Grounded NW

"Went into the shop with my partner, Asked for a hot/steamed water to go along with my personal tea packets to start out day before we head out and about. Waitress glanced over me and my partner,seen our bags and that we were peopel of color and denied us and said due to recent circumstances they are not allowed to give out hot water without being a customer. EVEN tho previous coffee tender yesterday gave me a hot water free of charge. I’m not sure what circumstances changed within 24 hours but I felt a wave of prejudice and racism coming from the waitress when hot water is not an questionable expense"

"I love old school coffee shops, where you can sit and watch people and maybe get some work done. This little spot on Burnside is clean, cozy, and welcoming. I stopped in after one of my regular trips to ScrapPDX because I needed a place with WiFi to join a Zoom call. It was perfect, and the coffee was great. Nice art too! This is how coffee shops *used* to be in NW Portland. I'll be back!"

"Beautiful little cafe that clearly cares very much for the local community and supporting local creators. The barista was very friendly and made sure to check how I liked my drink, and clearly knew the regulars very well. Definitely plan on coming back more often!"

"Nice chill coffee shop right on burnside. Quiet street on the side, good music and good drinks. They have coconut milk her which not all the coffee shops carry. Great wall art when I was in. Classic coffee shop style. Turns out there is an Art Show every first friday of the month where they also have live music."

"This is a very fun little coffee shop with good coffee and perfect decor! The art in the walls was beautiful, and apparently they feature art from local artists, which was very fun to look at! My favorite part was the live plants everywhere."
