Kudos for opening early everyday! I love to see them already open for a new day on my run to Tabor even in those dark early winter mornings.The store has a spacious interior space (though closed for now) and a nice parklet outside. Decent coffee and selection of pastries and baked goods.

We have always loved Albina. The feel of the place is just right and the coffee is always excellent.

There are several coffee shops within walking distance of my house, but I choose Albina Press most of the time. They brew a perfect cup, using my absolute favourite coffee. Coava’s beans are the best in Portland, IMHO. The cold brew at Albina Press is always tasty and fresh too, if that’s your jam. Very friendly baristas and a great outdoor seating area seal the deal. Solid five stars.

AwesomeI love coffee 😍☕️

The coffee here has a smell that reminds me of a wood shop with burned wood. For some reason, I crave that smell and taste. Its strangely addictive. I will be driving down Hawthorne and feel the strong urge to get coffee at Albina Press and I just cant resist when that happens. The location is very nice at the end of Hawthorne. Thats my favorite block of Hawthorne for sure

Good coffee. Nice open environment. Friendly ladies at the counter. Also open before any other coffee shops . So if your an early riser this is the place

As the cigarette smoke settled in the air of the packed café I closed my worn old copy of lonesome dove and took a drink out of my cup of cold coffee. I looked around at the tired faces of students, writers, artists, and the occasional reader like myself, their bodys littered at tables and on too old couches colored like dried blood. I glanced down at my own table suited with a rickety leg and battle scars from children with paper clips, and pain started to rush into my body like a cold breeze rushes through the leaves of a tree. maybe it was the way this place reminded me of the dive bars my mom would take me to when I was a kid, could also be the decades as a private detective making me weary of these bodys all packed in a small place like sardines in a can. who knows. I start out of my chair and its back hits the chair of the person sitting at the table behind me. I gather my book and I leave my tip. I walk out of that thick aired café, my mind on other things. I weave my way through the bodys and push open the wooden door with a ring out of the bell. its raining outside, and I make a right hand turn. I walk to the end of the block where the sidewalk meets an impressively large puddle before I turn back and look at the sign hanging off the wall of the café. Albina Press

Good cold brew. Friendly baristas and some gluten free as well as non gluten free pastries. COVID 19 precautions requiring masks and limited numbers inside

FANTASTIC COFFEE!! If youve not been here just go, try this you will not regret spending a couple extra bucks.

The staff are very nice and make the best hot chocolate Ive ever had!!

COVID abstinence from in house seating is unfortunate, but out front tables are nice.

Great coffee and outdoor seating vibes, but pretty lame of them to not let customers use the bathroom...especially since theres not really anywhere else to go nearby. Its a coffee shop, people are drinking, bathrooms should be open!

Awesome coffee, variety of baked goods, and perfect ambience for chilling/ working.

Great coffee house serving Coava beans. Open nice and early which I appreciate.

Nice outdoor seating options, and a good cafe latte. Friendly staff.

Looking forward to the day when businesses like this open again for in person dining.

Always a solid choice for an excellent cuppa. Superb staff here as well.

Friendly, nice atmosphere, great cap.

Great coffee! Worth going out of your way!

Good coffee but hampered by Covid restrictions to enjoy ambiance

Good coffee and staff [tip well]. No sitting inside during covid, but order inside and covered tables in front outside. Open later than other shops in vicinity.

These guys are fine but you can get better drinks and food elsewhere for better prices. Decent place to work from during non-COVID times. I saw Reggie Watts here once.

I enjoyed dropping into this local coffee spot. Excellent latte and nice folks behind the counter. I was hoping for a sandwich but the bagel was fresh and good enough for a quick snack.

Great coffee. Nice barista.

Great coffee, awesome people.

Yummy coffee, yummy food, very friendly staff! I worked here with a co-worker for several hours, and I would come again!

Just stopped in and the coffee was excellent

Delicious latte and great atmosphere!

Love this coffee shop. I am so grateful they have reopened!

Great coffee.

Nice looking coffee shop, good baristas, delicious coffee.

The best!

Cool as hell. Best coffee and people in town

This is my favorite coffee shop in this area by far. Delicious food and drinks, wonderful ambiance. Great spot to stop in and hang out awhile or just grab something and go

I love Albina Press because the vibe is so warm and comfy. I enjoy going there to study after school or on weekends sometimes. It is very quite which is nice for getting work done, and I think it is very inexpensive for what you get.

Good coffee

Typical neighborhood Portland coffee shop. Lots of seating inside with a few outdoor benches. I come in here because theyre fast, its close to my residence and they serve up good coffee! If youre in the area, its a nice place to pop in for a coffee...and maybe a tasty croissant.

One of the best coffee shops in the city. A cool, comfortable space (usually) playing great music and displaying an array of pieces from talented local artists on their walls. The staff is made up of a group of kind and interesting people, all whom make one hell of a latte. A great environment to sip and read or bang out some laptop work. They also serve bagels and other delicious baked goods.

I love the layout of this fine coffee establishment! ❤️ I chose the high chairs that over look the kitchen and SE Hathourne St. Most seats have nice views of the whole cafe and outside.

Great coffee, great bakery items and a really cool vibe! Nice quiet neighborhood feel while right on main streets. Made me wish I still lived here in Portland.

I had one of the most wonderful cappuccinos here! Parking in the area can be a little rough, but worth it and a small walk to get in here! They have a huge seating space, so if you like to get work done in coffee shops, this is one to try!

One of the hundred amazing coffee spots in Portland. But they all have something little special about one another. Coffee is great. Customer service is great. All around a wonderful coffee spot to hang out and have some good coffee. If you want some good coffee before or after your climb to Mt Tabor, this place will not dissapoint.

I was in here having a meeting with 5 people and just a few minutes into the meeting someone who didn’t work here came over and requested we move because they were throwing an engagement party. They went to every single person on this side of the cafe and requested they move. The cafe was already full there was no where to move, so we didn’t move. Shortly thereafter a mere 50 people showed up, causing every person who stayed on this side of the cafe who were just trying to finish their work or meetings were forced into unbelievable chaos, a suffocating environment and were forced to leave basically. We’re talking 80+ people in a capacity for 40 people tops.While I understand the people who asked everyone to move did not work here it is UNBELIEVABLE that the cafe allowed them to do this. We were all paying customers including a man who clearly had a developmental disability who had a complete melt down because people kept touching him.

Amazing shots. It can fill up quick but a great place to get a little work done. Staff are so chill and nice! Fun place to get a fancy hot chocolate with your (well behaved) kid.

The coffee was good in a place that demands high quality in the face of steep competition. The barrista didnt win awards for late art but the machine was well tended and the espresso fairly well balanced. The atmosphere was welcoming and both the neighborhood and staff very friendly. Great neighborhood coffee shop.

I dont drink coffee, but Albina Press has a decent tea menu. No yerba mate ufortunately, but I love what they do have. Theres a lot of seating in this location, so I prefer it to the one on Mississippi.

Love that they open early and we can walk here. Outdoor seating is a huge plus. I accidentally dropped my coffee twelve seconds after they made it and before I could even wipe it up they made me a new one!!! Loved the place

The space is light filled and roomy, though usually filled. The staff is pleasant enough. Drinks are good, but not a lot of food options. The music can sometimes be obnoxious & loud- so I wouldnt recommend this as a reliable place to work if you need a quiet space. Its a great place to casually hang out with friends though.

Great ambiance and an astounding selection of loose leaf tea along with numerous coffee selections.

Uniquely light, spare, open space with big windows and a couple nice couches.Aside from espresso drinks the only hot coffee served is press-made poured into regular old vacuum carafe.One at a time served the entire shop!Refills $2.That coffee, Coava on tap when was there, was interesting but mild, did not pack the immediate coffee shock of an espresso drink, but over about three cups did come through nicely.Nice place!

Decent tea. Really like the atmosphere. But very small selection of tea and food items. Just has like tegualr coffee and some to tiny treats that dont look that great

Such a great atmosphere with good music, plenty of plugins, nice staff, and great coffee!!

This is always a good place to bring a laptop or a sketchpad and sit for hours with a good coffee or a pot of tea. Gets busy during peak hours but not too bad any other time! Excellent music selection always.

Cool art and cozy spot with couches. The pastries were delicious.

Bright, airy, nice place to have a cup. I had a cup of drip and was pretty disappointed that it was really sweet and had very little body. Not my favorite coffee, but I could see myself getting some work done here.

Big airy cafe with rustic interior. Lots of seating space. Great lattes and black coffees here. They also do a mean chunky choc chip cookie. Perfect start to the morning after a walk at the nearby Mount Tabor.

You know how sometimes you wanna get coffee and sit somewhere where there is stuff on walls to look at and people Learn what you want and then you dont have to tell them what you want because they know. Yeah, thats how they do.

The coffee is good and the baristas are friendly. Its a great coffee shop for working; very spacious with many small tables and outlets. Its always busy but never feels crowded. I work remotely, and its one of my favorite places to get things done.

Very polite. Good drinks. Good atmosphere.

One of my favorite coffee shops east of the Willamette.Low key atmosphere, very friendly staff. This is a great place to get some extra work done or meet someone for a cup of coffee.

Everytime I have traveled to Portland I stop here. This place is the go to, most amazing shop I have ever experienced. The flavor, the staff, the way the bar is shaped, the art...every single aspect of this shop is what the coffee culture is all about.

Very good coffee and environment. Ample seating space and even multiple outdoor picnic tables on the sidewalk. I had a slice of banana bread a chai with a shot of espresso. Good stuff, and not over priced.

Great place for tea or coffee and they have two locations!

A great little upscale neighborhood coffee shop with a lot of options. Its bright and clean, and a rotating art selection keeps the ambience from getting too stale. People tend to camp out all day, but theres plenty of room, and the barista stations position in the middle of the shop keeps the tables from feeling too packed together.

Best verlängerter in PDX, bar none. Also a very chill spot, with nice people behind the counter.

They serve Coava coffee, which is my fave in Portland. Friendly, hip staff. Yummy baked goods. And they always showcase cool local artists. Perfect for working from home or coffee dates.

Really nice coffee shop to get some work or some reading done. Would be great if they had more food options but just have basic pastries/cookies.

A trendy spot, with cute people. Unfortunately the mocha was super weak and the cherry-apricot muffin dry. It’s basically a good spot to people watch and use your laptop if you can’t afford internet.

My wife absolutely LOVES this place. Its clean well lighted. They could use a few more local ingredients (cream cheese) and just a few more food items.

Clean and pretty big for this part of town. At least ten tables plus bar seating and two couches. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Strong wifi. Small selection of pastries.

Love this place. Favorite neighborhood coffee shop to grab a small latte and do some work/browse reddit for hours. Very cozy atmosphere despite the largish size.

A nice local coffee shop with friendly staff and eclectic music. This is a nice place to have a casual meeting or get a bit of work done.

Central bar with table seating all around, and outdoor seting if its nice out. Great staff with a passion for coffee. Order from the register, which on the right when you come in. It can be confusing at first glance.

Music was tight. Dude was really nice.

Lots of space--excellent place for business meetings, being with friends, or going solo to be super productive. Great black coffee (french press Coava); not a huge fan of the music but thats just a personal opinion.

Great coffee and a cute spot. Does get crowded pretty quickly which can make finding a place to sit challenging.

This space is the best spot for cranking out some productive work or catching up with a friend. The coffee is spot on and there is plenty of seating. Plenty of free parking nearby as well, and very close to Mt. Tabor.The only reason I didnt give albina press 5 stars is because the wifi is incredibly slow.

Lovely brew iron like in its considering consistency is key and they bring my coffee homie homie

Just another trendy overpriced decent cup of coffee in Portland. Comfortable places to sit. They are all pretty much the same though.

So good! Reasonably priced, New York feeling coffee loft with comfortable seating, good coffee and snacks. Staff are friendly and wait times are minimal. Internet is also surprisingly fast.

My go to place for coffee for the past 10 years, great staff

One of the best in PDX. Go for the espresso skip the fancy drinks.

Cosy, modern, changing art exhibition, last but not least excellent coffee and pastries.

Espresso has a really bold aroma. Surprisingly bold. So bold that’s the main reason for the 5 stars.

Good coffee but limited sizes and choices. This is real coffee not Starbucks so dont expect to order what you get at starbucks and it be remotely the same.

Great for working by yourself or meeting friends to hang out. This place has lots of ample seating, a relaxed atmosphere, and super friendly and helpful staff. They offer free Wi-Fi. One of my favorite coffee shops to hang at.

Always friendly but more importantly they make an excellent latte/French press/espresso. Hold the sugar this place is all about the coffee. ☕ ☕ ☕

My favorite coffee shop on the east side. These people know how to make great coffee and theyre very consistent. Nice atmosphere as well.

Lots of space to work and the iced coffee was very good.

Great coffee and pastries, cool art on the walls, an lots of niches to sit and read while you drink your coffee.

Nice place to relax. Plenty of seating and good loose-leaf tea selection.

Really pretty cafe with lots of coffee options to choose from as well as tea. Quite and a good place to work, but its also too tucked away for me to remember its there.

Their French pressed coffee is put in a carafe you need serve yourself. Kind of off-putting. Coffee is excellent though

One if the best coffee places in Portland, I dont trust there wifi tho

Pretty much the standard coffee shop with consistently awesome coffee, pastries, and friendly staff. Its my morning coffee routine.

My favorite coffee shop in SE Portland, so good Unfortunately I have celiac disease and there are no gluten free treats, but the coffee and atmosphere makes up for it

Very tasty, but very overpriced. Worth a visit if you love coffee shops. The staff was a little standoffish.

I loved to meet with my best friend over the best cup of soy milk coffee.

Im a fan, good parking, lots of outlets. Quiet, they open up the doors when its nice out so you get a pleasant breeze going though.

Great coffee, interesting eats. Good WiFi. Nice place for studying, hanging out or socializing with friends. The only complaint I had was paying for an expensive expresso, and being given this tiny little thing in a tiny little cup, that was like... gone in about 2 sips. Perhaps thats considered trendy or something, but I found it a bit frustrating. Youll like their coffee, but consider asking them to serve it to you in a regular, grownup-sized cup.
