Thornton’s has the best locally roasted coffee. I love buying freshly roasted beans there. It’s a family-run business full of friendly and helpful people. I recommend them to everyone who appreciates good coffee.
Coffee is good but Im taking a star off because employees are selective about who has to wear a mask. If I walk up and see you maskless talking to another customer Im not wearing a mask. Please dont huff about it and put your mask on which makes me feel uncomfortable. Ive been vaccinated for months.EDIT: The issue I have is with employees selectively wearing masks. When I walked up both the employee and customer were not wearing a mask.
With the pandemic, Ive been trying to shop as local as possible. The coffee that these guys sell is so good! Ive been through every flavor just to try each; if you like a dark, even roast with a great body, the Concord is it! The peaberry is also beyond delightful. I come in about every two weeks to restock. As long as they are in business I will continue to buy their coffee!
Their coffees tend to have a lot of aroma and citrus flavors. Top shelf coffee to take home as well. A nice change from just nutty and dark coffee from other places.
OK, I have to give credit where credit is due. Im on a break from milk and milk alternatives right now, so I cant have my usual capps. But the ad caught my eye and I asked my coworker to do the coffee run here, bringing me a double espresso with a splash of hot water. Nothing worse than an americano with too much water. It came back with about an inch of water, and was immediately DELICIOUS from the first sip. Not even going to dilute it more, its perfect for what Im craving. Nice, fun, interesting coffee (a little bit fruity, but not overly so) and a major departure from what youll get at most places. Cant wait to try more drinks here when I can!
I get it. This is Portland and the burbs. Coffee shops are a dime a dozen. Thats true. But that doesnt mean theyre all good. You have to weed out the excess and focus on the excellent.This is the spot to drop in around downtown Beaverton. Theres no drive through, so you have to park and walk up, but its worth it. Its not in a busy area. Get yourself a car wash at Beaverton Car Wash and grab some good coffee.They sell muffins and cookies as well. Their house coffee is great. Judge a place by their house coffee, black. Not by the sugary drinks anyone can make taste good.Super friendly staff too!If youre around the area, make a stop.
Great coffee and fantastic customer service. Fun fact, if youre up for an interesting conversation, Sarah is a renowned bovine expert. From health, animal science, farming and agriculture, and other types of related work, Sarah is your go to gal.
Awesome coffee and easy to find in Beautiful Beaverton love it xoox
Fantastic family owned roaster. Love the walk up window for my morning coffee. Ditch your Starbucks habit and swing in. You wont regret it.
Super yummy chai, and EXCELLENT customer service. So glad we stopped here on a whim! We will be back :)
Amazing roaster! Been using their subscription service for a year and love trying all the different beans.
I like there coffee and really think $16 usd for a 12 oz bag is pretty steep.
The coffee here is very good, but its a step below Intelligentsia or Stumptown. The service is good, but the grinder is not adjusted correctly. If you want coffee ground for French press, it needs to be set for much coarser than the machines French press setting.
Thornton is roasting some of the best coffee you could ever taste in the West Coast!Ive tried coffee from around the world. This is perfectly balanced, rich flavor which has been precisely roasted to account for the brewing heat and its impact on the ending flavor of the coffee!They have whole bean coffee to go thats fresh, and several options that satisfy a varied palate. My bag was roasted only three days before pickup.The pastries they serve are fresh and some incorporate the coffee flavoring as well. The options they offer are hand picked and pair well with the menu.This place is definitely worth the stop and a gem thats quickly blossoming from its humble beginnings! I only wish they had a couple tables for stopping in with friends to indulge!
A nest little setup with a walkup window and not much else. Parking could be an issue on a busy day. Otherwise, the man that took my order was friendly and helpful. The Macchiato was good, and well pulled.I purchased a bag of coffee which they happily ground for me, to the coarseness I was looking for. It was fun to be able to see into the roasting operation on the side.No food that I noticed and prices are market value. Nothing flashy, but a good cup of coffee.
Seriously! This place MADE us coffee snobs! Our brother-in-law used to own a coffee shop and roasted his own beans. When he came into town, he sniffed this place out and schooled us on quality coffee! We were enlightened!! It’s all we drink and serve to our guests. We’ve been drinking Thornton’s Family Coffee for 2 years now and haven’t looked back. They’re artisans at their trade and family owned! We feel so blessed that we can purchase such high quality coffee our within our own home town. If you haven’t tried it...you’re missing out!
Cold brew was fantastic
They know what customer service is all about. They helped us out of a difficult situation in troubling times. Went above and beyond with grinding some beans for us. We bought a bag of their Roasters Choice and it made a delicious cup of truly fresh coffee. Pleasant staff were kind enough to make burr grinder recommendations. When I initially spoke to Kris on the phone he was extremely helpful and very accommodating. Thank you again! We intend on returning to support a great business in the near future. This first visit left a fantastic impression.
I got a Mocha last time here and it wasnt well made. Very bland
Try their roasters choice; its an amazing dark roast coffee! If you buy a bag theyll toss is a free coffee! Thank you for being in the Beaverton area!
AMAZING coffee! And such a sweet family that runs the business.
I always appreciate people who really cares about real coffee, not like those nasty drive-thru places.Thank you for making good coffee!
Great Coffee, Excellent Service Everyday of the Week.... Support your Local Business...
Visited this place with my daughter (Rose) & discovered some GREAT coffee! They just killed my Starbucks addiction.
Family owned walk-up Coffee bar which doubles as a roastery. Service with a smile and always good coffee. Try the Iced-vanilla latte.Great place for a socially distanced afternoon pick-me-up. Usually we lounge around in the parking lot outside or on the side catching up with friends and colleauges.
Beavertons best coffee roasters! This family has been in the coffee business for years and were lucky to have them in our community. You can purchase bags of whole beans or your favorite drink at the walk up cafe window. Friendly service and fantastic coffee! What more could you ask for?
There are so many choices for great coffee in Portland, and so many places that roast their own beans and make great drinks. The ones that really stick out to me, though, are the places that have all of these things and great customer service and personnel. Thornton is one of these places. They make great coffee, and have great beans, and they are always friendly. I will gladly drive out of my way to Thornton to support them. Highly recommended!
It was watered down and didnt know how to make coffee at all. Had to explain how to do it
High quality coffee, family business, friendly and conscientious about covid-19 safety precautions. Worth the out of the way trip on Sunday mornings.
Great coffee! Came in today for a soy latte and drip coffee -both were great. Chatted with a friendly barista and said hello to the people in the back. Neat place!
I decided to try this small local shop when I saw it on my way home. I was greeted by Sarah who was welcoming, informative and a fun person to chat with. I ordered a latte and was stunned by how incredible the coffee is!! I have finally found my favorite coffee place !! I also purchased 2 bags of coffee. One a blend with Ethiopian and one a smokey blend they use for their lattes! I will be back constantly!
Best roaster on the west side of Portland, or all of Portland for that matter.
Stopped by to get beans for use with espresso maker at home. Got a bag of the Concord. They also recommend the Peru, so got that as well. Both are tasty, but the Peru Monteverde is next level.
Always love to visit, awesome people and absolutely amazing coffee.
Super friendly and informative. You can tell they love coffee and everything about it. Love the beans we got!!!
Really good mochas.
Its nice to see a coffee place that cares about whats in your cup. Loved this place and the coffee is delicious
Great coffee and friendly service!The owner was helpful in explaining a little about the business and helping me pick a drink.
This place is the best and the Thortons are so fun! Always love coming here for my coffee experience
Great coffee! Very knowledgeable about coffee sourcing an roasting!
This is great coffee that is easily missed while driving down hall. They roast their own and it taste delicious. Lots of good choices on to go coffee
The coffee roasted here is some of the best in the city. Quality beans used by Thorntons always seems to produce a smooth texture and complex flavors that are never bitter or overly acidic.I strongly recommend the Sumatra
By far the best coffee I have had since I moved here. The baristas are amazing as well
I may say more later but at this point all I can say is these guys are freaking amazing Im sick and tired of burnt coffee and they offer mostly medium and light roast thank goodness for good coffee
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! I must have spent 30 minutes talking coffee with them without realizing it! Fantastic coffee, too. All made in the same building. Their blends have such a wonderful range of flavor, you might even mistake it for tea! Great local business, I’ll be back for sure!
Very amazing coffee. Local small business come support! They have excellent unquie espresso. Its a combo of different types of beans so the flavor pops! Love to taste my coffee when I drink a flavored drink and they got it right!
This is some of the best coffee Ive ever had. Their baristas know their stuff! Worth the visit for drip and milk drinks.Ive now completely switched to brewing their coffee at my home, and my office has now switched as well!The family is incredibly nice and professional. They are knowledge and love sharing their art and passion.
Great family owned coffee joint
There is a lot of good coffee in Portland, now there’s great coffee and it’s on the west side. The service is super friendly and knowledgeable. We grab a couple bags of beans every couple weeks that keeps our cups full and our addiction satisfied.
Quality latte I had but I was look at NG for espresso beans for home, and while they had them for the same latte I had, it was very fruity with slight bitter at the end. Still good but not the caramel I expect from espresso beans. They only have a walk up window for coffee and buying items. If you are coming here I was yolf your u can park in front of the loading bays out front.
Super nice, Paul and Rachel made the experience! Well recommend to any one wanting a personal coffee roastery. Its a added bonus that its roasted in house! Best coffee Ive ever drank! Please get Pacific vanilla hemp milk!!!! Only thing that would send it over the top for me!!! (: Very happy customer
Excellent coffee, great service and family owned!
Ive never been a big fan of coffee but maybe I just hadnt had coffee done right! I could see making a habit out of Thornton Family Coffee. It is the best coffee Ive ever tasted, hands down. Its smooth and flavorful without the bitterness and acidity I usually associate with coffee. They roast their beans and brew the coffee right there in the shop! Utmost care goes into quality and freshness, give these guys a try.
Generational, Experience and Passion are some of the words that come to mind with Thornton Family Coffee Roasters. A cup of fresh coffee with your bag of fresh roasted, never stale (older than 10days), beans! And their customer service is top notch! Its clean, its simple, its modern coffee with all the culture and quality from plant to cup! Exactly as the growers intended.
Im a frequent patron here and I absolutely love it; great coffee and everyone there is so friendly!
Wonderful fresh roasted beans and fantastic staff
Best coffee shop Ive found outside of Portland. Pleasant staff who care about the quality of their drinks. I came across this shop because I was getting my car washed next door and I popped over. Ive been back many times now and the coffee is always delicious.
This is my new favorite coffee place. My mocha was fantastic. I also brought some beans home and those made some delicious coffee as well.
Do you like espresso? Do you like lattes? I drink 1-2 every day and get only Thornton (SO GOOD)If so here is my current ranking of roasts for espresso:HondurasWinter BlendHeartbreaker BlendEthiopia natural gujiPeru MonteverdeGuatemala PalhuConcordSuper bad for espresso:Costa Rica Rosa >> Almost undrinkable in espresso, apparently these all natural beans are more of a drip roast thing?
Just stopped by this new coffee shop after my friend posted it to Facebook. They roast their own beans. I tried the cold brew and it was strong but delicious. You wont find this place if you arent looking for it as its down a side street near the new food cart pod.
The service attendant was very kind and willingly shared her favorite coffee tastes helping us select a bean. She also offered a tasting.
Great walk-up window coffee joint that in house roasts their own beans.
Delicious
Im not a coffee drinker myself so I cant speak personally, but theyve been catering our meetings for months now and everybody seems to love it. They give a great price and great service every time.
How does this coffee actually taste better after its cooled?! Amazing! It took all my will power not to drink the last half cup that I still had at 11:30pm. I got the one from Peru BTW...recommended!
Excited for this place to come to Beaverton! Awesome owners with so much coffee knowledge itll blow your mind!The drink prices may be slightly high compared to a few other artisan coffee shops around, but its understandable, especially since this is primarily a coffee wholesaler.Love this place! Thanks for opening in Beaverton!
Very friendly and knowledgeable folks; one of the owners spoke with us for a while about the types of coffees on offer, and brewed several for us to taste. I highly recommend stopping by for some interesting coffees, especially if you like lighter roasts.
Good coffee and friendly service!
Got my holiday gifts from them, amazing experience and will see them again and again. Loved it!
Best coffee in town, we have loved all their recomendations on what beans we should take home! We also love to go by and grab one for the road....definitely my fav coffee place.Also, check out their background, this family owned bussines knows their stuff :)
Paul, Chris and Rachel know coffee. I am there often. They know how to source and purchase green beans, roast them and brew them right, and they are happy to share their knowledge!
Seriously the best coffee in the area. Roasted on site, professional preparation want most of all, the friendliest of owners. Takeout window only.
No place to sit and enjoy an amazing cup of coffee from this place, but the coffee and service is outstanding. It’s really a to-go only window walk-up.
Im elated to have this roaster in my neighborhood. Its tucked away and initially tricky to find, but its worth the effort for the fabulous coffee and prompt and pleasant service.
Great premium coffee at a reasonable price. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Loved it
Great new coffee spot, amazing flavor profiles, and a very knowledgeable staff/owners.
Best beans in town. I buy on the regular.
Super nice family owned roaster!
Come here to learn about the Third Wave of coffee. Wonderful and engaging staff and coffee
Great coffee. Family run shop.
Great Coffee...
Favorite coffee shop in Beaverton! Rivals the Nossa Familia, and Stumptowns of the Portland area!
Excellent service at the window and the coffee is excellent and local!!
Best coffee I have EVER had!!!
Great coffee. I will go back.
