- About Ristretto
- “But isn’t another coffee place in Portland like bringing coal to Newcastle?” asked an editor at the Oregonian, to which a reasonable response might be, yes, and at how many of these places does the coffee indeed taste like charcoal?

Coffee Crazed Get a Roaster of their Own (Portland Tribune)
- In real estate, the word “cozy” often equates to teeny, tiny. In the case of Ristretto Roasters (3520 N.E. 42nd Ave., 503-284-6767) the term reverts back to its more positive dictionary meanings: “snug, comfortable and warm” and “marked by friendly intimacy.”
Don’t expect to walk in more than once without owner Din Johnson or his wife, Nancy Rommelmann, introducing themselves and from that day forward, greeting you by name.
Coffee neophytes can query Johnson as to exactly what drink they should try, while experienced caffeine addicts can swap talk about beans and blends. Drinks are served in simple yet handsome crockery. The pastry cabinet offers a small but elite selection, including Rommelmann’s homemade cookies and almond croissants.
Patrons with perfect timing will be able to snag the front window booth, where it is possible to enjoy a daily buzz with several friends.
Latecomers belly up to the bar and chat or move toward the back of the space for coffee and a glimpse of Johnso
