Whether you're looking to kickstart your day or enjoy a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, Sam's has you covered with a diverse menu that caters to every preference.
As you step inside, you're greeted by an energetic atmosphere filled with the friendly banter of baristas and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. The space feels alive, bustling with the confidence of healthcare professionals grabbing their last-minute caffeine fix before heading to their next duty. But don't let the busy environment deter you; the team is known for their swift service and genuine smiles, creating a welcoming and efficient environment for all. According to one satisfied customer, it's not just about coffee: "The staff know my name; they know all of the drinks I order – they are so very friendly." It's this personal touch that keeps people returning for more.
Indulge in a variety of carefully crafted drinks. Start your day with an Americano for just $3.50 or treat yourself to a delicious Mocha for $4.75. If you enjoy a spicy twist, the highly recommended Dirty Chai Latte has won the hearts of many regulars, including Carl Valentine, who swears it's the best around. For a refreshing option, try the Matcha Latte priced at $5.25, perfectly balanced and invigorating. And if you find yourself feeling adventurous, don’t forget to ask about their Macchiato variations – from traditional to caramel – that will surely awaken your senses.
While coffee is undoubtedly the star here, Sam's Cafe also offers a selection of light bites, including a favorite vegetarian breakfast burrito and delectable pastries, though the croissants have been noted to pale in comparison to nearby Summit Cafe. As one customer aptly put it, "Sam's Cafe is the best coffee on the OHSU campus," making it the perfect spot for a quick meeting or a leisurely coffee break amidst a busy day.
