Duck in from the blustery mountain winds in this warm, firelit café in one of America's most popular ski towns. It's surrounded on all sides by majestic mountain views: perfect for an afternoon of getting through the grind.

Enjoy the lively ambience from this rustic, bayside coffeeshop, a staple for locals and visitors alike. 

Our final Portland recording session (for now) takes place in this industrial-aesthetic cafe in Portland's pictureesque Grant Park neighborhood.

Tucked near the lush, wooded Laurelhurst Park in east Portland, this café sports vibrant music and an erudite, professional clientele. Sink in to your cozy armchair and get some work done.

Riverside on Portland's east Willamette banks, this industrial neighborhood sports some quality coffeehouses, including this mellow, exposed-brick gem frequented by railyard staff.

We continue wending a caffeinated path through this coffee enclave's most iconic espresso shops. Step out of the city lights and into this bustling refuge in north Portland's famous Pearl, famous for amazing ambience and delectable cherry mochas.

Enjoy the musical, upbeat vibe of this café with a view, located in a high rise with a magnificent view of Portland's skyline. 

Let the last dregs of summer wash over you in this family-oriented, high-ceilinged java joint near Portland's Willamette riverfront.
