Super bomb coffee, I loved my pastry (poppy seed something I forgot the exact name but it was delish!!!!) The person who attended me was really good at directing me to the perfect cup, and had a great attitude. If that wasn’t enough, there is a super cool comic book store next door ! Thanks again guys! I’ll be back !

A charming coffee shop with great coffee and friendly service. The shop has a cozy and relaxed vibe, wild house plants (not impeccably shaped cacti) on racks, wooden counter and tables, beautiful espresso machine with a vintage look, and warm sun lights casting soft shadows on the wall. There is something nostalgic about it that I couldnt really explain. It feels great to grab a coffee and sit outside, taking in a moment of tranquility.

Love the coffee, always grab some when I’m in Portland. It’s unfortunate they don’t pack beans in a kilo or 5lb bag. The roasts here are consistently the same, that’s a good thing and shows the quality of the roaster. 6 stars for bigger bags!

Case Study is one of my favorite coffee shops in Portland. I really like how they always include a shot of selzer water along side the espresso. It really improves the entire experience. When you are there, look at their espresso machine. It looks space aged somehow. The coffee is fresh and the baristas really know what they are doing.

Nice and quaint, comfortable atmosphere, clean M&W restroom. Latte was yummy, golden milk was very good but my coffee was on the bitter side.

I usually go to the NE Alberta St location, but this one is just as charming. No prob getting an excellent Kalita even around 5 pm - thanks for not eliminating it, like lots of others along the West Coast! As usual, both natural & washed beans avaialable. Patisserie display is lovely!

Im so lucky to have this as my closest coffee shop. I just buy beans to do pourover coffee at home. And their beans are so good, at least for the lighter roasts. Great shop!

Their home made Nepalese style chai is excellent, spicy and rich. Great crew as well.

Outstanding. Among the finest Portland has to offer. A latte with boubon caramel is my go-to. The first sip made me an instant fan.

Love the coffee and perfectly steamed milk. Not to mention the baked good are ridiculous. If you dont want to be hooked, stay away!!! Baristas are always friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Def one of my fav PDX coffee shops!

Review №13

Tried the coffee today and was a bit disappointed in the espresso after seeing all the rave reviews. I like a fuller bodied espresso - it just tasted a bit watered down, similar to drip coffee. Cool place, friendly and competent barista but coffee - meh...

So glad I stopped by this place next to the Bakeshop. They have the best Hazelnut latte I’ve had. This will definitely be a regular stop for me when I grab my baked goods from the Bakeshop.

My husband and I have gone to several case study coffee locations around Portland. Theyre all good and this one is no exception. Friendly staff good coffee and a nice relaxing space.

Review №29

These guys have 4 shops around Portland but this one on Sandy is the freaking rock star of them all! Most likely due to the manager Marcus who has over 20 years of coffee experience with the finest roasters in town as well a bullet proof work ethic.

I love bringing my VW Bus Tours of Portland here. Their coffee is world class and as soon as you walk inside you are welcomed by its aroma

We feel welcomed in this space. The cappuccino is close to perfection each time. Were grateful to have this business in our neighborhood. Oh! Several-excellent-GF bakery options as well.

I love this coffee shop. Really good quality roasting where the baristas really takes their time for the perfect breve cappuccino. Kevin is my favorite but Allison and Marcus are also quite outstanding baristas. Would recommend to anyone who loves a reliable spot for delicious caffeine.

Review №33

Great top quality espresso drinks. Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. Espresso cortados are my favorite. Pour overs and cold brew are excellent as well. Great place to study or meet a friend, but the coffee is so good that space is often limited.

Great open space to sit with a group or by yourself. NE location very welcoming for a business meeting, either in-person or via video conferencing. Lots of windows for natural light with great coffee and yummy treats.

Loved the location and design. Was expecting a fabulous cup of coffee. Not!!!! My brewed of coffee wasn’t hot at all. My husband’s beautifully prepared latter with leaf design in foam the same. Come on Case Study, step up your game!!!!

Busy, bustling neighborhood treasure. Excellent, richly viewed coffee, and lot of alternatives for non-coffee drinkers. I had a delicious vegan blueberry coffee cake, and my friend enjoyed a small juice (not vegan). I highly recommend.

I had a bourbon caramel latte and it was awesome. It tasted like they really put care into their process. Also had a breakfast sandwich that, although smallish, was delectable!

Review №39

I like that they have vegan options. It was super crowded and loud though so not a great place to study unless you have noise cancelling headphones and dont mind people bumping your elbows. The coffee was sour, the muffin was good

Wish I’d been able to try their coffee. Needed to stop by to charge up my onewheel and bought a bottle of water while I did so. WiFi was decent and if seemed like a cool place to hangout and get some work done.

Review №41

The good: fiancé said the cold brew was good. very flavorful.The bad: I asked for a 16oz iced mocha. They gave me a 12oz. Okay, not a big deal. But it had the after taste of Parmesan cheese. Not sure if the milk had gone sour. The drink looked tasty but it sure wasn’t. When we asked about different coffees they offered before it didn’t seem like the kind of place to remake a drink if you didn’t like it so didn’t even bother going back. Just tossed out the drink.

Review №42

Long wait for simple drinks. Ordered tea and it tasted gross. Also they only have a small syrup selection of so called homemade syrups. Not worth it especially because they dont offer a sugar free option. Didnt even get a lid or straw for my iced tea I ordered to go. Ill stick with Dutch Bros or Starbucks.

Review №44

I come here to work almost every time Im in Portland. The coffee is good, the WiFi is decent, and there are enough seats. I do find that either the chairs are low or the tables are high. Thought yummy, they could use more snack options besides sugary gluten.

Great place to study, read, or hang out with friends. Quality beverages, clean and open space, plenty of seating, and parking isnt bad. Nice decor-- wood everything and minimalist white walls/counter area.I read that its a nice place to write-- and I can confirm this is true! I came here to write a paper and Im distracted at the moment (but hey, Im still WRITING, just a Yelp review at the moment). Tried the lavender cold brew with almond milk-- delicious! I think it is seasonal though. Ill be back to try an almond milk latte sometime.TABLES FOR GIANTS! Just kidding, theyre probably for more people with more normal height. Im short (51 and a half, yes the half counts) so the tables are too high and they hurt my shoulders. #shortpeopleproblems, but Im used to this so I cant complain.

Great coffee drinks and some typical pastries. Relaxed setting with wood tables and comfortable chairs plus seating by large windows facing Sandy boulevard. Many people spend time drinking coffee, reading or net surfing.

Case Study offers the one of the best experiences you can find in Portlands third-wave coffee scene. Delightful coffee, inspiring space (where you can almost always find a seat), and a staff that takes customer service seriously. Well worth a visit!

Review №57

Friendly and attentive staff, good customer service. The drink specials are unique and high quality, although a little spendy. They roast and sell their own beans by the pound, and they sell coffee making supplies, so you can make it right when you home!

Review №58

Jesus monkey balls, get the aged bourbon latte! I thought I didnt like lattes until I came here and tried it. Im used to lattes prepared like a quickly splashed together mix of milk and espresso; at Case Study on Sandy, I found the real thing. I will judge all lattes I try from now on based on this one. Their cascara soda was also pretty good. The place itself is really nice, too. All I can complain about is the prices looked about a dollar more than elsewhere.

My husband and I dropped in here on accident when we had a dinner obligation with his family at a place down the street. After falling asleep on the way, I woke up when we got to the restaurant and told my husband I needed a latte, stat! We wandering into Case Study Coffee, and loved it so much! Everything about this place is awesome...most importantly the coffee and the skill with which the drinks are made. I wish I lived on this side of Portland just so I could frequent Case Study!

Review №69

Great coffee, but $5 for an 8oz vanilla latte is a bit steep. Also, when I was there there were a few customers in a way slow moving line w/ four employees behind the counter. 1 was buzzing around doing nothing & looked like a manager, 2 was stamping their logo on cups with a rubber stamp, 3 was starring off into space apparently doing nothing, 4 was working the register and making coffee and the only employee actually working to help customers.

The soy latte tasted watery (never had a weaker cup of coffee), the veggie quiche was cold inside and tasted slightly burnt, and one of the two servers was quite a slow mover. For $13 before tip? I wont be back.

Chilled out eatside location is rootsy and definitely laid back and low key (translation: quiet & ounassuming) in contrast to the oft-crowded frenetic downtown location. The coffee and service is good, too.
