Bard Coffee Rating Scale


Bard provides espresso drinks, a series of custom-made single origin drip coffee at their 'brew bar' and for those of you in a rush they make volumes of their french press house coffee in advance. Boston Magazine that the cappuccino at Bard is "arguably the best this side of Milan."
Coffee Review has rated all of Bard's coffees at 90 or above including an outstanding 95 points for their Costa Rica Micro Lot "Pepe" Honey Processed. The reviewers described the Costa Rican as "Beautifully structured coffee: rich, tart, wine-toned acidity and syrupy mouthfeel. Ripe lemon, table grape and vanilla-toned nut are expressed with great depth and resonance in aroma and cup. Balanced finish."
Bard hosts monthly latte art throwdowns among baristas in the Portland area. The event raises money for Coffee Kids and build community among the coffee community.
The wi-fi is free, the space is comfortable and the baristas are friendly and knowledgeable about their craft. My regular order is for a breve cappuccino.
Bard opened for business on April 6, 2009.
