Crema's Take

Ovation is a Portland gem flooded with natural light through its all-glass exterior, creating an inviting space that feels both energizing and conducive to lingering over work or conversation. They've carved out a distinctive identity with creative signatures like their beloved pistachio latte and Moroccan-influenced drinks and pastries that set them apart from typical Portland cafes. The team here genuinely makes people feel welcome from the moment they walk in, pairing consistently excellent drinks served at the perfect temperature with a full breakfast menu that keeps guests coming back.

absolutely delicious, and very different from your average Portland cafe. they've got all glass exterior walls which brings in the light from outside, but it's super well lit inside without being overwhelming. and the baristas were both excellent, and quick too! I ordered a pistachio milk (!?) mocha, and the barista who made it asked if i wanted the morrocan spice on it... ya'll. get the morrocan spice on it. it was an absolutely divine experience; i've never had pistachio milk before, so the whole thing was an experience on first sip. i also got a veggie biscuit (for $5!! in downtown?!) which was also incredible, and came out piping hot which is exactly what i needed on this cold morning. i will definitely be back here. it's dangerous that I will be in the area twice a week!

I watched the store manager talk down to a patron because they were buying a homeless man a sandwich. To be clear, this man did not solicit inside of the shop. He was brought in with the patron and then made to stand outside to wait. Disgusting behavior from a place that has built their company on the back of the Portland community. They should feel honored that their customers are generous and remind themselves it’s easy to go to another coffee shop.

Never tried Moroccan coffee before, I got a cold and a hot, I liked it! The service here was excellent, extremely friendly people that made me feel welcome the second I opened the door. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was a delicious and the prices were great. What more could you ask for?

A lovely little coffee / tea shop that has a little Moroccan influence. We got the Moroccan mint tea, pistachio latte, a scone and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious. I love the little ornate teapot that the tea came in. The scone was just the right amount of softness inside and crispiness outside. You get a nice view of fields park if you're sitting outside. Parking is relatively easy too.
