Portland Coffee Hangouts

Friendly baristas, and a garage style door that lets fresh air+light in – and good music out to the courtyard – are just two of the positives of this tasteful and stylish shop. http://baristapdx.com/     1725 NE Alberta

Adjacent to the bakery, this cozy retail shop has a wide selection of pastries, as well as interesting art on its walls. Because of its relatively smaller size, however, seating options are limited which influences how long someone hangs out there.  http://delphinasbakerycafe.com/   4636 NE 42nd.

Though unassuming on the outside, the relatively cozy inside is chock full of interesting amenities: art on the walls, wooden sculpted spoons hanging from the ceiling, a small kids area (plus scheduled story times,) a jazz trio plays Sundays at 5, panini sandwiches, beer and wine, in addition Water Ave. Coffee, Smith Tea and home-made pastries.    4611 E.
