This excellent coffee roaster is one of our favorites in Portland. It's technically in the Alberta district and is about 2 miles away, but if you make a trip to Alberta Street we highly recommend it! It's a coffee roaster that is originally from Melbourne, Australia, and they branched out in Portland. They actually roast their beans on N Williams Ave a few blocks from the guest house.
