Best Friend Cafe - Smoothie Heaven
2832 SE Gladstone St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Best Friend Juice & Espresso has evolved from a beloved food truck into a sparkling brick-and-mortar destination where creative, naturally-sweetened bowls and nourishing juices steal the spotlight just as much as their carefully crafted coffee drinks. The vibe here is genuinely family-friendly and clean, with customers raving about signature creations like the Blue Mana and thoughtfully made salad rolls and avocado toast that actually justify their price. It's the kind of place where your 60-year-old self and your 20-year-old self can both find something to love, whether you're after a high-quality cold-pressed juice, a specialty smoothie bowl, or a quick espresso drink.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
