“What to buy now.” - Bon Appetit
“Think of it as a wine bar, but for coffee lovers.” - Food & Wine
“If you live in Portland and you haven’t been to Ristretto, you must go. There is nothing like drinking coffee that has been freshly-roasted, or taking home bags of beans still warm from roasting. Any coffee lovers vacationing in Portland should put Ristretto Roasters on their ‘Things To Do/See/Eat/Drink In Portland’ list.” - Slashfood
“Ristretto brings an artisan’s approach to this darkest of drinks. Come, if you want to sip your triple espresso within sight of the roasting machine. It’ll be like smoking a Havana in sight of the lady who rolled it, only less-cancer-more-Portland.” - The Portland Mercury
“Din Johnson speaks the language of wine lovers.” - The Oregonian
“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.” - The Portland Tribune
“Best Live Coffee Show” - Willamette Week
“Best espresso” - The Fearless Critic Portland Restaurant Guide
“Best coffee in the Northwest.” - 500 Things to Eat Before It’s Too Late (and the Very Best Places to Eat Them
“Just this morning I had perhaps the best single shot of espresso (right) I’ve had in a long time at the Ristretto Williams Av. location. A perfectly smooth, not-bitter-at-all short pull (I hate those places that think an espresso should be 3 or 4 ounces of weakness in a cup), with an adorably inspired shot glass of sparkling water to refresh your palate if need be.” - Eat. Drink. Think.
