I think Porter could be great - like 4, 5 star great. However- their service needs to improve. Came in with some questions about coffee and the guy behind the counter was just rude. Sorry if when you explain a Cortado as espresso and some foam, that I then ask what's the difference between that and a macchiato.
The latte was pricey for a 8oz coffee - with tip came out to be over 4 dollars. Mind you, I am not one to know the countries and the beans, I'm more of it like it or don't like it - and I mostly like coffee drinks type of person.
I've gotten their food in the past and has been happy but not thrilled about it. They used to have this kale/grits/egg/bacon thing and while DELICIOUS, was impossible to eat in the mason jar that they served it in (never mind also impossible to hold since it had to handle and the thing was very hot). It's no longer on the menu.
Porter is the place I always think - oh that'd be nice, what a treat! And after I go, I end up disappointed. Hoping it will get better over time.
