Monte Rossa Cafe
327 NW 4th Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Portland's Old Town, Monte Rossa is a beloved neighborhood cornerstone where Rob and his genuinely welcoming team craft exceptional espresso drinks and made-to-order sandwiches at prices that feel like a gift. This intimate spot has earned fierce local loyalty for its no-fuss authenticity—think perfectly pulled cappuccinos and Italian subs that deserve their 10/10 ratings—making it the kind of place visitors should skip the chains for and locals return to daily.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
