Great coffee spot with a wide selection of drinks, tasty danishes, and a cozy atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Many people were working on their laptops, and I especially loved the little book nook where you can browse and buy used books.
Cathedral Coffee
Super cool vintage motorcycle themed coffee shop. There is a loft with extra seating too. I also really love the chai here too.
Two Stroke Coffee Co.
Bring your laundry and your laptop to this spot. Getting multiple things done at once. They also have some yummy squaritos. Open a little later than other coffee spots, 8pm.
Brave Neighbor Coffeehouse & Social
I love the feeling of being surrounded by books here. Great chill spot to work at with your laptop. They even host weekly writing workshops.
The Stacks Coffeehouse
Huge windows that bring in a ton of light. Amazing drinks. I love having conchas from here too.
La Perlita
Relaxed spot for working. The food is delicious, and the service is friendly and quick. Be sure to stop by early if you want the best pick of pastries and a spot.
Posies Bakery & Cafe
This bakery cafe is such a living room vibe. It's super zen place to be able to lock in and work. And of course all the drinks and food are amazing.
Madrona Hill Cafe
NW
From the cozy charm of NW 23rd to the city urban hum of the Pearl, this corner of Portland is where history meets modern inspiration.
If you're looking for a very vibey, intimate spot to work/study at, Coffee Time is it. I must admit, I cannot work here for too long because the darkness makes me sleepy. However, if you thrive or don't care about the lack of ambient lighting, this s...
Coffee Time
One of few spots in the area that is open super late, 10 pm! This is a cafe connected to a hostel. I love the windows of this place. Lots of natural light. The food and drink is awesome here too.
Hostel Cafe
This place gets crowded really quickly. You most likely will have to wait for a table or seat to open up. It's really popular because the drinks are amazing and the food is fantastic. Prince is a very aesthetic spot and because of all of its pros, it...
Prince Coffee
I like to work at this cafe sometimes because you're on NW 23rd. Barista is solid and consistent coffee. So you can grind out your work in the morning, and step out on to the street for many food options.
Barista
I love the loft seating area in this cafe. It's nice, light, and airy inside. They are one of the few cafes that have a solid food menu. One stop shop for WFH people.
Lei Brilla
If you work better in a warm and cozy space, Dragonfly is the spot. It feels like warm hug when you walk into this space. And it's nice that you can grab a beer or wine while you work too.
The Dragonfly Coffee House
Another good spot off 23rd. Lots of single tables to work from here. It's super cool that you get to work inside of a historic building like this.
Case Study Coffee Roasters
This is another one stop shop for remote working. There is lots of seating in this bright space. Harlow is a health-conscious food and drink spot.
Harlow
I love a Mcmenamins, they're all decorated in such a unique way. The food and drinks are great. If you have a laptop, ask to be near outlets like the booths near the windows. Other than that, there is plenty of seating everywhere.
McMenamins Blue Moon Tavern & Grill
They make their own chai here, and you smell from down the block. Very bright in this space. It does get pretty busy quick, so snag your spot and hunker down.
Sterling Coffee Roasters
Work at one of the coolest bookstores in the country? Say less. Guilder is inside Powell's amongst the maze of bookshelves. It is really lively, so not for people who are looking for a calm place to work at.
Guilder Coffee Company @ Powell's City of Books
Lovely quiet coffee shop that serves us some latin influenced drinks. I love that it's right off the park blocks to have some green space near you as you work.
Cadejo Coffee
Located in the Pearl district is that spot that serves up a great cup of tea or coffee. There is plenty of seating here and when you get hungry, plenty of restaurants to walk to.
Sisters Coffee Company in The Pearl District
Grab a matcha or a coffee. Get your work done. And when you get hungry get a banh mi.
Good Neighbor Ca Phe
One of the best bakeries in town. Space is a little tight. This spot gets super crowded due to tourists, but I love the hustle and bustle of this place while I work.
Ken's Artisan Bakery
NE
Another Case Study spot. This has a cool metal exterior. Has many seats to work, either stay on ground level or go up to the loft.
Case Study Coffee Roasters
A place with a robust food and drink menu. With nods to The Princess Bride movie, this is a great place to post up and work.
Guilder Coffee Company - Alameda Neighborhood
It's small and dark, a perfect place to write and catch up on work. The coffee is incredible, and the baked goods are to die for.
Bison Coffeehouse
This is something that many people won't think about. Yes, Lloyd Center doesn't have much in it, but it has a free wifi, food court, and lots of tables and chairs everywhere. I sometimes post up here to watch people ice skate and patronize the local ...
Lloyd Center
This coffee shop by day and bar by night is awesome. Bring your laptop in, get your work done, and when you're done grab a drink! I have seen people bring their dog, work for a few hours and dip too, which is good to know.
Dear Sandy
SW
Another cozy home cafe spot. Lot's of seating upstairs. Grab a coffee and a bagel sandwich to munch on.
Fehrenbacher Hof
You will be amongst the students of Lincoln High School who come to this spot to study as well. It is a nice energy to be around if you need to stay productive. And you can pick up a book too while you are there.
Bold Coffee & Books
Such a vibrant coffee shop to be at. Tons of outlets along the wall for people who bring laptops. I love the drip coffee here.
Never Coffee Lab
This wonderful gem is this cafe behind the Portland Art Museum. I love all the Japanese drinks and snacks that you can get while working here.
Behind The Museum Cafe
This place closes early at 2. So if you get there at 8, you can work for a bit here. I love the simplicity of this spot and its menu.
Based General Store
This is a very popular place in the heart of downtown to work at. So get here early if you want to be here to get your shit done.
Case Study Coffee Roasters
Another Mcmenamins I love to work at. Cozy, lively, warm. Good food and drinks at in the heart of the city.
McMenamins Hal's Café
SE
The seating room they have is a great place to work or hang out with friends. They have actual diner booths, like the padded ones to work in!
No Preference Coffee
A great space with great coffee and beer. Lots of seating upstairs.
Workers Tap & Cafe
Plenty of spots to work at. The decor of this place is bright and upbeat.
Roseline Coffee
This is a really popular spot for working. Lots of spots to work at and I love the tea they serve here.
Upper Left Roasters
This coffee shop was built for remote workers. They have good wifi, private room pods for calls and meetings.
Eastside Coffee
Love this super cozy spot. The owner roasts his own coffee and its so freaking good.
Oblique Coffee Roasters
They make a mean espresso and drip coffee. Plenty of tables to work at here. I love how low key this place is.
The Porch Coffee Space
This is an ASL/impaired hearing friendly cafe. They have a really cool software that converts your speech into text when you order. Come in, grab a seat, work, and maybe learn a little bit of ASL.
Woodstock Cafe
I love the greenery and warmth on this coffee shop. Their food menu is really great with all the different toasts.
Fairlane Coffee
This is located in the Taborspace building, which is a local community center in a renovated church. Amazing coffee and there is a great big room to hunker down and work.
Crema Coffee + Bakery
