In Short
Neighborhood cafes come and go, but Jim and Patty Roberts have been staples of the Portland coffee scene for years. They started (then sold) the Coffee People chain, and now run this down-to-earth shop along walkable NE Fremont Street. Aside from expertly made lattes, customers swoon for the Umpqua ice cream and homemade sour cream coffeecake, free Wi-Fi access and the "Caffeine Meditation Garden" out back.

Forget Dutch Bros. These guys are great. They serve up the coffee fast, hot and fresh! I love their selection and the staff is warm and inviting. I love this place and go back again and again!

Jim and Patty's is a staple in my life based on the habanero mocha alone. I love the combo of spicy and sweet; add coffee to the mix and you're in heaven. And if you're not into hot pepper, they have numerous other delicious coffee drinks. No one I have taken there has ever had a disappointing drink- and I've taken quite a few people! Unlike a previous reviewer, I have never received poor service here. Everyone has been fun and friendly. True, it may be slightly slower and more crowded than a Starbucks, and the reason is simply the high quality. I have only recently discovered the breakfast sandwiches here, and they are amazing. Made on a hot, fresh biscuit, I always get the bacon/egg/cheese with a tomato. Some days that's just the only thing that will satisfy me. With that and my habanero mocha, this is my ideal place for a Portland rainy morning.

First of all, I had reservations about going to the new coffee shop after Jim and Patty bilked their investors by cashing out on Coffee People and watching it tank. Secondly, I stood in line with two of my children for at least 10 minutes at a register that was apparently not in use. Patty walked by and did not say a thing, other than chat with her employee. After several minutes of standing and getting no attention, I finally asked the man in front of me making espresso if I was standing in the wrong line (which he could have easily told me 10 minutes prior). He said "uh, yeah.. the line is over there...". We had to walk to the end of the line that had 6 people by now... all of whom were behind us when we arrived. I finally just took my children and left. Obviously investing AND customer service are not their strong points. I would suggest the Turkish coffee place next door, or even... God forbid, Starbucks.
