I would order this every time I come and I would come a lot more often if this was more in my neighborhood. One not to miss drink if you do drink coffee is the flat white, a coffee beverage of creamy milk over espresso This was my first time trying it, and it’s like a variation of a latte but instead of being foamy on top with the milk, it feels more smooth and creamy with the milk mixture. It is high end coffee – you can expect cups of coffee drinks that are around the expected $4-6 range, but that’s per cup, and the specialty beans are single sourced premium that can range from $15-$30.īut I found it worth it, at least for me – I often find a lot of coffee bitter, but not here, it is smooth and can vary from chocolatey to buttery and more. The coffee, as you would expect, is outstanding. Check out their board or special menus on the table for their Coffee Showcase, which features a special origin and goes into depth about specific beans. But don’t be fooled- this is not an alcohol bar, this is centered around coffee for your beverage. Check out how they have designed their espresso machines to be built in and sunken into the bar. They are even offering table service, none of this casual “order yourself at the counter and take a number” that has been a cost saving measure for many PDX restaurants. But, they have – working with local NW farmers for ingredients just like they work with local farmers for their beans, to offer an impressive food menu in addition to their fine coffee.

At first you may not think that a cafe that so proudly extolls the virtue of coffee and working directly with farmers for 8 years and counting, would put so much effort into the food accompanying its star beverage. This Melbourne based coffee roaster local chain (well, local in Australia) has selected Portland for its first location outside Australia. They have only been open since May this year, but the secret was quickly out about Brunch at Proud Mary Coffee.
