Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Hillsboro

"In what might be the most Portland origin story ever, Matt Higgins bootstrapped Coava out of his garage by repairing motorcycles. According to the company’s website, the name means “unroasted, green coffee,” as well as “a northwest coffee roaster notoriously fueled by good folks and Led Zeppelin.” The company has a relentless focus on sourcing, conducting “agronomy surveys” on each one of their handpicked farms to ensure that the farm delivers a consistent product year after year. All of their shops are absolutely stunning, but for the most impressive experience, check out their flagship on Southeast Grand."

"Downtown, check out Revolución Coffee House, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 175 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the cafe, which offers coffee and pastries, by heading over to 1432 S.W."

"Although Papa Haydn, an old school Portland institution, is famed for its extensive pastry case, the triple chocolate cake stands out from the rest due to its relative simplicity. Diners looking for an elevated version of a nostalgic, birthday-party-style chocolate cake should look no further. The restaurant has several other cakes worth sampling, and the old-school NW location has plenty of room for groups looking to skip straight to dessert."

"A Portland dining institution, Papa Haydn are full restaurants, but they are best known for their huge selection of desserts. Desserts are available for carryout and are often from the ooey-gooey chocolate and dairy-rich school of pastries, but hey there’s nothing wrong with that. They often look like something you’d expect to see on the British Baking Show."

"Papa Haydn has been around for decades and is a great spot for beautiful, decadent desserts by the slice. Think cakes, cookies, cheesecake, and tortes. Order the Mt. Adams Cake, made with hazelnut-coconut cake, praline, Viennese buttercream, wild huckleberry compote, and a huckleberry buttercream."

"Ruby Jewel has been a local staple since 2004, and with locations in Downtown, North and Southeast Portland, you’re never too far away from a scoop shop. Aside from its rotating cast of 15 hand-crafted flavors, what Ruby Jewel is really known for is its ice cream sandwiches, which you can customize in a shop or find in a local grocery store freezer when you have a craving.

"Located in the Historic Washington High School, Revolution Hall is a concert venue that also holds several dining and drinking spots with outdoor seating, where the prime spot is the top floor Roof Deck. Open during the sunny, summer months, the spacious and impressive rooftop comes with equally impressive 360-degree views over Portland. Serving cockatils, craft beers and a yummy grill menu in a casual atmosphere, the Roof Deck at Revolution Hall is a prime spot to mix sun and views with a good time."

"Atop a former high school—and now one of the city’s leading live music and film venues—Revolution Hall’s Roof Deck has gorgeous views of downtown from Buckman. We love the brats served with house-made sauerkraut. Martha’s: 1300 SE Stark St; 503-288-3895"

"We’re slinging cocktails and grilling brats on the roof starting at NOON tomorrow and Friday. Come early to nab a table!. Regular Roof Deck Hours: M-F 3-late S-S 12-late"

"A quintessential Parisian style cafe/bakery/patisserie, or at least an American fantasy version of one. We’ll let you be the judge of St. Honoré’s quality and authenticity, but feel free to read our hotly debated review from 2007. However, on my last few visits, I thought the food has improved across the board."

"This charming French cafe with sidewalk seating offers traditional light bites in addition to sweet treats and pastries. The service is great, and there are too many options to choose from. So for a good cup of coffee in the morning and people watching, and stay for a second chocolate croissant."

"Finding fine French bakery goods beyond the borders of France would seem unlikely in this NW corner of the United States. St. Honoré has transformed a little shop in NW Portland into a cultural escapade you'd normally have to get on a plane to..."

"We're a not-so-small couple, and we ended up sharing one mancake with strawberries and the corned... (503) 222-1132Order online. Superb285 Reviews4.7"

"This hole-in-the-wall coffee shop nestled along the waterfront in Southwest Portland is a unique combination of Portland coffee culture that keeps its heart in Mexico. The coffeeshop prides itself on being plant-based, vegan, local, organic, and low waste. Address: 1816 SW River Drive, PortlandPhone: 925-642-7782"

"Yeah, Portland is the kind of place you can find a coffee shop that serves beans sourced exclusively from Mexico. Business owners Angel and Lucy make a killer “True Mexican,” a signature mocha with a slightly spicy kick. People also rave about the chai and the agua fresca."

"While you're wandering around town you will undoubtedly run across the Portland Armory (pcs.org), home of Portland Center Stage and the Gerding Theater. Even if you aren't seeing a show, this intimidating brick fortress, in the middle of the Pearl District, is worth popping into for a latte and a looksie. For a live show, head a few blocks south-west to the Artists Repertory Theatre in the Goose Hollow neighbourhood (no geese allowed, please and thank you)."

"1515 SW Morrison Street Portland OR 97205 503-241-1278www.artistsrep.org. Founded in 1982 Artists Repertory Theatre is the longest-running professional theatre company in Portland. Artists Rep’s mission is to engage diverse audiences in fresh thought-provoking and intimate theatre."

"222 SW Clay Street Portland OR 97201 503-248-4335www.pcpa.com. The spacious Keller Auditorium formerly known as the Portland Municipal Auditorium the Portland Public Auditorium and the Portland Civic Auditorium was built in 1917 and is part of the Portland Center for the Performing Arts.

"1201 NW 17th Avenue Portland OR 97209 503-229-0627www.bodyvox.com. Dance troupe BodyVox takes a wildly imaginative and often hilarious approach to physicality. The company’s engaging visceral work has been featured at the Academy Awards and in music videos for U2 and Sting."

"427 SW Stark One comes to the Chez Dodo food cart for Shyamosas ($5-6). I’ve gobbled down a big mound of their spicy, oily Mine Frire yakisoba noodles ($7-12) many times too. Whatever you order from Chez Dodo is guaranteed to fill you up, but those Shyamosas—fried pastries the size of two fists, full of spiced potatoes, vegetables, and meat—are the best thing on the menu."

"Owner Shyam Dausoa opened Chez Dodo last year as an extension of his pre-packaged Mauritian food business. From his breezy cart, Dausoa pan-fries noodles with turmeric, stirs spicy lamb curry and tops elephantine samosas with mint-cilantro chutney and sweet chili sauce for a dish that he promises will "fill a vegan customer's life with excitement and happiness."

"Jong Can, a Chinese spot in downtown, is another much-loved go-to with 4.5 stars out of 53 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1923 SW Sixth Ave. to see for yourself."

"This nightclub and legendary strip club is divided into two decidedly different spaces. In the main room, male strippers dance in a club with two separate bars and a dance floor. And for chatty types, a throughway leads you to a smaller lounge with plenty of bar seating, as well as a giant screen to watch everything you’re missing onstage next door."
