Woodlawn Coffee & Pastry

I’m visiting Portland from the East coast, and this cute little cafe came recommended by my Airbnb hostess. From the moment I entered though the last bite of my vegan scramble it was obvious why. I love the homey neighborhood coffee shop vibe, and the food and coffee were amazing. I’m happy that I was able to experience a piece of Portland like locals do. I only wish I could pack this coffee shop up and take it home with me!

I stopped by this cafe for the first time this week and it was a very cozy spot to get some espresso and read a book. I really enjoyed the decor and layout of the cafe, alongside the food options that they had. It also looked like they had seasonal special drinks which is always fun. Definitely recommend a stop by for all the Woodlawn residents!

I was hoping to enjoy this place a bit more than I did. Granted, the staff were very pleasant and the coffee and baked goods we grabbed were all good. The main issue for me was the atmosphere: the music was about %20 too loud, just enough to not let me concentrate on what I was trying to get done. Probably because the music was a bit too loud, that made people talk louder, which got a bit intrusive at times. So, while I overall liked the place, if you're bringing your laptop and plan on staying for an hour or so getting worked done... beware. You may not find it easy to concentrate. If you're just going with someone for a conversation, then you'll enjoy it! But I still want them to turn that music down a bit :)

Phenomenal food and service! Awesome bakery items and breakfast entrees. This is a place you want to go to often. Even to go, the plate was beautiful.

Loved this coffee shop, I had the breakfast plate and the pickled veggies were the best! Nice atmosphere early in the morning, it was very nice.

I like coffee served here. Nice place overall with good professional staff. Didn’t try any food or pastries here so no score for that. Lack of parking place but that’s kinda “normal “ for Portland ☺️

I ordered the "biscuits" and gravy and a peppermint mocha to go. What I received was ***one**** biscuit floating in gravy and a peppermint mocha that didn't taste like peppermint............I was under the impression that biscuit= 1 Biscuits = 2 or more It might be a good idea to ask the customer if they would like to pay for another biscuit or if one would be enough!!! In the end it cost me $20.00 and seems very expensive for what was ordered. The taste was ok but not worthy of the price for what was received, and my review would most likely be different had there been ***" biscuits**** or if my peppermint mocha tasted like peppermint. Maybe throw in a link of sausage for the price or a slice of bacon then I could see $14.75. This place would be a good alternative to meeting an old friend vs meeting at a bar but not a place you would go to to have a breakfast with good portions.

I got the biscuit sando and it was probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. It had an absolutely perfect biscuit. Every staff interaction was lovely, they all seem to be very friendly people. It was easy to hear the person I was with, while talking softly. And lots of people seemed to be reading and working/studying. Overall a great experience!
