The Local - Milwaukie

This small coffee shop is operated by two amazing people. they had the absolutely best coffee and amazing good baked goods. every time you drive mcloughlin, I'd stop there, you won't be let down.

I have been going here since David and Tina bought it. The coffee is from Mudd Works Roastery. In my opinion this is some of the best beans available that are roasted here in Portland. The staff are friendly, fast, and knowledgeable.

I was shocked to see there were low reviews for this place, then I realized it was all about the old owners!!!! I visited this spot last week, and loved talking to the owner. He loves what he does, and isn’t scared to learn new tricks. They make quality fresh coffee, with some throwback recipes to show love for the past. He made such an impression on me and my boyfriend, that we will definitely go out of our way to visit. I love supporting fellow business owners, and I wish this family the best in this adventure as owners of this cute coffee spot. PS. THE CINNAMON ROLL coffee is life changing, and I’m on my way to grab another one right now!

The food, drinks, and service are incredible. They have become my go-to place that I always return to.

The new management has really turned things around this year, and the team here is absolutely fantastic. If you haven't tried this coffee shop yet, give it a chance; and if you had a less-than-great experience under the previous management, I encourage you to return. These young folks are brewing amazing coffee, preparing delicious energy-boosting drinks, and mixing up some delightful beverages as well!
