Bison Coffeehouse

Tips from the community

One of the seemingly few coffee shops (I think) that serves a variety of roasters, local and Native. Not Native as in "I am Portland Native." I think its actually pretty harmful for white folks to say that. The Portland metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes and bands. With that being said, this is the only Native owned coffee shop in Portland. The pastries are all made in-house and are incredible, the coffee good. I felt really cared for when I was here, it is a really cozy and warm place. This space is left off a lot of "Best of" lists, perhaps because it is not in line with the design aesthetic of the other's, but it deserves to be, because it is definitely one of the best!

    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.
