The CCP
"Plants Must Grow to Succeed" was a favorite drawing of mine my college classmate Jason Dietz. It is possible that a seed had been planted subconsciously in early 2006 when the Plant took steps to open a second location in the historic Corbett Building in Portland's Johns Landing neighborhood. Corbett Avenue Coffee Plant, or CCP, occupies half of the former home of the first Natures grocery store, which we hoped would provide good karma. The other half of the building's ground floor is occupied by the famous Corbett Fish House, who are modestly starting a dietary revolution by serving fantastic gluten-free fish and chips, among other delicious items (chowders and soups, oyster shooters). Not coincidentally, my eldest daughter Greta had been diagnosed with celiac about a year prior, so CCP offers entirely gluten-free fare to complement our fantastic coffee and espresso.
Just as one's second child is entirely different from the first, CCP acts to balance our downtown location's energy with quiet confidence. It is a spot to enjoy a meeting with a friend or colleague, relish some fresh music, or savor a fine espresso. A little extra space allows us to hold coffee cuppings (see Events section for details) and private events.
We continue cuppings bi-weekly, so check our calendar on the home page for more information. Cuppings are free and open to anyone, so join us for an experience that is both delicious and educational.
