People, Place, Coffee
We are driven by three core priorities—people, place, and coffee. This means we are invested in our neighborhood and committed to seeing it be a place so awesome that nobody would want to move away from it. We see our coffee shop as a valuable asset for a neighborhood—a place and a delicious reason for neighbors to gather and connect.
In addition to our espresso bar, we deliver coffee to homes and other businesses in and around Portland, Oregon and mail out coffee across the United States every Thursday.
