Papaccino's

the cold brew here is the kind of thing worth planning your afternoon around. papaccino's sits on se woodstock boulevard in the woodstock neighborhood, a stretch of portland that still runs on independent businesses and hasn't fully turned over to the predictable stuff. you're not walking into anything oversized or overly loud. the focus is narrow in the best way: coffee done with genuine attention, not a sprawling menu padded out to cover every possible preference. locals keep coming back, and that kind of sustained loyalty on a block like woodstock means something. if you're in the area, the espresso-based drinks are worth your time, but don't sleep on whatever they're pulling as a straight black option that day. se woodstock in the late morning is a good time to find out.
