If you're ever in need of a quiet place to sit down and enjoy a nice up of coffee while in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District, try out Caffe Umbria.  It's a nice Italian cafe on NW 12th and Everett in the ground floor of on of the nicest condo towers in Portland, Oregon - The Casey.

Caffe Umbria offers all the coffees and italian sodas and granitas that you'd expect of an Italian cafe.  Also, you'll find some pretty tasty Italian pastries, sandwiches, and panini sandwiches, too.  It's always nice to have a place like this in the neighborhood.  On a busy day, I stop by to grab a coffee and a sandwich and take a few minutes to myself sitting outside.  it's fun to eat lunch and watch the activity of the neighborhood, too.  

This cafe is a friendly place. If you're a local, you'll run into friends and neighbors.  If you're new, the staff will greet you with a smile, and you'll feel at home right away.  It's your regular cup of joe, with an Italian twist!
