Arabica has the best coffee and espresso in Portland by far. Locally owned and staffed by amazing creatives, it has a welcoming atmosphere. The baked goods are mostly provided by a wonderful local bakery- Standard Baking. And I can't believe that no one has talked about the toast! Doug's house of toast delivers fresh toast every morning. If you get there around 9am, you may even get a chance to chat with Dough himself! So, if you want a fun, friendly, ""authentic"" taste of Portland, come here!\r
(Also, they have free Wi-Fi!)
Pros: great coffee, toast, yummy baked goods, free wi-fi, nice atmosphere
Cons: can get a little crowded at times
