The Great North
7373 N Burlington Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“This cozy espresso-focused spot has won over the neighborhood with genuinely excellent coffee and a staff that treats every order with care and consistency, whether you're ordering a perfectly pulled shot or one of their standout matcha drinks. The bright, welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to linger over a sandwich and cappuccino, and regulars praise the kind presence of the team who seem to genuinely enjoy making your morning better. It's the kind of place that quietly becomes part of your routine—reliable, warm, and worth the visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.
