Upper Left Roasters is a clever Scandinavian-influenced coffee shop in Portland's Ladd's Addition neighborhood, opened to the public in August of 2015 by father-daughter duo Jim and Katherine Harris. The boutique cafe and roastery has converted a former dive bar space into an inviting, airy breakfast spot, serving up delicious small batches of floral-forward roasts of ethically-sourced single-origin coffees. A limited food menu focuses on creative toasts crafted from locally-sourced bread by Little T Baker, including avocado toasts and variants topped with Bee Local honey. Open-faced sandwiches are also served, along with clever specials such as Turkish-style eggs with herb and garlic yogurt. A second location of the shop is also offered downtown on SW Morrison.
