The Fresh Pot

This delightful spot puts out some delicious coffee and is located in a bustling downtown location along Washington and Broadway. While the customer service isn’t as consistent as I look for, the espresso is always on the money and is worth trying if you happen to be strolling by. B/B+

Best mocha I ever had~ The coffee maker are so friendly and the music is good!

Really great coffee. They offer almond and soy milk, which is great for someone like me who is allergic to regular milk. I wished they offered a few more options with regard to food, but their bagels are soft and fresh. The staff was lovely. Couldn't have asked for a nicer experience.

Great atmosphere, great art, and really great coffee.

I work downtown and this is one of my favorite places to go for a latte. The milk is creamy, rather than foamy, so the texture is smooth and rich rather than fluffy. Reasonably priced and close to the office - I love taking a break to come here.

One of the better shops in town due to its atmosphere. They always have good music and artwork on display, staff is extremely friendly and they care to get to know you if your in there more than once. Stumptown coffee is what they serve, and who doesn't like that?

The Fresh Pot is a decent local addition to the over saturated downtown coffee shop market. They offer a more intimate Portland east side kind of feel with small seating and high ceilings, old fixtures and quirky decor. I like it. They bring in locally made food and non coffee options and have a nice short selection of Townshend teas. While they don't make everything in house I think they've struck a nice balance of good coffee shop without focusing too much on doing everything themselves. Great location if you're working nearby or an Epicodus student and they are open later than many of the downtown shops. Plus they have a view directly to the Union Bank building which is by far one of my fav 70's brutalist structures downtown. Service was friendly but not overly so. I will have to give their east side and Mississippi locations a try as well! They seem bigger but with the same local flair.

You would think every coffee shop in downtown Portland has good coffee. That's not always the case. But this place does. Great local people and good snacks too. Very cool vibe.

Odered a Cappuccino. The guy making the coffee was very friendly and the Cappuccino was great and also very pretty.

Fresh Pot is great. The baristas are always nice, and the coffee they brew Stumptown is always fantastic. If you haven't tried their caramelized onion and cheddar scone, you're missing out!
