Cool door handle
Karl A.

Ground is a cool shop. We came in and everything was neat and clean. We put our order in and had our coffees in just a few minutes. The coffee was okay. The brews were good, just not the members I've had. We drank our coffees there and had a pleasant time. Great service, good coffee!

Ordered a mocha to-go online. It was ready when I arrived and I found street parking out front. The flavor was not my favorite as it seemed to be more of a dark roast. Maybe there are better things to order than what I ordered!

Definitely the best place to drop in for pastries, coffee, and lounging in Hood River, Oregon. Exit 63! We were here a few years ago while passing through- on our way to Boise from Gresham. Believe me when I say the baristas are genuinely friendly and chill. That's my favorite part. There is plenty of parking outside and seating inside. I ordered the same cinnamon roll that I had a few years ago. It's between a cinnamon roll and a croissant ... flaky, crispy and soft in the middle. I really love the swivel chairs around the counter. It gives this coffee shop and Old Cafe feeling. I had to show the barista my Yelp video from 7 years panning the coffee shop. Now I have a new one. On this beautiful Tuesday, there are plenty of customers enjoying themselves just like we are.

No Dog Owners Allowed

Coffee was good. Service is hit or miss. When mom, dad, and the kids are ordering you can forget it. The staff doesn't redirect them out of the way until they are ready to order. Instead, the place comes to a standstill while everybody waits. I've tried Ground a few times and on occasion had to leave for Doppio Coffee in order to get timely service. "No Dog People Allowed" sign on the front door. That's an unwelcoming sign. There's room for a "No Kids or Goats" sign, but they didn't put one of those on the door. I wonder why?

20oz Iced Quad Shot White Mocha with Oat Milk. Soooooo good!!!
FarmDude T.

Stopped in Hood River for a coffee break on the way to Pendleton and I'm so glad we did! We ordered two 20oz Iced Quad shot White Mochas with oat milk that had what seemed like thick homemade whipped cream and they were amazing!! Hands down the best Iced White Mocha I've ever had!!! Service was quick and employees were friendly! I also loved the vibe of the place and design/decor. The only problem is Ground coffee shop is 5hrs from where I live so I won't get to enjoy that amazing coffee very often.

Had a small iced latte and pecan scones. I could have that scone everyday of life and never be tired of it... Go get one for yourself.

Special coffee drink menu

Ground holds down the Eastern end of Oak, a Hood River main street before it turns to cross the Hood River. With their logo and sturdy fiberglass scoop chairs, they are referencing mid-century modern. They are in a vintage building marked by a plaque as the Yasui Brothers Mercantioe Built in 1930. There is a selection of outdoor seating facing South on Oak or in their North courtyard. With coffee, they have a selection of pastries, soup (in the cool months) salads and sandwiches. They have a seasonal special drink chalkboard menu. I had the vegan berry almond muffin which was full of flavor and the Tokyo Drip which wasn't too sweet. If course you can add more sweetening if you want more. I'm not a breakfast sandwich person but they have many choices there. They have a collection of small local artworks for sale. Mushrooms are the rage in art now as you can see. They also have some local small production foods like Wally's hot sauce and they use it in house too in the customer condiment options. It's counter service, so very fast.

The Honeybee Latte (lavender and honey) was perfectly balanced.
Mac M.

I can see why this place has great reviews because it's trendy without even trying. Wait staff are great and the product was very good.

One of the only local coffee shops that opens early! We were glad to be able to grab drinks before we headed out of town. My vanilla cardamom coffee was delish! Husband's Americano was weak, so maybe ask for an extra shot?

Best coffee in the Hood. Great roasts and the baristas know how to take it from there!

Cuuute little corner cafe in Hood River. Stopped by after exploring some falls and their food was…read moredelicious! Simple, fresh & tasty. We all got different sandwiches and every single one of us loved what we got. Wasn't too busy on a Friday morning, plenty of open seating. They did have pastries as well but did not partake. Ordered the bagel and lox which was amazing- came with all the fixings such as tomatoes, capers & red onions. The salmon was fresh and the bagel was nice and toasty, just the way I prefer. Got to taste the sandwich with the jam and loved it. Kind of wish I got that sandwich instead just cause of the jam. The bread was really good too- I think they were homemade english muffins. Everything on the sandwich was just chef's kiss! All of the employees were really nice. The place was clean as you have to "buss" your own table. Glad that people can follow directions. The drinks my group ordered came out piping hot and was served with a smile. Cool spot!

We've been here twice, both times to grab sandwiches after a morning of hiking in the Gorge…read more They have a pretty big menu and offer options with soups, salads, and sandwiches, which I love! You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The dining space is bright with tons of seating. I love that they make their own bread!! It's super soft and such a nice touch. I usually go with the turkey which has turkey, white cheddar, tomato, pickles, onion, lettuce, and hot mustard. It was a bit spicier than I would have liked, not that it was too hot, but that flavor was really dominant for me so I'd probably modify it a bit in the future or just build my own . My daughter loved her ham sandwich which comes with sprouts, avocado, and cucumber. My husband also really liked his Italian and their clam chowder. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are hungry in the Gorge!

Thank you Farmstand, especially Anna and Finley…read more We shopped at and had breakfast at FarmStand in the Gorge this morning. It is difficult to find a healthy vegetarian breakfast in Hood River. (they do animal protein as well) The cafe's healthy offerings of such are the main reason we go there regularly. We had a fantastic experience! As a team, Anna and Finley prepared a breakfast for us that accommodated for my food allergies. We had a modified veggie bowl, a pancake platter, and a couple of sides we paid for. We would not ask for this during a busy time, but it was early. We also had great coffee and a well prepared smoothie. Anna worked with us on the order and recorded everything accurately. Finley created the most artistic, beautiful, and possibly most healthy breakfast I've had in Hood River. I could not be any happier with the presentation, flavor, and value of the breakfast that they prepared for us. This is one of the few dining experiences in Hood River that is actually worth the money. We'll keep going back for that same quality. Thank you again.

This is a very crowded grocery store with a small kitchen…read more You order at a counter that is crowded in by water/coffee station and a few tables. Service was very friendly at the kitchen and they took our order quickly. Then you grab drinks/chips from the cooler area and pay at the cashier (he was extremely grumpy). Sit at one of the indoors outdoors tables and the bring your lunch to you. I had the Italian which has a very small spoonful of pesto on it. He had the BLT that was swimming in mayo! Somewhere in between of beans th sandwiches would be good. Some lettuce and tomato on the Italian would be good also. They are large sandwiches though and we ended up taking half of each home for dinner.

This is one of our go-to spots on Hood River. We've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and…read moresomehow they manage to nail it every single time. Today's mission? Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!

Amazing textures! Juicy berries! It's yogurt with seeds, apples, raisins, honey, and banana BLENDED in, Cold Stone style, with fresh berries layered on top. I've been craving some sort of masterful yogurt/fruit concoction ever since I tried the forbidden orchard blueberries at Destroyer in LA, and this completely quenched that craving! And for less than half the price! The grains and seeds make it hearty and filling, and the fruit is perfectly juicy. 100% recommend. Breakfast sandwich #5 (egg, cheese, apple butter, caramelized onions) -- Tastes like autumn. One of the more unconventional breakfast sandwich ingredient combos, this little fella was actually very gentle on the tongue. It had just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for when you want dessert for breakfast but don't want to admit it. The bread was soft, and the sandwich as a whole was just very comforting. Hot mocha latte -- Rich chocolatey flavor. I would have liked it sweeter, but I do tend to like things sweeter than most people do. Whipped cream on top was yummy. Service was quick. It wasn't too busy so that definitely helped. There are plenty of outlets and places to sit. Peaceful, upscale environment with lots of outdoor space. Loved it!
