K&F Coffee Roasters

if you're the kind of person who builds their morning around a single well-pulled shot, SE 14th avenue in portland's richmond district is a reasonable place to orient yourself. k&f coffee roasters sits at the practical end of that neighborhood, far enough from the more tourist-facing stretches of division street that the pace feels genuinely local. they roast their own beans, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter, more accountable path than most. for you, that probably matters. the espresso is the thing here, not an afterthought dressed up with syrups, and the fact that they control the roast means the flavor decisions are intentional rather than inherited from a distributor. start with the straight espresso before you consider anything else on the menu.
