He said the business was the "best for snacking on vegan food and rocking out to old-school emo music" and described the Gateway location as an "environmentally conscious alternative to the many rinky-dink coffee kiosks that live in the dimly-lit corners of Portland’s final frontier of affordable housing ".[5] Jet Black ranked third in the Best Vegan Coffee Shop category of VegNews' annual restaurant awards in 2024.[11] The magazine's Tanya Flink included the business in a 2025 list of the seventeen best vegan coffee shops in the nation.
