  • Crema
    • SE 28th and Ankeny
    • excellent coffee and food, always stacked though
  • Floyd’s Coffee
    • Ladd’s Addition circle
    • great coffee and service, fun location to sit and watch the circle, also has wine and snacks at night!
  • PUSH X PULL
    • SE Stark and 9th

  • Futura Coffee Roasters
    • SE Division and 43rd, and NE Glisen and 72nd
    • solid cappuccino, really good vanilla latte
    • well lit, bright, quiet space with very few people in, would be perfect for working-from-coffee-shop
    • the NE location also has really good hot breakfast sandwiches, the caprese + sundried tomato pesto + jammy egg one in particular is super tasty

B Tier

  • Clinton St Coffeehouse
    • SE 26th and Clinton
    • super friendly staff and good bagel sandwiches, great neighbourhood coffee shop vibes, not the best coffee though and gets overrun with local highschoolers
  • Water Ave Coffee
    • SE Water Ave and Taylor
    • pretty good coffee that’s also readily available in many grocery stores around town. Pastries are just ok.
  • Honey Latte Cafe
    • SE 11th and Main
    • good coffee and interesting specials, a couple blocks away from one of the best food cart pods in town (Asylum), would be a good place to work-from-coffee-shop
  • Albina Press
    • SW Hawthorne and 50th
    • solid cappuccino and really tasty pastries
    • I should try working from here sometime, might earn it an upgrade…

    • really friendly staff, the most fun logo, but their coffee is just ok

D Tier

  • Coava Coffee
    • SE Grand and Main
    • coffee is a bit too caffeinated for me, makes my stomach grouchy afterwards. Always busy
  • Stumptown Coffee
    • SW 3rd and Pine
