Downtown Portland Coffee & Donut Tour
Description
Jumpstart your morning with a huge variety of coffee and donuts across 4-5 mouthwatering stops where each bite and sip was crafted right here in Portland. Along the way, immerse yourself in quirky history while exploring Downtown Portland. We like to think this the perfect way to discover Downtown Portland, see where locals get their coffee and donut fix, and have fun! Tour highlights: - Taste two single-origin coffees brewed by pour-over, side by side. - Portland has over 75 locally owned donut shops, and we’ll sample a selection of the best from our favorite. - Stand in Pioneer Courthouse Square and learn all about “Portland’s Living Room”. - At the coziest Portland hole-in-the-wall café, indulge in a traditional macchiato paired with a homemade French pastry. - Plus much more! Note: We do not visit Voodoo or Blue Star during this tour as they are on the common tourist track – instead we keep it local.

We LOVED learning about the history of coffee (and Portland's role in the evolution of it) from Evangel! We were super full and satisfied by the end of the tour, and we learned so much. Evangel was knowledgable, friendly, and open to questions.
Thank you, Rachel, for such wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the coffee history and tasting tour with Evangel. Your kind words motivate us to keep delivering enriching and satisfying experiences like yours!
10/10 Michelle was so knowledgeable and friendly. My sister was having her bachelorette party in town and loves coffee, and Michelle did an excellent job accommodating the whole bridal party. Also Lee, I’d you see this, Marissa wants your phone number!
Thank you, Kaylen! I'm so happy I could make the bachelorette party special. Wishing your sister an amazing wedding celebration! And Lee, get in touch with Marissa! ;) Take care!
Michelle was an energetic,enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Each location had its own special flavor 😊 and everything was well organized and delightful. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you, Laura! We're thrilled you had such an enjoyable time and that Michelle made your experience memorable. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re glad you appreciated the unique touches of each location!
Michelle was our guide and I had a great time!! My bestfriend and I, along with 3 others, did the downtown donut/coffee tour. We learned so much about the history of coffee/donuts in Portland, each of the locally owned shops, and history of Portland in general. I’d say the price was worth it! We went to 5 different places either coffee/donut/ or a place that had both. Just a heads up, it’s a lot of caffeine and sugar! Lol but you’ll leave the tour feeling satisfied and full.
Thank you, Katrina! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Michelle and had a great time exploring Portland’s coffee and donut scene. Your heads-up is spot on—it's a sweet adventure! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Michelle is the perfect guide for a walking tour. She balances looking out for you--she called to help guide us to the meetup location when we were in the wrong place, with informational stories, a background as a native Oregonian and abundant enthusiasm. Plus, the donuts and coffee are delicious.
Thank you for sharing this great review! We’re delighted to hear that Michelle was such a helpful guide, from navigating you to the meetup spot to sharing her local insights and enthusiasm. We’re so glad you enjoyed the donuts and coffee—can’t wait to welcome you back for more!
