Crema's Take

Bison Coffee House is a bustling Portland gem where espresso excellence meets genuine community spirit, anchored by their skillfully crafted traditional drinks and a small-but-mighty space built around generous communal tables perfect for lingering conversations or focused work. Their medium and dark roast espressos shine in drinks like lattes that inspire devoted regulars, complemented by a rotating selection of fresh pastries and light fare that rewards a cash-preferred visit. Whether you're joining a creative storyboard session with colleagues or claiming a seat solo with your laptop, the exceptionally warm staff and clean, welcoming atmosphere make this the kind of local spot that feels like a genuine third place.

Such a cute place. Pretty small but they have a bunch of seating in large communal tables. I got an iced vanilla latte with cinnamon powder (medium roast espresso) and a bacon cheese biscuit. Coffee was good and so was the food!! Would go again! They give a cash discount also

On the 4th of December 2025. I took a group to work on a storyboard, and we had an excellent time. The atmosphere was great, and the customers and staff were very kind and exceptional in their approach to us. Even when I spilled my coffee at the very end, the customers were very endearing and helpful, making it a fun and inviting time. Special note: The lady who was so kind in replacing my coffee that I spilled hopes to talk to you soon.

Delicious coffee and yummy muffin top. I appreciate the wonderful service and variety of pastries. The dining area is clean and offers a great space for getting some work done. Cash is preferred, they offer a discount if you use cash. Cards are accepted.

I will forever dream of my latte from here. I got a dark roast espresso vanilla latte and I am in heaven. It was divine! We love supporting local coffee shops and we had just come from the airport. Talk about a way to begin a vacation! Will come back if we are in town again! Lots of pastries and bagels with salmon cream cheese, very good! Lots of indoor and outdoor patio seating, baristas super nice and patient. Loved our visit!
