The shop, on the record

Upper Left Roasters keeps its counter on SW Morrison St in Southwest Portland — one of 9 of the guide’s 64 Portland entries filed under the “SW” prefix. It made the index the only way anything does: an independent coffee shop, checked by hand, with no chain behind it.

The name is on two doors: this one, and a second at 1204 SE Clay St, across town in Southeast Portland. A second location is about the loudest endorsement an independent shop can earn.

What the record holds: a website on file. What it doesn’t: no phone on record and hours we haven’t verified yet. We print only what a person has confirmed — so if the trip is long, call before you cross town.

For company on the same side of the river: Case Study Coffee on SW 10th Ave and Case Study Coffee on SW Broadway — or walk the full Portland index, 64 entries deep.

Everything above is drawn from the verified record — nothing padded, nothing guessed.
