Happyrock Coffee Roasting Co

roasters that take the sourcing side seriously tend to show up in quieter parts of the map, and portland ave in gladstone is exactly that kind of address. you're not stopping here because it showed up in a travel roundup. happyrock has built a local following the slow way, through consistency rather than noise, and that reputation doesn't travel far unless the coffee is actually holding up its end. gladstone sits just south of the portland city limits, close enough to draw from the broader specialty scene but with its own pace. if you're making the drive down from the city or already in the area, the morning window is worth planning around. a well-pulled espresso before the commute crowds arrive is the whole case for this place.
