Portland Coffee Co. in Nottingham

Coffee is excellent, loads of options for drinks and food plus plenty of vegan options. Good place for studying when the cafe is not busy, but can get very loud (and therefore not optimal for studying) when busy. Staff are always nice and the vegan offerings are always tasty, albeit a bit expensive for the (usually small) portion sizes.

A lovely student coffee shop. Very yummy food and nice coffee and other drinks! Nice environment to study in the morning or afternoon (away from the lunchtime rush) with plenty of charging sockets. I have been here many times over my years at uni and I've not had a bad experience yet! Truely a jem on campus.

This is the best cafe on campus and of any we have seen on our Uni visits. Delicious coffee and cakes, beautiful decor and a view from the top of the terrace facing South to the campus lake. Just gorgeous!

Great location and space to sit. We went on a very busy university open day so had to wait a little while for the drinks

Very pleasant with really nice atmosphere.

Nice looking cafe, lots of seating. Not a very good selection of food and food is pretty ordinary.

Just dropped by for iced latte (with oat milk, delicious!) and tried their 3 cheese on wholemeal toast as missed breakfast at home. Very satisfying and staff very cheerful and helpful. Nice , bright and airy with good choice of seating.

Very nice place. Would be nice if stays open after 17:00

Nice coffee, decent price, good selection cakes and great seating in and out

Fantastic and comfortable place for a coffee or lunch.

Superb coffee and food at reasonable price

Their drinks are really good, but weirdly enough most of the food items don’t have a price displayed, just the name so you don’t know what you’ll end up paying. The atmosphere is really nice tho.

Great coffee shop in the heart of the campus at Nottingham. Brownies were very good

Love this place, one of my favourites in Nottingham! Good environment to study but also to meet for a coffee. The drinks are awesome and the raspberry white chocolate brownie is amazing

Great coffee, great atmosphere ✌️

Good places to go. Traditional Cornish Pasty can be compared to that of Bakewell town. Great coffee too.

I had a great cappuccino at this cosy small coffee shop. The staff were very friendly.

it's a good and convinient cafe. really like the decor and seating. the drinks are good but they can definitely do better with food. not too many healthy and tasty options here to choose from. For drinks I'd recommend their cold coffees and teas over the hot ones. ✌️ cheers 🥂

Good matcha and smoothie! Staff were friendly!

I ordered a caramel macchiato, then I got a cup of expresso with no caramel no milk no anything in it. But the girl insist it is a cup of caramel macchiato. Is this cafe have some special definition on it? Will never go again.

Great service run by Uni of Notts students

Does not cater for people with allergies: no gluten free, dairy free options. Ice tea is made from setup too- not good for those allergic to sugar However cost atmosphere and dog friendly

Nice selection of food. Very studenty. Good place to study

Slow service every time and lukewarm coffee on last visit.

Great atmosphere with beautiful seating, lighting and lovely vegan options. Knocked off one star because some of my favourites (plain vegan croissant, sweet potato and vegan feta pasty) and a select few items have quite a high price tag for what they are. I love going though and will keep going to!

Popped in for a coffee only around 11ish on a Wednesday. Ended up having a "festive vegan sausage and cranberry ciabata" as well. Lots of quirky seating space, most have their power points as well. Food is freshly prepared with lots of vegan options (not that I am vegan but I don't think you have to be vegan to eat vegan food and I do). Coffee is great, crafted with care. The place will get busy during uni times around lunchtime. And outside uni time it will operate on shorter hours. In the summer - in other words one July morning between 11am and 1142 and then an early afternoon in August on a Wednesday - you can sit outside as well and gaze at the boating lake and the park forelornly.

Excellent atmosphere, food and drink

Lugar agradable con buenos productos.

Environment: dynamic and friendly, sometimes too noisy for study/ conversation Coffee: good quality- using 200° beans Food: range of sweet and savory, very good quality and acceptable prices Staff: skilled at their job, and always smiling.

Food is delicious, coffee is okay. Staff is very noisy lots of banging and shouting though lovely people. For reference it was very quiet so no need to shout orders across the room

Portland Coffee is Okay, but it's overpriced for what you get. The actual quality of the coffee is worse than Starbucks.

Nice student cafe. However tends to be quite busy during the week with there being little room allocated to collection of drinks and food, making it quite a hassle to wait

Food nice, (toasties) drinks ok (cappuccino and melon tea) although tea was more like cordial and water rather than an iced tea. Still nice though. Sitting outside in sun made the day

Good coffee and a nice outside area to sit in.

Nice layout, nice location, OK coffee, nice snacks.

Nice staff and atmosphere. Good covid precautions. Somewhat overpriced

Popped in here with my (student) daughter. Similar prices to any coffee shops. Brownie lush tasting and so rich it was like a meal in itself. Good job I wasn't counting the calories!! Good friendly service.

Lovely cafe in the student union building. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Stylish ambience and good beverages. Ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Reccomend to try it during non peak hours due to long queue.

Very good seating pkace. Good coffee

Quick service however the coffee is terrible. Do not recommend any of their "on ice" menu items

The Portland Coffee Co, is a pleasant place to relax, but the service is so slow you can fell your life draining away, the staff are pleasant, the drinks all good, the snack range nice especially the choc cake, but so slow.

Very nice terrace and stylish café, good coffee but very long queues

Decent coffee and food, service is so slow. 15mins queueing to serve 4 people, often only one person serving at a time.

The best university student union cafe I have ever been to!

Very good coffee and deserts and nice sitting options outside :)

Great options for vegans and people with allergies. Acceptable coffee.

A nice enough coffee shop based on the University of Nottingham campus in the Portland building. Prices are quite expensive £4 for a panini which is surprising considering students pay so much for tuition. The service was disappointingly slow considering the students are on their summer break. The food and coffee itself was fine.

Knowledgeable staff, quality coffee, good WiFi and multiple plug sockets. Winning.

A lovely cafe, but very very busy.

The best coffeehouse on the campus.

Loved it A really nice place and nice scenery

Wonderful toasted sandwiches and a good cuppa, would highly recommend.

Nice decor. Best for coffee /tea and cake

Amazing place, delicious coffee

Very nice modern place and relaxing atmosphere, they make good coffee, smoothies and snacks.

Lovely cafe and nice environment to chat with friends or catch up on some work. Drinks can be a little pricey but to be expected

Lovely coffee which I had been buying three times a week but I find myself lamenting the change in discount policy for reusable cups. Before they charged 20p more than the advertised price to use a disposable cup and 20p less for using a reusable cup when taking away- a fair policy which allows the business to profit from those damaging the environment and provides incentive to reduce waste. I decided to spend £10 on their reusable cup motivated by helping the environment but noting that I would have to buy 25 coffees before it actually made sense economically. To my despair I found out that using one's own reusable cup incurs the same cost as buying a coffee and sitting in, thus providing less incentive to buy a reusable cup as one only saves 20p as opposed to 40p overall per coffee. I was informed that it is 'unfair on the people who sit in' who pay 20p more (the advertised price). This means one now has to buy 50 coffees to make themselves economically better off than before. The policy is preposterous as it does not take into account the fact taking away coffee frees up space for other customers and incurs less operation costs (less washes through dishwasher, electricity etc.). This move strikes me as money-grabbing and careless insofar as the environment is concerned. I will not buy my coffee here again until this policy is reversed and have encouraged by friends who buy coffee regularly here to do the same

Relatively quick service, very well made food and drinks. Very nice 'vibes' to the place, modern and quirky.

Try the dark chocolate mocha. Its delicious.

The coffee is lovely. But, the queue time is terrible. They need to adopt a more efficient production line behind the counter, similar to other more mainstream coffee outlets. As it stands the person who serves you also does your coffee etc, which works well in smaller less busy environments. They need to have set staff on taking orders and these orders need to be passed to dedicated staff for food and coffee production etc.

Really cool place, with nice staff, to have a coffee or cake while studying or unwinding. The only drawback is its opening hours, closes too soon in my opinion.

Nice enough place but the service can be painfully slow and the coffee is often lukewarm which is disappointing for the price. Gains an extra star for stocking Beeston Brownies

Best coffee on campus by a long way. Good cakes and always a couple of gluten free choices.

A nice quiet place to have a hot or cold drink with friends. A good range of different hot and cold drinks. It has a modern feeling, it's spacious and nicely lit. You can even pay with your university meal card which makes it easy!

Great coffee, reasonable prices

Really enjoy visiting this coffee spot on campus. It has a contemporary decor and many coffee and tea options. Calm chilled out place :)

worst coffee i have ever had. Ordered a large cappuccino which cost me £3 , it tasted like warm milk and was the size of my thumb. Definitely not worth the money

جلسات وديكورات المقهى جدا جميلة الطاقم خدمتهم سريعة وممتازة 👍🏻

Gives a good coffee shop feel within the Students' Union building.
