The Fresh Pot - Portland

Sweet little coffee (and treats) shop accessible through the bookstore. Very comfortable place with delightful drinks and very friendly staff members.

The coffee is amazing. Had my first pumpkin latte of the season and it was perfection! Not to sweet.... Just perfect! But let's talk about that Marionberry pop tart! It's killer good! You need to try it! Best little hidden treasure!

This is a cute little coffee place inside of Powell's. I ordered a chocolate bread but it was so dry and flavorless. Alongside of that I also had a chai tea which was okay. Nothing too significantly good or bad. You do have to enter through the bookstore to actually get in. Don't try the closed door

Location: I will not give advice on the location because I am visiting Portland. But I will give my observations: It looks like a safe area, and parking seems moderately easy to find. The People: Friendly barista. The Drinks: Cold brew: Good! Work/Study: Amazing study spot. I got solid work done. I got my electronics charged. The Venue: Nice venue. Has plenty of indoor seating. Upshot: A solid spot to get some work done in Hawthorne Blvd.!

Stop #7 On The One Day Portland Adventure TLDR This coffee shop is high quality, with minimal seating. I needed this stop. Not only was the coffee super tasty, but the day of adventure was becoming a little abstract. But what stop was this? Did it count as a separate stop since it was technically inside Powell 's? Either way, it was a welcome interlude after the first 6 stops of the day. I had to put on my earphones to avoid the break up conversation happening next to me. (I am totally not kidding). The decaf iced americano was delicious. Vibrant. Nutty. Great water to espresso ratio. Furthermore, this was a perfect place to sit and plan my next adventure place. I noticed that there was a theater across the street that was showing movies, but I worried that if I didn 't keep moving, I might get sleepy. The lady at a previous business had recommended I check out Mount Tabor. So armed with Yelp and Google maps I decided to check out how far away it was. Since there was a plethora of lime, scooters and lots of neighborhoods between the coffee shop and the park, I decided that it would be my next stop. But not before spending a good 30 minutes reading a book and enjoying the delicious iced Americano.
