Saint Simon Coffee Co. - Brazee

Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused gem in Portland has earned its reputation as a destination shop where the baristas clearly obsess over the details that matter—perfectly balanced extractions, precisely frothed milk, and creative seasonal drinks that actually deliver (their pumpkin spice latte has reportedly converted skeptics). The open, inviting space and genuinely friendly counter staff create the kind of environment where you'll want to linger over a meticulously crafted cortado and a pastry, making it equally suited for a solo coffee ritual or catching up with a friend.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Definitely a “destination coffee shop” in a great neighborhood. Open space, friendly people behind the counter, great coffee drinks and tasty pastries all come together to make it a Coffee Shop inviting a return visit.
Great spot for a quality cup of coffee—rich flavor, perfectly balanced, and brewed with care. The bakery items are fine, but the coffee is definitely the star of the show. A must-visit for true coffee lovers. ☕
At long last, a specialty coffee shop unafraid of attempting to make pumpkin spice cool again. Ama’s love for this spicy gourd concoction is contagious, and their execution is flawless. 10/10 latte, would slurp again.
Nice little out of the way coffee shop. A tad expensive for what you get, though. I had an iced chai latte, and it was good and spicy. They come unsweetened, especially since too much sugar isn't great for you. You can add your own sweetener and they have Stevia if you're…
Fantastic Cortados and matching friendly service! Impressed by the correct temperature of the espresso and frothed texture of the milk.
