Braking Cycles 3354 Southeast Powell Boulevard, Portland, OR 97202

"Great tasting treats and coffee and very friendly staff. Please support this non-profit shop that helps at-risk youth."

"They make a good cup of coffee and are doing amazing work. The person who was training was so kind and respectful and the person being trained did great! In this wild world we live in, it was such a wonderful start to my day to see such kindness and have such tasty coffee!"

"Came in to get my bicycle fixed. Wow. Classic Portland. Not the over done "Portland Weird" cliche, but instead, a cool fusion of small coffee house and bike shop that is trying to make the world a better place in its own little way. Damn, i miss that optimism and willingness to help and educate others."

"Had a coffee and conversation here a few days ago with friends. First the coffee was great, but more than that this place is really interesting. The floor is covered in pennies of various shades that make patterns. We were told that you could see them better through the lens of your phone camera and that appears to be true. In the back there is a bike shop. The not-so-secret to Braking Cycles is that it helps fund a nonprofit that helps youth get off the street and into housing. What an excellent way to spend a few bucks on coffee."
