Enjoy the best coffees in Portland in an atmosphere of eclectic music

  • A true coffee house.
  • Best coffee and espresso
  • Healthy food

Anna Bannanas is a true coffee house with four different rooms to hang out in along with a front porch and a deck. The coffee and espresso are unsurpassed. There are big healthy sandwiches, vegetarian soups and more. They also have mate' and acai' smoothies to go along with their home style pastries.

Editorial Review for Anna Bannanas – by Christy Loar

In Short
This comfortable coffeehouse attracts everyone from the harried professional to the young artist with more earrings than hair. Located in a former house, each of its rooms is packed with worn furniture--chipped coffee tables and soft couches--and stacks of magazines and books ranging from the latest edition of "Granta" to "Outside Magazine." Beyond the typical caffeinated options are selections of milkshakes and a gourmet sandwich with pesto. Muffins are huge and homemade.

User Reviews for Anna Bannanas

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

You might get freaked out a bit by the perm chair at first or that manikin in the fireplace, but if you can't take this, then you can go back to your shit|y starbucks in the suburbs slurping your watery frappuccinos and talking with your middle-aged friends from the health club about minivans. Anna Banana's is for people who really care about coffee and the Portland coffeehouse tradition. It is the best coffee in town in my opinion, and you should get to know the baristas a bit before you give them a mean stare, zip up your Banana Republic sweater, and disdainfully walk out the door.

Pros: Ambience, damn good coffee, interesting furniture...

Cons: Take a second look at that avocado before you take a bite

Comfy, friendly, charming, good service, good conversation. People that have something to say, which is nice to find. And great coffee! I love this place. Wish I worked there, lived closer, could hang out more. And not sure what grumpy butt (the guy that gave the lousy review) has a problem with. Unless he is decidedly against freedom of speech, thought, expression, or a persons right to their own sexuality. In any case, better that he not return. Although if he did, I'm sure everyone would be nice to him. Hmmm (And I think the prices are more than fair. )

Pros: location, ambiance, local flavor

Cons: long way from my place in the burbs
