Rough Russian Cafe
10918 SE Division St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the Roman Russian Market, Rough Russian Cafe serves up authentic Turkish coffee in traditional individual pots alongside Eastern European breakfast classics like potato pierogies and crepes, all presented with genuine care and attention to detail. The unhurried, family-friendly atmosphere invites you to linger over a leisurely meal or specialty tea service—think black tea arriving on a platter with honey and lemon—making it as much about the experience as the exceptional food. Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in to meet a friend, this intimate spot celebrates real, unrushed hospitality with each visit.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

A coffee shop inside the Roman Russian Market. The ambience is relaxed. Service is good. I had a beef sausage and vegetable crepe and sea buckthorn tea and passed (with regret) on a pistachio eclair. The crepe was made to order. Prices are in line with the high quality of the…
