The Top Rated Coffee Shops in Portland, Oregon You Must Visit

Portland takes coffee seriously, and I love that about this city. When I’m judging a shop, I’m not just looking for a cute space and latte art. I want balanced espresso, well-extracted filter coffee, fresh roast dates, and baristas who can actually talk origin and process without sounding like they memorized a script. 

So I built this practical, honest, and detailed listicle for the top rated coffee shops in Portland Oregon based on what people actually use to decide where to go: Google + Yelp ratings, plus the details you need to show up and order confidently.

As someone who genuinely enjoys good coffee—and knows the difference between over-roasted bitterness and a properly balanced espresso—I’ve spent years drinking my way through Portland’s coffee scene. Not just grabbing lattes, but paying attention to extraction, bean quality, roast profiles, and consistency.

I’ve combined Google ratings, Yelp reviews, location convenience, and actual coffee quality into one easy, scrollable list.

No fluff. No paid hype. Just the places that repeatedly deliver.

Ratings, hours, and phone numbers can change. I pulled the info from recent listings, but I still recommend a quick confirmation on the day you go.

How I picked these coffee shops

best coffee shops in Portland

I prioritized places that consistently show up as “top rated” in major local lists and directories, then cross-checked the review volume + rating quality (not just one platform). I also leaned toward shops known for specialty coffee, single-origin options, pour-over, and excellent espresso—the stuff coffee people care about.

Coava Coffee Roasters (SE Grand)

If you like clean, modern espresso with real clarity (not “burnt dark roast pretending to be bold”), Coava is a must. I come here when I want a straight shot or a pour-over that actually tastes like the tasting notes.
