Coffee Description
This is an espresso blend that’ll work equally well as drip coffee: approachable, creamy, balanced. Central and Southern American coffees blend for an outstanding shot of espresso.
Blending is an art and a science: interpreting the positive qualities of each component, determining the ideal percentages of each, and roasting each separate bean to its ultimate potential. In Upper Left Roasters’ interpretation, the result is both approachable and complex.
Owner Katherine Harris says, “Our espresso blend is, first and foremost, balanced; sweet and chocolatey, rich and smooth. It’s unassuming and classic and that’s, really, what we love about it. Easy to drink and it shines oh so perfectly in milk.”

Upper Left Roasters
In the summer of 2015, Katherine Harris opened Upper Left Roasters in historic Ladd's Addition. As the daughter of Portland food and beverage veterans, Katherine was driven to create not just another cafe but a vibrant community hub. In collaboration with local makers and creatives our thoughtfully designed space came to life — serving a fresh, curated food menu paired with distinctive small-batch roasts. From the literal cornerstone of our neighborhood, our team aims to create an energetic and lively space not just within our SE Portland community but in the industry at large.
We take that same ethos of community-based experience to all the coffees we serve. From house blends to unique micro-lots, we aim to represent the authentic flavor, origin and journey in every roast. Our coffees and the people who create them—from seed to cup—make it all possible. We focus on putting people first and invite our partners & patrons to join us in doing the same - supporting and celebrating community through coffee.
