Downtown Portland Coffee & Donut Tour

The journey, in full

Taste two single-origin coffees brewed by pour-over, side by side. See why Portland drives the “Third Wave” coffee movement and learn to taste coffee like wine: notes, body, finish, the whole thing. Portland has over 75 locally owned and operated donut shops (that’s a lot, btw), and locals are very divisive about their favorite. We’ll sample a selection of the best from our favorite shop, which (depending on the rotating menu) may include buttermilk bars, lavender glaze, and mochi. From “Portland’s Living Room” and its echo chamber to Powell’s Books to our “Benson Bubblers,” Downtown is brimming with quirky history and surprises that perfectly capture our infamous “Keep Portland Weird” slogan. The nitro cold brew trend started here, and the perfect place to try this creamy and smooth brew poured straight from the tap is at Portland’s most celebrated roaster. At the coziest, most quintessentially Portland hole-in-the-wall café (that also roasts their own beans), indulge in a traditional macchiato paired perfectly with a homemade French pastry. End your morning with a specialty latte alongside fresh beignets and pastries, while discovering how this family-run Downtown staple has kept Portlanders coming back for almost 20 years.
