  • Bassotto

    2016-04-15 12.12.22Hidden next to Tamale Boy at 1760 NE Dekum, today’s stop reminds me why I’m doing this #pdxcoffeehunt. Bassotto is an absolute gem of a coffee shop disguised as a Gelato place. Great coffee. Awesome environment. Wonderful people behind the counter. Love. Love. Love.

  • Goldrush Coffee Bar

    2016-04-14 15.24.09Located next to the delicious Russel St. BBQ, I have often been curious about Goldrush. I am curious no more. The coffee was decent, but the interior was down right filthy. I likely won’t be back. Can you make out the “Internet cafe” services in the picture?

  • If you’re a basketball fan, then you will likely remember April 13th 2016 for quite some time: -Kobe scores 60 in his final game -Curry breaks the 400 barrier for 3’s in a single season -Warriors break the 95-96 Bulls record with 73 wins

  • The Fresh Pot

    2016-04-13 14.27.36There are surprisingly only 2 coffee shops in the Mississippi district:Locale and Fresh Pot; this one being a bit rough around the edges. Serving Stumptown (Peets?) it had plenty of seating, and despite feeling a bit grimy the atmosphere was generally pleasant. #pdxcoffeehunt

  • This is great and sad on so many levels:

  • Locale Coffee

    2016-04-12 14.18.20

    If you’re in the Mississippi area and looking for coffee, Locale is probably the best option for you. It’s a fairly small venue, but they (fortunately) serve Heart coffee and the atmosphere is very pleasant. This is definitely one I would revisit in the future.

  • Kopi

    2016-04-11 13.03.13

    Nestled next to Screen Door at 2327 E Burnside St, Kopi styles itself as an Asian-fusion coffee shop and mostly pulls it off. The menu is eclectic but the coffee is smartly from Water Avenue. While this might not be the cafe for everyone, I quite enjoyed it.

  • Batter

    2016-04-10 19.42.31

    I cut today’s coffee shop visit a little close today because of family commitments, but fortunately, Batter (4425 NE Fremont St) stays open late with breakfasts. If you want a late night breakfast or coffee, this is one of the few places in Portland you can find open.

  • Seven Virtues Coffee

    2016-04-09 15.00.09-2

    Today’s cafe was another pleasant surprise. Located in the new “Zipper” building at 2705 NE Sandy Blvd, Seven Virtues has great coffee, homemade syrups and a very pleasant, quiet vibe with a decent amount of seating. I will definitely be spending more time here.

  • Bison Coffee

    2016-04-08 09.27.44 HDR-2

    I really wanted to like Bison (3941 NE Cully Blvd) but the coffee was far too bitter for me and the ambiance was a bit too eclectic for my taste. Based on the steady stream of customers, it’s clearly a neighborhood favorite. It’s just not for me.

  • Prince Coffee

    2016-04-07 13.49.27One of the best things about this 30 day challenge is discovering new neighborhoods. Today, I fell in love with the Kenton neighborhood and this gem of a coffeeshop that just opened up.

    #pdxcoffeehunt

  • Fillmore Coffee

    2016-04-06 09.21.10Decent coffee. Fairly good seating and a very good looking food menu. Located at 7201 NE Alisan St, it’s a bit of a drive from my house. Fillmore is a bit further East than most of the coffee shops I generally frequent but overall a nice find.

  • UConn

    What UConn and Breanna Stewart have accomplished tonight is amazing and historic almost beyond comprehension.

  • Tiny's Coffee

    2016-04-05 13.18.43My latte wasn’t bad, and there is quite a bit of seating, but Tiny’s (located at 2031 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd) really feels like a time warp back to the late 90’s at the dawn of the modern Portland coffee shop.

    #pdxcoffeehunt

  • Saint Simon Coffee

    2016-04-04 13.33.31

    Saint Simon is nestled into a hole in the wall at 2005 NE Broadway. It feels a bit like a carbon copy of other Portland coffee shops: spartan decor, Bake Shop pastries and the all too familiar oily, bitter Coava coffee. The staff were incredibly pleasant, however.

  • Miss Zumstein

    2016-04-03 12.28.38

    Located at 5027 NE 42nd Ave, the atmosphere at Miss Zumstein is bright and airy with a lot of natural light. While my latte was good, albeit a bit milky, the wonderful looking/smelling baked goods are what will bring me back for a return visit.

    #pdxcoffeehunt

  • Great article about OSU and their challenge against UConn today. Absolutely love this team. espn.go.com/womens-co…

  • My rules for my #pdxcoffeehunt are simple:

    • The coffee shop has to be in N/NE PDX
    • It must be a shop I’ve never been to
    • I must get a latte at each cafe

  • Twenty Six Cafe

    2016-04-02 11.37.11

    Today, Brendan and I checked out a coffee shop that I've been curious about for a while. The ambiance was pleasant with a fair amount of seating. My latte was creamy and smooth with just a hint of bitterness. Overall I was pleasantly surprised.
