Affogato Reviews

Totally happened upon this little coffee-gelato shop in St. John's. Yum! Two brothers opened a quaint shop in up and coming St. John's. In fact, their coffee is from a family owned roaster in Eugene, where the owners grew up. Only bummer is they don't open until 7am. However, they stay open until 11pm. While there a group of young men came from Hillsboro because they believe it's the BEST affogato in all of greater Portland. Impressive! I'd already ordered mine when I heard this. Delicious! Homemade salted caramel along with decaf espresso. Yum! Several other gelato flavors to choose from including cookies and cream, raspberry and a few others. If you haven't been here, especially it you live in North Portland or attend University of Portland, check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Sooooooo delicious. You must go here for a homemade chai. I had mine iced with almond milk and I'm already looking forward to getting another. :)

We've made this our regular for coffee in St John's. The place is owned and run by two brothers and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Thankfully, it lacks two elements that mar many a Portland cafe: barista attitude and coffee snobbery. Just a friendly local cafe that sells great coffee. And they also sell home-made ice-cream that is well worth a try.

This little hole in the wall will make you think twice about going in but the people behind the counter make something truly fantastic. I was unsure of the gelato. Small freezer, 4 flavors and lots of coffee. I mean lots of coffee! Anyway, Salted Carmel was wonderful and it actually tasted like salted carmel unlike Alotto which fails in comparison to what you find at Affogato. The vegan Stracciattella was soooo good! The chocolate was flaky and melted in your mouth rather than being waxy or chalky. The use of coconut milk was a great combo. The Raspberry gelato was equally amazing. One downfall, there is so much coffee there that you can taste it in the gelato, not a bad thing but a refined palette can find it. On the topic of the coffee, $9/lb and they have Ethiopia Harrar. What?! I will most definitly go out of my way just to visit here many more times in the future. I love this place!

My sister and I stopped by Affogato on the recommendation from a tattoo artist down the street. I ordered an americano and my sister got an affogato with salted caramel ice cream. Both were delicious! Good service, great coffee, & tasty ice cream
