every morning i get coffee. i walk up to the counter, black coffee appears, money changes hands, no words are spoken. in this town is hard to get coffee with out it feeling like being at job interview. plus there are sh1t loads of beautifully sculpted bike messengers all day long. do they ever work?

I go to coffee plant (almost) every morning. The coffee is really great and vegan cinnamon rolls!? Get outta here!

Having read the reviews about the grumpy barista, I just HAD to visit and see for myself. The latte was excellent. The food was a surprisingly delicious! The barista was running the machine and someone else was tending the register. I found them to be polite and even greeted me with a smile! I don't expect banter but I do expect them to be polite and that includes noticing when customers walk in the door. I am returning to Portland next week and will seek them out again. I highly recommend visiting this outstanding venue and avoid the chains! If on my next visit the barista is rude- then I will find another independent coffee house to visit.

I love the coffee, the service and the atmosphere of this small and charming coffee shop!

But the BEST thing?? The gluten free coffee cakes and cookies. There is no other place like this downtown. Plus, I know they keep the gluten free baking process super legit because one of the bakers has a daughter with Celiac's - so I know they mean business!

Thanks guys! Now I can get a real snack with my morning coffee just like all of my co-workers!

This is a friendly heads up for anyone who may become a victim of Coffee Plant. Avoid Coffee Plant like the plague they have the worst coffee in the world. The service is more then less to be desired also, the staff has perfected the art of being complete ashpoles! The food is horrible and most of all they are extremely over priced. There #1 product is coffee and this is where they fail miserably!
