Our fantastic location is within walking distance to awesome spots to eat, drink and play.
Inside VIDA, we have amazing amenities like a podcast studio, snack station and workout studio, all at your disposal any time you want. But we understand that sometimes our Members want to venture out of the office, whether that’s for lunch, happy hour or a leisurely stroll. Luckily, the area around VIDA Coworking has a ton to offer! VIDA Coworking is located smack-dab in the middle of Portland, just 10 minutes to downtown. This means there are so many restaurants, stores, coffee shops, parks, entertainment options and bars within walking distance of us.
Here are some of our favorite spots right around VIDA.
Coffee Shops
Who doesn’t love an Instrammable cup of coffee with a beautiful steamed-milk design? Nova Coffee creates just that. Plus, the coffee shop has a delicious menu of food items from Shoofly Vegan Bakery and Bowery Bagels. You can’t go wrong.
A seven-minute walk can get you to Heart Coffee on Burnside, which offers an artisanal cup-o-joe from 8am to 3pm every day of the week. Its early hours make it easy to swing by before you head to VIDA each morning.
Motorcycles and coffee? It’s may sound like an odd combination, but See See Motor Coffee Co. will surprise you. Just a three-minute walk from VIDA, this quirky coffee house is the perfect stop for an afternoon java or an early morning breakfast sandwich.
