Hood Hotel (part of it?). Lovely decor, outside tables were set up but a little too chilly that morning. Loved the large bar and small tables setup with an inside set of booths. Friendly and warm service, coffee was served in glass mugs, felt like home :) We ordered the trout hash and the onion+mushroom hash. Both were unique and delicious! Served with warm walnut bread, just delightful! Highly recommend a stopover if driving through or even stopping for a hike at the nearby falls.

Our friends brought us here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and the place was packed! We got…read moresuper lucky with a table big enough for us in the back. Definitely got the small town diner feel here, and everything on the menu sounded so good! They also have a specials board inside so make sure to take a look before you make your decision. I finally decided on the south of the border omelette, which also comes with hash browns or potatoes or fruit, and a biscuit or muffin or toast. Such a satisfying and filling meal! The omelette itself was not short on ingredients at all, and I loved the cilantro. The menu did mention homemade salsa but I didn't see any of that on the side or inside. Other than that, the eggs were cooked nicely. I picked the chorizo biscuit on the side and it was so soft and fluffy inside! I also appreciated the amount of options on the kids menu. There was plenty more options than just your standard pancake, bacon, and eggs. Our kids loved the pigs in a blanket which was actually quite big and perfect for our two kids to split. Service was awesome, our server was so kind and even brought out our friend's son's maple bar with a candle because he mentioned it was his birthday. She did it without us even asking which was so sweet! The food came out so quickly too despite the entire restaurant being full. Great experience here at Bette's!

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!

Breakfast plates were great with many options to choose from. I had the burger one night for dinner and it was well prepared and very tasty.

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!

Parking on both sides of the street (maybe about 15 slots total in the two lots) and otherwise a very short walk away. Chicken decor errywhere, which was fun to see.

The Mr. and I both chose the Croissant Royale, S chose the avocado toast, and M had the Spiced Breakfast Burrito. The portions were generous and nicely plated. We all enjoyed our choices. Additionally, the Mr. and I ordered the strawberry shortcake to share. The base was a lemon scone, topped with fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. It was the best thing I ate in Oregon! Service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't a big deal. A delicious brunch coupled with a beautiful view made for an excellent experience!

I wish I knew of them immediately but only stumbled upon them walking around town…read more It was later in the afternoon (they close at 3:00) so kinda selling out of baked goods. We got the tirimisu loaf- omg I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. My husband doesn't like tiramisu and he even loved it. Loaf was moist well balanced, not too heavy or sweet, and the icing was not a traditional icing. It was creamy like airy mousse - perfect balance! Highly recommended. Next, we have the blackberry lemon pastry. Wow another highly recommended dessert. The pastry was your flaky, buttery, croissant texture, and the blueberry feeling was perfect amount of berry sweetness. They were sold out some things, but I did notice a Earl Grey cookie that looked yummy. Service was very friendly. They have all kinds of breakfast and lunch items like sandwiches and wraps which I wish I would've ordered. Plenty of indoor seatings for middle and large group. Plus coffee and water.

They have plenty of outdoor seating for your little pups, though the water dish they left out was unattended to. As far as food, they had a whole plant-based menu to meet my vegan needs. More important, they were able to make a gluten-free sandwich for my partner with celiac. They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!

They also have their summer specials menu which had two coffee options, a blended lemonade, and a tea. I opted to try their Summer Send Tea which has a coconut cold foam over mango green tea. It looks like a cup of milk but it was actually quite refreshing as a cold tea latte! The coconut cold foam was unique but definitely gave the island vibe over the fruity tea.
