If you’re looking for a good cup of coffee, Oregon
is the place to be. Your only problem (besides falling asleep later) may be narrowing down your choices from small roasters getting big attention in Bend
to a heavy hitter in Portland
who arguably started the craft coffee revolution. Too much great coffee is a quality problem, and there’s an embarrassment of riches in the beautiful state of Oregon. If you’re a fan of coffee, you already know this—coffee is a cultural way of life in the Beaver State, and Oregon brews are known worldwide for being amongst the finest.
Here to top your cup off is Jerry
, the all-around super app
for car owners who knows just how much oat milk you like. We’ve compiled a shortlist of noteworthy coffee shops in Oregon for you to explore, but really—you could throw a rock up here and hit the next best cup of joe. Enjoy! RECOMMENDEDNo spam or unwanted phone calls · No long forms
Albina Press
Address: 4637 N Albina Ave, Portland, OR 97217
Opening hours: Daily, 6 am to 8 pm
Locals know that the beloved Albina Press is one of the best cups of coffee north of Burnside. An airy, welcoming interior with comfy leather couches and well-trod wooden floors make for a great spot to meet a friend, get some work done, or just sit and watch the people go by.
The folks at Albina take their coffee seriously, and two Albina Coffee alums have branched out to start their own highly esteemed coffee enterprises—Coava Coffee Roasters
and Barista
. You’ll find Coava beans being served at an abundance of Portland coffee shops (Albina Press included), so you can enjoy a two-for-one with some of the finest beans in the city at one of the best shops around. Open since 2004, Albina Press is a long-standing staple in the Portland coffee community and is regarded as a major figure in the craft coffee revolution of the late 90s and early 00s. With no real website to speak of and a fairly scant presence on social media, you’ll just have to get to know Albina press the old-fashioned way—which is kind of the point.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Address: 4525 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97206 (original location)
Opening hours: M-F 6:30 am to 5 pm, weekends 7:30 am to 5 pm
It would be remiss to talk about Oregon coffee and not show some love and respect to Stumptown
—considered by many to be the “One That Started It All” when it comes to the third wave of coffee culture as we know it. Dating back to 1999 but still considered a Portland staple, Stumptown has expanded (and thrived) into some prime java-loving territories like Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Orleans. In a town where coffee shops come and go like raindrops, the fact that Stumptown still stands tall and has risen to national renown is impressive in and of itself. Stop by their original location, have a cup of Hairbender (named after the salon that was previously in the spot) and you’ll see why Stumptown is a Portland icon and a favorite of many.

RECOMMENDEDThis app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message!
