Crema's Take
“Marino Cafe pulls off a genuinely European café experience on SE Division with cappuccinos that taste like they were pulled in Florence and a rotating cast of creative drinks like Turkish coffee and Mayan Mocha that actually deliver on their ambition. The owners treat everyone like a regular from the moment you walk in, and the food—from fresh pastries to gluten-free friendly options—pairs perfectly with the coffee without feeling like an afterthought. It's the rare Portland spot that works equally well for a solo work session, a long catch-up with friends, or a quick caffeine-and-pastry fix.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Tried the Turkish coffee and Mayan Mocha and they were both amazing. The honey cake and baklava made perfect pairings to the coffee. The vibe is great and so are the sweet people who run this place. Looking forward to the next time we drive through this area.
This little cafe tucked into the most unassuming building on upper SE Division street serves THE BEST cappuccino on Portland's east side. Every sip will transport you right to Florence, Italy. The staff is super friendly, helpful and personally trained by owner Dario himself.…
Marino Café is an absolute gem. The food and coffee were both outstanding—everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly done with care. The space has that effortless European café feel where you can actually slow down and enjoy yourself, rather than feeling rushed.
Marino Cafe was a little oasis for my sister and I in need of some lunch, a lil drink, and a place to work for a couple hours. Definitely would recommend the food, especially if you’re gluten free! The bread is great, portion is awesome, and there’s enough sauce to take care of…
