I recently reached out to James Helms, owner of Rocky Butte Coffee Roasters and Espresso Bar, to get an idea of what’s new with them and he responded with a lot of great updates. Here is what they are doing these days.

Grinds & Vines, a Black-Owned Coffee + Wine Bar, is Coming to East Portland

Back in October 2021 I caught wind of Grinds & Vines, a Black-owned coffee and wine bar, opening up in the Hazelwood/Parkrose Heights area in east Portland. The good folks from Rocky Butte Coffee Roasters were helping them out with a coffee tasting, and it sounded like a lot of fun. It’s going to be run by Donna and Leroy Barber (of Black Santa fame) at 10632 NE Halsey Street.

I’ve been watching this for a while now and wanted to share the news—Reeva, a “family-owned and operated food truck that will offer a variety of delicious coffee, breakfasts, lunch specials, and wood-fired pizzas, all with a touch of love and Latin-American inspired recipes.” They are open at 77th & Sandy, in the Blossom Landscape & Design parking lot, which also used to be home to a great Subaru mechanic (I miss them).

Some of the things you’ll find at Maeve

Earlier this year I wrote about Maeve, a coffee and wine bar in Sellwood with a projected April 2022 opening. Well, that target has been met and they are opening this month—a soft opening Friday, April 8 starting at 7am; opening day is Thursday, April 14 (also at 7am), with a grand opening party on Saturday, April 16 from 4-8pm.

A Second Location for Saint Simon Coffee Co.

While driving to dinner tonight (we had an excellent meal at Pocket Pub), I spied out of my peripheral vision the words “Saint Simon Coffee Co.” on a storefront along NE 15th Avenue. I pulled over, walked back to the building and was pretty excited by what I saw—but what I didn’t know is whether it was a new location or a second location (the current location is on NE Broadway). My hope was for the latter.
