Great coffee!! I got a quad shot cappuccino and it was fantastic with espresso Nice to have it open a bit longer hours too, it can be tricky to get morning or afternoon coffee

Lavender oat milk latte

Simple and to the point coffee shop in the Alberta Arts District. The shop was clean with simple decor and ample seating. There are a few small tables outside, and the tables inside are fairly large; great for working! Staff was very professional and kind, and the coffee was served quickly. There are food options, and they make their own syrup and milks! Pro Tip: Grab a punch card at the counter so you can start racking up the points!

Suppose to be a latte with oat milk.

The ambiance of this cafe had all the signs of great coffee and pastries. However, the cappuccino was far from great. Tasted more like a poorly executed drip coffee. There was no foam, just milk and the coffee tasted bland. The same was also true for the Lattes. The pastries were marginal. I do appreciate the effort and service.

Love this place. Formerly Vita, has more or less the same menu and interior. My go-to cafe anytime I'm visiting Northeast Portland.

Really yummy iced matcha, happy to find a place that uses ceremonial grade. We LOVED their espresso blend in a latte. Great stuff!

“Good cappuccino, delicious breakfast sandwich (ham), so-so cardamom bun (I LOVE pastries so that was too bad).”

ONLINE - Beans, Merch, and some very cool Brew Gear. ALSO - Espresso Catering, Wholesale, Retail Subscriptions (for those living afar or gifting - a worthwhile spend). LOCATIONS - 5, with 1 upcoming on Morrison including drive-thru. I'm back for this Cortado with the Deviation Blend (brown sugar in the raw slowly infusing from the bottom) - it's rich, strong, and straightforward - the way I like my... coffee. Jason brought in Dorian IN BLACK because the coffee is slinging on a Saturday (8 days a week...).

My first coffee shop on a small tour in Portland and Bend. My wife and the family were starving…read moreafter our flight from Dallas, so I dropped them at nearby Bamboo Sushi (highly recommended) and I'd catch up with them after a couple of espressos. I chatted with the barista, he was super nice and had some time to chat, so talked coffee and what they were brewing, which was the house blend and a single origin, I asked for one of each. The single origin was light and fruity as I'd expect, nice acidity and a crisp finish, whereas the house blend, their Deviation Blend, had a stronger body and less acidity, but still managed to get in some good notes of dried fruit and a nutty flavor. Both were perfectly pulled, with nary a bitter or sour note to be found. All in all, a great little quick trip for coffee, a place I'd definitely go to again.
