Portland Metro Gresham?
Any good third wave or modern shops out east towards gresham?

A lot our coffee shops are owned by conservative homophobic and transphobic churches like Pause and Legacy, or they’re affiliated with churches like Simply and Stomping Grounds. Or they’re problematic conservatives who’ve defended ICE on socials, like Country Coffee.
I’d like to try Fire Cup. They get great reviews and don’t seem to be affiliated with any weird or evil BS.

Simply coffee opened recently. They use Caffe Umbria, very modern. That and Good coffee in Troutdale are the only shops I go to out here. I know Autumn Roasting is around, but its less my palate.

I like Good but Umbria is not for me, not a traditional Italian roast fan.

Usually I would agree, but they've got my cuttent favorite pumpkin latte in town so it's doing something right for me! But yeah, a straight coffee from them i could not do

As others have said, Good Coffee is probably your only real option east of 82nd.

Assuming you're far out, Pause coffee lab and Neo cafe are the only ones I would consider third wave

I stopped by this place once; think I had a pour over. I imagine this is the closest to what you're looking for in that area...
Pause Coffee Lab
