    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!

    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.

    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

I ordered a black coffee and P2 had their iced vanilla latte. The prices here are very reasonable, which we greatly appreciate! This place is on the small side and there was a line ahead of us and behind us. It didn't take too long to order and pick up our drinks when they were ready.

My husband got a cappuccino and I tried the seasonal cold brew with very foam. I like my coffee a little deeper, stronger flavor profile and I think their coffee was a bit on the lighter fruitier side. Still yummy tho! They had plenty of milk alternative including hemp which I found interesting. Pricing was fair. Wouldn't mind stopping by again if I was already in the area.

    We've been here twice, both times to grab sandwiches after a morning of hiking in the Gorge…read more They have a pretty big menu and offer options with soups, salads, and sandwiches, which I love! 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!

First impression, the young woman at the counter was not welcoming or even friendly, yet physically pushed the tip jar towards my husband as he was preparing to run his card. Never a good look. Next, our waffle and sandwich arrive. Both have been great on other visits, this time drastically different. The egg sandwich was almost flavorless, but our waffle was an epic fail. It seemed quite pale when he set it down, but starving I cut off a large bite immediately, only to find out what raw sourdough tastes like...and it's not pleasant. My husband took it back up to the counter, receiving no regrets & no letting us know they'd get another started. We finished our coffees and sandwich and waited; after 15 minutes he went back to peek in the kitchen at which point an employee walked to the iron and out it came. Only this time it wasn't just extra crunchy, it was so overcooked there was no longer a center. Both still hungry, my husband washed down about 1/3 of the 2nd waffle and we headed out...again, still hungry. Luckily the one positive, I'd ordered a cinnamon roll to-go with our order to enjoy later and it was very good. We hadn't been here since they'd done a remodel and the place was clean and looked good, but service needed way more than a little work on our visit.
