About the Red and Black
The Red and Black is dedicated to providing delicious, wholesome foods at the lowest prices possible. We use organic, local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible.
We strive to provide a community space that is safe and welcoming to all. We hope this space is used for local voices to bring awareness and education on the issues facing us today. We work to be an example of ethical, non-hierarchal business. The cafe is worker-run and worker-owned. Our space and our community are always growing and changing. We evolve based on the energy, enthusiasm and direction of our fellow workers and our neighborhood in accordance with our ideals.
The Red & Black Cafe is located on SE 12th avenue and SE Oak street in wonderful Portland, Oregon. We have been proudly displaying our colors as a community-minded worker’s collective since 2000 and we’re still going strong. We boast a delicious, ENTIRELY VEGAN seasonally-sensitive menu, fair trade organic coffee, and a changing selection of organic red wines and local microbrews. As of recently, we decided to become a closed IWW shop.
But wait, there’s more. We love good music and good films. If you’re a musician, artist, or group looking to do a lecture or film screening at the cafe, we would love to hear from you! Please contact us at the e-mail address above and let’s talk about i

Serves ‘em right!
I’m a cop in a medium sized city in Nevada. I try to stay away from Starbucks or any other upscale coffee joints. Not because I don’t like their coffee, I just don’t want people thinking I’m in there scoring free coffee. In patrol I stop by various Stop and Robs for my ghetto Starbucks, and I always insist on paying....the convenience store owners and managers are always happy to see a police uniform in their store, especially in some of the (ahem) more at-risk areas...
Well of course...socialism breed vegans...which in turn breeds criminals...of course they hate cops...they are scumbag liberals who don’t deserve to share our free land.
Good for you!
Did you get your screen name from the Don Rickles character in “Kelly’s Heros”? Just curious.
God Bless you, and thank you for what you do!
Be careful out there!

You lie.
Crooks of Portland, the Red and Black Cafe is a police-free zone. Feel free to visit anytime. Police are not welcome there. Your access will be unencumbered.
They are liberal vegans. They do not have weapons. They are nonviolent tofu eaters. Probably not even enough energy to fight back. If you’re lookign for a new hangout spot that the police will not hassle you at, the Red and Black Cafe is a great choice.
Police to Cafe Owner: If your burglar alarm goes off, we'll still show up whether you deserve it or not.
They have a comments section — this could be fun.
Nothing personal.
The Portland Police should compile a 'Do Not Respond' list and put the Red and Black Cafe at the top of it!
“What would Langley do if a military service member walked in wearing a military uniform?”
I will find out Monday and report back to you.
Ms Seigneur can forget about pursuing a career in journalism in Portland now. Unless The Oregonian keeps her on as a token conservative commentator.
She said she struck up a conversation with Crooker to show her support for police, who she said saved the life of a friend after he was shot by gang members.
When Langley asked Crooker to leave, she was startled.
"It was shocking," Seigneur said. "Everyone deserves to have a coffee, and he was served a coffee. It was humiliating."
She sounds like a liberal who was mugged.
>>drink some gas-station swill<<
Our Speedway gas stations in MI have the BEST coffee.
They change it often and you can get flavors to put in.
I’m with you, I’ll skip the hippy stuff.
