Ovation Coffee & Tea
1810 SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Ovation Coffee & Tea is a Portland gem where exceptional hospitality meets genuinely creative beverages—think Moroccan pistachio lattes, lavender matcha, and an affogato dessert that lives up to its Instagram buzz. The team moves with impressive speed and grace, whether you're grabbing a perfectly executed espresso or settling in with a flaky scone and specialty tea, making it feel like they genuinely care about getting your order just right. With spacious seating and a welcoming vibe, it's the kind of place worth the extra trip because the drinks and service are truly on another level.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.
