Marco’s Café and Espresso Bar

The first thing you’ll notice when you step into Marco’s is our iconic umbrella-covered ceiling. (No, we don’t have a leaky roof.) Aside from adding some quintessentially eclectic Portland flair, the umbrellas serve a practical purpose, as well. The Nelson Thomas Building is a historic treasure…with high, hard ceilings; it can get LOUD when the dining room is full. The umbrellas help—kind of like noise-dampening panels, only way more conversation-inducing.
