Space Monkey Coffee

Space Monkey Coffee sits on the corner of SE 72nd and Foster, anchoring Foster-Powell since 2004. The shop pours organic, fair trade beans from Cellar Door Coffee Roasters across the river, and the pastries get baked in-house every morning with Bob's Red Mill flour. There is a gallery wall that rotates emerging local artists monthly, a kid's play area with a toy kitchen, and a small park across the street for whoever wants to sit outside with their cup. On weekday mornings you will see the same regulars working through laptops, parents stretching out toddler energy, and dog walkers cycling through after a loop down Foster. Order a Cellar Door drip if you want a quiet read of who Foster-Powell actually is. Order a baked good with a latte if you want the Saturday morning version of this neighborhood.
