    Cute modern space a few steps away from Gresham Transit Center. I love love love the little wooden booths they have. They make good coffee and have some light bites. I appreciate that they offer cold brew as well as pour overs. Coffee fans unite! That's also non coffee options like kombucha, chai and matcha. The breakfast sandwich (available anytime) was nice and filling. The staff was very friendly and talked about the space. We're not usually in Gresham so it was cool to get a bit of history on the building and that this place hopes to fill that same intentional community space for people in Gresham. They did forget that our order was to go, but prob got side tracked from our conversation. No biggie!

    Walking through the doors of Pause Coffee Lab is like walking into a whole different city. You forget you're in Gresham, Oregon and immediately feel like you're in a cozy coffee shop in a Lifetime movie. The vibe is hard to explain. It's chic and sophisticated with a mix of cozy and comfortable. You'll have to pop in and see what I mean. The staff is amazing. All three ladies were super friendly and gave me some recommendations on what I might like. This is an actual coffee shop, you aren't going to find frappes or enery drinks here. I landed on a dirty chai. Which is just a chai with espresso. It was absolutely perfect and the cold foam on top set it off. Also, they are locally owned. I don't think it gets much better than this.

    First time here and the ambience is perfect! It's nice and cozy. The service was great and fast. Both sandwiches were tasty. Personally I think the açaí bowl is way better than Jambas. Will definitely be coming back to try the other items on the menu.

    Open everyday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

    Coffee time :-) What a beautiful space to have coffee, relax, study, or visit with friends. Humam Talhami and I agree it's our favorite! There is plenty of very comfortable seating..... even a beautiful loft upstairs. Two large restrooms. The menu has a variety of healthy foods, breakfast sandwich choices, and my coffee has been delicious every time I've been here. I can't say enough about how friendly the employees are. Always attention to detail in every order. You'll always find a parking space either along the street. They also share a parking lot with the church, so it's great! Yelp Friends, let us know when you're in the area so we can meet up!

    Chocolate croissant and iced vanilla latte

    Great new coffee shop in Gresham!! The space is so lovely, every corner thoughtfully curated. It is a clean, intentionally designed space that leaves a peaceful feeling. Seems like a great place to spend time in solitude or catch up with a friend! I ordered the chocolate croissant and got it warmed, and it was delicious! Flaky and melty in the right ways. To drink, I got an iced vanilla latte, and it was stand-out satisfying: the right balance of sweet but flavorful taste of the roast. The coffee is sourced from Stoked Coffee Roasters in Hood River, which is fun 'cause that's where I live now! A great space that I will definitely return to!

    Pause has a beautiful, relaxing interior filled with plants. The toast had amazing presentation and flavor, as did the latte. The baristas were friendly and helpful! As someone who grew up in the Gresham area, I was so pleased with the way that Pause honored the former Skate World, which was such a cultural hub for the area. I'll definitely be coming back!

    BYOT with cream cheese, arugula, pickled onions, egg, and chili jam

    Shout out to Pause Coffee Lab!! The baristas there were AMAZING. I stopped by before work for a little self care and asked if they could make "pretty coffee" aka a design on top, something about it just feels really special to me. They were not super confident but said they'd do their best. Honestly even if it was just a scribble I told them it'd be fine, we'd just call it abstract . But they came through big time! I feel super honored and appreciated as a customer that they were even willing to try! Got some BYOT too and it also did not disappoint.

    Iced cold brew, ham, egg & cheddar muffin, ricotta, prosciutto, arugula and chili jam toast, dirty chai.

    We tried Pause Coffee while visiting family. It has a charming calm atmosphere, with upstair loft study to sit and read/work. Music is inviting. Ian was very friendly and helpful seeing it was our first time in. We had a cold brew, egg, ham and cheddar sandwich, ricotta, prosciutto, arugula and chili jam toast. The food was very fresh and delicious, cold brew and dirty chai were also very tasty. The have many pastry options as well that looked yummy and gluten free options too. I recommend giving them a try. Look like the owners have put their heart into this place. We'll definitely be back to try more new items.

    Stairs to the loft area. How cute!!

    Wow the staff is always so sweet- huge shout out to barista, Melanie! The coffee is great, I highly recommend the eggnog latte and the problem sandwich which I have shared a photo of. The cutest coffee shop in town.

    Bruschetta special

    I got the bruschetta special and blackberry foam cold brew with hazelnut syrup. Both were delicious. I will definitely be back.

    The fancy pig
    Joanne S.

    They opened in May of this year and it's great coffee shop addition in the Gresham area. It's connected to a Church. The coffee shop is really nice and modern with plenty of large windows to let in natural light. There is a small loft with additional seating. The employees were super nice and helpful. They recommended a few items and were helpful in explaining what they have since it was our first time here. Love the nice and bright coffee shop. I got the fancy pig toast and bf did a build your own toast. Plenty of pastries also!!

    See all

    Stopped by this Le Petit Cafe counter inside of Troutdale Station recently…read more Troutdale Station is a food cart mall with about twenty food carts, a huge parking lot, and a central brick and mortar building with counters for drinks and snacks. One of said counters is a mini Le Petit Cafe. I ordered a marionberry macaron, and, wow. It's a serious contender for a new favorite. The cookie was crisp, light, and a bit airy. The dust on the shell was sour, while the creme filling was sweet. This gave eating it a similar experience to eating a freshly picked blackberry. Certainly one of the most creative macarons I've ever tried. It was a whole experience. I guess it was my lucky day, because as I was ordering, the Barista asked me if I wanted a complimentary coffee drink that had been made by accident. I don't even remember what it was called, but it was amazing. I think it was some kind of vanilla latte. I came back on a second occasion and ordered a 12 ounce caramel latte with a pistachio macaron. I loved the latte, but this time, the macaron was bad. It was so stale that I considered asking for a different flavor. Overall I loved the coffee but found everything to be a little high priced based on the quality. I would still stop by here for a coffee in the future because Troutdale Station has free wifi for customers, and this is the best coffee spot there that I know of.

    Yummy cafe in troutsdale station! They have a good selection of bagels and sandwiches. We tried the…read moreprosciutto supreme, egg and cheese croissant, and breakfast bagel and enjoyed them all! The bagels were warmed with cheese and very good The drink selection wasn't huge but the iced caramel latte was good!
