saw all these great reviews and maybe it was an off day for the team. I ordered the matcha with vanilla and unfortunately they either forgot or the vanilla was so subtle and mild, it was hard to detect. The latte was also a little underwhelming. It's a cute place and the service is friendly so I was hoping the drinks would match the vibe and reviews from others. read more

Kate helped us. We had two espresso drinks. They were prepared extremely well. She explained to us how the rotating pastries worked from different vendors. We were back the very next morning, buying coffee beans. We are locals. read more

Camping along the river, with trains running all night, I was def in need of coffee but not expecting much from the tiny town. However, I couldn't have been more impressed with this place! Exceeded my expectations and is up there with some of my fave coffee shops! Came here multiple times and not only did I very much appreciate the "traditional 6oz cappuccino?" Question, but it was consistently good. I plan on ordering beans to give 'em a shot on my own espresso machine. read more

Coffee is gross, super dirty and dingy and the owner is extremely rude. Plus the food sucks

People who appreciate the finest coffee go here. There were also unreal Hungarian pastries with fresh cherries from nearby. This baby bear latte art sort of morphed into a bulldog but that's because I waited. Keyword barista. read more

10 Speed Coffee Bar - Baby bear latte art - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Love local coffee shops! 10 Speed serves up delicious coffee drinks, they roast their own beans for pour overs and to make their espresso drinks. No bitterness or burnt flavor; just rich, smooth well rounded perfection. The beans must be popular as many come in just to purchase them! Located on 13th Street amongst a few other shops, restaurants and a bakery, it's far enough away from Oak Street that most tourists don't wander this way. Since I like going where the locals eat and drink, I go out of my way to explore places off the beaten path. The owners and baristas are super friendly. The shop is quaint, adorned with bouquets of fresh flowers from local farms, a much appreciated touch! They also sell pastries and if you are lucky enough to be there when they have cardamom buns, get one! Amazing. Seating available on main floor, upstairs and picnic table outside, which is always my preference. Great way to start your day in Hood River! Or a pick-me-up mid day to keep you going! Don't forget to buy beans to bring home. read more

I swung by for a quick coffee. There were three workers, and they all greeted me with a friendly smile. No one was in line and I got served quickly. I would say I was in and out in less than 3 minutes. They do have a place outside and inside to sit if you need to work or are going there for a coffee date. read more

This place is great! The barista was so friendly, the coffee was great, and we were able to hang out and get some work done in a very comfortable way. Highly recommend! read more

This place is great! I love trying new coffee shops and roasters. They just have more appreciation for the coffee, the process and the farm where they source their beans from. I first came here for their 17th birthday! Can't believe this place has been in business for 17 years but it makes sense since everything was amazing. I tried the pour over with the Kickstand blend ( it's the only house blend) and it was delicious! Most places don't take the time to make pour overs since they require more time and patience. My girlfriend tried the cappuccino. We bring our own mugs to coffee shops to save some cups. Ours are bigger mugs so sometimes if we ask for an 8oz cappuccino, the baristas will just fill the rest of the mug with milk which just ruins the proportions of the drink. This place was one of few that actually made a correct drink for us in our own mugs! On top of the great coffee menu, 10 Speed also had some pastries from White Salmon Bakery. We got the cardamom roll and that was just the best cardamom treat I have ever tried. I also ended up buying a few bags of coffee from here of their single origin coffee and made some French press style at home and loved all of them! Overall this was a great place and is one of my favorite coffee shops in Hood River! read more

I had left a review about 6 months ago, but in reviewing my "insights" on Yelp, I noticed my review of 10 Speed was mysteriously gone. Instead of addressing their own issues, I can only assume 10 Speed figured out a way to have my review deleted??? I don't remember every detail of my original review, but I remember my review was poor because one of the girls working behind the counter, who I assumed was the manager, was pretty rude to a tired looking woman wearing scrubs, sitting by herself, deep in thought, quietly eating her pastry. She had violated 10 Speed's made-up rules and the manager made sure the customer knew it. I felt really bad for the nurse or doctor. In the manager's unprofessional medical opinion, the woman was a COVID vector by eating her bagel in her shop or whatever. I remember in my previous review saying something about how this coffee shop does not have to be like this under Governor Brown's order and most coffee shops in town are not this needlessly strict. I also remember suggesting going to any one of several other coffee shops in town for a better experience such as Ground, Doppio, Dog River, or Kickstand. read more

Found this place on Yelp on the way to our trip. Very cute shop that remind you a little mountain house. Inside is pretty small but the drinks we ordered were delicious, and the staff was so nice and friendly! If I have another time to pass by, I'd def go back. High recommend! read more

Friendly, excellent pastries by White Salmon Bakery, coffee was perfection. Highly recommend. My son son said the Chocolate Croissant was the best he's ever had! read more

10 Speed Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Best coffee in Hood River that I have found! You can taste the quality in their beans. Variety of beans to choose from too. Also, offer pour over coffee too. read more

I've been coming to this coffee shop for some time. The coffee is great. But some of the staff are incredibly rude. It's hard to see the people in front of you get treated with a smile. But when it's your turn the girls are rude and unfriendly. read more

We stopped in while on a long road trip and were not disappointed. Coffee was excellent!

I have been coming this coffee shop weekly over the years, even when Brian owned it but now have to leave a review. The staff person who works there with the colored hair is probably the rudest person I have dealt with in Hood River. Not only does she make up her own rules in regards to the pandemic ( like you can't sip your coffee to make sure the creamer was correct on your $5 americano), she makes snide comments when. I don't tip, slams containers around. I witnessed this fine activity in front of Ben, the owner last Saturday and will not be back. Please train her properly or fire her. Kudos to the rest of the staff that are so friendly. Btw- my wife was the nurse in the other review from Edward. read more

Coffee Connoisseur's Gem in Hood River This quaint coffee house is tucked a few blocks south of the Historic Hood River Downtown and away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. The Kickstand roast (the espresso roast 10 Speed uses in their cappuccinos) radiates an abundantly rich dark cocoa and cream taste bud experience and is smooth and well rounded. Very easy on the pallette, tasty, and free of bitterness or burnt flavors. Very friendly baristas, as well. read more

First visit to our soon to be neighborhood coffee place. Friendly service, amazing pita egg wraps, fresh ground beans for home brew pourovers and a delish nonfat latte. The fresh flower arrangements made by the owner's wife's local flower farm business and outdoor picnic table seating add such a happy start to our day! read more

Went here for the rating but was incredibly disappointed. When I paid, the young woman asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I asked if I could write it. She said no, so I asked how I sign it? She said you don't at this time. So I asked if it was due to COVID. She said yes. TOTALLY understandable. I asked if my sticky bun could be heated and she, without a word, put it in the toaster oven. There was awkward silence. she started making cat cooing sounds to the other person behind the counter as if to indicate I was catty. She then slid my pastry back. It doesn't take much to change the vibe. Too bad, coffee was good and so was the pastry. read more

Really great coffee here -- a 12 oz drip coffee ($2) and a scone ($2.75) will give your day a real boost. Seriously, one of the best scones I have ever had -- really awesome. The scones are wholesome (think "granola-ee") and innovative (gingers/peach/cranberry, etc.). I heard the pastry chef is quite the culinary artist. Also, the $1 donut is fantastic -- they have blueberry donuts topped with powdered sugar that are sure not to disappoint. Love the bicycle themed decore in here. Very cool. Super chill place to sit back, relax, read a book, surf the internet (free wi fi) and take in the beautiful views of Hood River. If I were a regular in HR, this would definitely be one of my hangouts. Recommended. read more

As a local Hood River resident, this is my favorite place for pastries. However, they only have them certain days of the week. Their cardamom bun is to DIE for. The staff could be friendlier though. read more

10 speed is the best place to get coffee in the heights. Every cup is made in front of you. You choose the type of bean you want, it is then ground and brewed while you wait in this neat filter stand contraption. Nice place to relax while doing laundry down the street. There is also a community board that is informational. read more

Latte & Cappuccino were both really good. The service was fast and friendly. Not a lot of table room inside but additional seating outside makes it easy to relax and enjoy your coffee. read more

Good coffee and food. It's too bad the employees are so rude. I live a couple of blocks away and was hoping this would be my local coffee spot. read more

At its best, coffee is a transporting experience -- a vehicle to remembering and reminiscing over experiences of a place. I had just this experience this morning at 10 Speed. In college, I spent a summer in Kenya and this morning I sipped a single origin pour over from Nakuru. I remembered being on safari in the reserve in Nakuru and all the flamingos on lake. The pour over was smooth and all that a Kenyan coffee should be. The prices were really reasonable - just $2.25 for a large pour over. The barista was warm and laid back and her vibe exuded in the space. It all felt just right for a summer Sunday morning. read more

This place felt like a movie set--everyone and everything looked right but underneath there wasn't much substance. I had to request water that was properly hot for my tea, the bagel wasn't that different from what I could buy in the supermarket, the barista had a bit of an attitude. I would recommend the upstairs seating which was quirkier. It feels a bit like being in someone's bedroom but there are some nice couches and a view of the street. read more

I love 10-Speed. I will always miss their old spot in Mosier but I'm happy to have them in Hood River. My favorite coffee places in town all get 5 stars and they have different aspects that I equally appreciate. 10-SPEED - Chill vibe, friendly staff, less busy than others because it's not downtown, which makes it especially great in the summer. KICKSTAND - Best food, great outdoor and indoor seating. Louder and more social than the others so it's better for larger groups and mingling. And they have coffeebeans and cool logo merchandise for sale! GROUND - Always plays the best music. Good work space and good for meetings. DOPPIO - Best working space coffeehouse in the winter. Too busy in the summer. Staff are really really nice. read more

Good coffee in a simple neighborhood storefront. Cappuccinos are rich and flavorful without being overly bitter. The foam is nice too. There's not a ton to this place, but if in Hood River and in need of a coffee, its a good spot. read more

Yeah! 10-speed is probably the best coffee in this part of the hood...Their Mocha's are excellent with a hint of Vanilla with an extra garnished of dusting of coco on top with one of the best Rosetta art Ive seen besides the champs over at Urban Coffee lounge in Kirkland,WA. I had a foodgasim over their Ham and cheese croissants. Cheesy, fluffy and buttery croissants where absolutely deelishis and it makes me want to drive the 3 hours to this Oregon roaster just to get my fat fingers on one of those. The vibe is great, mellow with a lot of bicyclist hanging out with this shop dog that I refer to the mayor of hood river that walks around and greats everyone in a mellow beach dog way. If your from the Hood or going to visit Hoodriver this is the place to get your coffee! read more

I go to a lot of coffee shops and I'm willing to say with plenty of confidence that 10 Speed is about as good as a coffee shop gets. I highly recommend their pour overs. They are done to perfection. Off the menu, the atmosphere is wonderful. Be sure to check upstairs for additional seating and a bit more privacy. Staff is friendly, helpful, and with a great sense of humor. I'm not in Hood River often, but when I am I'll be sure to stop at 10 Speed Coffee. read more

Best coffee this side of the Mississippi, or something like that... Anyways, mebbe I'm a little biased 'cause I rent from Bryan (owner) but they serve the best coffee in town with the best attitudes towards customers. Come here for the food and drinks, stay for the relaxed atmosphere, intelligent & chatty baristas and the sweet bicycle theme. read more

Totally just happened upon this coffee shop, thanks to my Yelp iPhone app. Some of the best places I have found seem to be discovered that way. I can't say I tried the pastries here, nor can I say I chatted it up with the staff. It was early and I just needed a coffee....bad. I ordered up two of their largest size White Chocolate Mochas (WCM) and hit the road. It wasn't until I settled back into the car that I sipped down their frothy concoction. Yowza, their coffee is the bomb! I thought I already had the best WCM but I was very wrong. 10 Speed Coffee has THE BEST WCM I have EVER tried! Hands down!! Had I tried it in the store I would have told them so....but we were a mile away by that time. Next time we are in town I know where to get coffee! I wish I bought some of the ground coffee beans they sold by the bag. Dang it!! read more

If you like good coffee brewed with in-house roasted beans, fun service, a pretty stellar atmosphere, and you happen to enjoy bicycles- This is The Spot! In town racing the Mt. Hood Classic, I happened upon this place via a locals recommendation and was happy to have been lucky to receive this piece of advice. Awesome place, community oriented, Great Layout, Super Chill Owner. No Lance, It is about the bike & 10 speed is about the Coffee... read more

Wow for me their coffee was like hi-octane racing full. Had a real short trip to Hood, and needed a good coffee shop (off the main drag). The doppio had me seeing things... it has great. My girl loved her bravia latttes. Super good flavor in their beans! The only thing that through me off was I got a cupcake and I believe it was gluttin free, and since I am not cool enough for the gluttin free trend, I was dissappointed they didn't give me a heads up on that (or I hope it was gluttin free, because if it wasn't they need to get a new cupcake maker). Besides that everything I ate there was very tasty. read more

10 Speed Coffee has, hands down, the best coffee in town. Located up in the heights (and out of the hustle and bustle of Oak St) is the regular stop for a ton of locals who know what great coffee is and doesnt need crowds, uncomfortable seating, and silly gimmicks. The space is nice, functional, and pretty comfy. Snagging the couch with a cup of Sumatra from the drip bar, a copy of WW to read, and a breakfast wrap to snack on is a Saturday made in Heaven. read more

Great little shop wth great espresso. Ample seating. And 2 nice bathrooms. When I was here 3 people came in just to buy beans. So I'm assuming that have great beans (that appear to be roasted on their own). They also have a very small food menu including some breakfast sandwiches and a decent pastry selection. They also were selling some cherries that I bought - (pre-washed ready to eat). I really liked the place. Really cool shop in a really cool town. 5-stars. read more

Great people, great coffee, great doughnuts! Whenever I am in HR, this is where I now stop. They roast their own beans and it is darn good stuff! read more

10 Speed Coffee Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Good coffee, free wifi, and a comfortable place to hang out. The upstairs is nice and quiet, with comfortable seats. They have free wifi, but you have to ask for the password. My only complaint was that they close fairly early, at least it was at 4:00pm when I was there. This wouldn't have been a problem except the barista didn't tell us until after we ordered, at 3:50pm, with plans to stay. She was nice enough to let us hang out upstairs while she cleaned and closed up shop, but had we known before we ordered we probably would have found some other place. read more

Cool spot! We were camping outside hood river and in desperate need of coffee beans. We got the house blend(can't remember the name). It hit was excellent! So was the cold brew I got while I was there. The barista was extremely nice and helpful as well. read more
