Cathedral Coffee has been on my list of coffee shops to visit for a long time, especially since it is big within the cycling community here in Portland and I always appreciate a coffee shop that is friendly towards probably the most coffee loving group lol. The interior, service, and design of this place is great. The only things that will take Cathedral Coffee down a star for me is I wasn't a fan of their classic coffee used for their espresso, I found it far too bitter and abrasive. I will go back to try the other coffee flavors they had available and if I find one better I will definitely update my review, but their espresso was definitely near the bottom of my list of the many places I've been to in Portland. Secondly, I am not a fan of how much space they allocate to car parking, it makes it unappealing to see cars parked outside when that space could be used for outside seating instead. North Portland is very car dependent so maybe this will change in the future as infrastructure improvements are made, so hopefully Cathedral Coffee can make improvements to give a view of the neighborhood instead of parked vehicles. This is honestly the only local coffee shop I can think of in Portland that allocates this amount of space to parking on their own lot instead of utilizing it for people.

Me and my husband visited this place during our weekend gateway to Portland. We went to grab a quick coffee as this place was right next to where we were staying. As soon as we entered, I was sold by the nice cozy ambiance and very friendly staff and we decided to grab our breakfast there and spend some time glancing thru the nice collection of books available on the shelf. My husband got baked sausage sandwich (something like that, don't remember the name correctly) and chai latte (he told both were awesome). I was not feeling much hungry as I had some protein bar before so got cappuccino (awesome) and they customized the menu as I wanted two eggs sunny side up. It was really nice time, I would definitely go back when/if I visit Portland again and recommend this place to everyone.

this coffeeshop differs from others in that everything inside and outside is made under the old style, tables, chairs, interior and so on. interesting, but in my opinion too much, because the view is as if no one has done repairs here for many, many years. I saw a different building made in the old fashioned way and everything was different there. the coffee here is soft without a bitter taste (for an amateur), the employees are very pleasant, polite and bistro work, I'm happy thank you. it's like a home environment. you can work and hold a business meeting and sit with a friend, there is enough space. I think for those who are close lives a favorite place, because there are always people here. good luck guys!!!

I stopped by here. I ordered an Americano.worse darn coffee i ever had. It was light roast drip. Not espresso (& espresso roast). And the kid solicits tips from every customer but does not make good coffee. Dark roast is smokey and flavourful. This foul brew was bitter Bitter !... It was clear i wanted Americano and he repeated my order to me. But wrong coffee was used. Americano coffee = shot of espresso & hot water.... Places like this make appreciate starbucks (which i loathe). To top it all off ordered a medium got a small..... When you offer espresso and americano you better use espresso roast ! So glad I left the self entitled half ash product Pacific NW

One of my favorite coffee shops in Portland! Great coffee, delicious pastries, both sweet stuff like apple fritter and muffins, and a good selection of savory foldovers. What I love the most, is the beautiful patio just outside the coffee shop with big, lovely wooden benches and tables, a perfect place for anyone who passes by to make a coffee stop. While indoor seatings are limited at the moment, there are a few at the back, well lit with a huge opening to fresh air and the space outside. Update (Feb 2021): I have visited here a few times during my 7-month stay in Portland and always had a good experience. The staff is always amicable with attentive service.

I really love the laid-back vibe of this place! The staff are always friendly and helpful. Whether you're dining in or getting it to go, the coffee is excellent! There is a nice selection of sweet and savory food items as well. Chill music playing in the background creates a nice atmosphere for a friendly chat or doing some work on your laptop. If you're looking for some reading material, you'll likely find something on one of the bookshelves in the reading nook. There is usually plenty of seating, and a number of wall outlets available to charge your phone and electronic devices. If you're in the area, definitely stop in!
