"Love a new local spot. Coffee is so good. Drip, lattes- they make a specialty with banana milk. It’s dope."

"Above Grnd Coffee has quickly become one of my absolute favorite coffee spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay, relax, and enjoy every minute of your visit. The space is bright, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect environment for a morning coffee run or a quiet place to get some work done. The coffee here is truly exceptional. You can tell right away that they take their craft seriously. Every drink is prepared with precision and care, and the flavors are always rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Their espresso is bold and aromatic, their lattes are incredibly silky, and the specialty drinks are creative without being overly sweet. I love that they use high-quality beans and clearly know how to pull the perfect shot every time. Their pastries and small bites are also fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to any drink. Whether you grab a croissant, a muffin, or one of their seasonal treats, you really can’t go wrong. The staff deserves a special shout-out as well. Everyone who works here is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to greet customers, offer recommendations, and make every visit feel personal. It’s refreshing to see a team that consistently delivers such great service. Above Grnd Coffee isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a place that makes your day better. With top-tier coffee, amazing service, and a great atmosphere, this café stands out from so many others. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality coffee experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!"

"Immaculate. Lots of coffee shops in Portland are loud and harsh, or junky in the service of a hipster aesthetic. Not here. Above Grnd is clean, quiet, well decorated, and relaxing. It’s like stepping into an oasis from the busy inner SE atmosphere around it. Great place to meet, read, or get some work done. 10/10"

"I love this spot! The ability to work, network, eat and drink all while getting work done is priceless!!! Ive received 3 opportunities just being present and introducing myself. I utilize this space as my office. I am a small business entrepreneur and need to get away from my home office, this is my option. The music, the vibe, them ambiance is top-tier!"

"This coffee shop is more than a coffee shop. The atmosphere was cool and had the Portland vibe. To see people of color owning and operating it was a delight to see as a person of color. The coffee was tasty and the seating was comfy. I’ll definitely be coming back."
