Description and history edit

 
Cup of coffee

Nossa Familia ("Our Family" in Portuguese) was founded by Augusto Carvalho Dias Carneiro.[5]

In 2017, the business confirmed plans to close the warehouse roasting facility and Espresso Bar in northwest Portland and open four cafes:[6]

  • Nossa Familia's Guatemala Cafe in southeast Portland
  • Nossa Familia's Brazil Cafe in southeast Portland
  • Nossa Familia's Cloudforest Espresso Bar in northwest Portland
  • Nossa Familia's CalEdison Espresso Bar in Los Angeles, California

In 2019, Nossa Familia became "the first Portland coffee shop to add a 25-cent extra charge to orders served in disposable to-go cups".[7] The company stopped operating for nearly two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening in January 2022.[8]

Reception edit

Seiji Nanbu included Nossa Familia in Eater Portland's 2020 overview of "Portland's go-to hot chocolates".[9] The website's Katrina Yentch included the company in a 2021 list of "14 Distinctive Portland Cafés That Roast Their Own Coffee".[10]
