    Thank God for this espresso stop! I was having an awful headache because my dumb butt forgot to bring portable coffee maker on this road trip thru rural Oregon. I really wasn't expecting it but all the sudden Route 66 Espresso popped up literally out of nowhere. Great drinks, very friendly service and it was super quick. My dogs also loved their dog treats, they would definitely rate this place 5/5. It's good to know this place is there to save the day. If you're ever around this smal community for any reason, even just passing through I'd recommend stopping by for the quick pick-me-up. :)

    This place is under new ownership as of September 2020. The drink was luke-warm at best as well as weak and ungodly expensive. Sure miss Christy who use to own it. She was always so sweet, the drinks were perfect and affordable and she never treated you like she was holier than you. If you're traveling east continue on to Dayville. If you're traveling west continue on to Prineville.

    The food is homemade. The breakfast burritos are big and yummy!! The Pumpkin Latte was also delicious!

    Great coffee. Kind service. Lovely picnic area with amenities, dog area and nice smelling porter potty. A gem!

    So, on our way to the amazing Painted Hills Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, I saw this little coffee kiosk and pulled up to the window.

    Brand 44.....................so inspired, so friendly, so ICONIC!…read more Let me start by saying there is no where else like Brand 44, at least not for 100's of miles from here. Sure, you can easily find a great breakfast place, maybe even just down the street, but you won't get Brand 44's exceptional-in-every-way total package. First of all, the menu is chock full of some truly inspired, creative, and yummy food you won't find almost anywhere. (And same for the morning cocktails!). Secondly, the waitstaff somehow remains so friendly and engaging despite the restaurant nearly always being super busy. Thirdly, the ambience is a wonderful combo of relaxed, fun, and cozy. Lastly, you aren't going to pay more than the average going rate for an artisnal (non-Denny's) breakfast! As mentioned, and for obvious reasons, Brand 44 can be crowded and busy, impacting both parking and wait times, so plan accordingly. Parking isn't actually a problem - you WILL find a spot - but it may require a short walk. If you aren't seated right away, there are cornhole boards out back, as well as outside seating. Dogs are welcome in this area. Now, the wrap this up: if you haven't been, then you MUST GO. And, don't wait too long because Brand 44 is for sale. The 3 wonderful female owners have created something truly special indeed, but that creativity and daily effort of giving it 100% is exhausting and they are ready to move on. It will be a sad day, for sure. Anyway, GO visit. You will be glad you did.

    Extremely fast service. Like to where we were a little confused about how it could be done already…read more Super nice waitress who answered all my many questions about gluten free options. She says you can call 48 hours ahead and they'll have gluten free donuts for you on the weekend?! I was there for my final 40th birthday celebration and she said they normally do bday donuts but they don't have gf on weekdays. I asked if I could have gf French toast and my request was granted! The bread held up nicely to being French toastified too. I got the gf carnitas Benedict. I actually liked the toast hamburger bun the used. It also held up to the moist meat and the hollandaise sauce. I got plain hollandaise subbed so it wouldn't be spicy. The meat was good with the classic Benedict stuff. My friend got the regular Benedict and liked it. And my other friend got a pesto omelette and she appreciated how none of the flavors overpowered the others. And as a healthy person she liked that she could get a side of cottage cheese. A very good experience!

    Simple. Convenient. Local…read more I was spending a few days in town locally. I had the opportunity to stop in a couple times. This market is the main cafe, convenience store and gas station in a small rural town with a population of just over 150 residents. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was hot. I stopped in one morning to have breakfast. I ordered their Denver Omelet which is a three egg omelet filled with diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion and chunks of ham for $11.70. I added cheese for an additional 60 cents. It comes with hash browns and your choice of toast. Quite a hearty breakfast and very reasonably priced! I enjoyed the omelet so much that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. There were 4 or 5 different folks working in the cafe / store when I was there. They seemed to share different roles from waiting, cashier, pumping gas and minding the store. The store itself carries a variety of essentials, frozen meats & seafoods, beverages and snack items, typical for many other convenience stores. Should I visit the area again in the future, I would definitely stop in for breakfast.

    We were there recently and stayed next door at the Riverbend Motel. The cafe is part of the market…read moreand as another person noted there is generally one person (The owner) doing everything. She does take a couple days off so there are others that work as well when it is busy, and when she can find the help. The food is good and she gladly made me a custom sandwich one morning. I know she is interested in retiring so that could happen and they could close. I will post pictures of inside and outside soon.
