COTTA
1922 SW Elm St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a charming residential garage in Portland's quiet hills, COTTA punches way above its intimate size with expertly pulled espresso drinks and creative matcha offerings that keep customers coming back. The low-key, unhurried vibe paired with impeccable service and delicious pastries makes it feel like discovering a secret spot where the baristas actually care about each cup they pour. Whether you're stopping by for a quick vanilla bean latte or settling in at one of the few sidewalk tables with a cappuccino, this tiny gem proves that the best coffee experiences often hide in the most unexpected places.”

Came here on a Sunday. Coffee business is operated out of a garage in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. It wasn’t busy, service was quick. Got the Vanilla Bean latte which was good.
A garage coffee shop with very low-key vibe, nice beans and nice cappuccino. A bit wait in line sometimes.
Super cute spot, operating out of a garage in a quaint residential neighborhood. Drinks were delicious, atmosphere was pleasant, and service was wonderful! Now I'll just need to return on a warmer day to try the soft serve, too! This is a proper hidden gem!
Super cute place to get coffee or matcha! It’s a bit of a hike if you’re walking but so worth it. I got an iced matcha with almond milk slightly sweet. They also had a matcha affogato on the menu that I’ll have to try next time! Keep in mind there’s like one small table with 2 chairs. I loved that they had quite a few milk options! Next time I may try soy. Overall loved the atmosphere and service
Cute little coffee shop in the hills. Two tables for outside seating near sidewalk. The cappuccino was lovely on a day like this. The donut was exquisite. They serve Heart Roasters, which we know are good.
