Crema's Take
“Tucked into a charming converted transit shelter on Portland's brick streets, this espresso-focused spot serves bold signature creations like the beloved Tiramisu latte and creative Ube latte that have customers returning multiple times a week. The tiny glass-walled kiosk is built for quick, quality grabs with a retro transit aesthetic and MAX trains rushing by, making it the perfect weekday morning stop for those who know exceptional coffee. Their thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks and consistently welcoming staff have earned devoted fans who travel back just to taste what they've been craving since their first visit.”

Just can’t believe that I never took time to try coffee here. This place has always been on my list of places to try coffee. Finally made it here on a weekday morning and tried Ube latte and Maple Oat latte. Absolutely loved the Ube latte. It wasn’t too sweet and it has a subtle natural flavour of Ube. Couldn’t capture pictures since I was excited to try but it was made gorgeous. The maple oat latte was delicious too. Their house made syrups are no joke. Will definitely be back to try more on their menu.
I work in construction a block away and come here a couple times a week during my morning break for either a chai latte or ube latte. My coworkers love the Tiramisu latte. Everyone who works here is super friendly and makes an effort to get to know you. I sometimes get the pastries and they are great too. I think this place is reasonably priced for Portland. They have a rewards system too if you buy 7 drinks you get one free.
This was the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. I came to Oregon in August and have not been able to stop thinking about the tiramisu latte ever since. We came every morning to get coffee from here and the staff is very nice. I am sadly on the east coast but my girlfriend and I might fly back just to get this coffee again! I need the recipe lol
Fun coffee spot right on the bricks! Tiny, glass-walled converted transit shelter featuring retro transit infographics. The MAX trains will bustle by through the cooridor of gargantuan buildings. Great coffee and treats, easy to chat for a second with the expert baristas ansld simple seating along the ends outside.
Cute standalone kiosk with to-go only service. There are two stool chairs on one end during our quick stop if you really need to linger, but it’s not designed to be a hangout spot. It’s a good grab-and-go stop while walking through downtown or bouncing between places. We made a quick stop after lunch for the first time on Sunday, 7/27 around 2:30pm. No line. Service was quick and friendly. I asked about their second location, it’s just another kiosk, not a full cafe. We ordered: -Tiramisu Latte – $7.50 -Black Sesame Cream Latte – $7.50 -Hojicha Latte w/ Oat Milk – $6.25 The Black Sesame was our favorite of the three. The Tiramisu Latte didn’t stand out, we’ve had better. The Hojicha Latte was the crowd favorite. One thing to note: both the tiramisu and sesame lattes had a bit of acidity that we don’t typically prefer. We usually lean toward lower or none acidity coffee drinks. Overall, we liked it enough to return if we’re in the area, but wouldn’t go out of our way for it. Metered street parking around downtown Portland. Tip: come on Sundays before 1pm for free parking. No restroom available, standalone kiosk only.
