We saved this tour for our last day in Portland-we wanted to be able to get the best of both worlds in terms of coffee and donuts, and this tour beyond met our expectations. First our tour guide Michelle was such a wonderful host-her energy and knowledge about the city and many of the places we went to you and even just walked by she was able to give us information about. You completely get your moneys worth in terms of coffee and donuts. My boyfriend and I left the tour stuffed and the fact that we got to try a variety of so many different things was well worth it. If you were looking to try donuts or coffee in Portland, just book the store and you will leave satisfied in every way.Sue_M

The tour was wonderful. We got to try some wonderful coffee on the way POUR over, lattes, and nitro cold brew definitely what i enjoyed most about the tour. And I love that every stop she gave the background of family who owned. It was perfect and a great way to see the city and eat food.
