The Fresh Pot - Portland

Lovely coffee spot inside the Powell Books on Hawthorne Blvd. Great coffee, yummy snacks and obviously a great place to read a book.

Deliciously crafted coffee. Vibes are immaculate. The art makes you sit and think. I like it

Best iced coffee I've ever had!! My friend and I ordered the same drink, sat down on some nice comfortable chairs, and were just starting our conversation when 5 minutes later we were told nicely they were closing. I had taken 2 sips. I'll let you guess why I gave 3 stars.

It's cool that it's there but I didn't feel comfortable with the interaction I had with the cashier. Maybe it's cause I'm a white dude I don't know lmao.

Stop #7 On The One Day Portland Adventure TLDR This coffee shop is high quality, with minimal seating. I needed this stop. Not only was the coffee super tasty, but the day of adventure was becoming a little abstract. But what stop was this? Did it count as a separate stop since it was technically inside Powell 's? Either way, it was a welcome interlude after the first 6 stops of the day. I had to put on my earphones to avoid the break up conversation happening next to me. (I am totally not kidding). The decaf iced americano was delicious. Vibrant. Nutty. Great water to espresso ratio. Furthermore, this was a perfect place to sit and plan my next adventure place. I noticed that there was a theater across the street that was showing movies, but I worried that if I didn 't keep moving, I might get sleepy. The lady at a previous business had recommended I check out Mount Tabor. So armed with Yelp and Google maps I decided to check out how far away it was. Since there was a plethora of lime, scooters and lots of neighborhoods between the coffee shop and the park, I decided that it would be my next stop. But not before spending a good 30 minutes reading a book and enjoying the delicious iced Americano.
