We’ve talked about Portland’s unbeatable food and beer culture before, but we haven’t discussed our city’s coffee. Oregonians have a true passion for coffee and here in Portland you can sample flavors from all over the world. With many exclusive roasters and small cafés, we stay caffeinated with some unique blends and concoctions.
This tradition recently led to an excellent representation in the US Coffee Championships, where Portland took the 1st prize in the barista championship (Morgan Eckroth) and landed 5th place in the coffee roaster championship (Andrew Coe). Morgan is already a local celebrity taking our coffee culture to the rest of the world in videos where she talks about her life as a barista to her 7 million followers. You’ll find these championship winners at some of the coffee shops listed below, but most importantly, you’ll find amazing places that will have you ditching the big chains and supporting our local shops.
