The smell of coffee is present in every corner
The largest city in Oregon , cradle of hipsterism, is also the same one that is granted the luxury of being the one that paved the way for the so-called third wave of coffee, the one that enhances quality and enjoyment from the moment of cultivation until it reaches the cup. It has even stolen the coffee prominence from Seattle.
**In the most recent headquarters of The Hoxton Hotels chain ** (after Williamsburg, Paris, Chicago...), strategically located in Chinatown and designed by the Fettle studio, there was no doubt that the smell of coffee he had to be present in every corner. And every hour.
This is how right next to the lobby, in its cafeteria, they begin to unfold the perfect aromas of Americanos, espressos, cappuccinos, lattes or cold brews , accompanied by temptations such as the “golden” burrito with bacon, eggs, beans and fresh cheese or the vegetable blondie (first cousin of the brownie) or gluten-free corn.
The Hoxton Portland Lobby Cafe is always open
Although the true joy comes with an authentic Mexican stamp thanks to the orange shells (sweet bread) and the milk rolls with ham, cheese and Oaxacan chipotle. And it's not coffee, but dipped in a Mexican hot chocolate they do their job well.
Right next door is The truth , a restaurant designed to extend breakfast time and plunge into the work with a knife and fork thanks to some fish chilaquiles or some roasted potatoes with chorizo and Manchego cheese. It will be for options... it will be for excuses to have a coffee in Portland.
