Portland is brimming with local places to enjoy a cup of coffee, but these neighborhood spots are perfect to enjoy said coffee with the kids in tow.
Wonderwood Springs

This mythical, whimsical coffee shop with adjacent immersive art experience by Mike Bennett Art would be awesome just for the ambience, but they make fantastic coffee, too. We love the butter brew latte. 8811 N Lombard St See our tour on Instagram!
8811 N Lombard St.
The Stacks Coffeehouse

Aptly named, The Stacks Coffeehouse is lined with bookshelves, including a robust kids’ section. You can even borrow books, so no tears when it’s time to pack up! They also make many of their own syrups, including chocolate, maple cardamom, vanilla and (seasonally) pumpkin spice.
1831 N Killingsworth St.
Maplewood Coffee & Tea

Located between April Hill City Park and Southwest Community Center, Maplewood Coffee & Tea is a great place to grab a cup of coffee on your way to more fun. They have a free lending library on their patio where kids can borrow books or donate some to share. If your child orders a drink, it will be served in a special kid cup with whipped cream and sprinkles on top.
5206 SW Custer St.
Two Sisters Play Cafe

Sip your espresso or cappuccino while your littles have a ball in the indoor playroom. This Milwaukie cafe serves an award-winning Arabica blend, roasted locally and specially prepared for Two Sisters. They have a full menu for breakfast, and lunch, too!
11923 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Milwaukie.
Posies Bakery & Cafe

Located in the Kenton neighborhood, Posies Bakery & Cafe serves up delicious treats and Roseline coffee. Their kids’ menu items, served with chips or cucumber, include all the favorites: grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, and cinnamon-sugar toast. There is an indoor play space for preschoolers, and the shop is only a block from Kenton Park.
8208 N Denver Ave.
Space Monkey Coffee

With a name like Space Monkey, it has to be a winner, right? They serve Cellar Door Coffee, and your kids will definitely want to order the funky monkey sandwich — peanut butter and chocolate — while you sip your brew. There are toys for preschoolers in the back hallway, and Mt. Scott Park is just across the street.
5511 SE 72nd Ave.
The Daily Feast

The Daily Feast, a mom-owned diner, is a downtown oasis. You can order your coffee however you like it: they’ve got mochas, cappuccino, espresso, lattes and more. There’s a bookshelf of toys for kids to play with while they wait, which are cleaned after every use. Located across the street from the historic Central Library and six blocks from Powell’s Books, this is a perfect spot to grab a coffee before heading off with your little bibliophiles. The menu features kid-friendly home runs, like flavored hot cocoa and smoothies, or a Greek yogurt parfait that looks like dessert, but is chock full of nutritious food.
837 SW 11th Ave.
Slappy Cakes

Slappy Cakes is known for their DIY pancake bar, but did you know they also have stellar coffee? While your children are busy piling mounds of toppings on their pancakes, you can relax and sip your hot Stumptown brew, be it classic drip or something fancier, like a cappuccino or mocha. They also have a small section of books and toys for kids to play with while you wait for a table.
4246 SE Belmont St.
Papaccino’s Coffee House & Cereal Bar

This Woodstock neighborhood coffee house is a win for kiddos thanks to its cereal bar well stocked with their sugary favorites. And while the kids eat their weight in cereal, parents can enjoy their lattes and breakfast sammies in a comfy lounge chair or at one of the tables. Pro tip: There’s even a large table where you can play board games. Papaccino’s also supports local artists with rotating wall displays. 4411 SW Woodstock Blvd.
