Better Days Cafe
3551 SE Division St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Better Days Cafe on Division is a bright, plant-filled sanctuary with gorgeous natural light and thoughtful decor that's equally suited for deep focus or lingering with friends, though fair warning that the work seating can be hit-or-miss. Beyond their reliable traditional drinks, they're worth visiting for unexpected delights like matcha bagels and mochi donuts, plus creative customizations like their Chamomile Tea lattes that show the baristas are genuinely playful with their craft. The spacious, welcoming vibe and excellent public transit access make it feel like the kind of neighborhood gem that keeps Portland weird and wonderful in the best way.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Amazing ambiance, love the music, such a gorgeous gorgeous space with lots of space and light. The decor with the paper lights and plants is chef’s kiss. One of my new favorite work/study spaces. Drinks are delicious, my favorites are the coconut cream matcha and the brown sugar…
I would give them 4 stars for not having decaf but their mochi donuts were awesome and they made me a Chamomile Tea latte. My wife enjoyed the coffee. The space is super cool and it's nice to see something vibrant take that corner space off Division. Had a lot of people inside,…
