Guilder Cafe

"One of the best spots to enjoy a well made espresso drink after buying a new book! I always love my stops into the Guilder Cafe located within Powell's."

"Stumbled upon this coffee shop in an impressive book store. Got a really great cortado that was smooth and tasty - light-to-medium roasted Guatemalan anaerobic washed beans, if I remember correctly. It tasted sweet and fruity. Will be coming back. Surprised it has a 4.4 review rating. I’ve been to many reputable coffee shops lately, and this cortado is by all means one of the best I had in my life, both by its velvety texture and its rich and sweet taste. Informative and polite barista answered all my questions."

"This café is in the famous Powells bookstore. I recommend the books. I ordered a quad shot cappuccino with almond milk and got it in an itty bitty cup for $7. I lounged and read part of a book with my mate. There's a lot of space for working in a semi quiet place with someone or without. If you're after an experience, I highly recommend this cafe and the bookstore."

"It's a wee bit small and stuffed in the back of Powells. They are busy and the staff are soldiers trying to get everything out as quickly as possible. Hard to believe there's one person on drinks some days given the volume. The coffee was decent and they have a lot of nice snacks to choose from."

"This cafe is located inside the iconic Powell book store on one of the corners. The atmosphere inside is pretty unique and charming. They have plenty of window sitting and great spots for people watching. The large windows give plenty of lighting. One can grab a book from the store and sit there for hours. About the coffee, which is darn good as well. I tried their Cortado and Cappuccino and both were spot on. It’s certainly worth coming here whether you are coming to Powells or not."
