Coffee's On - Gresham

I arrived at 8:30am to a swedish/farmhouse chic designed coffeehouse. I asked the barista what they specialized in and got a very friendly though generalized overview of lattes and a list of local organic flavored syrups. I ordered the avocado toast and vanilla latte with oatmeal milk (instead of the almond milk I usually order) at her suggestion. My impression is that she was too modest because I couldn't believe how creamy and delicious my latte was! It was a harmonious balance between the dark full bodied richness of the espresso and the light creamy milk with a hint of vanilla that didn't take center stage but instead blended into the melange of flavors in perfect balance. Then came my avocado toast, a generous layer of avocado topped a whole grain toast topped with chopped herbs and salted pumpkin seeds. Now, I think fresh herbs always heighten a dish what was surprised me was how the smoky, salty and rich seeds complimented and offered contrast to the rich creamy avocado. This was such an enjoyable start to my day. The care that went into my morning meal has inspired me to get to work on my music and I'm looking forward to trying everything on the menu. By the time I left at 10:30am the place was 3/4 full of happy chatter. There are bar stools, tables with hard chairs, a section of comfy leather chairs in front of a fireplace. I didn't see many outlets. So it's better suited for an enjoyable meeting or self indulgence than a work space (unless your bringing plenty of batteries).

Lovely environment, great coffee! They serve organic food, beer, wine and espresso. Core Coffee also has a fireplace, couches and actual mugs, which is less wasteful. Very impressed.

I love to come here to treat myself. I usually go for a spicy chai, classic. Or I go for a bubbly tea or an italian soda. Their scones are my favorite treat and their toasts and acai bowls are delicious as well. I really like what they have done with this space and all the artwork they sell from local artists! Super cool.

Great place for coffee and snacks. Thry have some yummy looking avocado toast and baked goods. Highly recommend.

Beat the heat with the best acai bowl and classic bubble tea at Core Coffee Gresham. Everything is new #downtothecore. So proud of @Dianne Faligowski! Way to go!!
