No Wave Coffee

Best nooner! 4 Shot Latté. Made my visit so worthwhile on this rainy Friday lunch break! Thanks, Chris!

Coming across this shop, the exterior was a bit of a turn off-​if I’m being honest. The minute I came in, I was pleasantly welcomed by the décor and gentleman working. Everything is modern and simple, looks as if there is local art adorning the walls. The shop gives off a very comfortable vibe, a little grunge feeling with a sharp cleanness to it. I ordered a white mocha, which I was also pleased with! A little sweet, with the right balance of taste that I had been looking for. I found the gentleman working to be endearing with a genuine, positive, outgoing attitude.
I was personally surprised this shop appears to be more of a well-​kept secret… With everything I’ve listed, it’s pretty ideal. Especially considering the location-​I realize this is a new joint, but nonetheless if I was closer to it, I would indefinitely frequent this shop. I could easily see spoken word or jazz nights, mini-​art shows here… Already planning on bringing my partner here, and I just left!

Happy to have a solid coffee shop in the neighborhood. The owner is super friendly and knows how to brew a good cup of coffee. Nice bagel selection too!

Clean and chill atmosphere. I got a European small chai tea and it was on the sweet side, which I like a lot. Service was friendly and fast. Theres art on the wall you can buy. There’s even a record player! You can bring your own records and play them, trade (I think that’s what he said), and enjoy some good coffee and company.

Best iced coffee in Portland? I think you will find it here. Smooth. Delicious. And strong enough to keep you going all morning.

Great local coffee shop. The owner is very nice and involved in the community. Looking forward to many more cups of coffee from here :)

The owner, Chris, is personable and involved in the local neighborhood. He brews a great coffee of choice! A great addition to the coffee desert that was once in Portsmouth.

Glad this place is in the neighborhood. Sadly i’ve found the iced drinks aren’t consistent and quite a bit more pricey than other local shops. For what you’d pay 4.00 at another shop you’ll pay about 5.50 here +tip. The guy who owns it is very friendly and passionate but because he is the only guy working there so if there’s more than one person in front of you — you’ll have to wait a bit. So, don’t go in here on a hurry unless you’re the only guy in there but overall it’s an okay place.

Clean, bright and welcoming spot for coffee and pastries! The service here was friendly and our coffee was served quickly, and it tasted great. Two 12 oz. fancy drinks and a muffin ran us $ 11. Not bad! I look forward to returning on a regular basis to see how this new shop grows.
Try their dirty chai — it’s not on the menu, but you can order a regular chai + a shot of espresso (add $ 0.50) for a delicious drink!

This shop has been long awaited in the Portsmouth neighborhood. Unpretentious, friendly service and customers and tasty coffee. I had the iced coffee and it was refreshing and just the right strength.
I can forgive the atmosphere because they just opened — but they desperately need some art on the walls. The one painting so far is rad!

Finally there is a coffee shop in this neighborhood and I can stop drinking coffee from the gas station. Hallelujah! Really cool place with no trace of the usual Portland coffee-​shop pretentiousness. They are serving Courier Coffee, which is one of my favorite roasters in the city. This place is serving my favorite iced coffee in town-​hands down. It’s just an uncomplicated, no fuss coffee shop where you don’t have to feel intimidated and the barista isn’t going to judge your order. The owner, Chris is usually there and is super awesome to talk to and a very nice guy. He’s got a record player set up too, which is a nice departure from the usual Pandora fare.
I’m so happy this coffee shop is open here in this neighborhood. Something we desperately needed. Go check them out.

Great coffee and ambience! The barista was fun and the music was great. Definitely going to be a go to place when I’m in the neighborhood!

Newly opened, clean, spacious coffee shop in a coffee shop desert in NoPo. Free wifi, tasty baked goods, your standard coffee and tea options, reasonable prices, friendly service. Mellow music from a record player, plenty of tables and chairs (plus one outdoor picnic bench) with a few electrical outlets available for charging. There are even two single-​stall bathrooms.
What would make this already nice place even better? Some art on the walls and perhaps an expanded menu (I do love me a breakfast bagel). Chris has only been in business a few days, so I’m sure art is in the works (I am hoping it will be produced by local artists and rotated), and maybe after the business has a firm customer base, we’ll see some more food options. Who knows?!
I’M JUST GLAD THERE’S FINALLY AN UPSTANDING COFFEE SHOP SO CLOSE TO MY HOUSE! WOO HOO!
