Cheap Eats 2009

While Extracto has been serving well-made coffee since 2005, the Concordia neighborhood cafe recently became Portland's latest small-batch roaster, roasting, preparing and selling under the appellation Cherry Coffee Roasters. After about six months of business, Cherry has transformed Extracto in small but noticeable ways: One of the happiest side benefits of house-roasting is being able to watch, and smell, the process unfold from start to finish—drop by on most weekdays to see the magic happen. With blends like "Gentleman Caller" and "Ladyfriend," it's hard not to fall in love.
