Yordprom Coffee

So checking out the neighborhood for coffee I have a few mini-reviews which I will expand on later.

Yordprom Coffee - Great coffee. They use a pour over single cup brew system which is almost as good as french press and you know each cup is fresh. No burners! :-) The atmosphere is relaxing and I plan on spending alot of time there doing paperwork and using the wifi.

Bard Coffee - French press coffee with several unique single origins brews as day. Also good snacks. The staff seems very knowledgeable about coffee and passionate.

Arabica - Great espresso. It is the first place I tried in Portland. There is nice tiger striped crema, and the espresso is mellow, easy to drink.

Zarras - Features C.B.D. coffee which I am not a huge fan of, but its the only commercial shop I have seen that has a hand-pull espresso bar.

Coffee By Design - There are several of theses in Portland. The vibe is very hippyish and not my style.

Starbucks - Just like every other Starbucks on the planet.

The Maine Bean - I don't think these people really have a passion for coffee. I think its just a business for them, but I will give them a second try before writing my detailed review.

Javanet- used to be my favorite in highschool. RIP :-(
