About This Spot

Stepping into Cadejo Coffee is like finding a quiet companion in the heart of Portland’s Northwest District—a place where warmth, gentle light, and thoughtful design invite you to pause and settle in. The airy space, softened by light wood accents and lush greenery, hums with a calm that feels both intentional and effortless, encouraging visitors to linger whether alone with a book or gathered with friends around the community table.

There’s a relaxed rhythm to Cadejo that blends a sense of homecoming with a quiet energy. The floral mural draws your eye, hinting at the care woven into every detail of the café’s welcoming ambiance. It’s easy to imagine weekday mornings here marked by hushed conversations and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, while weekends bring a subtle buzz as locals gather to savor thoughtful brunch offerings crafted by rotating guest chefs.

The menu at Cadejo reflects that same spirit of gentle discovery. Beyond your standard espresso, you’ll find unique twists like the café de olla—the kind of warm, spiced coffee that carries stories and memories in each fragrant sip. The variety of lattes, from wildflower honey to a deeply nuanced molé mocha, invite you to explore familiar flavors through a new lens. And when paired with a flaky croissant or a richly flavored quesadilla, the café becomes more than a coffee stop—it becomes a moment of connection and comfort.

What truly sets Cadejo apart is its quietly vibrant sense of community. The owner’s welcoming presence and the diverse crowd—from early risers tucked away at cozy corners to groups sharing laughter at long tables—create a nuanced, human atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking a reflective moment of calm or a place where familiar flavors mingle with new experiences, Cadejo Coffee unfolds as a quietly cherished place to dwell in the everyday.

If you see the pig on the bicycle, stop immediately! We ordered the entire menu at Cuinos Cocina Itinerante and every single dish was a hit. The Bañadito (Mexican Dip Sandwich) with pork belly and smoky morita sauce was an absolute standout. The Chilaquiles with mole rojo and a perfectly poached egg were incredibly flavorful, and the Salsa Ceniza on the breakfast tacos adds a unique, sophisticated smokiness you don't find everywhere. Even the coffee is top-tier—the latte art was beautiful and the milk was steamed to perfection. High-quality ingredients, expert techniques, and a great vibe. It cost us about $88 to feed the whole group one of everything, and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend this coffee shop enough. I usually get the café de olla latte or drip coffee (it tastes like home, flavors I’ve missed so much since moving away from SoCal) and my husband gets the molé mocha (must try! Incredible blend of flavors that’s unlike any coffee I’ve tried). They have quite a few other flavor offerings which are all delicious and pretty unique to the area. Every time I’ve been, the owner is behind bar and absolutely killing it. I don’t think he can pull a bad shot!! The rest of the staff is always so friendly, eager to help and seem genuinely happy. It really sets a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Editing to add Ancestro review! If you were to have told me a few months ago I’d be having chilaquiles that were so good and beautifully presented I’d consider it finer dining I would not have believed you. Everything they make is a work of art and SO good. My toddlers can be picky, but never when I’ve brought home breakfast from here. This last time I went, I took them and my husband to dine in with me and they showed us such great kindness. They brought out an extra dish for them and the babies devoured it haha. It was so appreciated and I can’t wait until next week to see what’s on the menu. I wish I would have taken pictures before they were able to get to everything

Cadejo is such a gem of a spot! Jacob the owner is ALWAYS such a delight and just the sweetest human. I love how diverse the space is here, you can get a cozy table for two or bring a group of friends and have some cafe de olla lattes at the community table. I’ve been coming here regularly and have seen how well he takes care of everyone walking in. And the residency’s of brunch options on the weekend is pure . Currently hosting Cuinos in their space and their chilaquiles and carrot cake pancakes blew me away. They offered a special of pozole today and OMG. I’ve never been so satisfied with pozole in Portland until now. If you get a chance stop by for brunch on the weekends for Cuinos! Highly recommend finding them in IG so you can stay up to date with what they are making. Cause that pozole needs to have a permanent spot on their menu this winter. Lastly, as someone who has lived in Portland for 10 years I’ve seen this space transition into so many different businesses. It’s difficult for sure with the location, but Jacob the owner has really created a safe and warm environment for all his guests. I’ve seen him offer pastries and coffee to those in need and in the past if seen people yell and make a scene but Jacob treats everyone with respect and is just a business owner I want to keep supporting. So much love to Cadejo! Ok lastly, it’s the only place in Portland that IMO makes the BEST coffee soda! Yall…. It’s slightly sweet with café de olla syrup and cold brew topped with sparkling.

Cadejo Coffee is one of those rare places that feels both beautifully curated and deeply human. The interior is warm and inviting—light wood, live plants, and a gorgeous floral mural make the space feel airy and contemplative, the kind of café where you want to linger with a book or a good conversation. My wife and I stopped in early on a weekend morning and enjoyed a serene, quiet atmosphere, which later transformed into lively chatter as the morning picked up. Both moods suited the space perfectly. I ordered a latte that was smooth and balanced, while my wife tried a seasonal citrus-infused latte recommended by the owner—a unique, bright combination of flavors I kept wishing I had ordered myself. Later, we split a French toast that arrived plated like a work of art: grilled peaches, a sweet cream drizzle, and a texture unlike anything I’ve seen before. Even the fried eggs on the side were exceptional—perfectly cooked and memorable in their simplicity. What struck me most, though, was the genuine kindness of the owner. While we were ordering, a homeless gentleman wandered in. Instead of being brushed off (as sadly happens too often), the owner greeted him by name, offered him a coffee and pastry, and spoke with him warmly before returning to help us. It was a small but profound act of generosity that set the tone for the entire space—this isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a place where humanity and hospitality come first. If you’re in downtown Portland, especially near the parks, make time to stop here. Whether you come for the coffee, the food, or simply the atmosphere, you’ll leave feeling lighter.

Wow did I enjoy a fancy little breakfast and molé mocha at this shop. New pop up Cuinos Cosina does brunch service Fri-Sun and their menu was excellent. Get all the things!

Great experience learning about the delicious drinks! Got a spiced coffee soda, a pilonillo latte, and a goat cheese caramel pastry. All were delicious! Cute interior with good seating options.

This chill little coffee place is a gem in the Old Town Portland area. Plenty of seating, delicious coffee (Mole Mocha is :: chef's kiss::) and excellent service (met the owner!) Highly recommend. Just don't share your coffee with the cat.

absolutely adored this place! service, environment, coffee, and food (courtesy of cuinos cuisine) were all 10/10 our cappuccino and cortado were lovingly made with some beautiful art, and we shared a breakfast taco, carrot pancakes, and chilaquiles. all of which we’re still talking about can’t wait to go again!
