Stark Street Station — Restaurant in Portland

My fiance and I have been coming here several times a week, all year long for our morning coffees. The young barista who is usually behind the counter provides the best service, always greeting us warmly.

He wasn't there today. Instead, the older person working the station today was presumed to be the owner or manager. What isn't questionable was his rude and passive-aggressive demeanor. There was a couple at the counter, deciding amongst themselves what to choose. My fiance stepped up to the counter to request her usual, unaware there was a customer ahead. There was no indication of a line.

Instead of a discrete, respectful comment to alert her these people were ahead, he rudely blurted, "Are you cutting here?"

She apologized, stating she wasn't aware they were waiting to be serviced. Instead of accepting that, this asshat turned to the couple ahead and rudely said, "We don't do cuts here."

This condescending and unprofessional lack of customer respect and service prompts this one star rating, with a vow to never visit or recommend this poor excuse...

Perfect little spot to meet my cousin. On the corner of SE 61st and Stark.

I ordered a 16 oz iced Spring Fling-lavender, Rose, vanilla bean mocha, yummmm I wasn't sure what to expect with the rose - but it was a perfect flavor of each and they blended so well together.

My cousin and I ordered an apple cream cheese pastry to share and because they were just made the crust was so flaky, I knew before I left I was going to have to buy a couple More of the different flavors to take with me.

They had a couple of flavors that I did not catch the name of, but they did have strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, apple, blueberry. Give it a try!!!

Before I left I bought a raspberry and blackberry which Nick who was super sweet told us he gets the blackberries from his yard.

I also received a coffee cake muffin because it was a day old and before they close the next day they like to give them away. It was super moist and the coffee cake topping was flavored very well.

They have a covered outdoor seating area, indoor seating, a restroom for customers.

I'm glad...

I'm new to the neighborhood and very happy to have this charming shop so close by! (Although it's also worth a detour if you're within driving distance too!!)

At first glance, before the front door, you'll notice a nice patio adorned with flower boxes and small tables with chairs. Very spacious! Stepping through the front door, the glass displays of fresh goodies grabbed my attention, especially the quiches, pies, and muffins! Behind you is the indoor seating area with room for about two dozen+ customers.

The turkey club was perfect! (See pic.) Big enough to share with a friend. It comes with chips too.

I grabbed two tripleberry muffins, a chocolate chip M&M cookie and a peanut butter cookie to-go. They all look great (see pic) but only had a muffin so far and it was everything...
