Barista - Pearl District

Barista is the go-to place for serious coffee lovers. The Pearl District location is sleek, modern, and filled with natural light, thanks to its large windows. It has a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to grab a drink and people-watch. While it’s more of a boutique café, it’s still spacious enough to accommodate small groups.

The coffee here is exceptional, sourced from top roasters and brewed with precision. The Oregon Hazelnut Latte is a fan favorite, offering a smooth and nutty taste that’s not too sweet. Their Pour-over coffee is another must-try, especially if you appreciate the subtle flavors of different beans. For non-coffee drinkers, they have a great selection of teas, matcha, and even a few specialty non-caffeinated drinks. They don’t have an extensive food menu, but the house-made pastries and avocado toast are worth trying.

Service is professional and efficient, with knowledgeable baristas who are passionate about coffee. They’ll gladly help you pick the perfect drink. The cafe opens early, making it a perfect morning stop before catching a show at CoHo or 21ten Theatre. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso or looking to sit and savor a slow-brewed coffee, Barista delivers an exceptional coffee experience.
