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.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

The ladies at The Forge are uh-maze-ing! You're going to love them. By far and away, the family favorite breakfast sandwich is their Sasquatch Breakfast Sandwich, coming on a freshly made english muffin, slathered in a delightful pesto aioli, stacked with sausage, bacon, eggs,…

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.
