Golden Hour Coffee
3538 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Golden Hour Coffee floods its Hawthorne corner with natural light and a genuinely welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger for hours, whether you're studying or just soaking in the friendly energy. The owner's infectious personality shines through the space, and while their espresso roast is more delicate than bold, the real stars are their creative signature drinks—especially the coconut matcha and that showstopping churro latte—paired with beautiful, crave-worthy pastries that taste as good as they look. This is the kind of place where the baristas remember you're human, the seating invites you to stay, and the whole atmosphere just feels like a warm hug.”

wow, wow, wow!!! I went for the vegan treats but was even more impressed by the friendly and hilarious owner, the cozy and light-filled atmosphere, & the delicious & creative drinks (I had a churro latte). spent a very pleasant 30 minutes journaling and already can't wait to go back again. plus, the cruffin I tried was so good that I got another one to go, and brought it to my partner who was delighted to have a vegan strawberry cream cheese sourdough cruffin. what a time to be alive, thank you Golden Hour, see you again soon
This is a lovely café. Everything was perfect, but the roast of the espresso is why I only gave it four stars. It’s not the style of espresso I like. The pastries were beautiful and delicious, the staff was friendly and quick to fill our order. I loved drinking out of a beautiful ceramic mug. The art on top of the foam was beautiful.
Unsweetened hot matcha latte and hot coco ate delicious. I love the seating and the environment. I love the street view of Hawthorne. The baristas are very very friendly.
decent hot matcha and not too sweet which i like! probably would try another drink next time but the service was amazing and the atmosphere was very welcoming and homey!
The mood of the place is amazing! I love their coconut matcha, I would give the drinks a solid 4.2/5 because matcha could be stronger. Besides that we studied here for 4 hours and it was amazing!
