Oregon entrepreneurs reveal their favorite caffeine hangouts.
World Cup Coffee | Portland
Surj Patel, co-founder of Smart Mocha, favors World Cup for its quiet atmosphere and “ultra cheap” meeting room rentals. “Just spend a certain amount on coffee and cakes.”
Noble Coffee Roasting | Ashland
ScaleUp Partners co-founder Mike Green likes this locally owned-and-operated shop because it’s “laid out in a manner conducive to working on my laptop or engaging in a meeting with a client.”
Floyd’s Coffee Shop | Portland
Ryan Frayne, the inventor and co-founder of Windcatcher Technology, doesn’t drink coffee. “But the teas, hot chocolate and food have all been pretty good.” Large tables in the back are great for meetings.
Sweetpea Baking Company | Portland
Brian Forrester, CEO of BuddyUp, is keen on the “vegan treats and big tables.” Don’t miss the fresh doughnuts on Saturday mornings.
Coava Coffee Roasters | Portland
“The best coffee hands down,” enthuses Patrick Triato, founder of the Goodwell Company. Coava shares a large industrial space with Bamboo Revolution, so it doesn’t take reservations for tables or private events. Always on tap: free wi-fi.
Not in the mood for caffeine?
TILT Bar | Portland
TILT Bar provides lots of open space, says Drew Downie, co-founder of collaboration project. “And it doesn’t feel odd if you whip out your laptop and work with a cold beer.”
