I recently visited Tea Loft again after a long hiatus. I wasn't expecting much since my first visit…read moreduring their grand opening left me underwhelmed by their milk teas; however, this recent visit was notably more pleasant. The tables and chairs appeared well kept and the interior was decorated nicely. I was kindly greeted and my order was taken promptly. While waiting for my drinks, it felt overly warm inside the establishment but not sure if that was weather related or if it was their A/C. The matcha drinks were quite refreshing and tasteful. I ordered them less sweet and felt like it was appropriate because it didn't mask over the umami and astringency notes of the matcha.

I've been to other locations but taking a meeting here marked my first time. At first it was just a…read moreregular coffee shop and then it hit me... they were offering Negronis! This was going to be special for sure. Sadly, no before lunch booze for me but the mocha was delivered quickly and as ordered (not a complicated thing but man, the number of times coffee shops get anything "special" wrong is staggering). So excellent service! they had peanut butter cookies! They're my favorite and nearly extinct in the wild. Huge win. Being in northeast corner of The Sovereign building there was a ton of window seating. It was pleasant but busy and too noisy for the conversation we needed to have. Fortunately coffee is portable! In any event I'll be back for sure!

Walking into Kaleido, the first thing that caught my eye was the warm orange and green color…read morepalette, which is carried throughout their logo, seating, and interior. The space feels cozy, welcoming, and full of personality. I especially loved the little post-it wall where customers can leave behind anything they want a small detail that makes the café feel even more personal and community-driven. What I ordered: Soft Cream Matcha One of the creamiest matchas I've ever had! The soft cream was incredibly fluffy and smooth, while the matcha itself was bold enough to come through with every sip and also had a coconuty essence to it. It had just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. If you love a rich, creamy matcha, this is definitely one to try. Es-Yen A classic Thai-style iced coffee made with condensed milk. This was strong, sweet, and definitely had that much-needed wake-me-up effect! The condensed milk gave it a creamy sweetness while still allowing the bold coffee flavor to shine through. It was the perfect balance of sweet and strong exactly what I needed. Buttered & Sweetened Condensed Milk Toast I originally had my eye on the pandan toast, but it's clearly a popular choice because it was already sold out earlier in the day! So I went with the buttered and sweetened condensed milk toast instead, and I'm so glad I did. The toast was crispy on the outside, buttery, warm, and finished with that sweet condensed milk flavor. Every bite practically melted in my mouth. The pandan toast is definitely on my list for next time! My Portland experience was made even better by my stop at Kaleido Coffee. The owners were so sweet and welcoming, taking the time to give me recommendations and making sure everyone was taken care of even during a busy rush. Until next time, Portland!

A very kind security guard opened the front door for us and greeted us with a very big smile. Inside, the cafe is HUGE! it stretches out towards the back and has fun flyers and posters. Very clean and smells like coffee beans! I tried their rose gold latte and my fiancé asked for their cherry vanilla latte, both seasonal items. It was strong and tasted exactly as described. The workers here were kind and patient. Totally worth a stop for a good cup of coffee.

We have traveled the world tasting every type of process from almost every region known to man. I always make it my mission to find the best cup of joe in town, so when I read about Push X Pull, I was hoping it was something we would remember. Luckily, we snagged a parking spot right in front of the shop. As we entered, the baristas were friendly and welcoming. We ordered a drip in a to-go cup and my partner couldn't stop talking about how great the cup of coffee was. We tried buying a bag of Galaxy Hops co-fermented beans, but unfortunately for us they sold out in both locations. Overall, highly recommend! It is the perfect spot to get some work done or simply hangout and talk. There is both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice.

The vibe is definitely small bar coffee shop, probably more grab and go than dine in. For my visit, I opted for two espressos, their house blend and a Coava single origin. Unfortunately, both suffered from a grind that was a little too fine, resulting in bitterness that was overwhelming in each. The single origin had some promise, with some pleasant acidity in the background, but it couldn't break through the bitter. Things were a little better in my wife's mocha, which had a deep chocolate flavor and silky smooth milk, it paired well with the cinnamon knot pastry we shared. Maybe a place to stick with the milk drinks, or at least this was my experience on this day.

The caramel taste homemade and while it may not be for everyone it was a bit over cooked giving the otherwise very sweet drink a touch of bitter bite at the end. I truly couldn't get enough and wish I would have gotten a larger cup. The staff was super nice, and even made a solid attempt at my name. While I didn't stay, the shop was lovely and unique with its tables and floor seating. If in the neighborhood, this is a great spot to pause for a bit between the many shops around. This is nothing on the shop, but I always warn when places are in those older parts of town, ie no parking lot and very small congested side streets around. Be care and slow finding parking as it can be a challenge. For me, this shop is worth it.
