Our Spot
1816 S River Dr, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Our Spot is a waterfront gem that feels like a secret despite its glowing reputation, nestled right along Portland's scenic path with a dreamy, plant-filled interior and outdoor seating that makes lingering irresistible. Beyond stellar espresso drinks crafted by baristas like Sasha who nail the temperature every time, they're known for their exceptional chai and matcha, plus an inventive zero-waste approach where you get a dollar back for returning your reusable drink jar. The whole vibe—lively music, cozy decor, and proximity to both the water and a garden park—makes it equally perfect for a quick specialty drink or settling in with your laptop for hours.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Cute spot for sitting outside in the sun by the waterfront. When Sasha is working the coffee is hot, not burned, perfectly hot and delicious. I've loved my lattes from her every time. I appreciate the house made nut milk - made and delivered by the previous owner who was a…
I gotta join the others and give it 5 stars! First, it's the cutest, and the littlest coffee shop ever. It's nestled by the waterfront, public restrooms (decent ones too) and a garden, very convenient. My iced vanilla latte was really tasty. It was quite expensive, but worth…
