Forte Portland - Jennings Lodge

Hands down one of my favorite places to visit. The atmosphere is fantastic, drinks are great and they have plenty of options for goodies. Come here when you want to relax, visit and be in a classy setting while also being comfy.

This is the BEST COFFEE SHOP in all of Portland!AMAZING drinks, decor ambiance, soft classy music you'll almost want to dance to on the open floor, separate cool table areas, loads of privacy -distanced sitting areas, SHUFFLE BOARD, all the flavors for coffee, I think that's a business catering area room.. business classy yet also CASUAL!

I love this coffee shop. It’s relaxed, spacious, the coffee menu and light food offerings are delicious, and the service is always welcoming and friendly. It’s also a wine bar!

A good place is a little pricey but worth a nibble or two if you're in the area. So I'd recommend just for the sense of adventure

I was recently visiting Portland and while walking back to my hotel from the Saturday Market I noticed Forte and decided to stop in to grab coffee.I 'll admit I didn 't have high hopes as it was tucked into an office building and was branded as a coffee shop and bar. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised! The guy helping me was friendly and while they didn 't have any signature drinks, he explained they are known for the coffee beans they use. I opted for a vanilla latte with almond milk as that is my safe drink when I 'm not familiar with a spot. The latte had the perfect balance of sweetness, while still allowing the coffee to shine through. I can see why they are known for the coffee they use, it 's smooth and robust!While I was just grabbing my coffee to-go, if you were looking for a place to hang out for a bit this would be a cool spot. They had plenty of games and spots to chill, which lends to the evening hours for the bar as well.I 'm sure this is a pretty popular spot during the work week and at night!
