Non-Starbucks coffee near the Convention Center
The worst thing, for me, when I travel is finding decent coffee in the morning. A lot of times, you're lucky just to find a Starbucks.
But when you come to Portland, and particularly to the Oregon Convention Center, you'll find we're a bit coffee-obsessed. There are two Starbucks in the Convention Center, and one just outside.
But what if you want to try something local? Or local-er? Here are a few suggestions of local favorite non-Starbucks coffee shops...
"Cafe J" is on the NE corner of 6th and Holladay, by the MAX tracks. I don't recall which coffee they serve, but it's a cute, local place with great panini!
Clay, I'm gonna have to check that out. Great suggestion!
