Kalesa Coffee

"Had their pandan cream soda, really yummy. Friendly staff and a small but cozy atmosphere. I went in the morning and didn't have any problem finding 2 hour parking on Albina."

"A small coffee shop that is almost hidden if you don't know where to go. They have a small assortment of drinks to choose from that aren't your typical drinks. I really enjoyed the coconut cold brew with ube whip and the honey ginger latte with pandan whip. If you want something refreshing, the mango calamansi is the stick to choose. Overall, it's a pretty cool spot to check out."

"Aghhh I always love going to Kalesa Coffee to start my day! I’ve gone a few times, and it never disappoints!! Tim is usually the barista when I visit, and he has such a nice, bubbling, friendly personality!"

"Wow, talk about a STRONG newcomer to the Portland cafe scene!!! I feel like it takes a lot to even make a splash in a coffee city as saturated as Portland, but Kalesa is a whole tidal wave!! Their drinks are amazing, point blank. But what really sets them apart is their originality. Like, where else you gettin ube whip on a drink??? They have delicious baked goods by some of the most talented pastry chefs in the entire Pacific Northwest, and I love the space they’ve curated. To top it all off, the staff is so friendly!!!"

"Kalesa has such a cute space with incredibly kind staff and tasty drinks. I've been a few times now, and everything from the ube whipped cream to a shot of espresso has been great. They also have an incredibly good granola with yogurt and papaya. Seating is a touch limited but I've never had an issue finding a spot to hang out for a bit. Definitely would recommend and I'm sure I'll be back often."
