Love the espresso here - full flavor but not punch-u-in-the-face bold. And so nice to see it served in a ceramic. Haven't had that pleasure since the world went into lockdown in March 2020. This spot is nicely tucked at the end of main street Hood River. Outdoor seating is fantastic. They serve sandwiches on paninis. Can't beat that.

It's surprising that they don't position themselves more as an amazing bakery because they have some killer whole wheat orange cranberry and maple bacon scones, Nutella croissants and hot-out-of-the-oven coconut chocolate chip cookies. And of course a few gluten-free options. My fancy English breakfast tea was served in a proper ceramic pot with a generous portion of milk on the side, just the way I like it. The avocado toast with thin tomato slices, feta and a sprinkle of lemon & pepper is scrumptious! Staff are very friendly and helpful. One negative for me - I was dying for fresh baked goods with walnuts or pecans and there were none. I think all the allergies to peanuts have made bakeries gun shy of all nuts😔.
