Albina Press
Close to Mississippi in North Portland
4637 N Albina Ave
Portland, OR 97214This coffee is far from campus but has excellent beverages. It may be a little short on table space and may be a little crowded for studying, but the environment is great for study breaks. -
Baan-Thai
University District in the Southwest
1924 SW BroadwayI find the noodle to be key with pad se ew and Baan-Thai’s achieves the proper “chewy but not too chewy” designation. -
Blossoming Lotus
Irvington in the Northeast

Chennai Masala
West of Portland in Hillsboro
2088 NW Stucki Ave.The spice level is enjoyable without being overbearing, and the spices linger rather than sear. The meals should be accompanied with Garlic Nan. -
Fat City Café
Multnomah Village in the Southwest
7820 SW Capitol Hwy.The bacon is crispy and amazing and drips grease on my dollar bill green vintage wash tee-shirt (GAP kids $5.99) but its skin tight and should dry fast. -

La Sirenita
Sellwood in the Southeast / Alberta in the Northeast

Stumptown Belmont and Stumptown Annex
Belmont in the Southeast
3356 SE Belmont St
Portland, OR 97214The coffee shop has a good selection of beverages, but the Annex may be a better study spot. The location is great if you are looking for food or other study break diversions. -
