“This beloved SE Portland institution perfectly blends nostalgia with great coffee, offering an unexpectedly delightful combo of specialty espresso drinks and an impressive 50-flavor milkshake menu alongside a curated DVD rental selection that feels like stepping into an 80s time capsule.

It's the kind of place that reminds you why local, quirky gathering spots matter—where coffee excellence meets pure joy.”
