Great little coffee shop for caffeine delights and something to eat. Friendly awesome service and the seating area is quite spacious and comfortable. I had a triple espresso and a egg and sausage and cheese bagel. Both were outstanding !

Two girls are cheery and get your coffee and sandwiches quickly, not much of wait. They are gracious enough to allow us have our pastry.along with our coffee and croissant egg sandwich with veggie meat. It is small and intimate, like the atmosphere.

Whenever I’m in Portland, I come here for great coffee and amazing service. The barista is what makes this place worthwhile. Thanks to her recommendations, I not only get great drinks when I’m here, but I also can get the coffee beans they sell! This is my go to on Saturdays!

Hands down the best place for a quiet breakfast if you want delicious food and delicious coffee. The owner's girlfriend has been here all 3 times with a very gracious, welcoming smile. The place is very clean and kept up with the times. You won't regret stopping in.

Delicious coffee and wonderful staff and location. Well-lit, comfortable seating, good variety of food and drinks. I had a seasonal coffee (Dolce something pumpkin spice?), tiramisu in a cup, and some delicious chocolate dessert on a cup. All were fantastic and the prices were reasonable. I wish I could take this place with me when I go back home!
