Coffee in Portland

Portland has roasted its own coffee for a long time. Kobos Coffee has roasted in the city since October 1973, and Stumptown opened its first cafe in a former hair salon on SE Division in 1999. Today its roasters run from one-cafe shops on NW 21st Ave to a B Corp importing a family's Brazilian harvest. Multnomah Coffee Club sends a bag from a different Oregon roaster in every box, and Portland's roasters are a large part of that list.

Roasters in and near Portland

These are the Portland roasters we profiled in depth. We list 45 more Portland roasters with shorter profiles, from Abba Coffee Roasters to Zamora Coffee, on our Oregon roasters list. A listing means we like the coffee. It does not mean the roaster is part of the club.

  • Roseline Coffee, Portland: started in October 2012 as a small wholesale roaster on SE 10th Ave, named for the Rose City and for the red stripe baristas look for in a good espresso shot.
  • Case Study Coffee Roasters, Portland: the first shop opened on Sandy Boulevard in Rose City Park, and every cafe it runs today is in Portland.
  • Coava Coffee Roasters, Portland: started in 2008 in Matt Higgins's North Portland garage, and the name is an old word for green, unroasted coffee.
  • Heart Coffee Roasters, Portland: skips the light, medium and dark labels and prints a roast date and batch number on every bag.
  • Nossa Familia Coffee, Portland: began in 2004 with a container of the founder's family coffee from Brazil and calls itself Oregon's first Certified B Corp coffee roaster.
  • Portland Coffee Roasters, Portland: its first direct trade shipment came from the La Hilda Estate in Costa Rica, and it still roasts La Hilda every year.
  • Sterling Coffee Roasters, Portland: one cafe on NW 21st Ave, and each coffee is named for how it tastes.
  • Trailhead Coffee Roasters, Portland: roasts in the restored Glass Lab Building on SE Mill St and delivers to markets and cafes by cargo bicycle.
  • Water Avenue Coffee, Portland: began roasting in the winter of 2009 near the Willamette River on a 1974 French-built Samiac roaster. Harder Day Coffee has owned it since August 2024.
  • Kobos Coffee, Portland: founded by David and Susan Kobos, former New York City schoolteachers, and roasting in Portland since October 1973. We have not written a profile for Kobos yet.

A bag from one of these shops pays for roasting and cafe work in Portland: Roseline's roasting, packing and distribution jobs all sit at its Portland roastery. We wrote more on why local roasters matter.

Portland's coffee story

Stumptown Coffee Roasters opened its first cafe in 1999 at SE 45th and Division, in a building that had been a hair salon called The Hair Bender. The company is now owned by Peet's, so it is not an independent roaster and we do not list it.

Kobos is older. David and Susan Kobos left teaching in New York City and started roasting in Portland in October 1973, which puts the shop more than a quarter century ahead of Stumptown's first cafe.

Portland Coffee Roasters came in 1996, founded by Mark Stell, who still runs it. It was first called Portland Roasting Coffee Company and counts among the city's oldest coffee companies. Over the years it has run cafes in southeast Portland and at Portland International Airport, and in 2024 it made the Dillon T. Pickle Blend with the Portland Pickles baseball team.

Neighborhood cafes shaped the next wave. Case Study grew one neighborhood at a time, adding a downtown cafe in 2012 and an Alberta Street cafe in the King neighborhood in 2014, and Willamette Week readers named it Best Coffee Shop in 2016 and again in 2017. Heart opened its first cafe on East Burnside in the Kerns neighborhood in 2009, and Thrillist put it on its lists of the country's top roasters in 2013 and 2016.

Small roasters in the city also share space to grow. In 2022 Sterling, Spella Caffe and Cascadia Coffee Roasters announced plans to share a production facility in northeast Portland.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Oregon and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@multnomahcoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
