The SZN coffee here is hands down the best coffee beverage I have ever had in my entire life, and I have had a lot of coffee. Drive in from out of town for this drink if you have to, it is worth it! Other things to love: all of the baristas I have interacted with have been kind and the space is lovely. 12/10 recommend!

Awesome antique vintage flooring. It looks amazing. I love the very old look of this place. A must go if you like aesthetics of old vintage urban industrial buildings. Large space, great place to work on a laptop, to read or meet up with a friend. The chai was only so-so. It tasted a little artificially sweet, but I would say that it was average.

Wonderful place to sit and work without any annoying cafe smells. Peaceful atmosphere and the connected furniture store is a plus. My favorite part is playing chess with the owner Muhammed :)

Very chill spot and Black owned! The coffee was great and the owner is super welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re exploring Portland.
