Cafe West Linn

I visited this coffee shop once when it was Bullseye coffee and had heard it changed owners so I thought I’d give it a try again. Nice, quiet coffee shop with a decent sized selection of food. I got the loaded breakfast burrito and it was really good! My iced americano was also good! Plenty of seating (both couches and tables/​chairs) and an overall comfortable environment. I’ll definitely be back!

I had a business lunch there and it was perfect. I had the vegetable soup which often tastes like a can of stewed tomatoes with a few cans of other vegetables added in. The soup they served was DELICIOUS – perfect consistency (with a little bit of pasta) and perfectly seasoned.
I also loved the display of local West Linn kids’ artwork.

New owners took over the former Bullseye Coffee space earlier this year and have injected a little rock-​n-​roll vibe into this neighborhood coffee shop and meeting place.
While minor food items are served (bagels, scones, etc.), this is first and foremost a coffee shop, so I’m not sure the «café» name was the best choice. Although, who knows, they may expand their offerings in the future.
The coffee beans are from Caravan Coffee based in Newberg. The space is interesting because they still have a whole lot going on since it is also a mailbox location. I do like the current rotation of art for sale on the walls. What was amusing is that they only had one magazine available. A dozen copies of Rolling Stone from the past year. The music playing was also questionable. While I don’t want muzak, a little vetting of your playlist is probably wise in this most bucolic of ‘burbs.
Decent mix of seating and the interior is clean and orderly with some holiday cheer. I’m interested to see if the changes continue in this space.
