Cheap Eats 2009

The second location of the Albina Press, which opened in 2007, might be the greatest coffee space in Portland. The open bar area gives you a view of the baristas from almost every angle—face-to-face for friendly conversation, or swing around back to watch their careful attention to each drink. The 2,000-square-foot space is divided into pockets, each of which has a different feel: a comfortable, leather-couchy lounge area; a desky laptop scribble space; and a sleepy do-the-Sunday-crossword-and-watch-the-cars-pass window nook. Albina Press serves Stumptown coffee as well as any of Stumptown's own cafes, along with a great tea selection and excellent pastries.
