    Restroom wall decor
    Priya J.

    We got there after a small hike near the Cascade Locks view point. Since we relied on the Colombia Gorge express , this place was located very conveniently (for us) near the CAT bus stop. Nice cozy coffee shop , only tried the coffees which turned out to be good . Service was quick (btw we were the only ones at around 3pm) . Bathroom was neat. This place has a unique decor all throughout and a good window seating . Only reason to drop a star from the rating : kind of felt odd that there was a sign about not letting kids destroy the puzzles etc . We didn't have any kids with us during the visit, but still felt a bit odd (maybe the business had a bad past experience but still ...)

    Stopped off to grab some coffee on a road trip. Thought it would be just okay coffee but we were in for a treat. This coffee shop was so cute! The lady working was very nice. I had a peppermint mocha with great flavor not to sweet could taste the fresh coffee. Also grabbed some chocolate covered espresso beans for a treat. I would absolutely recommend stopping if you are in town or passing through.

    Awesome coffee and excellent bagels! I came back for two more, ha ha!!! Such a cute coffee and breakfast spot with a good seating area.

    Breakfast sandwich. Left a lot to be desired.

    We needed a bite for breakfast before a nearby hike, so we thought we'd give Thirsty Cafe a try. We arrived around 8am Sunday, they had a customer outside and a couple inside. The place is cute, and I liked that they have a sidewalk window option. I ordered drip as my drink, and the coffee was very good. Unfortunately, these were the only positives we experienced this day. Our interactions with the staff weren't very pleasant unfortunately. The gentleman who took our order had a lip full of chewing tobacco...which is certainly his right, but can be (and was for us) a bit off-putting in a restaurant setting. Both he and one female employee, who was handing out food orders, came across as unhappy and disinterested. Another lady came outside to place plants on the table and counter, and even she looked unhappy. Bad day? We ordered my coffee, a latte, a breakfast sandwich, and burrito. Once we ordered we stepped aside. After a bit of a wait a burrito was announced and set outside on the counter, and as we'd ordered one and were the only customers outside, we assumed it was ours. We overheard, however, that it was meant for an inside customer. Rather than pull it back in they left it for us...which was another bummer, as the rest of our order took an exorbitant amount of time resulting in the burrito being cold once we got to eat. As for taste, the burrito was decent, would've been better hot of course, and was fairly small compared to most breakfast burritos we've had. The breakfast sandwich was simply not good. It was on a bagel, which was neither toasted nor grilled. Inside was a relatively thin slice of egg, 2 slices of Canadian bacon, and cream cheese. The trouble was mostly in the ratios: the amount of cream cheese was surprising, so much cream cheese on both sides that it was sliding out as I tried to eat it and completely overtook the taste of the sandwich. I actually love cream cheese, but I couldn't taste either of the other toppings...there was literally no flavor or taste at all except the cheese. Honestly I ended up eating half the bagel with the cream cheese and called it. It just wasn't enjoyable. I'm sad to say it was really a poor experience overall, but with good, hot drip coffee. There's always a chance that it was an off day for the food and the staff, but we weren't happy campers.

    This is not a burrito; it's more a large taco. Very misleading.

    Teeny tiny breakfast burrito -- for a full price. I should have read the other reviews here that mentioned the burritos were small. Anyways, the burrito I got was about one-third the size of a normal burrito, for about 90% the price. Definitely a case of shrinkflation. Something that Dollar Stores do to mislead their customers. Also, it was even freshly-made, but wrapped and heated in a microwave. One step above a gas station burrito. Gnarly cheese that resembled plastic, no flavor. No hot sauce offered either. I'm surprised they pull this, since their main customers are hikers coming through the Pacific Coast Trail and need calories to fuel their day. A much better breakfast is at the Bridgeside. A proper breakfast there is a buck more, $10.

    Very cute outdoor window ordering
    Angella G.

    Had the chance to visit this little cafe after a hike at Dry Creek Falls. The ladies inside were very friendly and I quickly felt that it was a family-owned cafe. They had a little walk-up window and made the beverages and foods right in front of you. It's quite a cute spot right in town. My only complaint about the place is, although the barista was wearing a mask, I did see what may have been her husband and son (or friends of theirs as they were quite comfortable) not wearing masks on all the way when they were inside even when they were making food. Coming from San Francisco, we are hyper-aware and it was quite a turn off. I think our fear is that even if YOU think you're safe, we see people catch covid all the time who we may have trusted. In order to protect people but still keep business alive, please be aware of your customers and wear a mask at all times. No one wants to be put in a position to toss out their food after seeing something like this or worse, having to confront a business owner who should know better.

    Coffee was good though
    Joenell B.

    So disappointed! This is such a cute coffee shop and had a horrible customer service there. I asked the barista about my order and she said it takes a long time. Ok well then that is something you should tell people up front especially if you are in hurry to be somewhere. The barista was RUDE and not very friendly at all to everyone. Plus the cashier looks like she didn't know how to multitask since she has to ring up and make the food as well. Considering it's Mother's Day, the sun is out and everyone is out, so getting a coffee and a snack should not be a 45 min wait. It took 30 mins to get my lemon loaf which was my 2nd item. I ordered 3 items and one got 2 of them after waiting so long then I walked out. People behind got their order and still waiting for my last item. Maybe I will try them again if I am back in the area. Coffee and lemon loaf was good though

    Thank goodness for Thirsty Cafe! We completed a gorgeous 6-mile hike in the pouring rain, and throughout the last 2 miles all we could talk about was wanting a hot mocha. We saw Thirsty Cafe on our way in and decided to give it a try. First off, the woman working was SUPER FRIENDLY. We enjoyed our chat very much. Most importantly, the mochas were DELICIOUS: Hot, flavorful, rich, and not too sweet. My mocha was definitely gone too quickly. We also got two breakfast burritos: one sausage and one chorizo. They were kind of bland and on the smaller side. The salsas served with them definitely helped, but we would not order the burritos again. The mochas? We *will* be back for those!

    So cute, bright and cheerful! Latte was perfect and loved the avacado toast. If in Cascade Locks, definitely worth the stop!

    The Tonya has the best homemade wrap I've ever tasted... A hint of coconut, and unlike most wraps,…read moreit doesn't overwhelm the rest of the sandwich. Delicious! My husband had the Italian, which he loved. My grandson had the grilled cheese and it was loaded with everything he loved, cheese! A fantastic discovery, as we were driving out of town.

    I have celiac and they assured me it would be safe for me to eat here. I know not all restaurants…read moreare trained in how to prepare food for allergies or celiac but this was the most absurd experience i've ever had eating at a restaurant. If it's not safe i'd rather someone just tell me. This kid wrote down "celiac" 3 different times acted like he understood what celiac was and the precautions. I think received my sandwich and asked if it was the gluten free bread, he looks at me like that was the craziest thing to ask. Takes it back comes back out with the gluten free bread on the same plate and told me to change the bread off the sandwich which is not at all how celiac works. He then took it back a third time after i asked for a refund and told me it was gluten free but it was the same bread as the first time. I know this review won't help everyone but hopefully it'll help someone. I saw a few other people with celiac said it was safe and i'm glad they had a good experience. But I got incredibly sick and it's insane to me that they didn't just tell me no. Will now be sick for 3 days so thanks.
