According to local directory data from the Multnomah Coffee Club, there are 56 coffee roasters located in and near Portland proper, and 71 roasters across Portland and its surrounding metro-area suburbs, spanning 11 towns.
I would like to try all of them, and mention them here.
I usually order a Cortado — it’s my favorite drink for comparing espresso. And when I’m buying beans, or when I have a choice for making the Cortado, Ethiopian beans tend to be my favorite.
In October 2026 I stopped by Push Pull and ordered a Colombian roast Cortado.

It was described as bright and floral, and I liked that I had a choice between it and a Guatemala, described as more of a dark chocolate.
The coffee did not disappoint.
I’ve been here many times, and I’ve purchased beans for home here. I find they consistently have a great selection, and their quality is impressive to me.

They only had their St. Johns roast available for it. It seemed very standard — pleasant to drink, but it didn’t stand out as special or above average.
To me, the location is modern and clean in appearance, with a decent amount of hangout space. It seems to me like they are playing it safe and trying to be similar to other larger chains. Overall, I thought it was very nice.
