Coava Coffee Roasters

We've seen signs for coava beans all throughout the area and figured this would be a great place to try out. Upon entering, we were pretty excited by what seems to be a true third wave coffee shop that prides themselves in their beans, process, flavor, and experience. I saw another customer get served a latte with beautiful latte art which kept my hopes high. Between the 4 coffee lovers in my group, we tried a black drip coffee and both espressos they had available. None of us really like any of them very much. The girl who got the drip says "tastes like regular coffee". My boyfriend and I, who are espresso chasers, did not like either of them. I think they have good technique (well balanced shot, good body, healthy crema-- almost a necessity in the Portland coffee scene), but the beans themselves were lacking. Flavor is highly underwhelming and none of the tasting notes were tasted. Tl;Dr if you care about the complexity of your coffee and espressos, don't come here. If you don't then this place is fine? There are too many other delicious places that honestly idk if I'd even truly recommend that.

Amazing coffee place! Great coffee and very nice people! They have some great pastries as well!

You can’t visit local PDX cafes without finding Coava beans on the shelves. I speak only to the espresso drinks, but the creaminess comes through the roast in an incredibly satisfying latte every time.

Delicious coffee and friendly staff! I got an oat milk latte (oat milk is made in house) and it was only 25 cents! The first time I went, I received an email offer for $5 off my next order. So if anything, come here to get a coupon for your second visit!
