    Cool door handle
    Karl A.

    Ground is a cool shop. We came in and everything was neat and clean. We put our order in and had our coffees in just a few minutes. The coffee was okay. The brews were good, just not the members I've had. We drank our coffees there and had a pleasant time. Great service, good coffee!

    Definitely the best place to drop in for pastries, coffee, and lounging in Hood River, Oregon. Exit 63! We were here a few years ago while passing through- on our way to Boise from Gresham. Believe me when I say the baristas are genuinely friendly and chill. That's my favorite part. There is plenty of parking outside and seating inside. I ordered the same cinnamon roll that I had a few years ago. It's between a cinnamon roll and a croissant ... flaky, crispy and soft in the middle. I really love the swivel chairs around the counter. It gives this coffee shop and Old Cafe feeling. I had to show the barista my Yelp video from 7 years panning the coffee shop. Now I have a new one. On this beautiful Tuesday, there are plenty of customers enjoying themselves just like we are.

    Ordered a mocha to-go online. It was ready when I arrived and I found street parking out front. The flavor was not my favorite as it seemed to be more of a dark roast. Maybe there are better things to order than what I ordered!

    No Dog Owners Allowed

    Coffee was good. Service is hit or miss. When mom, dad, and the kids are ordering you can forget it. The staff doesn't redirect them out of the way until they are ready to order. Instead, the place comes to a standstill while everybody waits. I've tried Ground a few times and on occasion had to leave for Doppio Coffee in order to get timely service. "No Dog People Allowed" sign on the front door. That's an unwelcoming sign. There's room for a "No Kids or Goats" sign, but they didn't put one of those on the door. I wonder why?

    20oz Iced Quad Shot White Mocha with Oat Milk. Soooooo good!!!

    Stopped in Hood River for a coffee break on the way to Pendleton and I'm so glad we did! We ordered two 20oz Iced Quad shot White Mochas with oat milk that had what seemed like thick homemade whipped cream and they were amazing!! Hands down the best Iced White Mocha I've ever had!!! Service was quick and employees were friendly! I also loved the vibe of the place and design/decor. The only problem is Ground coffee shop is 5hrs from where I live so I won't get to enjoy that amazing coffee very often.

    Had a small iced latte and pecan scones. I could have that scone everyday of life and never be tired of it... Go get one for yourself.

    The Honeybee Latte (lavender and honey) was perfectly balanced.

    I can see why this place has great reviews because it's trendy without even trying. Wait staff are great and the product was very good.

    Special coffee drink menu

    Ground holds down the Eastern end of Oak, a Hood River main street before it turns to cross the Hood River. With their logo and sturdy fiberglass scoop chairs, they are referencing mid-century modern. They are in a vintage building marked by a plaque as the Yasui Brothers Mercantioe Built in 1930. There is a selection of outdoor seating facing South on Oak or in their North courtyard. With coffee, they have a selection of pastries, soup (in the cool months) salads and sandwiches. They have a seasonal special drink chalkboard menu. I had the vegan berry almond muffin which was full of flavor and the Tokyo Drip which wasn't too sweet. If course you can add more sweetening if you want more. I'm not a breakfast sandwich person but they have many choices there. They have a collection of small local artworks for sale. Mushrooms are the rage in art now as you can see. They also have some local small production foods like Wally's hot sauce and they use it in house too in the customer condiment options. It's counter service, so very fast.

    One of the only local coffee shops that opens early! We were glad to be able to grab drinks before we headed out of town. My vanilla cardamom coffee was delish! Husband's Americano was weak, so maybe ask for an extra shot?

    These people make good coffee. When I say "coffee" I mean cappuccino (as I've written before; I guess I'm a cappuccino snob?). Anyways, the cappuccino was good and the cookie was good. The only issue I had was the poor service from the two young girls behind the counter. The girl at the register was great, but the two in charge of putting together the order were sloppy. They were looking at a phone and were more interested in laughing and talking with each other than doing their job and giving customer service. I'll go back to this place ... hopefully the service will be better next time.

    Seating area on Sunday morning. Probably much more crowded in afternoons

We all got different sandwiches and every single one of us loved what we got. Wasn't too busy on a Friday morning, plenty of open seating. They did have pastries as well but did not partake. Ordered the bagel and lox which was amazing- came with all the fixings such as tomatoes, capers & red onions. The salmon was fresh and the bagel was nice and toasty, just the way I prefer. Got to taste the sandwich with the jam and loved it. Kind of wish I got that sandwich instead just cause of the jam. The bread was really good too- I think they were homemade english muffins. Everything on the sandwich was just chef's kiss! All of the employees were really nice. The place was clean as you have to "buss" your own table. Glad that people can follow directions. The drinks my group ordered came out piping hot and was served with a smile. Cool spot!

You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The dining space is bright with tons of seating. I love that they make their own bread!! It's super soft and such a nice touch. I usually go with the turkey which has turkey, white cheddar, tomato, pickles, onion, lettuce, and hot mustard. It was a bit spicier than I would have liked, not that it was too hot, but that flavor was really dominant for me so I'd probably modify it a bit in the future or just build my own . My daughter loved her ham sandwich which comes with sprouts, avocado, and cucumber. My husband also really liked his Italian and their clam chowder. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are hungry in the Gorge!

They have plenty of outdoor seating for your little pups, though the water dish they left out was unattended to. As far as food, they had a whole plant-based menu to meet my vegan needs. More important, they were able to make a gluten-free sandwich for my partner with celiac. They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!

Everyone else is already finishing up their drinks and meals. Wanting just one drink after a long day, I head to the bar! My wife asks me to get her one too. Here's where it gets bizarre. Kickstand has a bar...well, it looks like a bar. But what I found out is that it's just for looks because it doesn't act like a bar. I thought ordering two cocktails and paying for my drinks would be easy, like it is at every bar in town. But the bartender, I mean employee standing behind a bar, asked if I was with the large group. I stated, "yes, I was." Then she proceeded to tell me that the drinks would be on someone's tab. But I showed up late...I don't know what's happening. I don't know who's paying for the "tab". I just wanted to buy two drinks and walk away. But that wasn't allowed at Kickstand. Then another employee walks up and attempts to take my drink order. Super confused, I tell her the employee standing behind the bar just took my drink order. And then we proceeded down the tab conversation again. The second employee said because "we" were a party of 8 or more, I couldn't pay for my own drinks and I they would have to put it on the party's tab. But again, I don't know who owns the tab. If it was the woman having the birthday, I didn't want to add to her bill...on her birthday. Then they suggested I "could just Venmo" the party girl. No! I want to just order two drinks and have Kickstand take my money. Why wouldn't they just take my money?! The place was dead tonight, other than the 5 or so small daycarel families, sitting at their own tables, that made up the "party". I canceled my drink order and walked away out of protest and principal. When asked if I was with the big party, I should have said no I guess. Lesson leaned for next time, if there is a next time. Kickstand, you're so difficult and frustrating!!
