Portland Oregon coffee houses are almost as plentiful as residential homes throughout the city. Well, that may be a bit of a stretch, but they are all over! ;)
It's been reported that Portland residents drink more gourmet coffee than anyone else in the nation, including Seattle, which is home to the very first Starbucks. That's impressive, if not a little scary realizing how many caffeine zombies are walking the streets of the city at any given time! hehe.
It's rare not to see someone carrying a steaming hot drip, Mocha, Latte, Cappuccino, Double Shot, Frappe, Iced Coffee, and on and on and on, whether working or playing. A hand without a mug or cup is nearly like seeing someone walking around without their head.
Obviously, we take our coffee very seriously, with many shops offering ongoing coffee cupping events to anyone wanting to learn more about what they drink.
You're likely to find an Internet Cafe or coffee house in Portland Oregon whenever and wherever the need may hit you. As with the majority of America, you're going to see an abundance of Starbucks in malls, on street corners and book stores. Don't even get me started with Starbucks! ;)
But, we do boast our own little addiction joints such as Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The original Stumptown shop opened in 1999 over on SE 45th and Division and has now expanded out. They were awarded 2006 Roaster of the Year by Roast Magazine. The owner is very particular about the beans! Many Portland Oregon coffee shops serve Stumptown coffee as their brew of choice.
To me, Portland and coffee are buddies that just go great together. I find both very comforting and warming to my soul. Also, since Portland is a very business-oriented and productive city, a fresh cup of Joe without a speedy Wifi connection for your laptop is bordering on heresy. Here's a wonderful site to find all the Wifi hotspots in Portland.
Finding a comfortable and friendly Portland Oregon coffee shop is important to me, since I do a good majority of my affiliate marketing work from these "satellite offices" of mine. My must-haves are good lighting, larger, comfortable tables and chairs, music that is not too loud and preferably soothing, and a strong, free WiFi connection. When those pieces fall into place, I'm a very happy camper! ;)

Make sure that when you hit up some of these great places that you partake of more than just the Portland Oregon coffee. The baked goods, organic teas and food tends to be really good and the comfortable atmospheres are equally wonderful.
