Where do you go in Winthrop when it's earrrrrly on a Saturday morning and you need some coffee (and…read morewi-fi)? Well, Rocking Horse should be at the top of your list! I was in town to visit a friend and awoke early, so rather than making a bunch of noise in their small house, I meandered downtown with my laptop and discovered Rocking Horse. I ordered a delish white mocha, nommed on a freshly baked muffin, and topped it off with a personal-sized pan of their incredibly tasty quiche. What put this place at the top of my coffee list, though, was the impeccable service. So friendly, and so welcoming - even as the early morning line of customers grew and grew. I will definitely be back!

But it is a protein packed delight you will come back to have a second one before you leave town. No regrets!!

I'm really surprised by the low ratings, especially pertaining to the service others noted. I was…read morein Winthrop for a week and came here practically every day! Pros- I felt super welcomed. The service I received was top notch! Molly, Vickie, and Jonathan were really cool, friendly, and went above and beyond for me. I fell in love (LOVE!) with their chocolate soda, literally! Hands down, it's absolutely the best chocolate drink I've ever had. I would go in daily to get one order to drink immediately and 1-2 drinks to go (no ice, I would chill it in the hotel fridge). I loved the drink so much, I actually went across the street to Aspens Grove and bought two pitchers, so I could get enough of the drink to share with friends (11 people in total!) And yes, everyone loved it! The chocolate soda was more chocolate milk, since they had a soda water shortage, but if it's as tasty as the chocolate milk - oh my! Other pros- everything they use is either home grown (they have their own organic farm) or sourced locally whenever possible. All ingredients are of high quality and organic (also whenever possible). My first meal was their curry chicken salad which had great flavor and coconut flakes which added a nice texture! Vickie is the master chef and the magician behind their dishes and drinks. She took time to come out and share the chocolate soda recipe with me. I'll tell you this much- she makes an amazing dark chocolate ganache as the base of their chocolate drinks! She not only shared the recipe, but told me where I could go to get the highest quality chocolate and at the best price too! I have 15 bars, so I will make it at home soon! In the group of 11 friends I shared the drink with- a friend's son told her that she needed to get a pitcher and take it over to Oliver's too, to get more chocolate milk! It is so tasty and I'm so thankful that Vickie gave me the recipe and that Molly demonstrated step by step how she makes it! Cons- when it gets busy, it can be slow, but honestly, I felt it was worth the wait. We will be coming back to Winthrop a lot, and I plan to make Oliver's one of my first stops (if not the first!) on all future trips!

We went around the 11 am hour on the weekend, and they were out of several things. The service was perfunctory, not overly friendly. The items we got didn't rock me. We tried the cinnamon twisp, but it wasn't very cinnamony, and it was kind of dry. The same with the fruit danish. Not much filling and kind of dry. They have a cute photo op outside. They have several tables indoors for seating, and it was a busy place. I think they have quality products, and it is up to personal preference on what you take away here.

GUYS. Seriously run, don't walk to the Mazama Store if you are anywhere near the North Cascades or…read moreMethow Valley area. I'm so incredibly glad that multiple friends told me to check it out because I listened and not only visited but made a point to stay in Mazama which allowed me to soak in the full experience of this magical remote mountain town. The Mazama Store is located right in the center of town (which feels like something out of a postcard) and offers so much more than I thought. It's a rustic yet curated general store with a mix of groceries, local wines and craft beers, gifts and artisan goods, fresh baked treats, a coffee bar, hot food, outdoor gear, and even gas pumps outside. There's also a trail register for the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) thru-hikers which I could have stood and read for hours. Overall, the Mazama Store is part cafe, part supply stop, part community hub - and 100% worth the visit. I started my experience by snagging one of their famous sea salt baguettes (absolutely live up to the hype and then some) and then wandered outside to place a coffee and lunch order. I was pretty hungry after hiking Maple Pass Loop and driving over to Mazama so I opted for a Caramon latte and a pulled pork sandwich, which much to my delight was served on a heavenly sea salt baguette. Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Honestly, I can't tell you which part of the meal was my favorite because everything was so good!! We grabbed a table in the shade outside and enjoyed our food while watching hikers, bikers, and families filter in and out of the store and dining area. The vibe was super relaxed and friendly. Whether you're stopping in after a long hike, fueling up for an adventure, or just soaking in the beauty of the North Cascades, the Mazama Store delivers on all fronts. I just wish I was able to hike more in the mountains surrounding Mazama and/or that this place didn't close at 6pm! Overall, it is pretty rare to find a place that blends all that the Mazama Store is so effortlessly. It is a true gem and if you're even thinking about passing through Mazama, make this a non-negotiable stop. And, of course, do yourself a favor - grab an extra sea salt baguette... you'll thank me later!

It's…read moreone of those places that draws you in with the smell of fresh baked pastries and it's kind of one of the only places to eat in Stehekin!!! On day one, my friend and I made a pitstop during a bike ride and split the marionberry pop tart which was huge and as delicious as it sounds - flaky and not overly sweet. The next day, we went back and shared the cinnamon bun (which lives up to the hype) and a slice of quiche that was flavorful, filling, and a great balance of hearty and light. I also ordered a hot latte which gave me the energy I needed for another day of exploring! The service was a little hit or miss - friendly but inconsistent. I can understand, though, as this place gets busy and the employees were very clearly working hard to keep up with orders. I appreciated the day old bin which is not only budget friendly but perfect for PCT hikers! The Stehekin Pastry Company felt like a true community hotspot as I saw locals, visitors, and PCT thru-hikers all gathering over coffee and baked goods. All in all, Stehekin Pastry Company is pretty much a must visit when you're in Stehekin. There is great food and a great atmosphere in one of the most beautiful, remote places you may ever visit. It's worth the wait!

Disappointed this location only offers 8oz and 12oz sizes. The coffee is above average with a great flavor and smooth finish. The eating area needs some additional ambience, it feels cold and not inviting as others. There is a nice retail area but very little branded retail items. Don't think sitting outside is the answer, with a huge parking area and NO asphalt or dust spray added, makes it just too dusty to enjoy your morning coffee or visit with friends. Fantastic service from everyone up front. Everyone is doing their job it appears. The restrooms are very clean. They lost one star because of the parking lot and latte sizes.
