For slow afternoons, cozy corners, and the smell of old pages. These are the spots where time slows and your next favorite story finds you.

☕ Cozy Cafés & Tea Houses

The kinds of places that feel like a secret, even when they’re bustling.

The cozy spot is right on the waterfront! They have a full offering of coffee and breakfast and even have a little ice cream shop! Eat outside in Spring and Summer to enjoy people watching and the boats bobbing on the water.

Celebrating local makers and the creativity woven into this city’s bones. Thoughtful, beautiful things that could only be made here.

Support the Portland urban bees with these lip balms. This variety pack is $12 and includes Rose Garden (my personal favorite), Unscented, and Oregon Mint. It is a super moisturizing natural alternative to other balms.

One of my favorite things about Portland are the local distilleries and breweries! Aviation Gin is made in SE Portland and you can tour and taste! Very fun for a boozy afternoon!

🥐 Pastries and Bakeries

Because joy lives in flaky layers and sugar-dusted counters. These spots make indulgence feel like an art form.

My favorite donut shop in Portland! The dough has the perfect balance of fluffy fried goodness. Other shops might be more popular but coco’s makes the better donut. 🥰
