Above GRND Coffee

The atmosphere is so relaxing and inviting. I was in fear of it being cold because of the size of the building but it was nice and toasty! I got the GRND SZN and an egg and cheese bagel, both were so good! The bagel was soft and toasted perfectly. nice fluffy eggs and gooey cheese. This latte was life!! The spices were so warming and soothing...just perfect!! Great for meet ups, quick meetings and just enjoying ! Can wait to go back!

Finding a spot like Above Grnd in PDX feels like finding a hidden gem with a genuine heartbeat for the local community. The matcha is excellent, its smooth, perfectly whisked, and earthy without being overly precious or trendy. While the drink is great, the calm energy of the space is what actually makes the experience. Sitting in the shop and seeing the creative artwork of the city there makes you feel like you are part of something real. Its more than just a place to get caffeine, it is a solid connection to the local culture that makes it worth the visit.

Above Grnd Coffee has quickly become one of my absolute favorite coffee spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay, relax, and enjoy every minute of your visit. The space is bright, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect environment for a morning coffee run or a quiet place to get some work done. The coffee here is truly exceptional. You can tell right away that they take their craft seriously. Every drink is prepared with precision and care, and the flavors are always rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Their espresso is bold and aromatic, their lattes are incredibly silky, and the specialty drinks are creative without being overly sweet. I love that they use high-quality beans and clearly know how to pull the perfect shot every time. Their pastries and small bites are also fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to any drink. Whether you grab a croissant, a muffin, or one of their seasonal treats, you really can’t go wrong. The staff deserves a special shout-out as well. Everyone who works here is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to greet customers, offer recommendations, and make every visit feel personal. It’s refreshing to see a team that consistently delivers such great service. Above Grnd Coffee isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a place that makes your day better. With top-tier coffee, amazing service, and a great atmosphere, this café stands out from so many others. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality coffee experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Love a new local spot. Coffee is so good. Drip, lattes- they make a specialty with banana milk. It’s dope.

The place is located inside a shoe shop, part of the loft ( upstairs). The coffee shop plays serene music. It was quiet when I was there. The banana split drink tasted exactly like the dessert. The outlets are located near the wall . The wifi was strong enough. There is a mix of couch seating, tables and high top tables. I would totally visit again since they are the few coffeeshops in the area that open past 3. The restroom could of been in better condition. The canister had empty toliet rolls and only one stall had toliet paper.
