United States Oregon Portland

Albina Press

A cozy, independent café renowned for expertly crafted espresso, a warm ambiance, and a haven for coffee aficionados seeking quality brews.

Tips from the community

This was my local coffee shop for years and it has had some of the most recognizable Portland barista and roasters come through its doors as employees and supporters. Two employees left and started cafes of their own, Barista and Coava. Albina Press is in fact now serving Coava beans and its high standards for barista skills remain the same. This is one of the first places on the list where it really is totally acceptable to have your head glued to your laptop, plugging away at work or your next chapbook.

    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.
