If you are more interested in exploring the subtle notes of oat milk and dont want it ruined by bold flavored coffee, this is your place. Maybe Ethiopian beans? Judging by the number of man-buns and a majority of the patrons appearing to be heavily medicated, anything stronger would probably Harsh their mellow.Cashier was friendly and had personality. My condolences to the rest of the staff that were obviously mourning the loss of someone close.

My new favorite breakfast. One of their silky smooth lattes and the Emory’s avocado toast that looks like a fairytale. I drive from West Linn just for it.

Had a blast breakfast at Fairlane Coffee with their delicious toasts. The avocado toast looks simple yet is quite flavorful with a generous layer of avocado slices; the nut butter banana toast feels homey and hearty, a delight to have in the morning. Both toasts are made vegan and on grand central bread which tastes so good.I would love to come back again and maybe try some of their pastries, they definitely look good! Service is friendly with a laid-back vibe.There are plenty of outdoor dining tables in the courtyard next to the coffee shop.

The Emory, avocado toast with flowers...delicious!! Service here is friendly.

Kind service, delicious coffee, great space.They as re only offering outdoor seating currently. But a good amount of spaces outside.Oh the cinnamon toast brought be back to my childhood 😊

They have some great craft teas and healthy on the go breakfast/brunch ideas to choose from.

Very wierd tasting coffee and my husbands oatmilk was sour. Im a bit disappointed

The atmosphere is bright, filled with plants and a lot of wood. Very cool vibes. Coffee was good. The barista for me could have been a little nicer.

$20 for two terrible pastries and two med/small lattes. Come for the coffee, avoid the baked goods. The muffin was costco-grade and the scone was inedible sawdust.

Good coffee but they seem to be stuck in 2020 with their Covid paranoia. Still wont open their regular entrance, asking for papers like in East Germany to get a coffee, and they dont even realize State guidance has moved on and we dont need masks inside any longer. Obviously their right as a business but take your business elsewhere if you dont want to live in a permanent state of fear like this coffee shop. Sad. Dave

Excellent coffee. I got the iced latte. Good choice.

WiFi for those who are looking to share a table and get some work done. Excellent coffee and pastries for a quick bite. Love the location and vibe

Im a coffee nerd, and would definitely recommend fairline to coffee nerd friends!It seems Fairline uses Onyx beans, no one is going to doubt the quality there.Sure enough, drip and espresso tasted great today. Coffee folks wont be disappointed. The drip had clear strawberry notes, and the espresso was a balanced (not bitter or sour) and complex Guji with lemongrass/floral/herbal flavors. Fun coffee!Plus they have some neat tea, and some snacks that sounded tasty, and relaxed outdoor seating. :)

Iced cascara tea... perfect refresher after a bike ride. Citrusy with just enough sweet for an energy boost.

Great coffee with lovely indoor space and outdoor courtyard in Sellwood.

I came here recently with a friend to get some drinks and some toast and wow I was blown away. I had an incredibly delicious chai and a very tasty avocado toast. I 100% recommend.

Coffee was divine, but the cost was a bit higher than my budget can stand. It was great for what I wanted, but if I lived near there, I couldnt afford it very often. What Im used to paying about $3.50 for, they charged $5.50. They roast their own beans, and it IS a quality operation. I left off a star due to their prices, not the quality of their product.

Great atmosphere, fast service

Got the blueberry cornmeal cookie and an ice coffee!

A nice spot with great music that leads to a chill and relaxing atmosphere. Do your homework or deep readings here. I purchased the lavendar decaf latte (I am allergic to caffeine! 😫) and it was creamy and chill. It isnt the most amazing coffee I have had but it is quite close. Also the staff are very welcoming and if you become a regular it seems they become your friends. How cool is that to see such wonderful human interaction. Did I meant ion they have wifi? Oh yeah come here to do homework!

I love love fairlane. We stumbled upon this place when We first moved to Portland. we make the trip at least once a week out there. Everyone who works here is incredible!Head out, grab a coffee, grab a pastry, make sure to grab one of their amazing toasts and enjoy!!!

Friendly staff and always great drinks and food items.

Fairlane has recently become my go-to spot.This place is the full package- great social distancing set up (and cute seating when it is allowed), friendly baristas whose skill is unparalleled, a good selection of tasty baked goods for a variety of dietary restrictions, and just yesterday I opened up my first bag of their own coffee beans- a very light and fruity Ethiopian.

Good coffee & Good people. What else can you ask for?

Great coffee!!

Great coffee drinks, friendly customer service. Beautiful ambiance.

Love the coffee and they don’t charge you extra for non-dairy milk alternatives!!!

Fairlane’s thoughtful coffee selection is served flawlessly by the most friendly baristas in town, bringing life to the neighborhood. 10/10

It’s taken me too long to update this review. I gave it three stars originally. However, after reading my review every effort was made to give me a better experience. I wasn’t expecting that and I really appreciated it. I went back and the service was great and the coffee was as well. If you’re in the area, this is a good spot to grab a cup of coffee.

Perfectly nice place, people. Good if you prefer oat milk to half n half in your coffee. Two drinks for $10 approximately. Popular. The spider plants desperately need their babies to find earth or be removed, the main plants are in obvious distress. Some of the philodendrons also have lost most of their leaves, need to hire a green thumb person to work the place! Just an atmospheric note from someone who cares about plants ;-)

A fantastic coffee shop right next to some amazing Relish and great restaurants. Got an espresso and the kombucha. They hit the spot and were incredible. Absolutely excited to come back and chat with the staff. Good co-working spots available too.

Favorite new place to check out, open during the Covid. Wear your make and prepare for some good coffee!

Their mocha is to die for!

Staff is excellent. We had an avacado open face sandwich which was very good and double espressos equally excellent. The cafe ambiance was quiet and respectful.

Good coffee with an updated food menu. Nice atmosphere. Not the place to let little ones run rampant.

Some of the best cold brew Ive ever had. The avocado hummus toast is excellent. Friendly service.

Nice, independent coffee shop. The baked goods are fantastic. I recommend saying yes if they offer to warm them. On my last visit I had a slice of pumpkin bread. It was moist and delicious with a great mix of spices.

Great neighborhood cafe. If its busy they ask you to share tables. Nice staff.

I love this place. Wide open, big windows and spider plants! Its ideal to come work while you enjoy your coffee.

I showed up without knowing Id left my wallet in the car. The lovely barista gave me my drink so I could enjoy it while going back to get it. Very nice. Thanks!

Great coffee, but only one person working on Sunday morning at 8:20??? We wanted to enjoy our coffee in their sweet outdoor patio, but wait in line was so long we had to get it to go :(

Super cool Coffee Shop with a great local Sellwood feel. Staff is fantastic and very personable, great quick chat while still creating a beautiful cup! Some of the better coffee art I have seen on the fly, take a second to appreciate the art before putting a lid on it. Yes, if you ask nicely you can hand crank the engine.

So my husband and I stopped in here for coffee. There were a few people in line ahead of me and only one girl working behind the counter. She was trying to make food and also coffee for folks. Anyway I finally got to order and then we waited probably at least 20 minutes for our coffee. At that point she had gotten the order wrong. She forgot that it was a decaf latte with soy. She also gave me a 12 oz instead of a 16 oz that I ordered. At that point I just wanted the coffee so I didnt say anything. The girl behind the counter was super nice just needed help. And she should really write down her orders so she gets them straight. I love the venue but the service was just not good.

Awesome little shop. Coffee was good and also went with a slice of quiche. Fairly large slice compared to most places and it was delicious.

I go here for the pastries. Loretta Jeans supplies amazing pie, banana bread, and other pastries. The coffee is good, from Water Avenue, but every time I go here it seems that the staff has changed over and they dont seem particularly knowledgeable or passionate about espresso. I think this is a very good place to work from as there are always other people here camped out on their laptops.

Single origin drip coffee is offered here and thats a gem to find in PDX.

Very good coffee quality and nice baristas. Tried oatmilk as an option and tastes better than cow milk.

The best coffee Ive had in Portland. Other than Sierra (sp?) the employees leave a lot to be desired.Whatever the blend is they serve I swear to you its like magic..just wished they cared about who they hired more.

My fave lil coffee shop! Great location.

Delicious smooth amazing coffee. Great snacks. My favorite neighborhood coffee place!

A nice coffeehouse. Friendly place. Its set up well to hang out solo with the computer, or sit and talk with friends. I generally grab and go. Happy there is a choice without a Star in the name.

The coffee tasted great, with unique flavors. The staff were super nice and the ambiance was outstanding. I would totally recommend trying them out!

Great products and friendly staff.

Best chai lattes at Fairlane Coffee!! Great and friendly service during every visit, and Fairlane is in a great location in Sellwood near several other restaurants my husband, kids, and I like to go to. I had a minor issue with being overcharged a couple times with my personal cup, and when providing feedback regarding this issue I was given such great and friendly customer service from Management that made me even happier that I’m a loyal customer to one of our local coffee shops in town! I definitely recommend the chai latte and pastries if you plan on making a visit to Fairlane Coffee in Sellwood, OR!

Easy ordering and great patio seating

The toast is so darn delicious!

Plenty of seating for groups & singles inside. lots of outdoor tables as well for those sunny days. the coffee (espresso, cold brew) has been average the half-dozen times ive tried it. service has been good each visit, with noticeable effort by staff to radiate smiles. while the tunes in the background are chill, they play them a few decibels too loud to concentrate or carry on a conversation with someone.

Friendly customer service. Easy to follow menu. Very nice baked goods. Clean and bright atmosphere.

Modern coffee shop in a newer building, in a hip part of Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. You will find a lot of people on their computers here. The shop is has big windows on two sides. Seating is a bit limited at times.

Friendly staff, great coffee, amazing banana bread. Nice atmosphere and not too packed the few times I went. My tea was a little weak, but Im super picky about my tea and am almost never satisfied.

Great, friendly service with fast WiFi and seating inside. This felt roomy - not cramped between tables.Ordered a toast with ricotta, almonds, and a berry compote for $5.95 and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of bread and toppings that came with it. I was nervous it would not be enough to warrant $6 but it was a thick slice with plenty of toppings.They didn’t have a chai tea non-latte, only premade with milk. Other than that, I loved it!

Ive spent many a morning at Fairlane Coffee, and although its not a bad spot, and the coffee is good, it has never been on my list of favorite places to start my day. Like I said, I like the coffee, and the baked goods are good, but the ambience is lacking in my opinion. Ita nice enough building, but feels a little stark, it just doesnt have that cozy feel that I prefer. There arent many seating options other than hard chairs, either at the window bar, the regular tables, or the big table in the center of the room. And while there are a couple of cool baristas, there are also a couple who seem just a little too cool in their own minds if you get what I mean. And to me, unless the coffee and eats in a place are either amazingly good, or spectacularly awful, then the ambience and the attitude of the staff are the things that are going to make me want to either come back or decide to go elsewhere.So thats where Im at with it. I give it 4 stars, its not a bad place but its not gonna be a favorite for me either.

Consistently good.

Great little coffee shop! Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful, wonderful coffee shop featuring Water Ave coffee. Really cool atmosphere and great people authentically trying to bring coffee back to its true roots - community and family.

Enjoyed the coffee and avocado toast. Ill be back

An employee was doing her hair at the counter where you get your drip coffee. I get sometimes you have to throw it up in a ponytail, but this was too much. She had all of her hair clips sitting on the drip coffee counter with hair sticking out of it. I havent been back since.

Staff was amazing, coffee was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Im definitely coming back here.

My favorite place to get some work done on my laptop. Lots of power outlets, and good coffee.

Great little coffee shop. Could use a couple more comfy chairs though.

Meh. I end up having meetings here more often than Id like. Coffee is ok- I just prefer the non-surly barista and coffee shop over the surly/ indifferent type. If youre looking for a quiet place to read the paper, this might be for you. For me, I prefer a brighter start to my day if I am spending the money for a fancy coffee.

Great coffee.

Good coffee drinks, pastries from Loretta Jean. Nice service staff, comfortable space indoor and outdoor seating.

I think the barista who served me is a sorceress and thats super awesome.

Love this place. Great coffee. Good vibe.

Great coffee, friendly staff, decent seating available, easy nearby parking and other restaurants if the small sandwiches or pastries they have here arent enough to fill your craving.

Excellent coffee, cool vibe, great light

That dude Alejandro made me a bomb *** drink. I give it a 11 out of a possible 10 Jeff Goldblums

Nice coffee shop for when you just want a quick cup o Joe.

Solid coffee and tea options, beautiful patio area to soak up the rare bits of sun we have.

Perfect little cafe. Very good espresso.

Best coffee in Sellwood-Moreland, consistently great on drip coffee and espresso drinks. The cozy atmosphere inside is also a major plus.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Some of the best cold brew Ive had.

Cute little shop with a good vibe.

Decent coffee and Atmos, but they make their mochas with chocolate sauce/syrup. Bleh.

Love the cool vibe in this decent sized cafe. Food is better than expected and the coffee drinks are delicious. Love the free wifi and there is a key for the restroom. That helps when im driving for Lyft and i stop here for a pick me up.

Good coffee, friendly baristas, comfortable atmosphere for work or chatting.

Upscale Schicky micky coffee. Its fine

Nice open space with Water Avenue Coffee and yummy pastries and pie!

Really like this newer spot, good coffee and quiche with very pleasant staff.

Excellent and excellently consistent boutique (Water Avenue) coffee.

Great location, friendly service, they make seasonal and holiday drinks. 🏆

A delicious brownie (with a molten center) and an awesome, helpful staff!

Nice atmosphere, good coffe, but they think very highly of their tea, $3 .00 for about 6 or 8 oz glass. Other coffee houses $2.25 for a 16 oz only 2 stars because of the price of thier tea!!

Good coffee and chill baristas. I go here more than Dutch bros and will take it over Starbucks any day

My friends and my computer couldnt connect to the internet. The splash screens button didnt work.

Good parking and great coffee.

Delicious coffee, cozy atmosphere, plenty of natural light, and fantastic service! Sure to be a neighborhood gem.

Great coffee and delicious avocado toast

I think the barista,had stolen the money and ran. These,was noon these as I stood around for 19 mins before grabbing some cookies for the kids...and leaving.
