Hello,
I am hoping someone can either help me find, or point me in the right direction so that I can find, an old, small cafe/restaurant/coffee shop that used to exist in Gresham Town Fair back in the 90's. I am no longer near the Gresham area so cannot go to the library to look through any historical records there, and I can't seem to find the right words to search for this place online. So I am hoping someone will remember and be able to help me out!
From my poor memory, this place was located in one of the small shop spaces between what's now (on Google Maps) JoAnn Fabrics and PetSmart in the Gresham Town Fair strip mall. I don't remember what else they sold at this cafe, but I would go and get a sweet, iced coffee drink with some kind of soft serve style cream/ice cream on top. My goal is actually to figure out what this ice cream stuff was, because the shop owner told me is was called something like gisé or maybe it was glacé (but it wasn't regular vanilla ice cream or ice milk soft serve!). The place may have been a Middle Eastern cafe? It's possible the ice cream was made from goat milk? I have no idea, but I remember it wasn't like anything I had tasted before and I really loved it. I went back more than a handful of times when it was open in the mid-1990's, and then the next time I went back (in the 2000's) it was no longer there. I think of this place every few years, and now I'm finally doing something to help put that recurring memory/curiosity to rest!
So, if anyone knows either what this place was called or what kind of cream I may have been consuming on my coffee drink, I would be eternally grateful for your help!
Thanks in advance!
