The Portland area is certainly well-known for its coffee culture, and if you're out here in Hillsboro, then you're probably a fan of at least one of our local coffee shops. From quaint, old-school coffee houses to modern cafes serving craft coffee drinks, you can certainly find everything in our city if you're looking for a nice cup of joe. Here are our top picks in Hillsboro, OR. more 1. Cappuccino Corner Cappuccino Corner, located right in downtown Hillsboro at 155 North 1st Avenue, continues to be a signature of the Main Street area and a popular spot for a cup of coffee. The place is small and unassuming, which adds to the intimate vibe and makes the delicious aroma of fresh coffee even more powerful as you walk in. Their most hype specialty is probably the Mexican mocha, made with fresh Mexican-style hot chocolate, but they've also got a great selection of other specialty mochas and frappes that we recommend trying. Or, if you're hungry, grab something off their small but great menu of lunch specials to go with your coffee. 2. Bella Sorelle You'll have to drive a few minutes out of downtown Hillsboro to get to Bella Sorelle over at 3385 NE 15th Avenue, but trust us it's worth the trip! Tucked right on the edge of some farmlands, this cafe brings a taste of Italian coffee culture to Portland, offering classic Italian specialties like cafe americano and breve, as Oregonian coffee favorites like the seasonal oatmeal cookie latte. But we recommend going for one of their espressos or espresso-based drinks, since as any coffee lover would tell you, the flavor is in the beans. And they sure use great stuff here! 3. Manaia Coffee Shop and Island Grill A newcomer to the Portland coffee scene, Manaia has taken our community by surprise and quickly become of the most popular coffee and lunch spots in town. With a taste of Pacific Island cuisine and coffee culture combined with the hip feel of a Northwestern cafe, the food, ambiance, and vibe at this cafe is simply excellent. We definitely recommend grabbing a mocha, perhaps try the java chip! To go with it, grab one of their signature island bowls for lunch, which come with rice, vegetables, and your choice of chicken or umu fish (a Pacific specialty). These are the best we have in Hillsboro, but if you're a fan of hip cafes and coffee culture, there's so much more you can find in the greater Portland area and beyond. But if you're going to make a longer trip like that, you're going to want to first have a comfy, fuel-efficient car for the journey, like the Buick Envista. So head over to Royal Moore Buick GMC and pick up yours today!
