Rimsky-Korsakoffee House: Haunted Vibes, Classical Music & Desserts

Step into the shadows of one of Portland's most legendary and mysterious establishments. Rimsky-Korsakoffee House, located in an unmarked 1902 Victorian home in the Buckman neighborhood, is a "casually threatening" dessert and coffee oasis that has captivated locals since 1980. With its dimly lit rooms, eclectic Russian-inspired decor, and an atmosphere that feels frozen in time, this venue offers an escape from the modern world—no Wi-Fi, no credit cards, just pure atmosphere.

Experience an evening unlike any other where live classical music sets the mood for conversation and indulgence. Famous for its decadent house-made desserts like the Rasputin's Vice and rich coffee blends, the house is also known for its playful secrets. Be prepared for tables that might slowly rotate or vibrate while you eat, and don't miss the legendary "under-the-sea" themed bathroom. It is a cash-only establishment that prides itself on keeping Portland weird.

Visit us any evening from 7:00 PM to midnight (and until 1:00 AM on weekends) for a hauntingly good time. Whether you are looking for a romantic date spot or a place to whisper secrets with friends, Rimsky-Korsakoffee House awaits. Remember to bring cash and a sense of adventure.
