“ Delicious espresso and top tier baristas! I walked in and the staff were very kind, had a welcoming atmosphere and you can tell the baristas are very experienced which is something i appreciate about local coffee shops. ”
“ Never was good! Glad we came to try it. Small little shop, with some nice spots to sit outside. It was fun to pop in with a crew and sit outside for a bit on a brisk Sunday morning. We liked the drinks we got. There are some interesting signature drinks. I was afraid to commit to them, but I'd be down to try them in the future. Solid specialty coffee ”
“ Visiting Portland again and always have to make a stop at Never Coffee. I remember how good the yuzu salt latte was so I had to come back and get it again! They had way more specialty drinks this time and I also tried the Pop! Drinks came out quick (even though I ask for my latte extra hot) and both of the baristas were very kind and helpful! Good vibes in this coffee shop! ”
“ I enjoyed a yuzu & salt latte at Never Coffee and would highly recommend this coffee shop! The latte itself was so unique and different! The two gentlemen behind the counter were super friendly and my coffee was made super quick! The inside of the shop was fun and colorful - certainly worth stopping in!! ”
“ I live for a cute coffee shop. I just so happen to stumble upon this coffee shop waiting for my husband to get off work and was in love with the overall contemporary, airy vibes it gave. The barista was such a doll and made great conversation. ”
“ I frequent both Never Coffee locations. I will usually grab myself a coffee at their Belmont location and then stop at Tabor Bread for a pastry (or 3), and I'll go to their downtown location when Im grabbing coffee with coworkers. The downtown location has a plenty of seating space and is an artistic minimalist space. They have seasonal and delicious specialty drinks with my favorites being the Yuzu + Salt and the Oregon (cascade hops, dulce de leche, and sea salt) with oat milk. While I'm a big fan of what they do, the specialty drinks with oat milk will run you $9...The prices at never are higher than most other similar spots, and for that reason im giving it a 4/5. ”
“ Quick Summary: - Indoor seats only, benches, chairs, and some seats aligned along the walls - Cozy atmosphere - Coffee was slightly sour, but it worked well with the special latte drink style I visited here during the summer of Portland, and it also was the hottest day in that visit. We arrived here, when the temperature was creeping up to the high 80s. From the outside, the building is painted black on brick. It looked like it would absorb every color of the sun's rays into the building. Inside, miraculously, was not as hot as I expected it to be (maybe it's half-thanks to the brick building?) It was lukewarm at the time but if I stayed there longer it might have grown stuffier. Inside the decor was simple, small, but cute. Despite the small interior, there were seats to sit around. I was curious with their special drinks, so I ordered the yuzu and salt iced latte (usually I would have ordered it hot, but that day was just too hot). My relative ordered the iced tea. They make the iced coffee and teas very well: the right amount of ice and tea that ever after the drink sits the ice did not water down the flavor. It might sound unexpected for the cafe, but my relative really enjoyed the tea. She was beaming when she took a sip. I enjoyed the coffee I chose as well. While it was sour, because the flavors were also on the sour and salty side, it worked. My relative didn't think so, so she continued to sip her tea. The flavor reaction depends on the person would be my final verdict. A positive addition to this drink, because the weather was so hot, I enjoyed the light salt and citrus flavor. It rejuvenated me from heat fatigue. Overall, the cafe was nice and comfortable to let time slip by; the staff were considerate and explained the different types of teas they offered before I landed on the one that turned out to be my relative's favorite. ”
“ Delicious espresso and drip! I don't always love ristretto-style espresso but the barista here did a great job and clearly had it dialed in. The space is cute, bright, and lively with colorful art around the walls. One of the many great choices you can make when deciding on coffee shops in the city! ”
“ Super cute cafe - maintained cleanly, quite spacious and nice place to grab coffee and hangout. The specials had nice and fun coffee options. Service is pretty quick too. ”
