Puff Coffee
2816-A SE Stark St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Puff Coffee has earned its reputation as a cozy, aesthetically pleasing spot with genuinely friendly staff and a great playlist that makes lingering feel as natural as grabbing a quick espresso. While the execution can be inconsistent—some visitors rave about stellar drinks and efficient service during busy hours, while others found flavors underwhelming or preparation lapses—the shop shines brightest when you're there to soak in the vibe rather than seeking cutting-edge specialty coffee. Their strength lies in creating a welcoming atmosphere where both traditional lattes and pour-overs feel at home, even if the beans themselves occasionally don't quite match the charm of the space.”

pretty mid. they were super busy when i went and there were dirty napkins/cups left on most of the empty tables. my drink was okay but they forgot my syrup. staff was nice enough to fix it but i had to wait another 5 mins. just okay
I've heard great things about them, but they didn't quite hit the mark for me. The latte in the shop was fine, and I picked up a bag of "Spirit Lifter" beans. They don't have many light roast or single origin options, and for me, the beans were hard to tune in and didn't match my palate.
The servers were soooo nice. We visited this shop as part of the Portland cafe passport and so far it has been the least good of all the shops. The chai was weak tasting and not flavorful The coconut cold brew was bland. Bland bland bland. I sadly won't be back.
This spot was so cute and cozy. It had a great playlist, and a wonderful aesthetic. It was busy but the staff moved quickly and was so efficient. The coffee was so good and the ambiance was perfect for a good conversation over a latte or a cortado (both recommended) and a pastry, because they do all of it so well.
Messed up the photo because I couldn’t resist taking a sip of my oat milk cappuccino haha. This place is super cute, filled with friendly staff and amazing drinks. Some food options, but it’s limited; and that’s ok.
