You know what would be perfect? A little sleight of hand.

Every once awhile, a place breaks through the white noise of the competition and rises to the top. Coava has absolutely blown me away on two occasions with the smoothest and richest latte in…More »

One of my favorite coffee houses in Portland was discovered in Canby. Yes, Canby. The small farming community way south in the heart of the Willamette Valley. My favorite coffee shop there serves Water Avenue coffee and even sent their staff to Water…More »

Update - 1/16/2009

My favorite coffeehouse in Portland also makes an incredible hot chocolate. Michel Cluizel Venezuelan chocolate, whole milk, a splash of cream and a pinch of Portuguese sea salt for $5 to be precise.

I like this place so much that even the flaws are…More »

It is cool to be kind.

Easily the best cup of coffee, actually a caramel latte, I've had in Portland.… Read more »

One of the more amusing things to do on the weekend is to look at all the tourists lined up around the block waiting for their Voodoo Doughnuts. My intention is not to slam Voodoo (I've been there plenty with zero line at off hours), but they are not…More »

One of my favorite coffee houses on the Eastside.

I have equal affection for the excellent micro-roast coffee drinks and the atmosphere. The restored Victorian shop on Stark Street is completely charming. My favorite time to visit is when the…More »

Serious coffee for serious people.

When visiting a shrine or temple, there are certain rituals to observe. Purify yourself with water at the chozuya, approach the shrine, bow, throw your coins as an offering, bow, clap twice, spend several moments in…More »

I wonder if Greg Kinnear learned how to make lattes here?

Mississippi is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Portland and Fresh Pot provides quality Stumptown coffee and the perfect perch to watch the world stroll by. So picturesque they filmed part…More »

I actually did something crazy (some would say blasphemous) a few years ago and didn't drink coffee for an entire year. Talk about cleansing your palate. What it did was elevate coffee from a everyday (almost subconscious) thing, to a luxury. Now…More »

One of the things that Yelp does best is give you the 'secret handshake.' Places that at first seem ordinary, get turned into something a little more special because of the wealth of wisdom provided by regulars and fans of a place.

At the moment, Oui Presse is a minimalist paradise.

Some of the hardest reviews to write are of new businesses. Do you write about what is or what (you think) will be? When I've reviewed early, sometimes I've been right on the money and in other…More »
