40 LBS Coffee Bar
824 SW 2nd Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“40 LBS Coffee Bar is a woodsy, thoughtfully designed refuge in Southwest Portland that excels equally at espresso-focused coffee and craft cocktails, making it rare among coffee shops for its full bar offering. The space strikes an impressive balance between a serious specialty coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming spot to linger—whether you're working solo, meeting friends, or settling in for an evening of well-crafted drinks. Staff warmth and attention to detail shine through in everything from the perfectly executed lattes to the Vietnamese coffee, all served in one of Portland's most aesthetically cohesive and Instagram-worthy spaces.”

Stopped in for a private evening party, so can’t speak to normal day to day operations, but the couple hours I spent here were sweet. Service was fabulous, drinks and cocktails were well-mixed and interesting and the tall-ceilinged space manages to feel intimate, somehow, but relaxed and airy. Is that possible? It felt that way tonight. Kudos to the staff for their hard work and cool drink service.
This is my favorite coffee shop in the SW Portland area. Stylish and relaxing, and the staff are always friendly. The coffee, lattes—everything is good, and the bánh mì had great flavor and was really tasty. Even the small size felt big. I’ll definitely come back.
Definitely in my top 5 for most aesthetic coffee shops in Portland. The woodsy pattern everywhere gives it a cozy, welcoming feel. Highly recommend!
This is a stunning space. The ambiance is beautiful and there is something for everyone. The coffee was also amazing and beautiful. There is a space for working/studying, space to hang out with friends etc. a place for games and even TV. And then my preference spots to cozy up on to relax sip and read!
Its been awhile since I've back here. I forgot about the full bar that they have as well as the regular cofeee/tea drinks. I had the iced vietnamese coffee (with a lil milk added to make it less sweet) and it was great. The inherit is nicely designed and gives that welcoming vibe to it.
