Our Story
A journey of passion, community, and exceptional coffee experiences
About Seven Virtues
Founded in 2007 by a husband and wife team, Seven Virtues is a family-owned coffee roaster and café based in Portland, Oregon. With two neighborhood locations and a commitment to sourcing exceptional single-origin coffee, we take pride in offering a thoughtful and welcoming experience.
As hands-on owners, we are deeply involved in the daily operations and place great value on quality, integrity, and community. Our team is composed of kind, conscientious individuals who reflect our dedication to outstanding service.
We also feature a delicious assortment of gluten-free and vegan pastries, all baked in-house. Whether you're here for a meal, a snack, or a handcrafted beverage, we invite you to enjoy offerings that accommodate your dietary needs—without ever compromising on flavor.
Our Philosophy
At Seven Virtues, we believe in offering good coffee, good food, and friendly service—all in a space that feels welcoming and genuine. We try to bring a little extra positivity into the day by practicing values like gratitude, patience, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, humility, and honesty.
Our hope is that these small moments add up and help make someone's day just a bit better. We're committed to ethical sourcing practices and work directly with farms to ensure sustainable relationships that benefit everyone in the supply chain.
Coffee is more than just a beverage to us; it's a medium for connecting people and communities. Each cup we serve represents our dedication to quality and the relationships we've built over the years with growers, customers, and our Portland neighborhood.
