What customers say
I've been here for years. I've been to plenty of shops. Portola, consistently, offers the most exciting and interesting coffees and classic, well balanced espressos. There are shops that can pull a good espresso, but can't brew a good drip, and vice versa. Portola nails both, every single time.
Portola Coffee Roasters is my top espresso pick when I’m out near SoCo Shopping Center. Always on point. We had an Iced Latte, amazing Banana Cream Matcha Latte and Cappuccino. The atmosphere here is so relaxing. Sitting by the fountain is a huge plus. Staff told me that their slow drip cold brew is a fan favorite.
I would give this place 10 stars if I could....Best. Mocha. Ever. And I've had tons of mochas in my time. So smooth, no acidy after taste. This is the standard by which I judge all other mochas. Desserts looked amazing tho we didn't get any. Wouldn't want anything to distort the yummy goodness of my coffee.
Portola coffee roasters is my favorite speciality coffee shop in the OC Mix! While difficult to find, the baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, especially Ethan! There’s a nice cafe space always playing great music. The espresso is always dialed well and I love their pour overs.
