Monte Rossa Cafe — Restaurant in Portland

Hands down my favorite cappuccino of all time! Monte Rossa is a super casual, intimate little gem in old town Chinatown. Everything produced from the coffee drinks, to all the prepared food is of the utmost quality and made with so much love and care. This cafe has been around for 16 years!!! Since COVID, it's currently been run entirely by one man, the incredible cafe owner Rob. It's obvious Rob puts his full heart into making sure he takes care of his people. If you're in the area, stop by, show some love & your support! Your taste buds for sure won't be disappointed.

Old town PDX may have taken a hit during the pandemic but there are people in this community who still push onward everyday and inspire without even realizing their positive impact. Rob and Monte Rossa absolutely being that sunshine in PDX.

We love you...

I'm excited to share that I both witnessed and received the most friendly and exceptional service here. Our drinks were lovely, too!

I work nearby and came in to grab a quick coffee with a coworker. There were some regulars in ahead of us. I was impressed by the gentleman behind the counter knowing folks' names and orders before they told him them. Everyone in the coffee shop was chatty and happy to be there, obviously aware of and thankful for the great service!! The vibes were great. The mocha was delicious (I'm hard to please, too, so that's saying something). I love their pink straws. I loved that they had hot breakfast options. I just loved my whole visit!!!

Thanks for running such a cool spot and for being so...

Rob is the sweetest and the food and drinks are great! Love this place.💖 Definetely recommend!

Update: It's been two years since my original review and four years I've lived in the area. I actually left town last year for a while and will be leaving permanently again in a week. Both when I was gone and as I am packing up now to leave I'm realizing that this little Cafe and Rob are at the top of my list for things I will miss in Portland. If you want to support a small business and a good person who cares about the quality of everything and everyone he serves please spend...
