Caffee Umbria -- Madison Cafe

Really good mocha and café al pepe in a bright and beautiful space downtown. ☕️ The breakfast croissant sandwich was crispy, flaky and delicious. The ham egg and cheese English muffin was tasty but a bit soggy inside... Service was friendly but not super outgoing and we had to wipe our own table of crumbs... So... 5 star coffee/croissant and four star service and English muffin.🤷🏻‍♂️

I got oatmilk hot coco. It's not overly sweet, but it's still got a nice rich coco flavor. You can tell they use real chocolate and not the dry heaving nasty fake chocolate syrup stuff. The character of the environment. Is classy, elegant, and sharp. It feels like your in some nice luxurious getaway. For all the non-Portlander's you'll be happy to know this place isn't weird. It's quite normal, just a nice normal. They're even playing oldies music! The service is exceptional, as well. They know how to care for the spoken and unspoken needs of their customers 10 out of 10 recommend, based on this 1 experience.

Seriously the best place in Portland. Such warm and welcoming service, and the atmosphere is amazing. The windows face the East and the sun shines through in such a wonderful way. The seats are in great spots by the window, more central and outside. It's fun to watch people come and go. Ordered a honey latte to start and went for a second, honey with a dash of lavendar. Superb. I was delighted to find out they have a selection of gluten free pastries as well!! Thanks Umbria!

Solid place to have an italian-like breakfast with cappuccino and cornetto. I'd have liked more options for the croissants, they only had plain ones and a pan au chocolate (which they could have filled a little bit more to be honest). It is obviously overpriced for one that is used to this kind of breakfast in Italy, but 9 dollars is a standard price in the US so I wouldn't complain, especially because you're going to pay more if you go to the famous chain and it wouldn't be this good. 7.50/10 for me
