Crema's Take
“Fressen's outrageously good German pastries—especially their almond varieties—are reason enough to make the trip, and the Biergarten seating makes it a genuinely appealing spot to linger over coffee with friends. The coffee itself leans toward brighter, more acidic notes, and while the cappuccino art won't win beauty contests, the flavor is solid and the service is genuinely warm even when things get busy. This is quintessential Portland quirk done right: authentic, unpretentious, and built around pastries that people actually become regulars for.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Fressen’s pastries are amazing. The staff are also friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect. I love bring people here and trying all the different pastries.
