Grendel’s Coffee House

Grendel’s Coffee House is a hidden gem on East Burnside, just a short drive from Laurelhurst Park. This spot feels like stepping into someone’s cozy living room. With mismatched couches, bookshelves, and local art on the walls, the space gives off a warm and homely vibe that families and casual visitors really enjoy. It’s the kind of place where you can sit for hours with a good drink and good company.

When it comes to coffee, Grendel’s keeps it real. Their espresso drinks like lattes and mochas are rich, smooth, and made with care. They use quality beans, and you can taste the freshness in every cup. Many reviews mention the consistency in their drinks, whether you're grabbing a cappuccino or trying their chai latte. For those not into caffeine, there’s a solid menu of herbal teas, Italian sodas, smoothies, and even unique seasonal drinks.

If you’re hungry, they’ve got you covered. From toasted bagels and fresh pastries to hearty sandwiches, there’s something for everyone — including vegetarian-friendly choices. Kids and picky eaters can easily find something they’ll like.
