Push x Pull

[5][6] The coffee company Push x Pull is based in Portland, Oregon, and has operated in Seattle's Central District.

[10] Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation has said of the Seattle location: "The design is minimal, the entire menu fits on a little black felt board, and the inside looks like your Amazonian friend's open one-bedroom: white walls, giant windows, and a ton of succulents.

There's wifi, and the upstairs balcony bar is the perfect spot to post up with a mug of chai and a slice of creme fraiche coffee cake distraction-free (unless you like staring at blank walls).

[1] In the Daily Hive's 2021 list of eight coffee shops in Portland "that'll have you ditching big chains immediately", Lakshmi Sadhu said Push x Pull has "one of the best" espressos in the city.

[13] Lindsay D. Mattison ranked Push x Pull eleventh in Tasting Table's 2023 list of Portland's fifteen best coffee shops.
