Tips from the community

Upper Left is a good place to meet a friend for a quick coffee and chat or to have a quick zoom call, it is for casual hangs and workers alike. The design isn't anything to write home about per say, but they make up for that with darn good, creative drinks, pour over coffees, single origin as well as blends (somewhat unusual in this town), and good lighting. If you wonder into Ladds, check-out the rose gardens, but try not to get lost. I dare you.

    Let's get buzzed on bean juice in the PNW! While the coffee quality is absolutely considered, this list is really about ambiance. Coffee experts don't come at me, feel free to make a list of your own. Who doesn't love a good cafe to work in, get cozy, and / or have an awkward first date at. Hopefully these places will make all those experiences a little more enjoyable. Hey, even if the date doesn't work out, at least you'll have your new go to chill spot.
