were Lord of the Rings and Mario. I had the Gondor, which, if I recall, may have had hazelnut and cinnamon. I DO recall that it was delish. I forgot what drink my daughter ordered, but she enjoyed it as well. I look forward to coming back and trying their London Fog, which is one of my favorite drinks and seems to have significant praise from other reviewers. We didn't get an opportunity to try the food, but look forward to in the future. One refreshing surprise is that this is a no-tip establishment. I don't recall what I paid for the drinks, but I appreciate places that charge what they need to make their business work and to (hopefully) pay their employees a living wage. Brickhaus is rooted in community and belonging, and I am here for it!

Loro Coffee is one of my favorite places to treat myself every once in a while. I always order the…read morebacon and arugula egg sandwich, and it never disappoints. It's packed with savory flavor, and the egg has an incredibly light, cloud-like texture that pairs perfectly with the bacon, peppery arugula, and the rest of the ingredients. It's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. Their lattes are just as impressive. I've tried both the ube coconut latte and the black sesame latte, each made with plant-based milk instead of regular milk. The ube coconut latte was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. The black sesame latte, however, was the standout for me. It had a rich, nutty flavor and is hands-down my favorite of the two. I don't believe it's a regular menu item, so if you happen to see it, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Loro is on the pricier side, which is why I don't visit as often as I'd like, but I genuinely think it's worth it. The quality of the food and drinks makes it feel like a special treat. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the parking. The café is tucked between apartments and other retail spaces, so street parking is your only option. I've had to circle the block several times before finding a spot, making it less convenient if you're driving. Parking aside, this is a charming neighborhood coffee shop that consistently serves flavorful food and thoughtfully crafted drinks. If you're looking to treat yourself to an exceptional breakfast sandwich and a beautifully made latte, Loro Coffee is well worth the visit.

Salted Maple Latte…read more That's it. That's the review. Iconic drink af. Easily one of the best maple lattes I've had in the entire Portland/Beaverton area. She's not cheap because she knows exactly who she is, and honestly? Fair. The baristas are divas. As they should be. They drink this liquid gold every day. Loro, I love you. If y'all ever take the Salted Maple Latte off the menu... Respectfully I'll come find you.

If you're anything like me, a coffee shop that combines great coffee and sneaker culture is…read morebasically impossible to resist. I stopped by Deadstock Coffee while visiting the area and immediately loved the concept. As someone who loves coffee but loves sneakers even more, this place felt right up my alley. The shop itself is decorated with basketball and sneaker culture, along with iconic sports moments that make the space feel unique without trying too hard. One thing that caught me off guard was that there wasn't a traditional menu posted. As a first-time visitor, I wasn't sure what coffee options, blends, or milk choices were available. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy, and the employee working was incredibly patient, friendly, and happy to walk me through everything. Customer service like that goes a long way. My drink was excellent, and the sneaker design printed on top of the coffee was such a cool touch. It's one of those little details that makes the experience memorable and fits perfectly with the brand. Whether you're a sneakerhead, a coffee lover, or both, Deadstock Coffee is worth checking out. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

I ordered a Luther Vandross (Lavender Latte), Breakfast burrito, and burger with fries since it was after 11am. The Lavender latte was really good, I asked for extra sweet and it was perfect. The breakfast burrito was also delicious. I added sausage, Guac, and mushrooms. It would've been a 10/10 if left off the mushrooms. The burger tasted precooked, not a lot of flavor, just ok. The fries were fresh and hot, and seasoned perfectly. Another good experience at this incredible sneaker-themed coffee shop not too far from Nike. Definitely go for the coffee, you'll love it.

What a great 1st (and not last) experience at Universal Coffee…read more We got a Too Good To Go deal so we thought we'd check this stand out. I ordered a matcha with almond milk and my partner ordered a mexi latte.. both delicious and made with quality ingredients. The space is a walk up counter in the back of a tiny strip mall (I think that's what it's called) Super cute outdoor seating and if you bring the family or not, there are games to play too, in the semi covered yard. The owner (I'm thinking he's who helped us) was so friendly and sweet. We'll be back.

The couches and plants gave it a living room vibe where you can relax.

The drinks were so smooth, and the orange bitters in the Nico Latte was delicious. The Rose Petal Latte was very floral, and both drinks had the perfect amount of sweetness for us. We went looking for great coffee and we definitely found some here!

Matcha review!…read more Excited to try them because I hear good things about their drinks, went in today and bought banana cream and early grey iced Matcha. Both drinks came out with a pretty green color, no clumps, very smooth and were not too sweet. Matcha flavor wasn't too strong but you can taste the matcha still- so if you want more of stronger matcha presence I would recommend adding another shot to the drinks. I'll probably do that when I visit again- Both drinks were delicious. Customer service 10/10 and the place seemed super comfortable and relaxing! I might stay for a bit just to enjoy the cafe next time I visit.

Had a lovely time at Piper's sit down cafe!…read more I've previously done a review for the drive thru (which is a great option for a quick cup), but the cafe is great for a lazy Saturday morning. The service was wonderful, all drinks are made to order and many contain local ingredients. I had the Salted Banana Cream Latte on ice with a house made banana cream. I typically try to switch it up and try some of their other flavors, which are always good, but this drink in particular always feels me back in. And evidently it is a customer favorite because while I was there I heard and least 5 other people after me order it. Sat in a very cute little corner booth that I can imagine would be a good place to study or read in private, today we chose to play Jenga! Among many boardgames the cafe also offers puzzles and miscellaneous art supplies. They also sell a lot of handmade goods, I bought a crochet too from there and it's definitely in my top 10 most complimented clothing pieces I own!

I got the iced banana fosters matcha (standard with oat milk) and it was one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had! You could just tell how high quality the matcha was by the color and taste.

Came in with high hopes, left disappointed on almost every front…read more The croissant looked impressive -- big, golden, seemed like a great pick. But one bite in and it was clear it hadn't been warmed. When I mentioned it wasn't fresh, the staff defended it saying it was made the night before. Exactly my point -- if it was made the night before, warm it up. Even Starbucks does that. It was dense, cold, and not enjoyable at all. The coffee I ordered extra hot, and it wasn't. Within a few sips it was already lukewarm. That's a basic request that should be easy to get right. The atmosphere is okay visually, but it's packed with laptop workers and there's barely any space to sit and relax. People treat this place like a co-working space and give you stares if your kid makes any noise. It's a coffee shop, not a library or an office. And the tip screen before you even taste anything? Hard pass on that concept. I carry cash and I tip based on actual experience -- that's how it should work. Service was polite but dismissive when there was a real complaint. Probably won't be back.

It's in an unassuming small strip, once you go in you see a small little area where they sell cute little gifts and a nice looking seating area. I would definitely return if/when in the area.

If you think you're gonna come here and get your Starbucks experience, think again:…read more Human Bean surprised me... because I actually had to add sugar to my latte... Or rather saccharine, which is what I do. But the drinks here are pure. The baristas here are excellent and I am a former barista, trained by the very particular coffee folks at Port City Java... out of Wilmington NC. I stopped here on the way out of my Planet Fitness not knowing what I would expect or should expect. What I got was an excellent roast with a perfect balance of sweetness, if I did not care for sugar at all. But if you're looking for your corporate coffee chain, this is not it. They also gave me a lovely chocolate coated espresso bean as sort of a finisher. Walk up hang out. There is no ambience to speak of because it's a walk up coffee shop people. You aren't gonna be able to remote work from Human Bean. You want a great cup of coffee you can find it here? But if you like the burnt roast at the Bux... Well, as Shakespeare says, get thee to a nunnery.

They are coffee roasters so everything you can get at the little walk-up coffee window is brewed from their own roasts, and OMG SO GOOD! I refilled my "white girl energy" with a pumpkin spice latte that was rich and creamy and had actual pumpkin flavor on top of their smooth coffee. My partner got a mocha and absolutely loved it! We were both so impressed by our first sips that we asked about the bags of whole bean coffee they sell and the woman behind the counter came out to talk to us about each of the roasts and even gave us free tastings of the ones they had brewed. I'm not a coffee expert at all, but I do know when black coffee tastes good enough on its own that I'm not reaching for cream and sugar like I usually am. We grabbed a bag of Peru San Ignacio and Papua New Guinea, and I'm so excited to brew it at home and I will DEFINITELY be back on our next trip into the city for errands. They're a family run business and they've been here for 10 years so I know we'll be able to frequent them for years to come and I hope you do too!
