Coffee

In addition to being called Beervana for the sheer number of breweries in the region, Portland also hosts a number of ecletic coffee shops ranging from strong local micro-roasting operations to places that serve chain coffee but have great atmosphere.

  • Coffee Time - A Portland institution reveled by local chess players and students. Open late.
  • World Cup Coffee - A great place for business discussions.
  • Anna Bananna's - Know to attract the local activist/hippy culture. That's not cigarette smoke you smell in the basement.
