Coquelico

We shared a delicious Chopped Salad today at Coquelico. The ingredients are extremely fresh, the salad is beautiful and the price is reasonable...for all of it! It's exactly the quality you expect from Provoidore. We also had a coffee which is divine. They use Spella coffee which is so delicious - rich, robust and very flavorful. It's one of our favorite coffees here in Portland. The atmosphere was bustling at 2p on a Saturday and not as loud as it has been during previous crowded visits. It's such a perfect addition to the new and improved Portland Art Museum. Our table service worked well and the staff was friendly and conscientious. A treat when visiting the museum!

Food is good. But the coffee was undrinkable. After waiting 20+ minutes for our to-go espressos (not lattes, just espressos) we threw them away. Just horrible. Burnt, bitter, bad. I don't know if their machine isn't callibrated or if their baristas have no idea how to actually pull good shots, but this should be addressed. Portland is a coffee roaster mecca. I expected more from a new cafe at our city's leading contemporary art museum.

There was a fairly long line and we were a little worried we wouldn’t get a table! It seemed understaffed as well, the woman taking our order at the counter left in the middle of it to go help a colleague and was gone for about 5 minutes. However the food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and we enjoyed ourselves. I will definitely come back again for lunch or for coffee and pastries.

It is very cozy, next to the gift shop so your both you and your eyes can eat. They have an amazing tea cake highly recommend and their latte is superb. Super friendly staff, very accommodating!

Loved the pizza bianca sandwich!! Food by Providore in the new cafe of portland art museum! Everything was FAB
