Pleasant Refuge. A great selection of well-prepared and varied beverages in a warm, comfortable, if somewhat small cafe atmosphere. The gallery art varies in its worthiness, but there's always a full selection of reading material. Big picture windows make for great Upper Hawthorne people-watching.

Food items are on the pricy end for the amount you get (expect to drop at least $10 if you're getting more than one drink), but are reliably tasty. A medium-sized selection of pastries come from the Pearl Bakery, and Voodoo Doughnuts have recently been added.

Rush hour can be crowded, but economic table organization means you won't be left standing.

Overall, a nice little place to cool your heels, drink a mug of something spicy, and watch the neighborhood go by.  View Less

Strong coffee and soft couches are the main freatures of this coffee shop.. In Short
Customers run in for quick espressos or drift through the door with an eye toward the over-stuffed furniture. With a take-your-time atmosphere, this is a cheerful, airy place that's as soothing as the coffee is strong. Big mugs are filled with rich Caffe Umbria coffee. Members of the tea generation can choose from a wide selection, and baked goods hail from some of Portland's best bakeries. Customers looking for something heartier will find panini and homemade soup.  View Less View More

Best little coffee shop on Hawthorne. I love love love this place. The staff is always friendly and efficient, which is a sharp contrast to some of my other frequented coffee shops, where the baristas tend to be a bit, um, distracted and forgetful. The coffee here is incredible and I love their matcha tea lattes, although their loose-leaf tea lattes tend to be too weak to be enjoyable. This is by far the best place to go hang out and read the paper on the weekend, which is unfortunately the only time I ever get there, since it's the opposite direction from my job; I never make it there during the week.  View Less View More
