Portland has been known internationally as one of the United States' most progressive and cultural cities, renowned for its world-class music and cuisine scenes.

1.Kiosko

Kiosko is the public coffee shop of Smalltime Roasters, the roasting company of Mexican immigrant Angel Medina and his partner Lucy Alvarez, which roasts through Aspect Coffee Collective's community roasting program. The company, which began as a sourcing program for Portland's AirBnB community, took off in a new direction following the 2016 presidential election, when Medina began selling his roasts in conjunction with a donation program for the United We Dream nonprofit organization, an advocacy organization for American immigrant youth. The increased business as a result of Medina's connection with the organization led to the creation of Kiosko's storefront, which serves up a unique menu of espresso beverages and classic Mexican beverages such as cafe de olla, infused with piloncillo and cinnamon, and ahogados crafted with ice cream from local company Ome Calli. A Spanish-language menu strives to spark a cultural conversation about the city's diversity, with English translations offered for readability.
