The Best Coffee Date Spots in Portland
Pick a side of the river and a pace that suits both of you. Portland offers central cafés and dining rooms as well as wooded parks; these are separate date ideas, not a route to finish in one outing.
Coffee makes a useful first plan because neither person has to commit to a whole evening. These five cafés give you a specific place to meet, with the option to keep the conversation going afterward. Check the exact branch below, especially when a roaster has more than one location.
This selection includes BEST Coffee, Drip Drop Coffee, Slow Haste Coffee, Clark's Coffee and PDX Coffee Club. Use the map and practical details below to pick the one that fits your date.
BEST Coffee
A coffee counter inside Portland Food Hall. Start with a coffee and let the conversation decide how long you stay. Use the café website for current opening times and the menu.
Drip Drop Coffee
A Portland café with its own drinks menu. Keep the invitation simple: a specific branch, a time and a drink together. Use the café website for current opening times and the menu.
Slow Haste Coffee
A neighborhood café sharing a space on Northeast Glisan Street. A useful place to begin when you would rather meet in daylight than plan a long evening. Use the café website for current opening times and the menu.
Clark's Coffee
A local coffee shop with a personal roasting story. Let the coffee be the first plan, with any second stop left optional. Use the café website for current opening times and the menu.
PDX Coffee Club
A Portland coffee business with a café and beans to take home. Choose this for a short introduction that has room to become a longer conversation. Use the café website for current opening times and the menu.
Less swiping. More stories.
I've been on some great dates so far with genuine people who were clearly there for the same reason I was.
Such a great user experience!! The aesthetic alone is unmatched and it was very easy to navigate and I felt very comfortable using the app.
