When entering "red e" cafe the first thing you may notice is the beautifully open, authentic space with gallery style lighting directed at the walls. Where many cafes are short on seating and claustrophobia may ensue during the busiest hours, the red e maintains the intimacy of a small hole in the wall coffee shop while simultaneously providing plenty of space and sectioning for whatever cafe atmosphere you enjoy most. Whether it be a street gazing "window bar" to people watch, a more standard table and chair combination, dimly lit Moroccan style seating, outdoor seating, a large "barn table" for a meeting, or even sitting right next to the Baristas to watch the art of coffee implemented there is something for all cafe goers alike.

Located in yet another upcoming neighborhood of North Portland resides a new gem for the specialty inclined coffee connoisseur. In a city where Stumptown Coffee Roasters dominates the overly saturated coffee market "red e" goes against the grain by serving award winning Chicago based roaster Intelligentsia coffee in addition to the outstanding exclusively single origin micro-roaster Coava Coffee Roasters.

Whether a visit is exclusively for a unique coffee experience, a knuckle down study session or a work related meeting place, "red e" is doing something new, different and deserving of becoming a staple of the Pacific NW coffee community.
