Dear Sandy

This place is a Portland gem. Amazing vibes! They had fantastic drinks. Very inclusive food and the best ambiance. Cozy romantic cool vintage, and more. Very interesting drinks. Both Cafe drinks and bar beverages and I love that they were so inclusive with vegetarian options, gluten-free options, and zero proof options. Very important. I highly highly recommend.

I came here early to drop in for some coffee and tried the sage matcha which was delicious with a slightly bitter taste. I will definitely come back again to try the other flavors. There is plenty of seating inside, including couches in the middle. It looks like a great location to study, and it is spread out enough to not be too noisy inside.

As everyone says the vibes are immaculate here, there’s lots of different types of seating which is great, they host cute events and community pop ups plus the seasonal Fear Sandy and Dear Santa menus have been so fun! I love that the whole menu is available all hours and they are open so many hours you really can get a tasty cocktail, coffee or snack anytime! 😍

Okey of the best organic chai teas that I've had. Service was cordial and quick when working on your drink but they were under staffed so it felt slow if it wasn't your turn yet haha nice seating with comfortable couches and chairs too. Decor is cool and lighting is dimmed/dark. Music was a little louder than what I consider ideal but that's also subjective.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time at this hidden gem, and I was pleasantly surprised. Dear Sandy delivers something special—mixing cozy café comfort with the energy of a low-key bar. The space was decked out for Halloween, adding just the right amount of spooky charm without overdoing it. Not to forget, the staff is patient with you as you will be with them. Warm and inviting to guests and will really take their time 1 on 1 before moving onto another customer. This level of hospitality and respect goes a long way! Inside, vintage furniture and funky light installations created a perfect balance of warmth and quirk. On this particular night, people were working, trading books, and sipping themed drinks. It felt like a space that encourages creativity and community—definitely worth a return visit. I’ll have to check it out during the day!
