Crema's Take
“Blue Kangaroo nails the Portland coffee shop formula with a genuinely laid-back vibe where you'll see regulars camped out with laptops, dogs lounging on the patio, and families treating it like a second living room—all while the family-roasting team behind the counter actually cares about getting your espresso right. Their pour-overs and specialty drinks are solid, but what keeps people coming back is how the whole operation feels unhurried and welcoming, whether you're grabbing a to-go cup or settling in for hours with excellent pastries.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

I passed by Blue Kangaroo by chance and thought their patio/parklet in the shade looks very nice so I sat down to get my overdue morning coffee. Their service is friendly and coffee is quite decent too. It looks like they roast their own beans in house, an independent coffee…
