Kimmie and Keith are two wonderful people. Of course the other employees are cool. They all make us feel like family.

This place is perfect! The atmosphere is great - very clean and well decorated. Everything is reasonably priced, the staff are friendly. One of my favorite places to sit and read or write.

Warm, cozy and lovely space. Friendly family owned and worth a stopFor some good drinks and a no frills yet chill space to relax. Love the Bear Hug Latte 👍🏻

Great coffeecozy atmospherekind/friendly staffI enjoy reading and meeting with friends here

Great coffee, given the ultimate test: Small cafes are still struggling to get Oatly, so I had a black americano and it was delicious, even without the creamer Im accustomed to. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich which I enjoyed. Dedicated espresso places often struggle to offer truly good food, but it wasnt an issue here.One more thing: Service was friendly, patient and helpful. ❤One more one more thing: Their coffee is sourced from a conscientious buyer who has direct contact with growers. While not *certified* organic, Ill attest that it is pesticide free.

Great little coffee shop! Super friendly staff, and a really good cold brew coffee. Lots of gluten free and vegan options for flavors and treats. Definitely will be back again.

So happy to finally have a coffee shop in my neighborhood! Great prices, nice people, bright and airy. Excellent place to sit with my computer and get some work done, or chill on a couch with a friend.

Loved the ambience as well as the hot chocolate..Glad its in my neighborhood!

Some of the coolest merchants Ive met in a long time.. they know what I want its always consistent

Love it here . Don’t live in the area anymore but they always make me feel welcome and comfortable, being in a space around hope and faith. Will definitely stop by soon

By far my favorite coffee shop!! Delicious coffee/tea, friendly staff, and simply a great place for studying. The owners truly care about the community, and treat every person with respect and kindness. Love this place!!!

Great place to hang out and meet up with friends.

This place has great tasting coffee and a good variety. They also have a good selection of sweet or savory snacks to choose from. Music is at a good volume, not too loud but still audible enough to add a positive atmosphere and not disturb readers/students or people who want to chat. Overall, a spacious and inviting place with the coffee and food to back it up.

This is one of the most underrated coffee houses in all of Portland. Their pour-over is excellent and my favorite way to spend a Saturday morning. The owners are lovely and the interior design has a cozy retro feel with a minimalist approach. Once you try it, you will be back!

Traditional coffee shop style that is fantastic for a date, catch up on work, or get out of the house. Fantastic atmosphere that puts Starbucks to shame.

Great coffee & comfortable low key location

Ok place. To much hope here not enough helping. Just Hope. He gives it his best spite his stress. All we left with is a little hope maybe. In this town youll only find I hope you or I wish you, nobody ever says, Ill help you. Im making shirts that say I can help you, get away from hoping.

Great community coffee shop in Lents!

Decent prices, nice large space, friendly patrons and staff.

Refuge cares makes coffee tasty and quite affordable. The two men running the counter were friendly and did a good job staying task-focused when it was busy.One concern is the laissez faire attitude of covid-19 protocol. Lack of wear your mask signs, packed without any open windows/ventilation inside, customers entering without a mask, even a woman behind the counter without a face covering.People need to find a coffee shop that aligns with their values, makes them feel welcome, and safe. Sadly, this one does not with me.

This place is awesome! Fantastic customer service and love the laid-back vibe, its the perfect stop for me and my family because they have something for all the kids.

One of my top five spots in portland oregon.

Our mochas were delicious, my son had an amazing secret menu soda, and the service was delightful!!

A real refuge. With the power out, this was a lovely warm place to go with amazing coffee, friendly staff, and great tunes. Thanks so much guys.

Friendly owner, great prices for a small business *not the $5-for-an-eight-ouce-ruse at all*, tasty drinks Perfect! Perfect location for people going to work via trimet 14 or on the max, parking is accessible as well.(he properly wore a face mask~ thank you for prioritizing your customers safety)

Good coffee and pastries in a comfy space. The Wifi is good and tables are spread out well.

Good coffee, good vibes and gluten free options! So happy you guys are in the Lents neighborhood

Amazing coffee! Their concept of like a tap-house for pour over coffee is so unbelievably unique, and they chose amazing brewers. Also, good food items and even gluten-free options. I love this shop and will definitely be back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE ARE SO AWESOME!! THEY ARE SUPER FRIENDLY AND ARE ALWAYS IN GREAT SPIRITS!! WHENEVER I WALK IN IM IMMEDIATELY GREETED WITH A SMILE!! THE SHOP IS ALWAYS CLEAN AND IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GO AND HAVE A GREAT DRINK WHILE RELAXING THEN THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE.. I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE A COFFEE SHOP LIKE THIS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE.... I LOVE YOUR SHOP AND I LOVE YOU!!! LOVE YOUR FOREVER CUSTOMER STEPHANIE T.

Lots of yummy treats to choose from. The coffee is great. Not bitter like some places. Loved the different seating options. A super comfy couch facing the window for some people watching, plenty of tables for work or study, cushy chairs for breakfast with friends. Very friendly folks behind the counter. Good spot to add to the neighborhood and they are open til 8! Even better.

After walking over to Refuge Coffee House, we were disappointed to find the employee (who later told me she was the owner) not wearing a mask. She told me she can’t wear a mask due to health issues, however she wasn’t wearing a face shield either. There was another customer whom she did not ask to wear a mask. It definitely makes one wonder what other health regulations she disregards. Even though the owner was nice we left without coffee, and a very disappointing first experience. I’m willing to give it a try again after the pandemic, since the owner is so cavalier about providing a healthy environment in her coffee shop at this time.

Awsome place! Great people, great service...coffee better than starbucks!

Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, I liked it, will back for sure.

Local coffee shop, really good for studying! You can also tell that they really care about their community also. Need to see more places like this.

Ive been here several times now and I really like the space, plus the food and coffee are really great. The owners are super nice and great to talk to. I also really appreciate that they donated coffee to the neighborhood friends of trees event in Lents. This place is a really great addition to the neighborhood. Check it out!

Awesome slow brew!

Great little corner coffee shop. Nice pourover coffees.

Really decent cup of coffee

A local coffee place can always win my heart with local displayed artists, great wifi, and amazing coffee. ^.^

Very friendly and helpful! They had matcha AND oat milk, my favorite combination!

Great coffee, cool coffee shop vibe! Just wish they had soy milk and whipped cream cheese for my bagels. Really glad to see a good coffee shop in the area!

Ive been here three times now and it may be my new favorite coffee place. The owners are a wonderful couple who work really hard and care very much about their customers and their community. Try their spiced mocha. It has a wonderful kick. Also, my favorite spot is the white comfy chair nearest the window. Beast forpeople watching.❤

Good as always never a bad experience here highly recommended

Gone here a few times for studying. Good prices, friendly service, and warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place.

Great brewed house coffee, cool retro vibe with big storefront windows and spacious interior. Nice background music that they rotate eras (big band, 60s, 70, etc.)of each day. This is a highly welcome addition to this side of town, east of 82nd.

BIG SHOUT OUT to Keith and Kimi @ Refuge!Keep up the great work! !Genuine smiles, peaceful- pleasant- retro atmosphere, superb coffee, snacks and more.My wife and I stopped by to say hello and see this place weve heard so much about.My iced mocha was as good as Ive ever had.We picked up sandwiches for our road trip and shared a few moments with Kimi.Great Job you guys *****

Great family run business.. Very friendly and great service.

The staff are so nice and they serve great coffee with a smile every single time!! Great job!!! Keep up the good work 😁

Friendly service, great coffee, yummy muffins! Coffee is great quality. You can feel that the owner put a lot of thought into what they serve.A great new addition to downtown Lentz.

5:06. Were closed, but come on anyway. What can I get you? Service with a smile, above and beyond.

I come into this coffee house every morning on my way to work, and its become a routine MUST for me. First of all, their coffee is truly amazing, fresh, bold. But more importantly the owners (Keith and Kimi) are incredibly friendly and fun to talk to. They immediately make you feel like family. I unfortunately havent had the time to sit down to work or study there yet but it clearly would be a perfect place to do so.

Great pour over coffee! Also had tea, other coffee drinks, and snacks. I love the old school phonograph.

Such a fun little spot with awesome and coffee and great service. This place (while sometimes hard to spot) is a truely hidden gem in the PDX coffee scene.This will absolutely be one of my new main haunts.

Coffee great! Employees super sweet!My mom and aunt and I meet there and we all love it!! ☕️ ❤️

Lots of outlets, clean tables and a good study space to go to for focus. Just be aware theres no soy milk, only almond or oat (as someone who usually takes soy in their lattes, I found that the oat was a delicious and comparable alternative).

The Refuge is my spot! Great coffee and great service!

So kind and great coffee!

Stop by for a meeting and decided to try a pastry or two not only were they delicious also a nice delicious cup of coffee along with some great music provided by a record player I understand they also have Wi-Fi I probably could have spent a couple hours there if I move like that

Absolutely wonderful place to stop by for a great cup of coffee, something to eat, or a cup of tea all while listening to a wonderful assortment of vinyl.The staff is very attentive and friendly and this place is in a great up and coming neighborhood.

Must have coffee!

Good hot chocolate

I only have good things to say about this cafe: the coffee is great, its a pleasant environment, and owners are super friendly!!!

Great vibes, great music, great coffee! Nice simple lunch or breakfast items for on the go as well.

Excellent service

Great place in the neighborhood to grab a coffee, spend time with people, read, and study. Super friendly staff.

Possibly the cutest coffee shop I have ever seen with really friendly service. Quality coffee as well. I’m personally very excited to have this added to the Lents neighborhood.

‪Wow, this is some great coffee and baked goods at the new Refuge Coffee shop in Lents! Just what I needed on this frosty #PDX morning!!!

They treat coffee with respect. Well made drinks no matter what you order.

The specialty is the pour-over, with chocolate or fruit forward dark roast, and vegan and gluten free items made locally are available. #LocalGuides #OnGoogleMaps #LetsGuide
