Upper Left Roasters

One of my favorite coffee shops in Portland! Finally got the chance to stop by Upper Left Roasters and I was so impressed with the layout of both the indoor and outdoor seating, with a large amount of capacity to hold a good amount of people.

And best of all, the service was easy, nice and the barista made a delicious cappuccino! Highly recommend Upper Left Roasters.

Sipping a natural Colombian Wush Wush pour over. Tasty, bright, very complex, just like sweet juice. Intense but in a good way.
A house blend cappuccino (Brazil + Ethiopia) was good, too. A tad too roasty, but it’s always a tad roasty if there’s Brazil in it, usually. Still smooth and not smokey.
Also there’s food served here that looks good. Didn’t have any, since wasn’t hungry, but had I been, I’d definitely check it out.
Great shop!

I did post a 5 star review, but unfortunately the service, food and atmosphere has gone down hill. They sometimes leave the doors open when it’s cold outside and most of the time leave it cold inside. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich with ham, but they put an extremely thin piece of shriveled ham that didn’t cover half the sandwich. I asked nicely for more ham and she was rude and then only gave me a tiny piece of ham.

It is a lovely spot for a coffee and perhaps a bite to eat. The cozy eclectic atmosphere is somewhat whimsical and really appealing. The staffs are friendly .Great outdoor seating. Overall a grate experience.

Spacious popular neighborhood roaster shop that is almost always filled up. Third wave coffee pour overs and espresso shots are decent options. Plenty of tea drinks from True Tea like Taiwan oolong teas are offered here too. Food available too.
