Crema's Take

Proud Mary is a Portland institution that seamlessly marries exceptional espresso-forward coffee with genuinely impressive brunch fare, creating a warm gathering spot where coffee nerds and casual diners alike feel equally welcomed. The modern-but-cozy atmosphere and thoughtful service make it easy to linger over a meticulously crafted pour over and one of their legendary seasonal hotcakes, which reviewers consistently praise as worth the wait. Whether you're ordering from the sidewalk window or settling in at the bar for conversation, you'll experience the kind of culinary attention to detail—from stellar flavor profiles to creative signature drinks—that transforms a coffee run into a memorable experience.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
