I ended up visiting this spot twice in one day (I know, kind of hilarious, but I just didn’t feel like making my own coffee). I grabbed coffee and pastries each time, and here’s my take:
Service is excellent and the staff is super polite. Atmosphere: The café is surprisingly spacious for a business district, giving you plenty of room to spread out. Coffee Options: They offer unsweetened almond milk—huge plus for me —and the latte is really tasty. I just wish it was served a bit hotter, especially in winter. (Not enough to knock off a star, though!) Pastries: The almond croissant is top-notch. Prices: Pretty reasonable for Portland, with no extra markup compared to similar places.
Verdict: It’s cozy and inviting, making you want to linger and definitely come back. I’d be more than happy to become a regular here....

I decided to come here as I was excited that a review said it was reasonably priced... I'm not sure what reasonably priced means to that person, but all the 12oz coffee drinks are about $7.
I am bummed about this because the place is great otherwise. Service is friendly (which seems like a huge improvement from all the bad reviews posted a few months ago). Coffee is pretty good and there are all sorts of interesting drinks, like one latte has root beer and vanilla, and another has rose petals. Everything is very clean, but somehow doesn't have that uncomfortable, cold, sterile feel that a lot of coffee shops do.
Since this is a pretty new business, I hope that they are able to revisit their prices in the future because I definitely would like to come back...

I like that the experience here is pleasant but not forced. In an era of over-the-top bubblegum inauthenticity in customer service, I appreciate that I can count on a simple, genuine interaction here, where it feels like I am actually ordering from people who recognize me at a neighborhood shop. The atmosphere is very chill and a great place to get some work done if that's your vibe. Nice selection of drinks and some specialty offerings that are outside the typical box. Fun to peek into the roastery next door where they roast their stuff if you're into nerding out like that (I am). Their baristas deserve a lot of credit for...
