Good coffee in a cute space! Yigebe Coffee lives in a small and interesting red building on Sandy. It was quiet when we visited, and I was immediately struck by the quiet and pleasing decor. I ordered a soy milk cardamom latte and it was smooth. Good roast, and the cardamom was infused in house. Points to the barista who understood the request for a pinch of salt and confirmed that regular table salt was acceptable. My sister got a sugar free half sweet caramel decaf americano with heavy cream. There is seating on the ground floor and upstairs. The place was a delight. I would love to explore the history of the building and the woman for whom it was named. read more

when I saw such high reviews, we just had to come try it out. It was really good (4.5 stars), and lived up to the hype. The barista was friendly and explained everything, and that they roast their own beans. We tried two drinks, and both were very tasty. I like the strong flavor. I saw they have a spiced tea, I want to try that. It would be nice if they had simple syrup, I had to get more sugar just using raw sugar, wasn't sweet enough for me. Unique shaped building, and looks like they are building a covered patio area. read more

Should have come sooner! The last time I had coffee in this space it was a different owner/company. I wasn't impressed, so I didn't come back. But now that it's Yigebe, I've been in twice and will keep coming! Prices are reasonable. Food and drinks are good. Staff is friendly. Vibe is homey. It's great! read more

Great place to be on a Sunday afternoon. The baristas were relaxed and friendly. This made our experience a great one!. My iced mocha was spot on, and we enjoyed a few savory lentil Samosas. The ground floor space is beautiful with plenty of seating and windows for excellent views of the area. The upstairs loft is large and comfortable. Some really cozy couches, too! Thank you, Alexis, for letting us know about the history of this coffee shop. read more

New owners spent care and money on the renovations. While it was fine the way it was, it's much cozier now. You might not notice the difference between Ethiopian and Nicaraguan coffee if you order lattes, flavoring, etc., but plain black I definitely prefer Ethiopian. The price point for a small Flat White is a bit high though. I look forward to trying their Ethiopian spiced tea (they were out) and four-shot "reverse Americano." Their specialty breakfast sandwich was satisfying: I opted for a fried egg instead of boiled. I wish they'd warm the croissant. The crew is from Sandino's, nice gals. A great spot for solo coffee or to meet friends. read more

I came in off of Sandy Blvd and it was hard to find parking, but I didn't mind walking up one block. I ordered an oat milk latte with cardamom and it was pretty good. The milk was steamed perfectly and not burnt, and the cardamom was very mild. I usually prefer the taste to be a bit stronger. The service was great, and the barista was efficient with the orders. The inside has beautiful photos from Ethiopia and a nice energy. There is a long countertop and stools (with back support) along a window, as well as tables and chairs. This is a great spot to work remotely or read a book. Outside, there are two picnic tables and a bike rack. read more

This coffee shop is under new ownership. They took over about 5 months ago. We liked the previous coffee shop, but we like the new one even better. The owners are from Ethiopia, the country of coffee. They export the coffee beans directly from their friend over there. It is minimally handle where they roast it in small batches. They have a nice selection of treats. They also have African sambusek which is made by the owner's friend. They have small seating downstairs, but awesome seating area upstairs. We will be back soon. read more

My husband adores Ethiopian coffee so we were excited to try this place nearby. His coffee ticked all the boxes, meeting and exceeding expectations. I chose a ginger lime tonic, a hot concoction of fizzy water, ginger juice, and lime juice warmed to perfection. The raspberry scones were a nice accompaniment, and we enjoyed the cozy upstairs seating area. Friendly efficient service, delicious offerings, and cozy environs. Their menu doesn't mention decaf but they do have it, so I'll try some next time. read more

Yigebe Coffee is the real deal! Great coffee & food, excellent service, incredible overall!

Ethiopian coffee should be experienced by every coffee-lover, as coffee's origins can be traced to Ethiopia. This Ethiopian-owned café had a very clean bathroom and stylish space, plants/arts/coffee roaster integrated. The super friendly baristas shared that the owners frequently roast the beans in house, so their coffee grounds stay fresh for our beverages. That's a communal coffee tradition I experienced firsthand in Ethiopia. While in the Motherland and right in Portland at Yigebe, I drank "Addis Tea" a spiced tea, good if sweetened with honey or sugar. AND at Yigebe, they have some amazing baked goods like an incredible almond paste croissant, which the barista warmed for me to flaky warm pastry perfection! Conversation with barista Jolene was a highlight, and everyone working at Yigebe was sunshine in this winter-rainy city. Salaams and blessings, Yigebe! read more

Also, just listening to their interactions with other customers - lovely, warm, and connecting! The space is cute, quaint and gives off a charming warm space. I'll be sending all my people here.

New isomers hip is awesome! Food and especially coffee and great. Awesome find. Totally recommend .

The best coffee in all of Portland! The atmosphere is welcoming and the customer service is Amazing!

I love being able to walk to an independent coffee shop and get consistently good coffee that isn't overpriced. The baristas are also very friendly without feeling forced. The egg sandwich is a good option if you're eating there. Minus one star as their pastries could use some work and a Wi-Fi upgrade would go a long way. read more

Cute and clean! Good selection of drinks. Fresh roasted and ground organic coffee. Yum! Service was great!

Coffee is fantastic here- and you can't find happier, more welcoming staff. Beautiful space to hang out and tables outside to enjoy the sun.

Ethiopian Coffeee!!!!! The taste the smell take to back to the Injera Table with all the fixings. So good

There's so much to love about this cute casual neighborhood coffee spot. Delicious coffee, welcoming staff, and good food. Try the special breakfast sandwich (it's not hot but don't let that sway you) - hardboiled eggs, avocado, lox, and an amazing spicy spread on fresh bread. Amazing. read more
