Wonderful cafe with amazing coffee and beautiful decor. Their outdoor seating is nice, especially the sheltered area around to the back. This place is family run, and they do a lot for the community! Cant recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely delicious! Great coffee, pastries and bagels. Fantastic staff and a lovely atmosphere. One of my favorite bakeries/ coffee shops in Portland

Tried an assortment of breakfast scones and pastries. Everything was delicious. Outdoor seating on the side and out back. Coffee excellent. Try the ricotta scone!

Such a great neighborhood spot! Since COVID, they have totally built out their side patio into a little oasis where you can post up and enjoy the day.The coffee is amazing. They have light, medium and dark options for their espresso, which I really appreciate. The pastries we got were served warm, which is a clear indicator of how much they care about their food. We also got the bagel special, which was perfectly assembled and served. Great experience that makes me want to come out here more often!

Quick service. Great coffee. They offer military discounts. The s’more latte was amazing!

Still one of our favorite places in PDX. Whenever we visit, we end up here.The hibiscus lemonade is perfect on a hot day and the mozzarella spinach biscuit is so tasty.

First time here. Tried their famous Green chile, Bacon, Pepper jack cheese biscuit with Regular coffee. It was served warm. Excellent combination. Not spicy to me and I love spicy foods.

Fast and friendly service :) I got the Sundance latte and a cinnamon roll, and loved that they had MMIW stickers you can purchase. Im glad I stopped by to check it out! Would love to sit outside in the back when its a drier day

Coffee is good. People at window are patient, knowledgeable and personable. The biscuits....Holy hell....so good. Perfect comfort food. Light, flavorful and definitely a new pandemic addiction. The walk up window is a great distancing option and the patio is still available to chill. Very clean, organized and you can buy ground organic coffee. Highly recommend!!!

The quiche and Coffee cake are amazing. All the food is good, but I really liked the quiche, coffee cake, and bacon cheddar scones. Fresh, warm, and they use fantastic ingredients. They are open as a walk up window right now. Now, the coffee. It smells so very good. It tastes as good as it smells. Am I going back? Heck yeah!

Grabbed an americano before a walk around the neighborhood. Easy to order from the side window, with a number of pastries and coffee drinks available. Polite staff but americano was pretty standard and a bit too expensive for it and their other drinks

It was a busy time to visit, but its tough when it takes 20 minutes to get three coffee beverages, one of them just drip. Somehow is was over $17 for two specialty lattes and a 12oz drip? Sage latte was too sweet and not as herbaceous as wed hoped.We might give it another try, but not if were in a hurry.

Get the Sundance Coffee! Unique flavour for coffee. 💯☕

Barista wasn’t that friendly and I accidentally gave her the wrong debit card to run through and instead of saying it was declined, she said “declined for insufficient funds.” Out loud. I was embarrassed . $4 for a cup of tea and someone makes me feel bad? Yeah no. This place isn’t as great as it seems. Love bison but there are better shops out there.

Great coffee, it just took me 30 minutes to get it. There were 4 groups in front of me, maybe 9-10 people in total. It took them 30 minutes from the time I arrived to get one latte. Too much good coffee in Portland to wait that long!

Large slice of banana walnut bread. Enough to share with another person.Good coffee !

Just stopped by for the first time and I have found my new go to spot for biscuits and coffee. I got the green chili pepper Jack biscuit, Maple Bacon Ricotta Cake and the Mexi Mocha. All were so delicious, the cake and biscuit were so big I could barely finish them but they were too good not to! They also make a true Mexi Mocha with a ton of kick to it, such a good morning pick me up. The service was great, they helped me pick out what type of Ricotta cake to get and what roast for my coffee, was super fast too even with a few people ahead of us. Will be back soon for sure❤️.

I dig this spot so much. They beer away from the usual flavors and offer a more earthy taste in palette (try the Sage and Mint Latte). Gofor the coffee and support Indigenous Women as well. you can’t lose. One of the best Coffee places in Portland Metro.

I got a plain everything bagel and it was the best bagel I’ve ever had in my life. It had fennel seeds and maybe pepper or a tiny bit of that spice flavor. I also got an almond milk sugar free vanilla coffee and it was amazing.I brought home two bags of coffee for my boyfriend too.

Really nice genuine people and some of the BEST coffee I’ve ever had. Will come out of my way in the future to come back here!:)

Not to be too dramatic, but this was the best breakfast we have had in a while. The chai latte, green Chile bacon pepper Jack biscuit, bacon quiche and smoked almond latte were amazing.

We look for great breakfast spots around Portland and are so glad to have found this hidden gem! We got a sweet chai, light roast coffee, veggie quiche, berry scone and the green chile pepper jack biscuit and were blown away by the quality and outstanding taste. Well definitely be back for more.

Great coffee! Great baked goods! Great service!

Delicious biscuits and coffee. I was impressed when I asked for an americano and was asked if I wanted light, medium or dark roast. They really cater to each person and make you feel cared for. Not in a gross capitalist way…more like seeing your Native cousin who happen to be a barista.They also support Native coffee roasters and Native artists (you can buy MMIWP stickers and other items to support the movement to end violence on Native people). I don’t live nearby but it’s the only coffeeshop in Portland I feel safe and seen. Tlazocamati relatives!

**2/17/19- updated - another customer picked up my mocha by mistake, blew on it and when the staff pointed out it wasn’t hers the employee expected that I would be ok drinking that same mocha. NO and then she was pt out that I had her make a new one. What was my fave coffeehouse went from 5 stars to 2. **Love it. A rich dark bean mocha, fresh sweet cream scone, unique theme and super friendly service make this place my new favorite coffee spot. I also had the raspberry muffin top, don’t judge me.

Three trips a week regular. I got my usual but was told it was five dollars more than usual. When I asked why the barista was very rude and demeaning over the whole situation and I simply dont want to go back.

I am so lucky this place is a short walk from my house. The coffee is always delicious and perfectly made, the home baked pastries are some of my favourite in portland and the staff are friendly and efficient. I couldn’t recommend this fantastic neighbourhood coffee house any more!

This coffee shop has stayed open magically through March 2020 to the present. Cute little window and walkway leads you to the side. After you have coffee here check out working class acupuncture ;)

Best kept secret! The best coffee around this part of town, and their biscuits were also delicious!

Great coffee, great ambiance, a little bit price but good

The sweet chai is delightful and still has some spice to it ! The decor is eclectic and the lights are quite vintage. We enjoyed their bison sugar cookies and the mellow atmosphere.

Fantastic coffee shop. Staff were great and had my non dairy choice of milk decor inside and out was great and they were planning a Santa and mrs. Claus event when I was there today. Highly recommend go check it out for yourself. Thank you

They have reallly good hot chocolate

We are in town from Denver, and found Bison Coffeehouse with a Google search. So glad we did!!! The homemade biscuits and scones were fantastic! Great flavor in the Green Chile biscuit, and my stepson loved the strawberry shortcake scone! The Sundance Latte -sage & mint- was a big hit! Thank you Bison for a great start to our day!

Got the red tea latte which was so unexpected and delicious

The owner is spiteful and most unwelcoming of those outside her target demographic. Hard pass.

Fantastic! Great coffee...loved my Flat White with Almond milk!

This is the best cafe in the PNW hands down. One day i hope to make a biscuit that compares to the biscuits at Bison. Legendary.

This is the single greatest place to get coffee in the while Portland area. I only get coffee here if I dont make iy myself. I will always support indigenous owned business

Had a nice experience. I got the caramel butter pecan latte, it was good trying something new!

Good coffee, frienfly staff. Relaxed. Nice patio in good weather. Open til 4pm, later than most nearby coffee shops.

Wonderful coffee and great patio! Happy to have this gem in the neighborhood.

Super nice staff, great coffee and their pastries/snacks are delightful.

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in the whole dang city! It’s native and women owned, super comfy and welcoming, the baked goods offered are deeeeelicious, and the coffee is always great!Things this place doesn’t have: a wide open cold industrial look, pretentious hipster boy barista, $15 lattes. And that’s just the way I like it!

Stopped here on the way home from dropping my partner off at the airport and got the bacon cheddar biscuit with some coffee—both of which were delicious! Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Slow service, didnt like the coffee, uninviting patio areas.

I just stumbled upon Bison and had the best lavender latte I’ve ever had. I’ve driven by many times and thought it was a bar at drivers glance. Glad I found out the truth because this place is amazing. Comfy sitting, lots of places to sit, and they’re open until 5:00! Beautiful Native American aesthetic reflects the owners and reminds you how important it is to keep small businesses alive. You can’t find this kind of comfort and authenticity in corporate coffee shops

Great place amazing latte with locally roasted coffee!

Came to check it out because its native owned business. Definitely worth it! they had a good variety of drinks. I had the cinnamon lavender latte.

Good coffee, yummy pastries, cozy atmosphere.

We were in the area and needed a mid-afternoon shot of caffeine. Coffee was good, and they really pay attention to keeping things and customers safe. We also got cookies, which were warmed up - perfect.

Delicious coffee

We ordered two baked items an ice coffee and Chai Tea-the drinks were delicious and perfect temperature. The baked treats were given to us warm. We will go back-so yummy!

Mellow vibe. Friendly staff. Good coffee. What else could you ask for?

Very intimate and warm. I didnt have anything to eat or drink but everyone looked like they enjoyed including my two friends. I will definitely stop in if Im on that side.

Best coffee in my neighborhood. Choose from light medium and dark roasts. Simple side window and outdoor seating for social distancing. Support your local businesses that are working to get through the pandemic...

The biscuits and coffee were fantastic!! Visiting from Denver and we happened upon Bison coffee. We will come back next time were in town for sure!!

Nice little place. Almost all the pastries are home made. Solid coffee drinks.

Im not a coffee drinker but they have amazing scones and pastries! I love the jalapeno cheddar one the most 😍 A very chill and quiet atmosphere with outdoor seating for 2(?).

Came into town for the weekend and was searching for a good cup of coffee. Found this gem. Delicious.

Wonderful neighborhood coffee shop. Delicious coffee with unique latte and mocha flavors. My favorite is the BlackBerry Almond latte.

Great little local coffee shop. Awesome little food items including the bacon cheddar biscuit. Great coffee!

A beautiful spot with lovely tables and seating and a cute patio. This spot is Native owned and a treasure to visit. I mostly stick to Chai Teas and Lattes and order both with one of their several dairy free milk options. They have a small shelf with some local handmade products like soap and coffee beans and have a yummy pastry case. Small and cozy, this place is bright and airy enough to feel at ease with a party of 5-7 if you grab the outside patio spots or the bigger table inside. Oh and the drinks are always beautiful :)

Seriously, in the top 3 best mochas Ive had

Pretty chill cafe with a great atmosphere and good small breakfast options.

Finally checked this place out and it was great. The coffee was so good and the place has a nice vibe, its nice to sit and enjoy your cup. Glad there is a place Native owned and glad to support.

I dont drink coffee at all. Not even a single bit, but I had a friend who wanted to get coffee and so we stopped. I totally rate and judge a coffee house by its hot chocolate and I can say the bison coffee house has some excellent Hot Chocolate. My lady says the Tea is good as well.

Great spot! The option of med-light-dark roast was nice, as was the staff. The Native American art and furniture are gorgeous, and Im happy to support a Native-owned spot. Their coffee is from a Native roaster in North Carolina as well, and delicious. Great, comfy vibe inside. Ill be back!

They have a muffin top that goes sooooooo good with a dirty late

Delicious everything. I love the iced spicy chai and my bf loves the mocha. Crossaints are amazing.

Very cozy. I had a lavender latte it use unique but good. The perfect amount of sweet. It had lots of foam if you love foam, like me, it was great. The in house cups are big you wont be disappointed.

I love this place so much. Amazing people work here. I came here to have a meeting and I made the mistake of grabbing the wrong coffee and didn’t realized it, the worker came up to me and told me that they made the mistake of making it wrong. Later on when the meeting was coming to the end and I realized that the other person wasn’t drinking the coffee that much and realized I was the person in the wrong. How amazing and humble for them to come up to me to offer to make a new one and didn’t blame me for grabbing the wrong coffee. I really appreciate people with kind hearts. Plus the coffee was really really good. The whole place has a history to it. Bison Coffeehouse is wonderfully amazing ❤️ thank you for being so kind and making wonderful coffee!

My relatives from Denmark joined me in my first visit here, and as we left they said to the owner that it was the best cafe latte they had ever had! I found it to be a very warm and comfortable place with some very neat Native American art and artifacts. Cant wait to go back.

The best coffee i had in the 5 days I was in Portland. Tried over 6 different places and their coffee and service was by far the best. The coffee was rich, flavorful, and delivered on the strength they advertised (the dark roast was actually dark)

Fantastic coffee, great snacks, friendly baristas, and an overall wonderful spot. This is our first time visiting and we will definitely be back. We accidentally ordered the wrong pastries and the staff were so gracious and let us correct our mistake with no extra cost. Love this place!

Im 90% sure the bison head on the wall isnt real, but the native-owned roaster is the real deal. Dark, medium, and light options for espresso are all great. Great place to be productive, recommend the spinach-mozzarella biscuits.

Good coffee, tasty pastries, super tasty indigenous roasted coffee beans for sale. Its an easy place to chill out and relax. And I love supporting a business owned local indigenous people.

This coffee shop is so cute. The Native decor and beautiful hand crafted chairs was a unique experience. The baked goods are GOOD! I had the best chocolate brownie here that I have ever had in my life. The coffee was really good too! The pretty women working was kind too! Its just a great place!

Bison is a coffee shop in a place where it needs to be. Youll feel relieved that you found the place. Being a native owned store has a huge impact on the community, people are proud to support an indigenous store owner. The interior reflects this and is well decorated.However, the furniture is a awkward, and some spots in the cafe youll have trouble navigating without bumping into spots. The coffee is priced on the more expensive side, and some of the baristas feel like youre talking to a robot than a human.Limited selection and not much for poorer people to afford.

Awesome coffee shop. Nice people. Offer light medium or dark bean option for all drink orders. I love that.

Amazing. Best cappuccino in PDX. I happened in to this place by chance now Im looking forward to stopping in on my way to work. Its out of my way but worth the trip. This place is treasure.

First time at Bison Coffee House today for a networking get together. Staff was very welcoming and forgiving with my lack of coffee knowledge. Very fun and Native American vibe going on added to my experience. I will for sure visit again and have no problem recommending it to my friends.

Very nice people and the best macchiato ever ☕!

I enjoy walking there in the mornings. Some drinks are kind of weak, though. The workers could be a little more kid friendly. I like the style, but could the menu be a little more creative? I like whats on the menu, but it gets boring after awhile. Im used to coffee shops that have more food items, like banana bread or coffee cake. I enjoy the fun theme and cozy feeling. Keep it up!!

House baked carrot cake was very good! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The native roasted coffee was great. The owner and her mother were extremely gracious.

Delicious macchiato in a house-turned-coffee shop.Great character to the space, with good natural light for studying and arting. Seating is ideal for meetings or a solo outing.This is a great place right on the main drag of the Cully neighbourhood. Bicycle parking, as well (thank you!)Really great coffee and the snacks looked delicious. I would certainly return and try a cookie or coffee cake.

Great cup of coffee and amazingly delicious drop biscuits. Love the decorations and the vibe. Im not sure about parking I just always park on the street. No need to worry about feeding the meter tho.

I love coming here, the atmosphere is great with warm lighting and huge tables + chairs. The pastries made in-house are delicious and they carry Bowery Bagels (yum!). Great place to meet up with people for work or school or just to read the paper with your coffee!

Excellent coffee with options for light, medium, or dark roast and a nice, small selection of sweet and savory pastries in a relaxing ambience. I love the big seats at the windows. Bison is a great place to do some work or read, and there are a couple tables big enough for groups if youre planning a meetup.

Love this place. Worth a stop if you’re visiting and worth a stop if you’re local and just looking to grab a decent coffee and a pastry. Great back story and a cool spot.

Service was on point. Kind greeting, friendly menu. Also place was clean and asthetically pleasing. Kept up to par, loved that it was owned by native/indigenous 🥰

This quaint little eatery specializes in breakfast/bruch cuisine. The service is personal and the price is very reasonable.Space is limited. So its not a place to bring the whole family. But if youre looking for a casual morning meal with a friend or two, the Bison is ideal.Its only drawback for some may be the challenge of getting there. Theres only street parking, in an already crowded residential neighborhood.I think the Bisons lack of parking is offset by the fact that a Trimet bus stops right outside the front door.Bring a friend, your apetite and the makings of a good conversation. Youll soon find that ditching the car for brunch at the Bison will be the best part of your morning.

I just love this locally owned coffeehouse. I always get greeted with a smile and the coffee is surpurb

Rich, flavorful coffee at reasonable prices. Genuine, warm and most hospitable atmosphere here.All in house made baked goods of great variety.Great place in which to spend time; energy level: relaxed, refreshing; highly, warmly recommended.

They dont ever burn the milk and its always the perfect temperature. They always ask if you want light medium or dark roast. Its the most precise coffee Ive ever had. Nobody can do better.

Great chai, sweet owner & a nice place to gather where all are welcome ❣️

Small, normal coffee house. No reason to come here unless youre into the Native American culture. Then youll definitely want to come here and talk to the owner to find out whats going on in that community.

I moved from Cully a month ago, and I miss Bison SO much! I stopped almost every day for a snack and coffee on my way to work. I found the staff friendly and the baked goods (baked in house) are delicious and they have Bowery Bagels. In fact, I am scheduling a staff meeting there just so I can go back! Theres nothing like Bison in my new hood :(

If you want to support a great business run by awesome women of colour this is the place to go! The pastries are delicious, the coffee cake pairs excellently with all of their espressos. The medium roast has great citrus notes without being too sharp, I definitely suggest it! I rate coffeeshops based on their cappuccino and this place has one of the best in Portland. The staff are really helpful and knowledgeable about everything on the menu, its a great place to take friend who want to be introduced to coffee.

Lovely atmosphere, large drink selection, fair prices and a friendly staff! I go here almost every weekend and now some of the staff know me which makes it more enjoyable. Great local coffee spot.
