Coffee Shop · 28 tips and reviews
Alley Hector: Super friendly service even as hip as it is and the coffee is delish. You have to ask for the cream but they DO have it ;)
Andrew C: Good coffee is a good description. Sometimes the staff seems a little too hip and disaffected for their own good. But you know, good coffee keeps ending up in my hand regardless.
Scot Olsen: Everything I love about Portland's coffee scene. Try the tiny chocolate chip cookies if the locals haven't stolen them all. Oh and the tea selection is on point.
Rebecca Rogers: Cute, trendy, and hip rooms. Stumptown Coffee, and Clyde Commons. No need to leave the building.
Portlandia: This hotel made an appearance on Portlandia as the “Deuce Hotel.” Known for its great décor, it has been called hip, modern, and funky and is located close to many of Portland’s favorite places.
Chet Mancini: Trendy spot in the center of everything. Hang out in the lobby with a Stumptown or hit up their bar. Rooms clean and fun, but beds not most comfortable in the city.
Serious Eats: This stylish, spacious roastery cafe shares space with a woodworking studio.
Al S: Very spacious cafe with a chic atmosphere. Quality coffee and great pourovers. Some seating, though not as much as you might expect for the size. Come early on weekdays when it's peaceful and quiet.
Dennis Hodge: Worth the wait. Very cool space to wait in.
Joseph Le: Super trendy place with beautiful and delicious cheese plates. Try the Aussie Lemonade too!
Aya Sato: Soft serve with chocolate ganache, sprinkled with espresso!!!!!
Ben Horten: Really delicious cheese selection with great sides and a nice happy hour menu. Can't remember the name exactly, but the sheep's cheese is unbeatable

Sushi Restaurant · 57 tips and reviews
Joseph Sun: fresh sushi and hip vibe
Jared: Some of the best sushi I've had. Green Dragon is an excellent roll, add albacore. Staff is amazing.
Eater: The first certified-sustainable sushi restaurant, the NW location ups the kitchen offerings to include seafood "charcuterie," featuring bites like uni custard and tuna prosciutto. [Eater 38 Member]
Emily Jordan: Great bubbles selection, trendy vibes
Jingyan: Omg: Nem nuong sausage good: la lot, Luc lac
Sereita Cobbs: Bit too much "Brooklyn" attitude from the staff, but the food is quite good. Go between 4p - 7p and enjoy the Happy Hour menu. $2 plates. Try a bunch if things, but don't miss the shrimp skewers.

Ice Cream Parlor · 129 tips and reviews
Gary Powell: It was just ok, a little over hyped like most trendy eateries here in PDX. The organic blueberry chocolate gelato at Caffe Pallino, right down the street, was better.
Sahana Kumar: Yum! Almond brittle with chocolate ganache was delicious
Neil Dacanay: Dessert after Pok Pok? Hell yes. Can't decide? Go w/ the flight.

Cuban Restaurant · 58 tips and reviews
Grant Kruger: Decent place to go, with unique food options, but crowded, trendy and a bit overpriced as well.
jamie schmid: Yummy drinks & the yucca was amazing
Lisa: The only indoor cuban restaurant I could find in Portland and it is AMAZING. After living in Miami and moving back to Portland, I needed a good place. The empanadas are to die for.
