PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Ovation Coffee & Tea is Oregon’s reigning brunch champ, according to Yelp’s list of the top-reviewed brunch spots in every U.S. state.

Over 800 Yelp users have reviewed Ovation Coffee & Tea, which has a perfect overall rating of 5 stars.

For Washington, Patrick’s Café and Bakery in Seattle was the top pick.

One customer who recently left a 5-star review for Ovation Coffee & Tea said, “Hands down my favorite place to go, staff all around are very kind and assertive. The owners are very hands-on and are also kind to all of their customers. Ovation Coffee is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.”

The menu features pastries, paninis, blended beverages, gluten-free options, and more. However, Yelp lists the most popular menu items as breakfast sandwiches and Moroccan Mint tea. 

Ovation’s owner Karter Elhabbassi believes the Moroccan menu items are a part of the coffee shop’s success.

“We have a Moroccan twist to the menu so we have Moroccan coffees with our secret family spice recipes and Moroccan teas that you literally can not get anywhere else!” Elhabbassi said. “But along with the amazing drinks and the quality and care we take for each drink, Morocco is also famous for its hospitality so every customer is treated like they are part of the family.”

Ovation Coffee & Tea is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. 

The main location is in the Pearl District on 941 NW Overton Street. There are other locations in Lake Oswego and near the South Waterfront.
