• Case Study

  Apr 29, 2016

  I’ve been to the Case Study on Sandy, but not to the one on Alberta (1422 NE Alberta) and I have to say the one on Alberta is far superior. It has good coffee and a fantastic loft seating area. I could definitely come back here to work.

• Coffee House Five

  Apr 28, 2016

  Located right next to PCC (740 N Killingsworth St) this is clearly a college hangout. The interior is spacious and the coffee reasonable. I did feel a little out of place not being of college going age, but if I was back in school, I could see myself coming here.

• J Cafe

  Apr 27, 2016
  

  The only good thing I have to say about the J Cafe is that the coffee didn’t make me sick like it did at Gold Rush. The rapidly renovating Lloyd district is clearly ready for a good coffee shop to come in.

• Pigtrain Coffee

  Apr 26, 2016

  I’m in Denver at the moment so my #pdxcoffeehunt is temporarily on hold until I’m back in Portland, however to keep up the momentum, here’s a cute little shop mysteriously called Pigtrain Coffee in Union Station in Denver’s LoDo district. Good coffee as well!

• Airport Coffee People

  Apr 26, 2016
  

  I’m traveling this week, so the 30 day challenge will pause for a few days, however, I did manage to try a “new to me” coffee shop in the PDX airport. It’s about what you would expect for airport coffee although I will add it’s worse here than the Starbucks.

• Extracto

  Apr 24, 2016

  I’ve driven by this shop (1465 NE Prescott St) a few times but never had the occasion to stop in. Today, I rectified that, and was reminded how much I dislike trendy, cookie cutter coffee shops with bitter, oily coffee. Do you really need 5 pour overs ready to go?

• Whole Foods Coffee Shop

  Apr 23, 2016

  I was a bit more adventuresome today and tried the coffee shop inside my local Whole Foods. They do have a lot of great seating and wifi, but boy howdy is their coffee terrible!

• Arbor Lodge

  Apr 22, 2016

  I had been putting this one off for a while because I was pretty sure it was going to be a good coffee shop, and I was thankfully right. Great seating, good coffee, friendly baristas. I will definitely be back (1507 N Rosa Parks Way.)

  My greatest hope for iOS 10 is that I won’t have to write code any more to move UITextFields and UITextViews on screen when the keyboard appears.

• Cafe Eleven

  Apr 21, 2016

  So I shouldn’t like this place, but it somehow captures the neighborhood coffee shop vibe in a way most others don’t. Located at 435 NE Rosa Parks Way, it’s definitely off the beaten path, and with decent seating and good coffee it felt very comfortable to me.

• Blend Coffee Lounge

  Apr 20, 2016

  Blend is my new gold standard for coffee shops:

  1. Great coffee (choice of Stumptown or Coava),
  2. Lots of seating both indoor and out
  3. Outlets at almost every seat
  4. Super clean
  5. Quiet

  Located at 2710 N Killingsworth, I just wish it was closer to my house!

• Heart Coffee

  Apr 19, 2016

  Working at Heart today which has been on my list to try for a long time. Great seating and location (2211 E Burnside) to work. My only complaint is the coffee which has an oilier, bitter flavor similar to Coava. I do not understand the bitter coffee movement. #pdxcoffeehunt

• Cup and Bar

  Apr 18, 2016

  Got to spend a decent amount of time working here today. Good Trailhead coffee, wonderful open space for working. I liked it a lot. Cup and Bar is one of the few good coffee shops on MLK (118 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd.)

• Wholesome Blend

  Apr 18, 2016

  Had a busy Sunday so found this little whole in the wall (pun intended…) The staff behind the counter were very friendly and the coffee was pretty good. I don’t know why these shops insist on using cloth seating which just collects food and stains though. #pdxcoffeehunt

• Spielman Bagels

  Apr 16, 2016

  I didn’t have a lot of time today, so I ducked into Spielman Bagels (2200 NE Broadway St) and tried their latte. The coffee was a little sweet but pretty good overall. The interior had tons of room and looked like a great place to work in the future.
