Drip Drop Coffee

- Cool Vintage Vibes -



COFFEE & MENU - Espresso Drinks | Waffle Sandwiches

  • Standard offering of espresso drinks with a few seasonal variations to choose from

  • They had Oat or Almond milk to choose from for alternative milks

  • There is a small selection of pastries but the breakfast sandwiches on homemade belgian waffle buns seem to be the most popular food item on the menu

  • What we ordered: Americano with steamed almond milk & Whole Milk Latte

  • Both drinks were served in cute mugs which made for a fun start to the experience. The coffee was good but did not stand out among the great coffee’s we have had around town.

ATMOSPHERE & SERVICE - Up Beat | Artistic Vibe

  • A new addition to the Downtown coffee shop offerings - Drip Drop is a black & family owned business that started in Mar 2025.

  • The space is really unique, especially for Portland. The decor is a throwback to the mid-century modern aesthetic with several cool chairs and seating options nestled throughout the space. Think leather, penny tiles, cool lighting, and wood accents. The coffee bar is beautiful - curved wood with gold accents and a lovely bronzed penny tile counter make it a real show stopper.

  • There are pops of color throughout the space with original artwork hanging on the walls that is available for purchase.

  • They had quite a busy morning the day we visited. The tables were filled with people working and chatting which combined with the good playlist made for an up-beat coffee shop vibe.

  • The espresso drinks are served in white porcelain mugs on matching wavy saucers.

RATING & CONCLUSIONS - Cool Aesthetic, Okay Coffee | rating 3*

  • The coffee was good but not memorable to make a return trip just for the drinks (especially with it being slightly challenging to get to within downtown)

  • Beyond the coffee, the shop definitely delivers on a unique vintage aesthetic you don’t see elsewhere in the Portland coffee shop scene and we appreciated the local artwork and good music.
