Futura Coffee Roasters Glisan St

Love their coffee, the food and the lovely people who work here. I always come here when I visit my son I live five hours away) When I walk in, I feel joy.

Used to be a different coffee shop, neither have been very appealing realistically but at least this one has an updated interior. Walked in and initially was confused as to where to start. No one says hi when you come in, hardly got a look up. One thing that is prevalent in Portland is that it’s customary to be stand-offish and unresponsive as counter service goes and this place lands the role there. The cashier looked at me and waited for me to gesture an order, offered nothing, pushed buttons and read a total back. Only person with any life in their existence was the long haired individual making bagels and breakfast foods on the sidebar. This person was smiling friendly and engaged. I waited for my coffee and when it was ready I walked up to the counter to grab it and put a lid on the cup. I turned to the barista making the coffees and very clearly and directly said “thank you” to them. Nothing. I’m not generally bothered by this so I just finished dressing my coffee to be on my way. Something compels me just before I leave to turn to the barista one more time and say “I appreciate you” and they don’t blink an eye they just continue doing what they’re doing. Cold blooded as we say where I’m from. Anyway, coffee was decent.

Amazing place for spectacular coffee. Had the house blend drip and sourdough croissant. Absolutely loved how beautifully vibrant the house blend was, and was delighted by the tartness of the sourdough croissant. Perfect place to enjoy Portland's amazing coffee scene.

Visited Portland and planned to try several coffee shops but I couldn’t stay away from Futura! So so so good! One of my favorite iced vanilla oat milk lattes I have had. The staff was wonderful as well!

Very warm welcome from the barista, who seemed to be having a lovely time bouncing around assembling orders. The pastries were amazing, and the coffee was delicious. Exactly the pick me up I needed today.
