Friendly staff and the coffee is even better. A cute, hole-in-the-wall location with only a few tables. Busy morning rush but mostly grab-and-go customers.

Theres always something delicious to be had here, whether its the Bake Shop pastries or the seasonal drinks or just a drip coffee. Katie is really sweet and hardworking, and (I think) Johnny is the one who always plays really fun music. My only gripe is that it can be hard to find a place to sit on the outdoor patio, but that just goes to show how well-loved it is!

One of the best coffee places in downtown Portland. The coffee just taste so much better here I don’t know how to explain it but I would definitely recommend to anyone I know to try this place out absolutely amazing!!

Decent coffee shop but nothing in particular had wowed me. Coffee was ok, but relatively bitter.

Really awesome coffee. High quality ingredients with craftsmanship to match.

Great experience very nice coffee shop for relaxing & collecting your thoughts. I tried the TEA and it was amazing. Everything was fresh and well maintained. Recommend checking it out if near by

They are labeled as a coffee shop but have great black tea, too, and a lovely deck to sit outside and drink it on

They make really good coffee. Always smooth and the staff was nice.I stayed here for several hours while working on my laptop. A huge hit to this place is no outlets.I also bought two bags of coffee to grind myself. Each back of 340g was $18. I would say overall the price is expensive.I would go back and recommend the coffee shop to a friend.

Stumptown! Love coming here everytime we find ourselves nearby!

Great and friendly coffee shop! Some of the most kind and funny baristas you’ll meet and the place is absolutely dog friendly for pet owners looking for a coffee house sanctuary with your furry friend

Barista is a fun coffee shop with some indoor seating and outside seating.Make sure to grab your coffee and chill outside on a nice summer evening. Doing so will definitely meet the vibe check.Did I mention they have good coffee too!?

I ordered the Americano and it was so smooth and lovely. ❤️☕❤️

I come here almost every day, and the drinks are consistently amazing. The staff is also extremely friendly. I highly recommend

I love Barista. Best vanilla latte in town. I really like this location, especially during the summer when you can sit outside.

Coffee was really good!!! Is visiting from California and would highly recommend!!

I love the honey marzipan flavor!! Please keep it forever.

Excellent coffee, very nice folks... No matter what time you go in. And any business open in Portland these days should get a medal of honor.

Great place to enjoy a great cup of coffee or latte. For those who are bored with Starbucks.

Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. It has a nice feel to it. My apartment is far from here, so I cant visit often.

Great ambiance, great quality. Can’t ask for more. I no longer live in the Portland area but whenever I’m in town, I’m sure to stop in for something.

Barista is my favorite coffee shop in Portland. Their hazelnut latte had a delicious homemade natural flavor.

Great coffee, great staff, and they love dogs. 10/10, will visit again.

Great place to meet up friends or dates. Warm vibes and their ice coffee is pretty good. Maybe better if they had more outside seating. But it probably because it is fall/winter at the moment. Otherwise they also have tasty looking pastries.

Great cup of coffee, I preferred it slightly more than Stumptown (only marginally).

Excellent espresso drinks and coffee selection!

I stop here everytime Im in Portland. Best Ive found so far.

Good lattes and friendly staff. Great indoor and outdoor limited seating.

Nice coffee shop, reasonably priced, their snacks are delicious and the coffee is great.

Post Covid reviewBarista is quick and great and I like their little window with Apple Pay.

Great coffee, people, and super dog friendly.

Good cappuccino and cozy place with good service

Cozy, good quality, cute patio and a killer cortado.

Cuties and interesting kouign amannGo here

I visit a lot of coffee shops and this one really stands out for me. They always have a wonderful selection of specialty coffees. I’m Never disappointed here

Cozy place. Price a little too high.

This place has the most delicious coffee - best for lattes and cappuccinos 😛 Nice location and good indoor seating area. Not sure if it’s open currently

Good coffee nice baristas not crazy expensive

Love their bittersweet hot chocolate.

Great people, at first I received the wrong coffee ( my fault). Without any hesitation or nasty attitude like some coffee shops. They were happily willing to make me another. Coffee was delicious, great please to get some work done . Thank you so much guys :)

Super nice and friendly staff. The location is great and convenient when shopping in the pearl. They do have limited space so be aware if you want to sip there. Great rotation of coffee including three different kinds of espresso.

Delicious & well-made as always

A pretty nice place. The coffee is fairly priced, and they also sell breakfast burritos in addition to their coffee. Their seating isnt actually inside the same room as the bar that sells the coffee, it is in a more public area shared by the other businesses in the building. The seats are just hard wooden benches and chairs, but the woodgrain aesthetic is chill and very nice. The place is a bit dark if there isnt a lot of sun out.

Wonderful coffee and great staff

This is one of my favorite places but, the description on Google of “Tiny unpretentious coffeehouse” needs updating. I drive Lyft and my passengers constantly use this place as an EXAMPLE of pretentious coffeehouse. Still love it tho, highly recommended, but don’t claim it’s unpretentious.

Great staff, delicious espressos; nice interior. Plenty of seats. I was there late in the evening and it was such a warm and comfortable atmosphere from the rain outside. Highly recommended!

It was good

Great service and coffee!

Came for breakfast and got seated right away. Server was friendly and helpful. We ordered their Danish pancakes, scramble eggs with ham and apple, and swedish hash with trout. Food was delicious and these orders came with Walnut bread. Price is reasonable. Food portion is small but quality is good. We parked on the street.

For my first morning in Portland, this place was the best place to go. Love their Multi-roaster Espresso. If you are a coffee lover as myself, then stop here and enjoy, their fresh and delicious coffee. As well, really laptop friendly for those digital Nomads ;).Definitely, recommend :)

So the coffee is good and really really hot. All about the coffee without a show. What a relief. The store itself is like off to the side in a hallway it shares with a cool furniture store. There are tables in the hallway out of the cold and damp and you can bring your dog.

Coffee latte is awesome

Quality pulled espressos and milk creations. This place feels like the heart of Portland at the most Portlands intersection in the Pearl District. Relaxed atmosphere and clean cheery space.

Really good coffee, super nice people. Service was very fast, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Definitely a great pick in a sea of coffee places!

Such good quality coffee. The baristas are accommodating and the dine in areas are always clean. Very cool vibe. Very cool menu. Will keep coming back.

Great lattes

Great staff, delicious espressos; nice interior. Plenty of seats. I was there late in the evening and it was such a warm and comfortable atmosphere from the rain outside. Highly recommended!

The coffee here is good, but not the absolute best Ive found in Portland for my tastes- (see other reviews!).I hate lines (which says the coffee is good here), and each time Ive been there is a line.. it was worth the wait!The outdoor seating is a nice spot to sit, drink and contemplate the world going by.Give it a go, it is worth it - it is good, and may be more to your taste than mine!

Staff is super chill, knowledgeable, and helpful. Menu is pretty minimalistic, but everything they serve is really high quality. Its a little more expensive than most other coffee shops, but you really do get what you pay for. The chai latte here is the most authentic tasting Ive found in the area.

Honestly a bit disappointed by this place. It was a nice space with a cool atmosphere, but the espresso was just alright and the chocolate croissant wasnt warmed up (the barista didnt ask if I wanted it warmed), with the result that the chocolate was essentially a brick-hard layer at the bottom of the croissant.

I went here for the first time today expecting an average cafe experience. EXPECTATIONS EXPLODED. I do not normally go online and rate services so this should not be taken lightly. First I was surprised by the adorable little heart made on top of my beverage, but then I took a sip of this delicious creation and my eyes nearly popped out of my face. I have never tasted better hot chocolate in all of my life. Thank you Barista!

Id been told to go to Barista for a good latte. It was definitely a good latte, in fact it was the best latte Ive had in my life! I normally put a sugar in my lattes to assist in the flavor. The beans in this were absolutely delicious. Kind of sweet and just enough bitterness to leave you wanting more. So so so good. GO HERE!

Excellent espresso. Competing for #1 I have ever had. They had a few roasts to choose from and I just let them choose for me. Very flavorful with a thin velvety layer of rich coffee froth. Pricey at 3 dollars per espresso but totally worth it occasionally.

Truly great coffee, seemingly never a place to sit. Seriously, 5-Star coffee, third-world breadline vibes to get it. Still, it was my go-to for to-go coffee because of their rotating bean menu, paired with the consistent drink quality told me that it wasn’t just great beans, it was great barista-ing! Sadly, their move to bottling their cold brew jumped the Stumptown shark for me and I quit going there. If I’m going to wait five plus minutes in line, I want more than someone opening a bottle and handing it to me in less time than it took to take my money. Bottling the cold brew took away that unique rotating bean experience in my opinion. And I don’t want to have to ask for - and be charged extra for - a cup of ice when I order their cold brew.

One of Portland’s best coffee shops! Beans are sourced from speciality roasters and you can taste the difference. Baristas are very knowledgeable and perfect every detail of the coffee - down the ideal serving temperature!

Im not kidding, and Im not exaggerating: best. coffee. ever. anywhere.Dont take a coffee newbie here: its expensive, and they wont appreciate it.Dont take your friend here if they say oh, maybe Ill just get a tea... no. You get coffee at Barista. The best coffee you have ever tasted.Personally, I like the Mocha. Its is the only place in Portland, and probably the world that I would order a sissy-coffee drink like that. You see, their mocha isnt milk chocolate sweetness, its a dark, hard-hitting, bitter concoction of amazingness.You know that scene in the movie Elf, where he walks into a coffee shop and says you did it!! Worlds best coffee, congratulations!! ... thats what I want to say every time Im here.

Tried the Barista roast with beans from Ethiopia; dry and a bit over roasted for me, with a bitter aftertaste.

Yummy Americans, thanks!

One of the original multi roaster cafes, still serving excellent coffee from all over the country.

First time here. It was their 10th anniversary. Had a great coffee and enjoyed the staff. They handed out cupcakes to customers. Happy Birthday Barista!

I got a drip coffee and when I put the cream in it it seemed grainy. So I asked the baristas and they politely said the acid from the coffee curdled the cream and its fine. So I tasted it and it was really sour. So I put a bunch of sugar in it like 4 spoons ful and it was still sour like sour milk. So I threw it away. Ill make myself another cup at home. Will avoid in the future.

Another solid Portland coffee shop. Located in the Pearl district, this shop is in a great industrial office area. Also has some nice outdoor seating to enjoy the crowds and soak up the sun.

I was sent here with the promise of a twenty-five thousand dollar espresso machine, and while I cant really verify this, I believe it! I have never experienced a texture like that in any beverage, let alone one with such subtle tastes. Great morning sun out front on an elevated porch.

This is probably one of my favorite coffee joints in Portland. They do not roast their own beans, however they have a selection of the best coffee from around the USA. You can choose from 2-3 espresso roasts, get a drip or do a pour over. Small interior and exterior space to hang out and do some work.

A really great coffee shop. Finding street parking in the area is generally not that difficult, they definitely serve up some of Portlands better coffee (really smooth lattes), and strong wifi. If youre looking for a coffee shop to work/study, youll find one big downside: no outlets.

Im not a coffee drinker, but my wife is a coffee snob. She loves this place. When were around I have to take her here, a happy wife makes a happy life. So Barista, thanks for making my life happy!

Good coffee in a nice building. The space is a bit awkward and limited but definitely worth a visit

They pour velvety smooth shots of great coffee so pretty much serendipity in a cup.

Today, you lost a customer due to the disrespect your staff has given. Obviously favoring some customers verse others. Your running a business that evolves around customer service, and to let some customers do something, while rejecting another customer in front of them is just unacceptable.

Very good coffee in a unique part of the Pearl District - good atmosphere and very nice staff. Coffee can be a bit pricey though.

Unprofessional staff. The staff member came outside and pet a dog and went back and started making coffee again. It was disgusting.

Vanilla latte is a dream... man in line had really nice shoes.

Its nice but very limited pastry/side option. Good for coffee only. I liked the porch!

Very nice staff. Cool minimalist space. My 8oz latte had too much milk flavor with not enough coffee coming through. A little too smooth for a latte

The best staff and the best cup of coffee in The Pearl by far.

If you like good coffee...you’ll like Barista

Coffee is perfect. Chocolates are good pastries are sinful. But perfection has its price. Its not a comfy hangout to me - too industrial and hard.

Great quad espresso!

Delicious but expensive coffee. $4 for a small 8 oz latte. Minimalist/Industrial -chic interior like their other locations. Outdoor seating. Quiet on a weekday if you want to hide and work on your laptop or read a book. Baked goods are very limited in supply and again, expensive. Never tried them so I cant vouch for quality. Good service. Would be five stars but Im a broke college student

The cold brew was really good. It was served in a glass bottle. Theres small tables inside and outdoor seating as well.

Visited most of the shops in this area and find Barista one of the best. Both drip and espresso drinks are excellent. Shop is small and friendly. Can be a line.

Great location and coffee. Enough space for work/study

Great coffee that rotates on a regular basis. Choose from three espressos, usually single origin. Also, they started roasting their own coffee recently, and it is delicious!

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff, calm interior, and nice outside drinking area. Nice spot, nice people.

Barista is an excellent little coffee shop to go get caffeinated. The baristas are incredibly kind and you can hop across the way from it and enjoy the boutique that shares a space. Dog friendly too, with an amazing patio people take full advantage of on a sunny day!

All the barista locations are top notch, they carry coffee from local roasters and also roasters from around the US and Canada. They also now roast their own coffee as well.

Expect excellence. Its that simple. And kindness: I messed up my order today and they insisted on fixing the error I made. Doesnt get better than that.

Awesome little coffee shop. They have some unique drinks here aside from the usual

Great crew at this location! They get slammed by Parker Posey clones on a daily basis but the staff always engage warmly with customers. Always a kickass single-origin on rotation. They pull perfect shots most of the time. They have un-fussy Wi-Fi. No outlets in the table area.

Delicious iced latte. No trace of bitterness. Only smooth, pungent, coffee flavor. Highly recommend.

Awesome coffee, never a bad pull.
