Regarding coffee: albina press is good but has been surpassed. Most of the original crew left to start their own shops. Red E on N Killingsworth is my favorite

Regarding coffee: albina press is good but has been surpassed. Most of the original crew left to start their own shops. Red E on N Killingsworth is my favorite. Barista, in the Pearl and also on NE Alberta, is similar and somewhat more famous. Both serve Coava a local roaster that sells single origin coffees, meaning the beans are of one type and come from one farm. Their stuff consistently wins awards in the coffee world.
