Caffe Umbria
710 SW Madison St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused Portland institution crafts beautifully aromatic drinks with precision, earning particular praise for classics like the con panna with their rare house-made whipped cream. The small but thoughtfully designed space draws regulars who keep returning for the consistently excellent baristas and that rare coffee shop magic where you feel genuinely welcomed rather than just transactional. Fresh pastries like their blueberry Danish pair perfectly with pour overs and creative signature drinks, though their seasonal flavors can be hit-or-miss depending on your sweetness preference.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Incredibly delicious espresso. Highly recommend a con panna, gives you the perfect amount of espresso to taste, plus house-made whipped cream which is rare to find. Small but really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff!
The lavender latte was WAY too sweet I had to throw it away half way through because it tasted like straight syrup. Too bad bc I was really excited to try this place when in Portland !
The coffee here is beautifully aromatic, and the blueberry Danish was an absolute treat. Everything tastes fresh and perfectly flaky. The space is inviting and thoughtfully designed, and the smiling, attentive staff make you want to slow down, settle in, and enjoy every moment.…
We’ve been coming here for years. Tried other spots but this is home. Ant (Anthony?) and Jonny and Jenny and all the other baristas are top-notch for quality and chat. You’re not just a paying customer here, you quickly feel like a friend. I wish the food options changed with…
I love the place its have big space, and so many choices for coffee and dessert. Also, they have sandwiches if you want to eat.
