Café: EP Atelier
Location: South 10th Street, just east of Portland. (The far east end of downtown.)
Coffee: Respectable, but not inspiring.
Etcetera: Man, this place is so fucking Ashland. Maybe not in a good way. You know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, considering that it's parked out in a sort of gap between Downtown, Midtown, and the West Bank, right across from a maybe 1/4-finished condo development, it feels very much like it's been plucked up, set down, and puttied into place where it doesn't necessarily belong. Kind of weird, is what I'm saying.
Still, if you're hungry for a little slice of southern Oregon / northern California, this is probably the place to look for it. I'm just not sure that's what I'm feeling today.
