Our Story

A corner
worth coming
back to.

Bean & Bough has been on the same block of NE Alberta since 2014 — six counter seats, no WiFi, and the best pour-over in Portland.

Spacious coffee shop interior with illuminated counter, perfect for a cozy gathering.

2014

NE Alberta St, Portland

Where we started

Same block.
Same neighbors.
Same slow coffee.

Bean & Bough opened on NE Alberta Street in 2014 with a simple idea: a small room, a handful of counter seats, good beans, and enough quiet to think. No meeting tables. No conference-call backdrop. Just coffee, made carefully, for whoever walked in.

We source single-origin beans roasted across the river, and our house pastries come from the bakery two doors down. The neighborhood feeds us — it's only right that we give it back a good cup.

A six-seat counter, a dog-friendly patio, and a deliberate decision to skip the WiFi. Some things are worth protecting.

Independent. Always.

Our mission

"Coffee is an excuse to slow down. We make sure the cup is good enough to justify the pause."

We exist for the person who wants to start their morning right, the regular who knows their order without saying it, and the first-time visitor who leaves wondering why they waited this long to walk in.

What drives us

Four things we
don't compromise on.

Single-Origin Only

Every bean has a place and a story. We don't blend away its character — we brew to reveal it.

Neighborhood First

Our pastries come from two doors down. Our beans are roasted across the river. This block takes care of its own.

No WiFi. By Design.

We made a deliberate choice. Six seats. Present company. The corner is your real-life browser tab.

Made Slowly

Pour-over takes time. We think that's a feature, not a bug. Good things don't rush.

The people & the place

Behind the bar,
it's a craft.

Every person who works at Bean & Bough knows the farmers behind the beans they brew. That's not a brand line — it's how we make sure you taste the difference.

The space is small on purpose. Six counter seats means six real conversations. The patio fits a handful of tables and one very patient dog — usually yours.

  • Whole-bean retail — take the good stuff home
