COFFEE BEER

I love love love this place. The decor, the customer service, the vibe and the coffee. Cant wait to go back. Love the aura.

Coffee shops have become such an essential Keystone of the culture. I mean, I remember back when a cup of coffee was something (usually pretty dank) that you got at the local diner for next to nothing, more of a fast and dirty street drug than a fulfilling experience. This shows my age, but when modern coffee shops came on the scene, I thought it was a passing fad. Don't invest in my prophetic abilities. In fact, I was living in Japan when the phenomenon started and I thought, Man! What a weird idea.
Fast forward to the nearly ubiquitous community gathering places that dot our towns like like freckles on on a redhead and that brings me to Coffee Beer. They are vegan and I didn't notice which is a huge point in their favor. I honor and respect people that tread that particular path, but I'd rather slack myself in the face with a porcupine than try and live a vegan lifestyle. Well Played Coffee Beer! Insidious...

So the drinks were good, the place was welcoming, the weather was just right, and the company was a treasure. We came from out of the area for a very special meeting and chose Coffee Beer out of the hat based on its reviews. It was an important meeting that meant a lot to us and having a safe and welcoming place was so important. The meeting went well, we never felt pressure to buy more or move on, the vibes were good.

So funny that coffee shops have become such hubs of their communities, such universal havens. Thank you Coffee Beer for recognizing that and making the experience just right. Maybe we should pass a law that instead of churches being the traditional sanctuaries they could be coffee shops.

Friendliest coffee/bar in the neighborhood. Their outdoor space is perfect to chill and enjoy end-of-the-day sunlight.

Great beer. Great coffee. Great people. If you asked me where I felt the most community during the past few years it would be here at Coffee Beer. Phillip is intentional about every aspect of his business. From being entirely plant based, to the selection of beers, ciders, and kombucha, to the people he chooses to staff his lovely establishment. Every single person at Coffee Beer has made my family and me feel welcome (which is not always easy with a loud AF toddler). All that's to say VISIT COFFEE BEER. Buy coffee. Buy beer. Then go next door to Cutiee Buys and buy snacks on snacks on snacks.

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST ICED VANILLA LATTE I HAVE HAD IN PORTLAND!
