Crema's Take
“Neo Cafe's specialty drinks—think baklava lattes and smoked butterscotch concoctions—elevate what could be a standard coffee run into something genuinely craveable, backed up by impeccably executed classics like vanilla lattes with unexpected depth. Sam, the owner, has built a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a laptop or pastry, and the laid-back vibe with thoughtful music selection proves this place understands the difference between a cafe and a destination. If you're in Portland and want creative drinks made by someone who actually cares, this is worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

See all on Google →I found this place on Google with a five-star rating, so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be perfect! The vanilla latte was super yummy — I didn’t expect something so simple to taste this good.
Cute spot! Amazing coffee! Sam is great! Love the vibe! My fav is the ube latte!
The tasty coffee with pretty latte art has sweetened our journey in Portland. Recommend the Baklava Latte♡ The shop owner is also very welcoming and nice :)
I didn't try any of the food, but the tea was fantastic. Sam is a great owner and very nice to talk with while you're hanging out and working. The atmosphere is laid back with a nice volume of music in the background. Highly recommend checking out this place if you are around!
