Just had one of the best chili rellanos ever! A favorite spot in Hood River and service is always great!

We stopped in after the morning rush for breakfast before heading west to hike to several waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Needless to say, coffee was first priority, but we also were looking for a decent breakfast to keep us going. At 9 am on a Wednesday, we were the only customers in the place. The barista/waitress was very helpful answering questions about the menu, and even gave us a view tips on which waterfalls to visit. Our lattes were very good, but my Breakfast Sandwich with Barbacoa ranks as the absolute best breakfast sandwich I've ever sampled. Wow, such an incredible palate pleaser, and very large for a breakfast sandwich. I just wish I lived a lot closer! We hung out for 90 minutes waiting for the skies to clear before starting our day. Good wi-fi and comfortable surroundings. Definitely worth the stop! read more

We had an absolutely unbelievably delicious breakfast in a warm and unassuming spot. Their outdoor patio suited us and our pup perfectly. We ordered at the counter - sweet crunchy liege waffles with berries and syrup along with an avocado eggs benedict on fresh corn masa sopes. Everything was scrumptious and fresh and I would come back again and again!! read more

Excellent! Food, staff and atmosphere were all great! Just passing through but I would for sure be a regular if we lived closer.

Our dear friend Rachel recommended this place and she is always right. Everything from the cocktails, starter, entrees and dessert were delicious. We are only in town for the long weekend and are already planning to come back for breakfast. Such a cool concept and our server Sophia was the best! We ordered: Spicy margarita (husband loved it) A cranberry Tito's cocktail (refreshing) Chicken wings, spicy bbq sauce was awesome Kid's cheeseburger with fun twisty Jo-Jo's Kid's fried chicken with the same fries Pork Sopes - SO good Banh Mi Street Tacos Basque cheesecake read more

Stopped in to this unique coffee bar before exploring downtown Hood River. We had the coffee of the day which was Portland's Elevator Brand! The coffee had a non bitter sweet distinct flavor which we both really enjoyed. I like the idea that coffee is served in a nice mug. This is another fine coffee establishment which I will visit again! read more

I was fully committed to my burger, unwilling to put it down until it was all the way gone, burger juice running between my fingers, when I was startled by a complete disregard to cultural norms. (See image of psychology influenced colored light switches) When this guy was at Home Depot, the bright white bin must have been only one shelf away from the almond bin. Because thats a choice. This isn't creativity. This is psychopathy. I only can assume that what this switch does, is so bad, you mustn't speak of it and you certainly can't document it with a label maker. I might have just had lunch inside a future crime scene (minus one star), but otherwise great place. Bao buns were excellent and appropriately spiced for the PNW. read more

Love the space and indoor-outdoor seating. Great food menu with lots of options, but personally found the actual food / flavor (at least of the sopes) to fall a bit flat. I'll def try again & would recommend checking out! read more

We went to this cool spot for breakfast based off of other reviews. We were not disappointed. We shared a cinnamon sugar donut as an appetizer and then I had the Avocado Eggs Benedict which was SO DELICIOUS and my fiancé had the Auto Pilot and he really enjoyed it. The coffee was also really good. Employees were friendly and service was fast! Will definitely stop here again next time we are in town. read more

This cafe had amazing coffee and awesome breakfast! The lattes were super creamy and delicious. My group got breakfast tacos, the Ricky Bobby, eggs Benedict, and avocado toast. All of our group was super satisfied. My breakfast tacos were two stuffed flour tortillas, with super well rendered bacon and the green chili salsa that came with it was flavorful. It was a great little breakfast spot for chill, indoor or outdoor dining. The mini-doughnuts at the front are also worth the stop alone! read more

once again another phenomenal experience here. the staff treats us so well i feel like family when im around. couldn't ask for a better breakfast spot in town. love the outdoor fire pit and how they do live music still on wednesday's! read more

I have had Molé all over the map, this place makes some of the absolute best house made Molé ever! It's a brown Molé, smokey, salty, and spicy, I couldn't taste any hints of chocolate. I HIGHLY recommend the Molé fried chicken burger. The chicken is buttermilk fried chicken with fantastic crispiness. Service is excellent, everyone is friendly there. Easy going establishment where you seat yourself and order at the register. Outdoor seating is available too! read more

Amazing! I wanted a healthy and filling breakfast after a long walk with the pup and this was the spot. I am gluten free and vegetarian PLUS wanted to eat indoors with my dog, and this place checked all boxes. I got the carmelized onion omelette with a side of gf garlic bread and fruit. Amazing! The sauce, onions, and cheese were fantastic and it was a large portion for the price. They also had a quality fruit bowl with berries and oranges, not all melon! The garlic bread was divine. My dog enjoyed a puppuccino with some little treats in it, so fun. You order at a bar and put your own dishes away, but the servers are still pretty cool. One server chatted with us and told us all the cool spots in the area we should check out. Great sense of community here, I loved how kind everyone was and how much love my dog got. This is a place I would come back to over and over again. read more

The instructions here are grab a menu, grab a seat, but then order at the counter, so if you get up to order, you might lose your table. They offer a small but good variety on their menu. I ordered their breakfast tacos on corn tortillas with guac. It was good, but very messy and a bit on the spicy side. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Not much customer service, you see them when you order and drop off your food. Prices are reasonable. read more

Came here based on a local's recommendation during lunch time. When I arrived, I noticed the parking was limited and the coffee kitchen was actually connected to a bike shop. I walked through their open garage door, grabbed a menu, and sat down. Once I was ready to order, I went up to their bar to order all following their instructional sign. I ordered a lavender matcha latte and a banh mi street taco. The lavender matcha was well balanced and not too sweet, the way I like my drinks. The bank mi street tacos (2) was okay. Think they put a bit too much fish sauce on their chicken, and the pickled veggies want enough to balance the flavor. I still thought this was a nice establishment to check out for a quick work lunch or coffee. read more

Pit stop in Hood River on the way to AND the way back from the coast. Breakfast we tried the avocado toast with an over easy egg, the creamiest latte, mole chilaquiles and chorizo burrito bowl. For lunch on the way home we had the Banh Mi Street tacos and the Ensenada La Bomba salad. Every dish was super fresh and loaded with flavor! Very friendly staff! Would die to have this fun spot in my own town. read more

I've always had a great experience at kickstand. It's by go to when in hidden river. Great good, service, live music if you're lucky. Very nice space as well with open indoor seating and a patio. Good meat options for me and veggie for my wife. Love it. read more

4 years after my first visit, still as amazing as I remember! Stand out items were the chicken sandwich + fries (holy moly the curly fries!!), the chicken wings (the sweet tangy sauce and tender chicken combo wow), and the fried chicken tacos (super innovative how they added the brussel sprouts in there!). Service is friendly and quick. Parking wasn't bad but we also came at 2pm on a Sunday. Come one, come all this place is super cute and food is delicious :) read more

Really yummy spot! A little high in pricing but large portions and really good flavor. Outdoor seating is cute, it was a nice sunny day so we took advantage.

I'd like to start with the donut. Yes I had the mole chilaquiles and they were wonderful. Yes he had something else, no I can't remember, yes he did love it. But the special little pre meal treat was that chocolate donut. Most perfect. This is our second time here and always when we are passing through. It won't be our last visit, nor last donut to enjoy. read more

We came here for dinner and it was one of our favorite meals of the trip! Good service and a nice patio to eat outside. We got the Mexican food, and it was VERY good. My husband and I shared, and we still had leftovers to take home. Bonus points for the cool little local guidebooks at the tables. A very personal and interesting touch. read more

What a fun restaurant a bit tucked away into a neighborhood on the side of a (really cool) bike store. Good service, nice beer and mimosa, and inventive breakfast. I had the barbacoa Benedict, and my husband had something called Ricky Bobby (would love to know the story behind that name). Both were delicious with completely different flavor profiles from each other. I'd love to come back to try more than the brunch menu. read more

Another neat spot to checkout in Hood River for brunch. Iced coffee was delicious. Service unfortunately was slow but they were packed and it was Father's Day. We didn't mind hanging out and catching up with family. Food was tasty, different and we will be back! No pictures because we ate EVERY LAST BITE! read more

Large outdoor patio with a hard to warm up to fire pit. Tables need a good scrub down & rinse. Pup friendly. Service ~ meh. Almost self-serve everything besides the food brought out to you. All the staff needs to do at this point is welcome guests and a simple smile. Not performed. Interesting menu ~ Indian flair, good solid kick of spice. The value ~ sandwich came with 2 fries, pizza palm sized. A spot or two for parking? Will have to park a block away off the street for most. Neighborhood chill joint, great for a beer after a hike. read more

The only positive note about this spot is the vibes and aesthetics of the patio. As well as making space for the furry friends. Everything else about this place is absolutely wild...and not in a good way. When we sat down we put in for two drinks. After 15 minutes, we ordered our food. The first odd experience was that appetizer came out before drinks. When the drinks did arrive, they were very watered down to the point that we questioned if there was alcohol in them. The server did apologize for how long it took to get the drinks. When food arrived, the server announced one of the dishes but didn't name the other. She put the food down quickly and was off. There was no opportunity to ask what the dish was. After we looked at the menu, we realized that she had switched it with a different item on the menu. The item that I received was not what I had ordered. We waited and waited for the server to come back to correct the mistake but hunger set in. 35 minutes the server comes over to ask how everything is and that's when I explained the mistake. This is when the experience becomes the wildest...instead of owning their mistake. The server and manger told me it was my fault I didn't get what I ordered because I had eaten half of the meal. INSANE. The only reason half was eaten was because my husband gave me half his meal because I couldn't eat what I was served. Nor could I even talk to a server to correct the mistake. As a former server and barista, this was an absolutely terrible experience for customer service, food and drinks. read more

This place is so awesome! We were hoping to catch breakfast because the reviews and photos of the breakfast sandwiches are absolutely out of this world! That's OK we will definitely be back during breakfast hours. The cocktails are awesome! Funny we came for breakfast and ended up getting cocktails and a burger. I absolutely love the way they cut the fries so fun and so thick. The fries are nice and fluffy and for being fried food they feel light which is always really nice. The burger was so flavorful! Definitely recommend getting extra pickles. I do believe they are made in house! Being gluten-free I was a little nervous about the gluten-free bun because this can definitely be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's just better to get the burger wrapped in lettuce. I did not feel that way. The gluten-free bun was actually really good! I love that there are so many gluten-free options at this place , and I cannot wait to come back! read more

Nice, hip coffee and food spot. Very good coffee. Best I have had in the area. You order everything at the counter. Good lunch options but they made a few minor mistakes with our order. The service was very good though they promptly fixed the issue and apologized. Unique flavors, amazing fries. Coming back tomorrow for breakfast! read more

Kickstand Coffee & Kitchen was a hit for me and my friends, we wanted somewhere to eat after hiking and saw they had a cheeseburger with onion bacon jam & goat cheese that we needed to try & it was bomb! The meat was perfect and all the tastes flowed perfectly, the fries were very filling & they had 2 kinds of aioli to dip in and both options were delicious! For appetizer we got the guacamole trio and it came with 3 guac flavors and seasoned tostada shells that were delicious! We were to full for desert but next time I'm out that way I'll definitely give the cheesecake a try. read more

Wondering what took us so long to hit up Kickstand... For years we've passed by this amazing place, on our way to and from other spots in HR. Today we finally stopped in for lunch and are so glad we did. The Owner greeted us and was welcoming and we immediately felt at home. The decor and aesthetic is so Hood River and we loved all of the personal touches. Two of us ordered their burger and one of us had an avocado poke. Two of us also had their Bacon Bloody Mary and it was amazing. The burgers were fresh and delicious. Not greasy, at all and super tasty. The tuna avocado poke was also well received. I think the thing that hit home most was the hospitality and we can't wait to come back for breakfast and will visit again when we are in the Hood! Thank you! read more

I love all of the details they have focused on here. (especially the field guide books; really cool touch you all, well done ) Such a good local spot to come to. Well managed, ran and loved no doubt.

Kickstand came highly recommended to us by several people, so we thought it would be a great place to grab breakfast after our morning hike. The atmosphere is cute and casual, lots of places to sit both indoor and outdoor, and the ordering process was quick and easy. I was excited because breakfast on a Saturday can sometimes be quite hectic. Service was fast, and the people were fine... efficient. Now onto the food -- my husband ordered the Ricky Bobby, and I got the Breakfast Burrito with chorizo. The presentation was promising, but we were astonished that both of our meals had absolutely 0 flavor. The chorizo gravy on his dish didn't even seem to have salt on it, and the fried chicken had absolutely no flavor! It was mind boggling... My breakfast burrito was filled to the brim with flavorless rice, no pico, no beans, no cheese, no potatoes, just some eggs and the smallest amount of the driest, flavorless chorizo... truly astonished! Thank god for the green salsa the burrito came with, but we both didn't even finish half of our meals. For $50 for 2 people to have breakfast and a coffee... we will not be giving it a second chance. And i'm seriously so confused as to why people are obsessed with this place. Maybe we came on an off day? No clue. I would expect so much more for a place that does Mexican breakfast! Where is the flavor! Ah! read more

Stopped at this place on the way home because it looked really tasty. We had the burger and the chicken tacos. The place is super cute with a big bar and a big coffee drink selection and a neat bike shop right next door. The patio is huge and has heating. It was clean and the meals tasted really good; the cook cares about what they're putting in, and how it looks. I'd definitely come back! read more

Overall: This place offers a little bit of everything. Coffee? They've got it! Beer, wine, cocktails, ciders? Got it all. Breakfast menu? Yes! Lunch and dinner? Of course! Burritos? Tostadas? Sandwiches? Burgers? Naan Pizza? Poke? A little bit of an identity crisis? I think so. Ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating. Connected to Evo repair shop. Kind of cold, but fun decorations and there's nothing like sitting between a cocktail bar and a coffee bar. Food: They have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. When we got there it was their lunch menu. Naughty Naan pizza: Tikka Masala is the theme for this pizza. We got it with chicken and it was pretty good. It was odd biting into a pizza and tasting curry flavors, but it worked. Buttermilk Fried Chicken: Comes with two giant pieces of chicken that are friend and topped with sweet honey. Comes with vinegar pickles and fries. Absolutely loved this dish and would recommend. The chicken was crispy, the pickles were crispy. And it comes with their garlic aioli, which was a banger. Very good. Bacon Jam Burger: The combination of flavors for this burger worked well. The smoked bacon with the onion jam, goat cheese and garlic aioli was added a variety of depth of flavors. They all worked well together. The beef itself was also cooked perfect. Would recommend. read more
