Floyd’s Old Town Coffee and Tea in Portland
Description
Privilege
Back in Portland and found the owner super knowledgeable and caring about sourcing. I tried the Cappuccino with oat mild and it was lovely.Did you know farmers transfer bees to pollinate almond trees and then bring them back? That is why she does not carry almond milk. Thank you for the educational moment as it changes my purchasing power at the grocery store!
MoreExcellent coffee and owner is super friendly!
Refused to make my latte extra hot.Context:Im sitting in the car with two kids and my partner tries to order my coffee extra hot, which is pretty standard. Rather than asking for more "context" and trying to imply that her attitude was less than exemplary, maybe reflect upon how you could have handled the situation better.Yes we all have bigger lives, but that isnt a pass to reject a basic "can I have my latte extra hot" request.
MoreLovely staff. Really good coffee.
Thank you for a wonderful experience and delicious latte!
Steve and Nicole are very rude unprofessional people. I would recommend you find coffee , food and service from local professional friendly kind people who deserve the business. Tough times don’t warrant both your bad attitudes and rudeness. I hope you both mature for yourselves and your business.
MoreSadly the current state is very different than reflected in the reviews.we looked for a place to get breakfast and coffee, and discovered they had nothing to eat except the breakfast burrito. Apparently due to not having enough customers, they dont stock up on anything, nout even pastries.Giving them the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars, as we just left. If you only want coffee, maybe they are fine.These are tough times in this very run down neighborhood, but putting the review here so others dont make the same mistake.I hope this is temporary and they will be able to get back to past glory...
MoreGood coffee made to order and always-fresh local artwork proudly displayed.
Excellent customer service in a mellow environment. The house brew was satisfying and affordable.A respite and an oasis in old Town.
MoreI found the coffee here to be average and mediocre. Portland has so many stellar coffee joints that this place cannot compete.
MoreVery comfortable and a warm atmosphere. The coffee was excellent and the owner was so kind to us.
MoreGreat food, wife and I loved the Better breakfast sandwich, cappuccino and Chai were good. If you are staying near old Town, I would suggest this place. Also the Stag is not far from and can be seen overhead.
MoreAmazing breakfast experience! We had a great time chatting with the owner and checking out the art. The house roasted coffee (drip coffee and decaf americanoand breakfast burrito were so good.
MoreI order all my coffee from Nichole. She always suggests something new I will love and then mails the coffee to my home. Everyday I enjoy their coffee at home.
MoreI’ve lived here for 30 years, & Floyds is ABSOLUTELY the most soulful Coffee House in Downtown Portland…& a 1-of-a-kind breakfast burrito…check it out!
MoreWent here because my wife wanted tea, it was ok tea. The sandwiches on the other hand were horrible, one was over cooked and the other undercooked.Bad experience, don’t go here for breakfast!
MoreI gave 5 stars because this place is truly a neighborhood gem! Plus the manager (I’m assuming, they had wonderful customer interaction skillswas wonderful! Kind and sociable with customers, dealt with a rule breaker in a firm but respectful way. The environment is like if Central Perk (of Friends fame!met a 1940s New York City diner, with a twist of unique Portland charm. There’s a small performance stage with sofas, plenty of seating for single diners up to 10ish people. Staff was good, I really enjoyed their breakfast burrito too- soy chorizo, cheese, egg and pico! Food and drinks are very reasonably priced, and the clientele is a mix of business people and neighborhood residents. Such a pleasant place :)
MoreExcellent coffee and excellent service. I really like Floyds. Lots of interesting decorations and furniture. Staff is very chill and friendly. The backroom is a perfect spot to meet with a small group and they have a really nice off the building patio area to hang out. Highly recommended.
MoreFloyd’s is a great coffee spot. At one time I lived off there breakfast burrito! It’s a great deal for 4.50 compared to other burritos at the same cost. It’s the livingroom of old town Portland!
MoreStaff are always great here, and their music playlists are fantastic. Great spot to catch an early morning latte (and some grub, too - a bit expensive, but really tasty and they make you feel like you got your moneys worthand catch up on some work in a booth in peace. Great patio, too!
MoreFloyds is great! I work nearby and initially checked this place out because of the convenient location. I was impressed by the quality of the beverage, but what really won me over is the great customer service. The baristas here run a tight and comprehensive ship. They deal with more than the average barista and do so with smiles on their faces. Kwan is always a friendly face and brings a sense of calm in the storm. I love coming here because he is so welcoming. Keep doing your thing!
MoreI love this place. The vibe is always so chill in the morning and I appreciate that beyond belief. There are other places closer to my work, but I come here because I love the morning barista so much!!! He has really helped me feel welcome as a transplant from the South.
MoreDelightful and zen haven in the middle of Old Town. Baristas are friendly in a peaceful, quiet way - which I truly enjoy. Ask the morning weekday barista about his day and youll be engaged in a joyful intelligent chat! Breakfast burrito w/ vegetarian chorizo and also the kick start breakfast sandwiches are so delicious. Thanks for all you do for the community, Floyds!
MoreOrdered black coffee, latte and two pastries to go. Coffee and pastries came quickly. Waited and waited and waited for latte and when asked I was told it was a busy morning. Waited some more and told the same thing. Yet three people who ordered after me received their drinks. I didn’t have any more time to wait as I’m headed to Bend so I left without the latte. My wife’s coffee was very nice. My latte? Hopefully someone enjoyed it. Bull**it excuse by barista!
MoreThis is the most unfriendly coffee shop Ive been to. I have been here 4 times because it is close to the location of my early morning appointments. Each time it was empty when I entered, which I thought was odd since Starbucks on the next corner was so crowded I couldnt get in, and the coffee shop two blocks away was relatively busy. The first three times I was there I did not feel especially welcome, in fact I got the impression I was interrupting whatever it was the young man was doing before I walked in, but what the hell, I wasnt there to socialize with the staff, I was just there to have a morning drink and write while waiting for my appointment. However, the fourth time I was there, the young man repeated my order (iced matcha tea and a pastry), and in a minute handed me hot matcha. When I reminded him I had asked for it iced, instead of just saying "oh sorry, I misunderstood you," he said "You didnt make that clear." I dont know how much clearer I could have been.I walked out. Without my order. Wont be back.
MoreIm a homegrown Portlander, one of the last of her kind. This place is legit. The building use to be a club back in the day - many good times were had.Im glad its a coffee shop now that can meet my dietary restrictions, ah how sweet lifes little changes can be.They have a fantastic assortment of snacks for all diet types. Im gluten-free, vegan, with a corn allergy and they were able to delight my fancy. Thats impressive!The new management is cool too. Im glad theyre putting in the elbow grease to make some improvements. This will seriously be one of my favorite haunts.
MoreLets just say this has been one of the best Saturdays Ive had downtown in a LONG while. The CBD add-on option is a must! I recommend 10mg for rec users, as it was an extremely meditative, full body experience. The caffeine & CBDs work in a weird synergy that is calming and stimulating at the same time. I will be making this a weekend treat from now on!
MoreI had a soy latte, that was great, I like the look with the brick and wood
Nice spot. Outside seating. Fair prices on simple things that are great. Just needs more employees and probably triple pay for them for all the great work they do. That’s all that I saw was lacking, as I had to wait awhile and the employee (1was way too busy being great, in an unhealthy way, creating congestion by the door and exhaustion all around . Not a good business practice. Still a wonderful place that I’m sure will continue to do well.
MoreGreat quite place for coffee, tea and more. Friendly service and beautiful outside area!
MoreFloyds is a very nice and cozy place to relax, have delicious coffee, sit in multiple rooms, each one different from the next, listen to good music, work or play on your lap top, or hang out on the large patio with umbrella tables that seat at least 4 each. Quite spacious inside and out, although Ive never seen it over crowded there, meaning its always comfortable. They have some tasty food breakfast food and or pastries as well. Nice atmosphere. Give it a try!
MoreGreat caramel latte! The barista is super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is soothing and warm, helpful for combating the Portland chill outside. Their patio is gorgeous as well. Prices are a bit high but the experience is worth it.
MoreLong standing favorite at their east side location. This spot holds up to its siblings awesome reputation.This one is a lot bigger with many more spaces to sit, relax or work. The location is prime and tucked quietly into the middle of the block with a patio in the summer months.They have great grounds, decent tea, and solid snacks. The food menu looks delicious and I am excited to try it more.The baristas are all super friendly and know the regulars well. A lot of them have worked here for years. They are efficient yet can chat and do their job. Its nice when having a conversation doesnt mean holding up the entire line. The line space here is small but it moves fast.A great work from home spot every now and again. There is power around some tables when you need it and the wifi is generally dependable.This place is nothing snooty or fancy, its good people, good coffee and a great space. Come enjoy the tunes or just grab something on your way through.
MoreVery nice atmosphere and extremely unique to the many other coffee shops downtown that tend to all be the same. Beautiful seating area outside where you can smoke or vape while drinking your coffee all year around. There caramel lattes are particularly yummy 😋. I love this place and the employees as well. 5 stars for sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
MoreThis place is pretty cool. Their coffee is great and they have pastries. They also offer Gem Gluten Free pastries.
MoreFloyds Coffee is the calm in the eye of the storm that is Old Town. The coffee is great, the staff is spot on, and the environment is perfect, whether you need a cup on the run, or you need a place to chill and do homework, or hunker down with business associates to discuss the topics of the day. The courtyard is great for a breath of fresh air, or a smoke if you got one. Best coffee shop in Portland.
MoreThe staff was very efficient, the taste was excellent (ordered the mocha), very good atmosphere (however there was a LOT of transients camped all around it, they may want to hire low level security).Beautiful service, kudos to Floyds, I may have a new favorite coffee shop.
MoreFreaking good coffee. The coffee guy was tops. True-Portland ambience.
Great coffee! Yummy food. Nice place to come get work done and have a coffee. The music can sometimes be a little loud so if youre not into that, you might not like it.
MoreFloyds is a very comfy, quiet place with inside and enclosed outside seating. Floyds has delicious drinks and food served by friendly employees.
MoreAnother great coffee shop! This place is my second favorite in the portland area. Great coffee, cool vibe inside with nice seating and art, the patio is a closed off area in an alley with a beautiful little water feature.
MoreEh, its ok. The space is great, coffee is ok - nothing special. Under staffed and not all that customer service-oriented.
MoreOne of my favorite pretentious coffee houses in Portland. Staff makes delicious coffee drinks that are slightly spend but worth it. They also have a decent selection of baked goods that are vegan/gluten free/dairy free.
MoreI like this place because its bigger than your normal coffee shop. They have a cute outdoor seating space tucked away in an ally. The staff is hip, not the smiliest bunch but they get your order right. They serve Stumptown coffee and pastries but the breakfast burrito is my favorite.
MoreExcellent place for productivity. Its spread out enough that you can avoid louder patrons, but still cozy with good downbeat music playing at just the right volume. Several outlets and choice of soft chairs, single tables, and big booths permit any sort of workspace for the itinerant remote professional. Drip coffee is good, comes in big mugs. Ill be back to try their soup or rice & beans.
MoreAwesome spot to hang out on a Sunday morning or early afternoon. Best to show up after noon, though if you want to grab a coffee and run. The barista is alone until then. The brick courtyard patio is a wonderful place to reunion with old friends on a sunny sunday afternoon.
MoreI love this place! I know the owners and they are so amazingly nice. I always have great time there and I look forward to going each time. I would love move vegan food options other than beans and rice, but the milk alternatives for the coffee are great. Would definitely recommend for anytime (:
MoreGreat location less than a block from the Chinatown/Old Town MAX station. I havent tried the coffee but the pastries are really delicious and taste fresh, even in the afternoon. The staff is friendly. There are plenty of seating options. No wi-fi as far as I could tell.
MoreMostly nice, but had sort of a touristy in and out feel to it. Also, I really disliked the blasting of oldies rock. I dont mine music, but it was incredibly hard to ignore while doing work. Overall, with all the great coffee shops around, Im not really sure why I would come here again. Maybe the food is where its at. I didnt try any. Also, the person behind the counter was kind of dismissive. I suppose he knew I wasnt the type for this place. I ordered tea.
MoreGood coffee and good food. But too loud (this is not a bar, you dont need to play alt. rock at maximum volume ALL THE TIMEand its not uncommon for the servers to completely forget about your order because theyre too busy chatting with each other. That has happened to me multiple times.
