Warm Edison bulbs glowing above the bar at NOIR

Coffee & Kitchen · SE Alder Street, Portland

Stay for the second cup.

Small-batch espresso, a kitchen that cooks from scratch, and corners made for long conversations.

Roasted on Tuesdays. Poured every day.

NOIR started as a six-seat espresso bar with one rule: nothing leaves the counter unless we’d drink it ourselves. We still roast every bean in small batches, every Tuesday, in the back room.

The kitchen keeps the same pace — bread proofed overnight, eggs from a farm down the valley, plates built to be lingered over. Bring a laptop in the morning, a friend in the evening.
