Café Zamora

"The place looks not so orderly but the guy that worked there was friendly and the people there seemed also friendly. The coffee was very affordable with a mediocre taste."

"Insanely good coffee with balance. I had a Vanilla chagaccino. The flavor was fantastic, and the sweetness was perfect. It was enough sweetness to enhance the overall flavor, but I did not feel like I was drinking tons of sugar like Starbucks. The coffee also didn't cause me indigestion like most coffee does because the acidity was much lower. The person working (not sure if owner) was kind and provided excellent service. The shop had a lot of space that wasn't utilized. They did have a couch and some chairs to use, and books for children. Also had a chair and table combo near the door. Several plants throughout the shop. Overall, an absolute slam dunk. Will be returning and avoiding Starbucks or other similar places. Oh, and the prices are ridiculously affordable. Wishlist: Would love to see them utilize this space better, if only to give me more excuses to come hang out. Also, give me a 32oz size option for iced drinks, or just IV bags of your coffee so I can get it mainlined into my veins."

"I haven't actually been to the cafe itself but the coffee is absolutely delicious, and an unbeatable price even by what generic low quality supermarket coffee charges. Quick delivery - I order 2 lbs at a time for $25 (that's 32oz - most brands charge $16 for just 12oz) and it's usually delivered next or even the same day. Highly recommend"

"Café Zamora is a Portland gem. Fantastic coffee available packaged or by the cup, Guatemalan tamales, and cool shop setup. The owner (Hector) is such a friendly guy who is always fun to talk to. They have a really great story and socially conscious business model. I recently bought some of their coffee as presents via their website and was amazed at how quickly and effectively it got delivered. Highly recommend checking them out at the shop or by buying their beans at Market of Choice or online!"
