Crema's Take
“The Forge Coffee is a rare find where serious, high-quality espresso meets genuine hospitality in a beautifully designed space that feels both polished and welcoming. The owner and baristas clearly pour their hearts into every drink, earning consistent praise from coffee professionals and casual visitors alike, while the in-house bakery and deli add an extra layer of destination-worthiness that makes it worth a detour through Hood River. It's the kind of place where you'll overhear conversations about their creatively named signature drinks while the aroma of expertly pulled shots and fresh pastries fills a genuinely cool atmosphere.”

Big city coffee with small town service. The owner is lovely, the staff are attentive and friendly, and the food and drinks are divine. If you find yourself passing through it’s well worth the short detour off of 197 to grab a drink and a quick bite.
The new location is coming along nicely! The drinks are somehow even better than before! You ladies are awesome!!!
The coffee was absolutely amazing. I’m a barista and I tend to be pretty particular about how my drinks taste and this place was phenomenal. The baristas were also extremely kind, I needed some water for my dog and they gave me a nice bowl to use for my small dog. Along with all of that, their breakfast sandwiches are to die for!!!
This place is a hidden gem, and if you are anywhere near, you should go. The coffee was some of the best I've had, (with some awesome names for thier blended drinks) and the store has a fantastic atmosphere. We loved it. 10/10 going back.
Really great high quality coffee in a super cool store, lots of goodies from their in-building bakery and deli. The coffee shop has both fruit and coffee smoothies, awesome espresso drinks, and good tea options. Get a punch card because you'll be back!
