Nossa Familia Coffee

We have actually never been to the coffee shop, but we have been ordering coffee through their subscription service for years, and it is amazing! We served this coffee at our daughter's wedding!

Their coffee is truly outstanding, and their love for people and making this planet a better place is evident in how they treat you and how they treat their employees!

We ordered mocha fogo with an add shot. The barista said they pull double shots so it was a quad shot, and it did not disappoint! The slight heat from the chili with the rich texture of the mocha was so perfect. The beans they have here are phenomenal! I am a native Californian who likes strong coffee, and this place will be on my "must have" list when I am in Oregon! Nossa you do coffee right! (Insert heart emoji here)

Such a cute place the 2 baristas were so helpful to ordering and suggesting drinks I got the spicy one I forgot what it was called but it was delicious!!! Customer service A1 seating upstairs and outside. !

Cute little spot with a very welcoming and friendly staff. The guys were really nice and suggested some spots to check out since we aren't from around here.
I ordered the Bee Sting Latte and my girlfriend got the Mocha Fogo, both were really good. I've personally never had coffee with these flavors, definitely a place that stands out to me.

I have to give this store five stars based on the trifecta experience: coffee quality + adorable, but small store + friendly and extremely helpful baristas.

Coffee: I have been reading about the Nissan Familia coffee and the reviews have been great. If I remember correctly, I first learned about them because I was actually looking for a place to get great hot chocolate. The depth of reviews on their hot coco white homemade espresso chocolate whipped cream caught my eye, but I was lured in today because we were relatively close while running errands and I wanted to try a new coffee shop for a mid afternoon pick me up.

+ Service: We let the two woman know when we stopped in today that we had read reviews but this was our first time into the coffee shop. I asked if they could make a recommendation. They were extremely knowledgeable and took the time to ask questions to understand what flavor styles might be a good match for our taste buds. Talk about personalization and time to please the customer!

We started with two espressos to get a real taste of the flavor of the coffee. The woman recommended we take a sip, no cream, to get the robust fruit forward flavor.

I then followed up with a large Bee Sting Latte. WOW - at first I was taken back by the flavor; spicy! It had both cardamon and cayenne in it, but not sure the ratio and I believe there was one additional spice in it as well. It was a bit strong, but I found that the more I sipped on it, the more and more I enjoyed it. So you may ask ..... what is a Bee Sting Latte? A honey & spice latte, made with local GloryBee honey and their Fogo spice blend.

My husband purchased a drip - with more of a fruit forward blend. He added a bit of cream and sugar and really enjoyed it.

+ Ambiance: it's small, but there are a few seats at a counter by a roll up door. It was cold outside today, so the roll up door was closed, but it made for a nice seat and a great spot to watch what was going on outside. It was comfortable and cozy, nice array of plants and good use of space. They also incorporated art work as well as using their own coffee and merchandise in a creative decorative way.

Next time I am coming back for that hot coco and homemade whipped cream, which is what originally caught my attention as to why I wanted to stop by here. Their website describes their house-made espresso chocolate whipped cream as follows..."No description needed - it's all in the title! This stuff is chocolate, creamy, coff-yea gold! Made with decaf espresso for no extra buzz. Whipped cream is also available vegan."

Perfect blend of an Italian cafe vibes, American service, and serious dedication to the beans.

Rusty made our trip amazing, explaining all the offerings while juggling 3-4 orders at a time. Awesome to talk to people so dedicated to the craft of coffee and keeping this beautiful slice of the Pearl humming.

AMAZING AMAZING flavor.
Personal attention. Carefully crafted.
Rusty (10 years coffee barista) explaining to us the ins and outs of the beans and the flavors.
Chill vibe.
Attentive service.

Drinks were alright. Cute coffee shop, and probably convenient for nearby businesses to get a drink to go. SMALL (micro) area to seat for 1-2 people. We meandered upstairs and sat on a couch outside closed businesses. Wasn't the ambiance we were looking for.

Drinks:
- I got the iced matcha latte with oatmilk, the matcha was well balanced it wasn't too bitter or too sweet. It was just right as Goldilocks would say
- My partner got an iced lavender matcha latte with oatmilk, if you want something sweeter this is the one to get. It had a subtle floral aroma to it from the lavender. It was seriously good, highly recommend

Food: N/A

Ambience:
- The cubic structure with the plants is iconic
- The space is a little small. I think there's upstairs seating but I haven't seen it
- The decor and lighting is quite aesthetically pleasing, I can't quite explain what kind of vibes it gives off you kinda have to just go to know

Overall:
Please make the lavender matcha latte a permanent thing. I think it's only seasonal it was so good.

excellent coffee. limited seating. friendly & fast service. stopped in on coffee tour.
