In case you missed it: Portland’s coffee shops are making noise again . Across the city, a renaissance is rumbling with deeply personal takes on what a coffee can be. An earthy pistachio latte that pays homage to Korea’s specialty coffee culture. A rock and gem shop where amateur geologists commune over cappuccinos. A bar in a centuries-old warehouse diving deep into Mexican coffees and Japanese teas, with occasional one-offs from the owner’s personal collection.

Intrigued? It’s just a glimpse.

For months now, we’ve scoured the city for a fresh definition for Portland’s independent coffee scene and where to find it, exciting newcomers to the once-buzzy artisan roasters still defining neighborhoods. In a companion essay , our project collaborator, James Beard–winning journalist and Sprudge cofounder Jordan Michelman, argues why Portland coffee still matters in 2023. Bottom line: The conversation is shifting.

The city’s vaunted third-wave coffee scene, with its bearded, tattooed baristas and parody-level seriousness, has given way to a post-wave moment, open to new approaches and flavors. Snobbery is out; a democracy of drinking is in. The upshot: Never have the options been greater or more dynamic, including food that goes way beyond typical coffee shop snacks, from Japanese shaved ice to the perfect fried egg sandwich. Right now, you can visit a shop every day and never have the same experience twice, even at the same shop.

Consider this your guide to the wealth of places, new to old, remaking the case that Portland is a great indie coffee city. This is our focus, rather than the local mini-chains you might expect to find. Explore, have fun, and order what you like.

Abba Coffee Roasters

Pearl district

One of the newest cafes in town, Abba’s menu is influenced by Korean specialty coffee culture. Think black sesame lattes, creamy and sweet and topped with a dusting of black sesame powder, or an excellent pistachio latte, where earthy greenness blends beautifully with espresso. All the coffee here is roasted by Abba; the brand started roasting in 2019, but did not open its first proper cafe until early 2023, a light and airy space in the heart of the Pearl District with ample seating to read, study, or hang out with friends. This is an excellent new addition to Portland’s coffee scene, one the city is just getting to know as a cafe with room to grow and delight.  —JM

525 NW 11th Ave

Albina Press

Humboldt, Mt. Tabor

Both the Hawthorne and the namesake Albina location are true “neighborhood-neighborhood” coffee shops, with a patched floor and tagged bathrooms vibe. But Albina Press, open since 2004, was a leader in Portland’s third-wave coffee scene. Its influence spread to coffee shops around town: Billy Wilson, who went to open Barista, and Matt Higgins, now the CEO of Coava Coffee, worked there. Today, the cafe’s straightforward espresso drinks and French press by the cup are made from Coava beans. Both spots host an impressive rotating series of shows by local artists in their cozy, living room–like cafes. At either end of town, expect a room full of people catching up with friends or rattling off the afternoon’s emails until closing hour, 6 p.m.  —MT

5012 SE Hawthorne Blvd; 4637 N Albina Ave 

Carnelian Coffee

Foster-Powell

My personal favorite cafe in the city, a gem in the marly schist, a coffee bar like no other in Portland (or really the country), Carnelian Coffee is equal parts coffee bar and rock-hound haunt, a hub for amateur geologists and stone enthusiasts to gather, drink coffee, and soak in the million-year-old vibes. There’s just something about this place, a microroaster and single cafe location so entirely unpretentious and of itself, glowing under the citrine-yellow UV rock lights and serving a classically straightforward menu of teas and coffees with a couple of unusual inclusions, like a Lyle’s Golden Syrup drizzle on your cappuccino. There are rocks and gems throughout the entire interior, hanging shelves heaving with quartz and amethyst, gem displays everywhere, books for sale for the geo-curious. Maybe that’s why I love it so much. Can rocks make the coffee taste better? Something keeps me coming back.   —JM

Case Study Coffee brings the no-frills approach.

Image: Stuart Mullenberg

Case Study Coffee

Multiple Locations

Case Study’s cafes vary quite a bit in size, but consistently serve reliable cups of unfussy coffee made with beans roasted in house. An appreciation for “no-frills, approachable” coffees guides its focus as a roaster. Drip and espresso blends do most of the heavy lifting and make room for three seasonally rotating, single-origin coffees, one of which is always naturally processed. The shop on SW 10th is big and great for taking a meeting. Alberta is great for grab-and-go. Sandy has long tables reminiscent of a college library. Every cafe has a worn-in charm full of distressed wood and industrial lamps, reminding you they’ve been at it for over a decade, now with five locations across town.   —MT

Library nooks and velvet armchairs capture the vibe at Cathedral Coffee.

Cathedral Coffee

Cathedral Park

This St. Johns’ community favorite exemplifies what a neighborhood coffee shop can be. The recently launched house roasting program slaps nostalgia-inducing names onto its many roasts, like fruit cups, raspberry cream soda, and caramel apple. The large indoor area features graffiti-art walls, long live-edge wooden tables, and a little library nook with velvet armchairs and '90s coffee shop vibes. Don't forget to scan the pastry case, stacked full of housemade baked goods. The honey ham and pepper jack cheese turnover is a compact, on-the-go breakfast, while the chocolate chip banana bread and a cold brew make for a nice midday pick-me-up. —Sam Stites

7530 N Willamette Blvd

Courier Coffee

Beautiful chaos reigns at Courier, a scrappy, self-made world, absolute in its commitments. That includes a tiny counter with an imaginary line down the middle. The left side is devoted to Joel Domreis’s longtime coffee gem Courier; the right side is home base for Sakiko Setaka’s Soen, a whirling Japanese kitchen known for seasonal kakigori (shaved ice) made with an extreme handmade ethos and organic farm berries. Somehow, the couple defied the gods of reason to create a safe place for weirdness, with wonderful coffee, rolled-to-order norimaki rolls, and vinyl music in the mix. The coffee beans are exceptional—Domreis roasts each batch himself, a process he calls “watching the behavior of the beans.” Perfect cortados arrive in teeny jars. Mochas sing with super creamy vibes and high-brow chocolate, artful milk-etched leaves trailing off into random wisps, a reminder that life is not always perfect. Baking is a sub-genre here, including a masterful cannelé . But the real house obsession is ice, via a private well. From a giant ice block, Domreis hammers out primal, rough-edged, three-inch-long chunks to float like wild archipelagos in Courier’s iced coffee. It’s also the secret to Soen’s feathery kakigori. Bottom line: a treasure. —KB

Kicks and caffeine come together at Deadstock Coffee.

Deadstock Coffee

Often imitated, never duplicated. There is only one Deadstock Coffee, founder Ian Williams’s game-changing crossover collab of coffee and sneaker culture inspired by his own journey at Nike. Across the better part of a decade (an early cart version of Deadstock opened in 2015), Williams and his team of collaborators have built Deadstock into that rarest of municipal destinations, the sort of place beloved by both locals and tourists alike, alive every morning with conversation and music and art—both on the walls, and on everyone’s feet (this is the place to show off your favorite sneaker pair). The shop’s signature Lebronald Palmer is the rightly famous star from the shop’s secret menu, a cool-down refresher of coffee, sweet tea, and lemonade. But my favorite drink here is a straight espresso—they’re pulling some of the city’s best shots from their own outstanding in-house roasting program. —JM 

408 NW Couch St, Ste 408

Originally a teeny-tiny beloved Sellwood shop, today Either/Or resides in a single North Portland location as a daytime cafe serving espresso flights, inventive coffee cocktails, Bloody Marys, breakfast burritos, and English muffin  sandwiches. But it’s still got the same DIY charms of the original shop, with a cult following around the city (just see how many local chefs you can spot wearing their Either/Or hats with the adorable fat cat and watermelon logo). Chai lovers likely know the house sister company, Tanglewood Chai, which makes a range of chai syrups served here and at cafes around town. Coffee beans are sourced from several roasters, but more often than not, you’ll see bags from Portland's Heart Coffee Roasters on the counter. —MT

4003 N Williams Ave

The butterfly pea latte from Electrica.

Image: Courtesy Electrica

Northwest District

In a big-picture sense, Electrica—a cafe collaboration between barista Seiji Nanbu and Republica Hospitality Group—feels like a sort of “proof of concept” moment for the city’s modern coffee scene, drawing equally from the coffee traditions of Japan and Mexico to create something distinctly at home in Portland. But zoom in and you’ll find a cafe experience that stands on its own, outside of any bigger narrative, with a focus on pour-over coffees sourced from Mexico and roasted by Reforma Roasters in a stunning cafe space that doubles as a lobby for the homewares brand Schoolhouse Electric. Nanbu has traveled extensively between Japan and the Pacific Northwest, and has proven uniquely capable at crafting not just an exciting coffee experience, but also one of the city’s best destinations for high-quality tea, working with local purveyors like Mizuba Tea Company but often featuring specials and one-offs from his personal collection (think chamomile hojicha or rare, small-production sencha). There’s just one cafe I know of like this on earth—teas of Japan, coffees of Mexico, panaderia pastries and wagashi treats in a Pacific Northwest reclaimed industrial lobby—and so, of course, it’s here. Where else? — JM

2181 NW Nicolai St

The Fresh Pot

Sunnyside, Boise

Coffee culture in Portland has deep roots. The Fresh Pot has been open as an independent Portland cafe since 1997—it was the first wholesale cafe to serve Stumptown Coffee—and the Mississippi Avenue location has been around since 2002, housed inside a former Rexall Drugs building that dates back more than a hundred years. It’s hard to imagine the amount of history that’s crossed that intersection at Mississippi and Shaver, but you feel it in the creaky floorboards inside the Fresh Pot, a space that once held a classic drug store soda fountain, and today hosts one of the city’s great unchanged Gen X–era coffee shops. Get a black coffee to stay and sit outside if it’s not raining; the neighborhood sure has changed over the decades, but life flows by just the same. — JM

3729 SE Hawthorne Blvd, 4001 N Mississippi

Futura Coffee Roasters

Montavilla, Arbor Lodge

Quietly, Futura Coffee Roasters has been percolating since 2022 with friendly purpose, a regenerative soil mission, and the city’s best drip coffee, served with a heartfelt “Here you go, friend.” House beans walk on the wide side, tapping natural processes that lean into fruity flavors. Most are grown at coffee farming projects in Panama and Colombia, owned by partners Felipe Sardi and Sebastian  Villamizar, then roasted in Portland by cofounder CJ Speelman. Options include house chai, considered seasonal lattes, and blends named for Futura's planet-hugging philosophy: "Act, Love, Change." No fancy equipment for that drip coffee, two options daily, single origin or a blend. Baked goods from grain-forward Tabor Bread include an atomic sourdough croissant, super crackly and more sour than sour. Its synergy with the house coffee borders on otherworldly. You can also find two eggs with buttered toast for $5; add carrot miso or bacon from Clackamas County’s proudly carbon-negative Campfire Farms. Not one thing makes it stand out; it’s all the things: mindful sourcing, roasting, consistency, and service. —KB

Buzzy settings and stellar seasonal lattes are a Good Coffee signature.

Good Coffee

Founding brothers Sam and Nick Purvis are lifelong coffee industry veterans, and together they’ve built Good Coffee into perhaps the region’s premier indie chain, with six locations from Troutdale to Slabtown to PDX Airport Concourse B. My favorite Good is inside the Woodlark Hotel downtown, a stunning cafe that captures much of the hotel lobby across a sprawling clutch of deep, cozy couches and modern tables, buzzy with big-city energy and high-quality drinks to match. The seasonal lattes at Good are always an event, offering daring, uncommon  flavors like smoked fig and allspice, hojicha vanilla, and cherry chili cacao. —JM

Books and coffee. What more could you want at Guilder?

Image: Isabel Lemus Kristensen

Alameda, Downtown, cully

There’s a world’s worth of recommendations to give for Guilder Coffee, whose flagship two-floor cafe on NE Fremont and 23rd and excellent roasting brand, Junior’s, provides steady leadership, education, and community building for the city’s coffee scene. But it is their second cafe, opened in 2021 inside of the legendary Powell’s City of Books on Burnside, that I think deserves all the flowers. Taking over the cafe space inside of Powell’s was no easy assignment; this is a city institution deeply identified with Portland’s municipal soul, through which many thousands of locals and visitors flow each day. Guilder stepped in with pandemic uncertainties still raging, and downtown reeling. What they’ve built feels monumental, a cafe of the scale and execution befitting one of the world’s great bookstores, with a bank of stadium seating, swopping midcentury chairs, and a perpetually packed communal table, perfect for Powell’s, our city living room. The coffee is outstanding, both to stay and to go—consider adding a bag of beans to the contents of your Powell’s tote. And if you need a beer later after all that literary thought, Junior’s now has its own cafe at NE 72nd and Prescott in collaboration with Upright Brewing.  —JM

2393 NE Fremont St; 1005 W Burnside St; 7151 NE Prescott St (Junior's)

Heart Coffee

Kerns, Woodstock

Founded in 2009 by retired pro snowboarder Wille Yli-Luoma and his wife Rebekah, Heart is emblematic of coffee cool in Portland. The sleek, minimal, and extremely intentionally curated cafes are the face of a widely distributed and well-respected roaster. Heart’s coffees follow suit, with the seasonally adjusted stereo blend serving as your anything-but-casual daily driver and carefully sourced (by physically visiting the farms that produce them) single-origin offerings; some of the resulting coffees are named after the farmers who grew them. Order a single-origin espresso and ask your barista to tell you about it to get the full experience. There’s no Wi-Fi at either spot, making it ideal for unplugging and focusing on a good cup of coffee. —MT

2211 E Burnside St, 5181 Woodstock St

In J Coffee / Super Joy Coffee

Downtown, Goose Hollow

Though most people think of tea as China's caffeine, these self-described Chinese coffee shops aim to show a rarely seen side of Chinese culture through coffee . In J Coffee, just off the Park Blocks, serves Super Joy beans, while Super Joy's roastery in Goose Hollow also houses a coffee shop. Though their specialty drinks are less compelling now—no more osmanthus lattes and soy sauce caramel lattes—Super Joy's Sichuan peppercorn mocha and In J's lychee-rose sakura latte still show the cafes' rich potential. Plus, where else can you buy bags of freshly roasted single-origin coffee beans from Yunnan, China? Co-founder Joe (Wenbo) Yang has stepped back from his ownership role but is still roasting the cafes' beans, while co-founder and barista Topher Ou is now helming both cafes. —KCH

1431 SW Park Ave, 1401 SW Yamhill St

J Vein Caffè

Rose City Park

Step up to the sleek silver Airstream bus at the Rose City Food Park to find a secret oasis of real-deal Italian cappuccinos and daily Bakeshop croissants, open since 2019. Gregarious owner-barista JJ Johnston will ask you if you like your cap wet or dry, pull the shot using Spella espresso beans, and pour the milk at the window so you can see the coffee art happen in real time. He’ll ask you to take a sip—the milk will nearly be cascading out of the cup’s rim—and let him know if everything’s to your liking. If you don’t want to cross the river to Spella’s new little cafe in Harrison Square, this is where you go for the best dark-roasted, no-nonsense cappuccino, not to mention the refreshing cold caffe shakerato for sunny days. —KCH

5235 NE Sandy Blvd

Kalesa Coffee

This brand-new Filipino-owned coffee shop got its start as an occasional pop-up at Southeast Portland Filipino restaurant  Magna , and just recently opened in the Gotham Building near the Fremont Bridge.   Kalesa serves its own roast, slinging drinks like coconut cold brew topped with creamy ube whip, coconut pandan cream soda, sweet corn shakeratos, and mango calamansi with Sweet Creature PDX chamoy. Even the pastry case is a show of Filipino pride from various local bakers, including   pan de sal from breakfast sandwich cart breakout Balong that's perfect for dipping in coffee,  Allie G’ s fluffy coffee pandan mamon, and pandan and ube crinkle cookies from the Kalat House .  —ILK

722 N Page St

Keeper Coffee

This homey, rustic cafe is everything you could want in a neighborhood coffee shop and more. Espresso drinks are skillfully assembled with Coava beans, and if you’re lucky, you might get a cappuccino made by star barista Morgan Eckroth, the 2022 US Barista champion. Tea drinkers get just as much love—no generic tea bags here—with a full menu of caffeinated and herbal teas from Aesthete Tea served in glass pots, plus Mizuba matcha and One Stripe chai. But Keeper is also a bakery, stocking its pastry case with sweet and savory scones, hefty quiches, an impeccable pecan sticky bun, and weekend breads like focaccia and brioche. A creaky wooden floor, a menu hand-painted on a mirror, and mismatched vintage chairs and tables add to the charm, making it equally suited for coffee dates or a morning of remote work. —KCH

4515 SE 41st Ave

Less and More, a coffee shop and an ethos, apparently.

Less and More Coffee

Nestled inside a decommissioned bus shelter, Less and More is one of Portland’s best coffee shops, a reason in itself to take a trip downtown. Owner Ryan Jie Jiang combines house-roasted beans into beautifully layered, delicately flavored, and not-too-sweet specialty drinks, often drawing from his Chinese Korean heritage. Toasty, nutty black sesame cream tops an iced latte, while ssuk, that bitter, grassy plant also known as mugwort, makes for a refreshing non-coffee drink. Cloud cream, a thick cap of lightly sweetened half-and-half, or tiramisu cream, a silky layer of mascarpone, can also top off your lattes. Even without flavors, the espresso is done well—but Jiang proves that good coffee can also be playful and highly personal. Grab a pastry from the esteemed Bakeshop bakery while you’re at it. Seating is limited to just a few bar seats around the bus station’s edge, but an additional brick-and-mortar location is coming in April.  —KCH

Never a dull drink at Never Coffee.

Never Coffee

Never Coffee's Belmont space anchors a particularly creative block of Southeast Portland, making it an easy caffeine destination for your next visit to Ardor Wines, Movie Madness, or the carts at Bite on Belmont. The shop’s petite interior balances monochrome with pops of color—the rainbow lettering on the espresso machine, the Birds of Paradise array of the coffee bags—alongside outstanding signature drinks like the Midnight Oil latte with licorice syrup, or the Oregon Latte with hops and dulce de leche. There’s ample picnic table seating out front, which flows throughout the day from serving the cafe to the food carts to the wine bar. —JM

4243 SE Belmont St

Portland Cà Phê

Creston-Kenilworth, Eliot

When you order a Vietnamese coffee in the United States, it may not have been made with coffee beans from Vietnam, but with a coffee-chicory blend from Cafe Du Monde, the New Orleans cafe that uses beans of undisclosed origin. But that’s not the case at Portland Cà Phê, which sources 100 percent of its beans from Vietnam. Though arabica coffee is more prominent in upscale coffee in the United States, Vietnam is the world’s biggest producer of robusta beans, which have historically been considered inferior. But the Good Morning blend showcases robusta’s beauty, while the house blend combines equal parts of both, proving that Vietnamese coffee deserves its spot in the craft coffee world. Get a cà phê sữa dá with housemade condensed milk or a bright, marshmallowy ube latte made from the actual root itself, preferably topped with salty cream cheese foam. Plus, it's hard to ask for better coffee shop edibles than chewy rice flour doughnuts from Heyday and banh mi from House of Banh Mi. —KCH

2815 SE Holgate Blvd, 2601 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd

Prince Coffee

Beaumont-Wilshire, Northwest District

Looking for proof that your cafe has reached “neighborhood icon” status? Try standing in line at 8:15 a.m. behind a half-dozen 8th graders ordering mochas and matchas, a scene you’ll find inside the Fremont location of Prince Coffee each morning before the bell rings at nearby Beaumont Middle School. Drawing on Dutch coffee culture (get the Stroop Latte with caramel and cinnamon) and featuring a rotation of guest roasters from Northern Europe, Prince is the closest you can get to Amsterdam in Portland without booking the Delta direct flight to Schiphol. A second location on NW 19th opened in late 2022, with expanded food options (including tinned fish platters and Chex Mix) and pours from women winemakers by the glass, blurring the line between neighborhood cafe and wine bar.  —JM

4523 NE Fremont St, 915 NW 19th Ave

Push X Pull Coffee

This industrial-comfy shop shows where you can go with a passion for natural coffees and one exemplary breakfast sandwich. The perfect morning here begins with straight brewed coffee, whatever the house is brewing in all its naked, expressive glory. Add the fried egg sandwich, which tucks melted cheddar into a fresh-made toasted sweet bolo roll, then help yourself to hot sauces in the fridge. Push X Pull specializes in coffees that have gone through “natural processing”—the oldest form of coffee production, where heat, gravity, and time are used to naturally remove fruit from bean, yielding sometimes wild, evocative coffees with flavors of blueberry and banana. Look for multiple offerings daily, representing natural style coffees from Uganda, Guatemala, Indonesia, and all parts between. Drink straight brewed coffee here, at least to start, and embrace a style of coffee capable of flavors that may delight and surprise you. Extend the experience with a mole mocha or a crisp Belgian waffle. —KB and JM  

821 SE Stark St

Roseline Cafe

After years as a beloved wholesale roaster, Roseline opened its cafe in 2019 next to Market of Choice in the Goat Blocks. Along the way, it never lost sight of its strong focus on high-quality coffee, which is consistently nuanced and subtle. At the cafe, mochas made with Cloudforest’s 70 percent dark chocolate are the jumping-off point for more-than-just-coffee drinks; further down the menu is the surprisingly not-too-sweet snickerdoodle latte and another, the Due North latte, is spiced with pink peppercorns. The cafe itself has a tidy, modern feel with intricate tile counters and espresso cups gilded with an enameled rose logo. There’s plenty of seating to hang out for a while and listen to the mellow acoustic tunes while snacking on a fully stocked list of pastries from creative Portland bakery Nuvrei. —MT

1015 SE 11th Ave, Ste 100

Caffeinated cotton candy for breakfast? Yes, you want it, if only for the sheer shock and pleasure, not to mention the Instagram video (we’re not judging; go for it). Snow Affogato is the house special at Soro Soro, a Korean coffee shop that doubles as a Museum of Cute, with thousands of miniature knick-knacks for sale. Basically, pour your hot espresso over a giant, sugar-spun cloud, then watch it gurgle, melt, and morph into coffee toffee that infuses the ice cream hidden below. Snow Affogato earned owner Tae Kim and his wife Bobae a following in LA and now in Portland, where lines form for their playful approach. Lattes arrive with stenciled smile-inducing bear art. Syrup flavors are encyclopedic, cherry blossom to taro, and the pastry case pops with adorable animal-themed pastries, rainbow cake in high-def Crayola colors, and one very vegetal matcha tiramisu. Suffice to say, no smiley face or anthropomorphic vegetable is left behind in the back-room gift shop. —KB

A warm atmosphere and darn good coffee pervades at Sterling.

Sterling Coffee

Coming here is like rolling downstairs to the kitchen table, a place where everyone and their dogs gather for friendly coffee craft, banter, and neighborhood gossip. Warmth, connection, and dialed drinks with a smile are the law. Anything less would be a near-death experience for Sterling’s Aric Miller, still unwavering in his commitment to create a shop that feels like home, nearly 18 years running. A sweet air of punctilio pervades this lo-fi space—baristas in black shirts, espresso flights with Glencairn whisky glasses, acclaimed Bakeshop pastries, a patch of wallpaper by Victorian textile influencer William Morris. Everything is taken seriously, except seriousness itself. Cappuccinos are a true believer’s experience, and the hot chocolate glows with handmade Ecuadorian chocolate from Portland’s Cloudforest. The lattes say it all. In contrast to shops that worship unadorned black coffee, Sterling’s signature Blendo Stupendo beans are tailored for milk drinks, almost defiant in their accessible notes of chocolate and caramel. They taste like happiness.  —KB

Tov pours love into every sip.

Tōv Coffee

On the corner of Hawthorne and 32nd sits a bright-red, 50-year-old double-decker bus-turned-cafe. Owner Joe Nazir, who grew up in Cairo, opened the cafe in 2015 after driving the unwieldy bus up from San Diego. On the bus’s first floor, Nazir crafts drinks inside the tiny espresso bar, including finely ground Egyptian coffee with cardamom—brewed by tucking the coffee into a bowl of hot sand. Other standouts: the Mint Thing iced coffee, or a rich double-shot espresso and cinnamon-infused Smells Like the Mall latte. Nazir’s mother bakes all the house pastries, like sweet and syrupy basboosa with semolina flour, coconut shavings, and almonds, to pair with your coffee. Take your drinks upstairs to enjoy on the bus’s oasis-like roof deck, complete with rich red textiles and embroidered pillows hand-carried from Egypt. —ILK

Upper Left Roasters

Ladd's Addition

Upper Left might have the most substantial food menu of any coffee shop in town. It’s filled with snacky brunch dishes like made-to-order croissant sandwiches and lox toasts—best enjoyed on the sprawling patio, when the weather cooperates. The inside is bright and open with terra-cotta pendant lights and coffee roasting equipment visible from the blond wood bar. It’s almost always packed with people working and having meetings. The cafe offers single-origin beans from across South and Central America and Africa, as well as several blends aimed at specific brewing methods with approachable, well-rounded flavor profiles. —MT

case study coffee alberta

Alberta Arts District lovers rejoice: Case Study Coffee is opening its third location on NE Alberta, sharing a courtyard with the Tin Shed. Opening the first Case Study in the then-wasteland of Sandy in NE, the husband-and-wife team of Wes Russell and Christine Herman Russell established their second location in 2012 downtown, with characteristic spacious design and handcrafted woodwork. (Case Study pays homage to the mid-century architectural movement of the same name.)

The new location will be home to a vintage (1948) German Probat roaster with a continent-spanning story, as well as 1,100 square feet of space split between the ground floor and the mezzanine , with lots of outdoor seating. Unique among Portland roasters for selling no wholesale coffee, Case Study will offer its famed fleur de del caramel latte along with pour overs, espressos on an undisclosed machine, and their symphony-in-a-cup drinking chocolate. Five blocks down, just behind the new Little Big Burger , Case Study's new warehouse will house a full educational space complete with cupping room and espresso bar. Case Study plans to open the Alberta location sometime in July . · Case Study Coffee [Official site] · All Previous Coffee Coverage [Eater PDX]

Transcend coffee: local sustainability challenges in a global industry change management analysis & solution, hbr change management solutions, leadership & managing people case study | joel gehman, nicole neufeld, dasha smirnow, siddharth agrawal, case study description.

In 2014, Transcend Coffee-an independent coffee shop and coffee bean roaster with several locations in Edmonton, Alberta-was selling premium coffee to a loyal base of customers. While it had taken several years to establish its presence in a marketplace that was filled with coffee retailers, Transcend Coffee's success was in part due to its direct trade supply chain strategy. By working closely with its coffee bean farmers, Transcend Coffee was able to assist in improving both the growing process of the beans and the quality of the coffee. When one of its farmers experienced a disastrous coffee bean season, the company was faced with several challenges that could have an impact on not just its profits but also the livelihood of its farmers. With demand for its coffee at an all-time high, Transcend Coffee had to consider how to mitigate a supply shortage without sacrificing quality.

According to John P. Kotter – Change Management efforts are the major initiatives an organization undertakes to either boost productivity, increase product quality, improve the organizational culture, or reverse the present downward spiral that the company is going through. Sooner or later every organization requires change management efforts because without reinventing itself organization tends to lose out in the competitive market environment. The competitors catch up with it in products and service delivery, disruptors take away the lucrative and niche market positioning, or management ends up sitting on its own laurels thus missing out on the new trends, opportunities and developments in the industry.

How you can apply Change Management Principles to Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry case study?

Leaders can implement Change Management efforts in the organization by following the “Eight Steps Method of Change Management” by John P. Kotter.

Step 1 - Establish a sense of urgency

What are areas that require urgent change management efforts in the “ Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry “ case study. Some of the areas that require urgent changes are – organizing sales force to meet competitive realities, building new organizational structure to enter new markets or explore new opportunities. The leader needs to convince the managers that the status quo is far more dangerous than the change efforts.

Step 2 - Form a powerful guiding coalition

As mentioned earlier in the paper, most change efforts are undertaken by new management which has far less trust in the bank compare to the people with whom the organization staff has worked for long period of time. New leaders need to tap in the talent of the existing managers and integrate them in the change management efforts . This will for a powerful guiding coalition that not only understands the urgency of the situation but also has the trust of the employees in the organization. If the team able to explain at the grass roots level what went wrong, why organization need change, and what will be the outcomes of the change efforts then there will be a far more positive sentiment about change efforts among the rank and file.

Step 3 - Create a vision

The most critical role of the leader who is leading the change efforts is – creating and communicating a vision that can have a broader buy-in among employees throughout the organization. The vision should not only talk about broader objectives but also about how every little change can add up to the improvement in the overall organization.

Step 4 - Communicating the vision

Leaders need to use every vehicle to communicate the desired outcomes of the change efforts and how each employee impacted by it can contribute to achieve the desired change. Secondly the communication efforts need to answer a simple question for employees – “What it is in for the them”. If the vision doesn’t provide answer to this question then the change efforts are bound to fail because it won’t have buy-in from the required stakeholders of the organization.

Step 5 -Empower other to act on the vision

Once the vision is set and communicated, change management leadership should empower people at every level to take decisions regarding the change efforts. The empowerment should follow two key principles – it shouldn’t be too structured that it takes away improvisation capabilities of the managers who are working on the fronts. Secondly it shouldn’t be too loosely defined that people at the execution level can take it away from the desired vision and objectives.

Step 6 - Plan for and create short term wins

Initially the change efforts will bring more disruption then positive change because it is transforming the status quo. For example new training to increase productivity initially will lead to decrease in level of current productivity because workers are learning new skills and way of doing things. It can demotivate the employees regarding change efforts. To overcome such scenarios the change management leadership should focus on short term wins within the long term transformation. They should carefully craft short term goals, reward employees for achieving short term wins, and provide a comprehensive understanding of how these short term wins fit into the overall vision and objectives of the change management efforts.

Step 7 - Consolidate improvements and produce more change

Short term wins lead to renewed enthusiasm among the employees to implement change efforts. Management should go ahead to put a framework where the improvements made so far are consolidated and more change efforts can be built on the top of the present change efforts.

Step 8 - Institutionalize new approaches

Once the improvements are consolidated, leadership needs to take steps to institutionalize the processes and changes that are made. It needs to stress how the change efforts have delivered success in the desired manner. It should highlight the connection between corporate success and new behaviour. Finally organization management needs to create organizational structure, leadership, and performance plans consistent with the new approach.

Is change management a process or event?

What many leaders and managers at the Coffee Alberta fails to recognize is that – Change Management is a deliberate and detail oriented process rather than an event where the management declares that the changes it needs to make in the organization to thrive. Change management not only impact the operational processes of the organization but also the cultural and integral values of the organization.

Case Description of Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry Case Study

In 2014, Transcend Coffee-an independent coffee shop and coffee bean roaster with several locations in Edmonton, Alberta-was selling premium coffee to a loyal base of customers. While it had taken several years to establish its presence in a marketplace that was filled with coffee retailers, Transcend Coffee's success was in part due to its direct trade supply chain strategy. By working closely with its coffee bean farmers, Transcend Coffee was able to assist in improving both the growing process of the beans and the quality of the coffee. When one of its farmers experienced a disastrous coffee bean season, the company was faced with several challenges that could have an impact on not just its profits but also the livelihood of its farmers. With demand for its coffee at an all-time high, Transcend Coffee had to consider how to mitigate a supply shortage without sacrificing quality. The founder was unsure if the current supply chain could guarantee a steady supply of high-quality coffee, or whether he could maintain transparency with consumers and suppliers if there was variability with the product. He had to quickly decide what to do about the poor harvest and his relationship with the supplier and also figure out how to meet customer demand.

- Robust Domestic Market that Coffee Alberta Operates in - The domestic market in which Coffee Alberta is operating is both a source of strength and roadblock to the growth and innovation of the company. Based on details provided in the Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry case study – Coffee Alberta can easily grow in its domestic market without much innovation but will require further investment into research and development to enter international market. The temptation so far for the managers at Coffee Alberta is to focus on the domestic market only.

In Financial management, International business, Strategy, Sustainability areas, the firm needs to navigate environment by building strong relationship with lobby groups and political network.

What are Weakness in SWOT Analysis

Weakness- Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry

Weaknesses are the areas, capabilities or skills in which Coffee Alberta lacks. It limits the ability of the firm to build a sustainable competitive advantage. Weaknesses come from lack or absence of five key resources & capabilities - activities & processes, human resources, past experiences and successes, physical resources such as land, building, and financial resources .

- Organization Culture – It seems that organization culture of Coffee Alberta is still dominated by turf wars within various divisions, leading to managers keeping information close to their chests. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal of Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry case study, this can lead to serious road blocks in future growth as information in silos can result can lead to missed opportunities in market place.

- Inventory Management – Based on the details provided in the Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry case study, we can conclude that Coffee Alberta is not efficiently managing the inventory and cash cycle. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , there is huge scope of improvement in inventory management.

- Low Return on Investment – Even though Coffee Alberta is having a stable balance sheet, one metrics that needs reflection is “Return on Invested Capital”. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal in areas Financial management, International business, Strategy, Sustainability that Coffee Alberta operates in the most reliable measure of profitability is Return on Invested Capital rather than one favored by financial analysts such as – Return on Equity & Return on Assets.

- Implementation of Technology in Processes – Even though Coffee Alberta has integrated technology in the backend processes it has still not able to harness the power of technology in the front end processes.

- Track record on environment consideration is not very encouraging – Coffee Alberta track record on environmental issues is not very encouraging. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , this can lead to consumer backlash as customers are now considering environmental protections as integral to part of doing business.

- Lack of Work force diversity – I believe that Coffee Alberta is not diverse enough given that most of its growth so far is in its domestic market. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , this can reduce the potential of success of Coffee Alberta in the international market.

What are Opportunities in SWOT Analysis

Opportunities- Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry

Opportunities are macro environment factors and developments that Coffee Alberta can leverage either to consolidate existing market position or use them for further expansion. Opportunities can emerge from various factors such as - increase in consumer disposable income, economic growth, political developments & policy changes, changes in consumer preferences, and technological innovations .

- Opportunities in Adjacent Markets – Coffee Alberta can explore adjacent industries Financial management, International business, Strategy, Sustainability to further market growth especially by extending the features of present products and services.

- Reducing Cost of Market Entry and Marketing into International Markets – According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal, globalization along with boom in digital marketing and social media has considerably reduced the risks of market entry and marketing in international market.

- Changing Technology Landscape – Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence boom is transforming the technology landscape that Coffee Alberta operates in. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , Coffee Alberta can use these developments in improving efficiencies, lowering costs, and transforming processes.

- Lucrative Opportunities in International Markets – Globalization has led to opportunities in the international market. Coffee Alberta is in prime position to tap on those opportunities and grow the market share. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , growth in international market can also help Coffee Alberta to diversify the risk as it will be less dependent on the domestic market for revenue.

- Increasing Standardization – Coffee Alberta can leverage this trend to reduce the number of offerings in the market and focus the marketing efforts on only the most successful products.

- Growing Market Size and Evolving Preferences of Consumers – Over the last decade and half the market size has grown at brisk pace. The influx of new customers has also led to evolution of consumer preferences and tastes. This presents Coffee Alberta two big challenges – how to maintain loyal customers and how to cater to the new customers. Coffee Alberta has tried to diversify first using different brands and then by adding various features based on customer preferences.

What are Threats in SWOT Analysis

Threats- Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry

Threats are macro environment factors and developments that can derail business model of Coffee Alberta. Threats can emerge from various factors such as - increase in consumer disposable income, technological innovations, changes in consumer preferences, economic growth, and political developments & policy changes .

- Squeezing Middle Class in Developed and Developing World – The growing inequality is one of the biggest threat to not only globalization but also to capitalism. Coffee Alberta first hand witnessed the impact of it where it has seen lower demand of its products from middle class customers in US and EU market.

- Government Regulations and Bureaucracy – Coffee Alberta should keep a close eye on the fast changing government regulations under the growing pressure from protest groups and non government organization especially regarding to environmental and labor safety aspects.

- Increasing bargaining power of buyers – Over the years the bargaining power of customers of Coffee Alberta has increased significantly that is putting downward pressure on prices. The company can pursue horizontal integration to consolidate and bring efficiencies but I believe it will be a short term relief. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal , Coffee Alberta needs fundamental changes to business model rather than cosmetic changes.

- Culture of sticky prices in the industry – Coffee Alberta operates in an industry where there is a culture of sticky prices. According to Joel Gehman, Nicole Neufeld, Dasha Smirnow, Siddharth Agrawal of Transcend Coffee: Local Sustainability Challenges in a Global Industry case study, this can lead to inability on part of the organization to increase prices that its premium prices deserve.

- US China Trade Relations – Coffee Alberta has focused on China for its next phase of growth. But there is growing tension between US China trade relations and it can lead to protectionism, more friction into international trade, rising costs both in terms of labor cost and cost of doing business.

- Growing Protectionism - Coffee Alberta should hedge the risk against growing protectionism ranging from – storing data into international market to diversifying risk by operating into countries at different economic cycle.

Case Study Coffee

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Grab your work or a book and head here for fabulous coffee (I love their dirty chai) and pastries. Options available for vegan and for gluten free. Nestle in upstairs in the loft, or bask out in the courtyard. Coffee is roasted on site, and... always fresh. This is where the locals go More

We were in town for the weekend, and really love this area. We had dinner in the area the evening before and lunch the following day, and noted this coffee shop. Really cool vibe. Location has outdoor seating (on nicer weather days), with an open... garage door, as well as indoor seating, both upstairs and down. Coffee roasting on site. We stopped by midafternoon on a Saturday and had a short line, but reasonable. I ordered a cappuccino to go. Very well made. Evident these folks know coffee. Welcomes dogs, and have treats at the counter (which I love). Definitely recommend. More

We had a wonderful coffee experience here- regular drip and latte. There are many syrups and alternate milk available. The staff was patient and the coffee delish.

They have a loyal following and the staff struggles to keep up with demand. Very low key people who are friendly . Very mixed group of people including young kids , retirees. Working class. Etc. very

The other two locations (downtown near the library and out on Sandy Avenue) are spacious one story coffee shops. The one downtown is consistently the most crowded. This Alberta coffee shop is on two floors, a smaller shop than the other two with few places... to sit on the first floor. Inevitably that means that for a good table and chairs, you will trek up a flight of stairs with your coffee and treat in hand. It's kind of a pain if you have your bag, coat, etc. AND the drinks. Personally, I think that in some cases the staff (who weren't busy the day I went) should offer to bring it up to customers. There was no bus tray upstairs the day I went. (This omission is slightly unusual), so I had to trek downstairs with my dirty dishes and bags, coats, etc. It was totally unnecessary. The treat I had that Wednesday morning at around 8:00 a.m. was a Bake Shop Treat that I hadn't seen at any of the local coffee shops, so I was intrigued. It wasn't that good. Wifi worked fine and was relatively easy to access. The morning I went there were a few tables taken upstairs, but many remained open. Oh, and they use these pseudo-grade school chairs for seating, which I've seen at other coffee shops. They're not particularly comfortable. In short, I prefer the other two locations over this one, and probably won't be back in the near future. More

Case Study Coffee Crew: Joe Yang Goes to the Brewer's Cup!

Feb 02, 2018

case study coffee alberta

We like to think our shops are all special: with Downtown’s copper counter tops; the rustic yet classy gravel floors and loft seating of Alberta; the golden glow of the sun hitting exposed wood through our vast Sandy windows. But what makes Case Study what it really is: in large part, it is our incredibly dedicated, kind hearted, and passionate staff members!

We like to celebrate the entirety of our hardworking staff. Today, we are proud to announce that our very own Joe Yang is heading down to New Orleans to compete in the Brewers Cup on February 3-4! 

case study coffee alberta

Originally from China, Wenbo “Joe” Yang lived the city of Hefei, China (in the province Anhui.) Joe also worked as a salesman and Q grader for La Marzocco in China, where his passion for learning about coffee and brewing methods grew. In Anhui, Joe owned his own coffee shop. “People in China do not drink coffee,” he confides, adding that his shop was mostly used as a place for people to sit, do work, and hang out. “Many people, they would buy a cup of coffee and sit for hours –“ Chinese culture does tend to focus more heavily on tea and less on coffee – Joe expresses that people are more likely to sip a cup of soybean milk in the morning than a cup ‘o joe.

Living in a culture without much focus in coffee, Joe saw more of a future in the United States, where third wave coffee culture is thriving and ever changing.

In 2014, he moved to LA with his family, though did not adopt a career in coffee until moving up to Portland about a year later. Flash forward to today: Joe has been a valuable part of our Case Study family for almost a year, a staple of our Sandy location, and an expert barista. You’ll often see him with his own personal gear, perfecting and crafting each espresso drink.

We’re all so excited to hear about Joe’s newest adventure to New Orleans for the next part of the Brewer’s Cup! Our very own Dylan McClain won the Aeropress Championship in 2016 and it’s an honor to have another Case Study barista in a brewing competition.

In September, Joe won 3 rd place in the Brewer’s Cup preliminary competition, landing him a place in the next round in New Orleans, LA. Joe says he’s most excited for what he’ll learn: “I learn a lot from the competition –“ this is the best outcome, he says, even if he doesn’t win the competition itself, he’ll win more knowledge to continue brewing more amazing coffee.
