Exquisite Creatures Coffee — Restaurant in Portland

I drove out here from Vancouver so the first thing I want to note is that it’s in a very convenient area of town, very close to Grand/I-84, with plenty of 2 hour parking around. I hate driving out for specialty matcha just to not be able to park anywhere close, so that was a huge plus.

They were decorated for spooky season, playing some kind of postpunk, and not busy (10am on a Thursday), very chill vibes. The barista told me they were out of an ingredient for the caramel popcorn latte, but I’m grateful for that now. I chose a hot theater popcorn matcha latte, and despite not being a cinnamon roll person, couldn’t resist a strange muffin-cinnamon roll hybrid from the case.

The matcha was so good, I audibly said “oh my god” to myself 4-5 times before I got back to my car. I don’t know how they managed to nail the taste of salted and buttered movie theater popcorn on top of matcha, but they did. It might be my favorite matcha I’ve ever had. The cinnamon roll was good too! They didn’t skimp on the gooey stuff inside, it almost tasted like banana pudding to me. I will definitely...

Outstanding service and memorable experience define Exquisite Creatures Coffee. Everything is vegan!

The beverage selection satisfies any mood. Ranging from floral to spicy, hot or iced , there is both local quality and quality local items to be enjoyed. The seating is adequate for doing work on their WiFi network, socializing with coworkers during lunch, and even a cozy place to set up an interview.

If you haven’t made it out here yet, it’s worth making a special trip to treat your tastebuds. The surrounding downtown area is phenomenally decorated by local artists of professional quality in a walkable and accessible part of Portland.

Significant to add, the coffee is ethically sourced, roasted locally by the owners, and is emission free. With fair pricing and a sustainable business model, you’re an Exquisite Creature by considering this earnest review and giving it a try...

This was close by to where I was staying, I liked the name, and the Popcorn flavored lattes on the menu was intriguing. I first had the Buttery Salty Theater latte. Subtle but it still reminds you of movie theater popcorn in a good way! I also had the vegan breakfast sandwich. I’m not vegan and don’t go out of my way to eat vegan food, but I’m not opposed to it at all. Portland has a lot of vegan restaurants and none have disappointed me, especially this filling breakfast sandwich. Not pictured, I ordered the Salty Sweet Kettle Popcorn latte to go. Just as good as the Buttery Salty Theater one but a tad sweeter. Bryce was there manning the register and coffee duties. Very pleasant and helpful. Nice chatting with him for a bit. Small place. Not a lot of seating so it seems maybe most people order to go. Nonetheless, great...
