The 2830 is the address of this community-based property in the NE Kerns neighborhood of Portland. With a long history of faith-based ownership, this property was purchased in 2012 by Alongsiders PDX — a neighborhood faith community whose desire was to make the 2830 a community hub for NE Portland. After extensive remodeling efforts spanning several years, that vision is now a reality.
Today the 2830 is thriving. Each week, hundreds of people — neighbors and out-of-town visitors alike — walk through these doors to enjoy great coffee and good company, to receive food for the week ahead, to sit with a licensed therapist or spiritual director, to feel seen and encouraged, and to participate in celebrations and events. What took years of imagination, risk, and resources to build, the 2830 has become a welcome gift to this neighborhood and beyond.

WHO'S WHO AT THE 2830
Neighbours Table Coffee & Commons
Neighbours Table leases space at the 2830. Known for their great coffee and good company ethos, Neighbours Table has become something of a beloved secret in the Portland coffee scene. With generous space for groups, meetups, and focused work — plus a private room for meetings and a Tuesday/Thursday program called Recess for children 6 and under with their parents — it makes sense that Neighbours Table is the front-facing presence of the 2830.
