Pause Coffee Lab

Very clean place. Super cute! It has a nice loft area and plenty of seating downstairs as well. I had a breakfast sandwich that was honestly the best I've ever had. They used a real egg instead of a patty that just made it so good. And the gluten free bread was perfect! The place was popular but that did not make the service slow at all. And the barista was honest and knowledgeable about cross contamination with gluten, which was very appreciated. This is going to be a weekly spot for me.

The shop is clean and well lit. It’s attached to the church and is more suited for small groups as the tables mostly only seat two people. The drip coffee was a dark roast (similar to pikes place taste). I didn’t try a pastry but they are huge and look good in the case. My Caramel Latte was well balanced and enjoyable.

Came here with a group of girls and there was plenty of peace and space for a nice cup of coffee and conversations! I got the pumpkin spice latte and FINALLY a coffee drink that actually taste like pumpkin/autumn spices! The atmosphere is wonderful and barista was super sweet! Unfortunately if you’re coming Sunday afternoon, it is likely they’re out of food. Overall, very cute interior design and it’s very spacious!

I am obsessed with Pause Coffee Lab. This is my favorite coffee shop in the Portland area. They serve the best caramel latte I’ve ever had! Not to mention I crave their toasts, specifically The Fancy Pig with ricotta, prosciutto, arugula, and peach chili jam. I also thoroughly enjoy their seasonal drink specials. The shop has a lovely vibe that is perfect to work or study in. I highly recommend checking it out!!

As a person who has worked in the coffee industry for many years I’be become pretty picky with where I like to go in my free time. Came here before running some errands in the surrounding area and was so impressed by everything here. The shop is super cozy and pretty, the coffee was phenomenal (blackberry lavender latte) and the food was also amazing. Happy I stopped here and definitely aim to come back!
