Our drinks were delicious! We got a specialty latte, an espresso that was perfectly bitter, and a butterbeer. If we didn't already have lunch plans we would have eaten here because the food looks and sounds amazing. Highly recommend!

Stayed in the gorge for the weekend from Portland and this was by far the best coffee we got! It was fun to chat with the owner, she was super sweet and friendly. Definitely will stop again on our drives through the gorge, and excited for the brick and mortar shop they’re building out!

This cute cart is exactly what you need to start your day-the coffee tastes delicious and the girl that was working was super friendly and has great memory. She made us feel like regulars, which is much appreciated!

Stumbled upon this gem nestled right off the road—perfect for passersby like myself. The vibe is peaceful, and the setting couldn’t be more inviting. The barista was incredibly personable and made me feel right at home. I ordered the açaí bowl and wow—packed full of flavor and beautifully presented. Also grabbed a chocolate chip cookie that was soft, warm, and definitely shareable (though I could’ve eaten the whole thing myself!). The avocado toast was next level—the fresh fruit on top and touch of balsamic really elevated it. While I waited, I took a short stroll in the small park next door—such a nice touch. Even the other patrons were friendly and chatty; you can tell it’s a local favorite. I drove in all the way from Dallas, Texas, headed to Seattle and this spot made every mile worth it. Can’t wait to come back!

A wonderful little coffee shop in Cascade Locks! The owner is super friendly and we had a great conversation while she was making coffee. My mom and I both got Mochas and they tasted awesome! I also had a bagel and the cream cheese was great as well, I wouldn't be surprised if it was locally sourced. My new go to coffee cart every time I'm passing through this cute little town. Thank you for the pick me up and great conversation!
