Annex Coffee
1315 SE 20th Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Annex Coffee feels less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a creative sanctuary, with thoughtfully designed spaces ranging from cozy living room nooks to focused wall counters, even private phone booths for when you need to step away. Their espresso-forward approach pairs beautifully with the mellow vibe and practical perks like free water in lovely cups, WiFi, and a printer, making it equally suited for serious work sessions or meaningful conversations over a carefully crafted shot. The staff's genuine warmth—from remembering regular needs to accommodating everything from Bible studies to business calls—transforms this into a gathering place where you're clearly welcomed as more than just a transaction.”
What to expect
