Unfortunately our experience went south from previous visits. I was first in the door Saturday morning for coffees. I ordered a drip and a latte from one of 2 young guys working the counter. The customers behind me received a latte before even my drip was ready and they proceeded to take the orders of multiple customers before starting mine. They finally decided to fill a drip and hand it to me, at which point I reminded them I ordered a latte as well. After a quick "I know" our latte was started. Not very proficient. My husband was waiting on our food next door, and although we ordered at exactly the same time, the food was actually ready before our 2 coffees. Most disappointing was the actual coffees...the drip was very weak but had lots of grounds, and my husband did not enjoy his latte, not sure what was off there but it was very weak too. Definitely not the experience we've had here in the past. read more

Came here after our hood to coast start and man were the sandwiches here special! I had no idea how good this would be until I took that first bite, then I was SOLD. Super tasty and huge portion sizes. I love the avalanche - good balance of meat and avocado and aioli to make a super tasty and crunchy sandwich that is good for two meals in one. Service takes some time for the food to come out - simple seating and arcade in the back. read more

High Mountain Cafe - Avalanche - Cafes Near Me - Government Camp, Oregon

Awesome cafe in Government Camp, great for lunch after skiing. Hours are a little limited but food is really good. I got the alpenglow sandwich which was enormous. Really good. Breakfast looks really good as well; they only have the breakfast stuff before 11 though according to the signs. Definitely worth a stop for breakfast or lunch. Very convenient and lots of seating; great customer service. read more

Great little spot at an attempt to eat healthy on our time away from Portland up on Mt Hood. Inwill say their sandwiches are flipping huge, its a real massive spot to get for such a good price. We ended up getting a Ruben type sandwich and a turkey club of sorts and they both were quite good for the standard sandwich descriptions in the menu and I was pleased with what came out of the kitchen. This place is just a 10 minute drive from timberline and the small amount of effort will save you a pocket full of cash, they have quick turn around even with a line and alot of drinks that wouldn't be available anywhere else (Kombucha life boi) fresh, simple to the point a no brainer if you're trying to escape the row of barfood read more

This is a great place to stop and get a bite to eat and sobering to drink while you take in the beautiful town.

Stopped by on a beautiful day. Had the Baked Potato with the works. It had the usual butter, bacon, and sour cream. The creative chef also added roasted vegetables. Will order that again! My husband had the double cheeseburger which he "Pythoned" down. Add on their unusual sparkling iced tea with a splash of lemonade on top. Great summer meal! Friendly, welcoming staff. Eat inside or out with a view of Mt Hood. read more

Garbage! Nice enough folks, but I stopped in to eat, not chat. Simple place. Good for a coffee when the espresso machine is not broken. Burritos are ok. Grilled cheese is impossible to destroy, but a Ruben made with GROUND corned beef, for $16.00? Ugh. Couldn't locate any Swiss or sauerkraut, for the record. Keep driving unless you're absolutely desperate. read more

If you're gonna charge me $15 for a grilled cheese with tomato soup, at least put something better than Kraft singles on the sandwich and use something better than canned soup. Been a long time since I stopped eating a meal because it was so unappetizing. read more

This place is solid for Government Camp, which has a small selection of food options. We got takeout sandwiches (we both got the Avalanche which is a cold turkey sandwich.) I appreciated the thick, toasted bread and the pesto on it was tasty. It comes with a small bag of potato chips. The sandwiches were solid and made fresh. The employees were nice. I don't normally complain about prices, but $15.50 for a turkey sandwich meant that two sandwiches plus two cookies each plus a tip was a $40 lunch. If you need a good sandwich in Govy, this is a good bet, just be prepared to drop some dough (pun intended.) read more

Within the options at Government Camp, High Mountain Cafe was a pretty solid option for our coffee and breakfast needs. The breakfast burrito for $10 is packed with egg, potatoes and sausage - big enough for 2-3 breakfasts. I recommend this massive burrito baby if you're hungry. The bagel egg sandwiches were also very generous - while the bagel wasn't the best (think typical grocery store bagel texture), it hit the spot after a late night. The coffee was alright - nothing to go out of your way for, but they do have a few different flavor options. This place also offers lunch sandwiches and cocktails. While not a top tier place compare to haunts back home, it's a solid four stars for the Government Camp area, compared to the options nearby. read more

Great place to catch brunch with family and has a arcade area to hangout. Definitely will be visiting again for the next trip! read more

Worth a stop, especially if you're looking for something "homemade" for a picnic or to-go! This is such a cute place & perfect to grab a couple sandwiches, beverages and something sweet for the trails on Mt. Hood. The ladies that work there are awesome and even when busy, crank out amazing sandwiches. Their ingredients are fresh & baked goods are always a treat. In the winter it's a nice place to stop for a hot drink after (or before) hitting the slopes & in the summer a relaxing spot if you score a sunny table on their balcony. read more

i broke my panini virginity here and it was honestly gr8 i typically dont eat bread but bruh this was so good i couldnt resist! wish i would have taken a picture of this life changing experience lol the owner/cook was incredibly nice and offered us a free for all on some of the breakfast foods on the hot bar he had leftover since he was closing soon. we got a free breakfast burrito and bacon egg and cheese bagel! he also had some veggie options as well that he offered us to take, which was incredibly nice of him! thank you kind stranger, hope to learn your name next time everything we had at this place was outstanding, and was just the meal we needed after a day at the mountain. yhe place is also very cozy and welcoming. we hope to revisit this place again next time we are up there, and continue to support this business! wish them all the best to for being such kind people during this time. this kind of generosity is pretty rare nowadays and we truly appreciate it! read more

We came in for a late lunch, and the place really wasn't busy but it took a long time for the food. First, the menu they display is wrong and you should ask first about any toppings not listed on the printed menu! Second, the individual making the sandwiches was extremely rude from the moment they walked in, snapping at customers multiple times. We got our food and when we pointed out the sandwich was made wrong - not according to the request. They threw the sandwich on the ground and blamed us for the error. Definitely will not be returning after the rude service and nasty behavior we witnessed. read more

One of our favorite breakfast spots in Govy Camp! Walk in, menu hanging above the chef's area on the right. Place your order at the register and listen for your name to be called. We're purposely up here on weekdays (Monday - Thursday), so we can avoid the chaos of too many weekend tourists. If you can manage to do the same, DO IT. The breakfast bagels here are tasty and their breakfast burrito could easily feed two folks. It's BIG & hearty. Great French toast dusted with powdered sugar too. I highly recommend the Hot Apple Pie adult beverage High Mountain offers. It's sweet and cidery and warms you from the inside with the magic of Tuaca. GLORIOUS. Got some young ones (or some young at heart grown ups) with you that need something to amuse them while you wait for your meals to be prepared? Send them to the back area where there is an extremely impressive arcade room, FULL of games. I didn't count how many they had when I was there last, but certainly at least a dozen. Bonus: They ALL WORK and are in excellent condition!! Dig in that purse for all the quarters you've got! Great staff. Lots of yum yums. Nice atmosphere. Enjoy! read more

High Mountain Cafe - Hot Apple Pie. Delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Government Camp, Oregon

I bought a Jubelale while waiting for our sleigh ride. The cafe also sold plenty of coffee and warm drinks, cocktails, pastries and cold sandwiches, but for me, nothing says snow day like a seasonal craft ale. $3.75 is an amazing good price for a craft beer nowadays! I also loved that the cafe had big, overstuffed leather sofas and a small electric fireplace to keep us warm while we waited. We were only here for a short time, but the service was good and it was nice to have somewhere to grab a drink and get warm at while we waited. read more

Basic breakfast. Got the veggie bagel. Not super flavorful. Small. And took forever. My friend got the alpine bagel also small and burnt bagel. read more

As we were entering it seemed the cafe was closed as lights were off and fan was not going on a sunny warm day, but a lady shouted from a car saying that she will inside on a few minutes to serve us. We came in looking for a good pastrami Rueben and we're willing to pay the $16 for it and $6 for a canned drink. The sandwich tasted alright but was missing most of the pastrami. There was only TRACES of meat on it! Quite the rip off. The $6 bottle of organic lemonade expires at the end of the month and tastes/smells like nail polish remover. The can of of Kombucha was tasty. One of the employees was nice but stingy for main ingredients on sandwich. Don't recommend it. Won't be back. read more

Fast and friendly service. Good sandwiches and nice selection of snacks and drinks! Also a simple and cozy atmosphere.

Hot chocolate mocha was pretty good, Grilled cheese was so so and the broccoli soup was just ok. Grilled steak sandwich with horseradishy sauce was yummy, lots of peppers. Staff was very friendly! read more

Only been here once so far, but I plan to come before every snowboarding trip to Mt. Hood from now on! I wasn't sure what to expect but I wanted some halfway decent breakfast before a day on the slopes. Pulled in here right around opening and it wasn't too busy yet. The lady who took my order at the counter was very friendly. I ordered the Alpine Slider and was very satisfied with the value for the money and the price. I got a made to order bagel sandwich that was huge! It was very good and very large and held me over until lunchtime, even going hard on the mountain. Can't wait to go back and try more options. Everything on their menu sounds great. read more

This place wasn't great. Beginning service was ok, decent menu options but small soup cup. I ordered grilled cheese w/broccoli and cheese soup and the cup was too small, there was no butter on the grilled cheese. Friend had a sandwich take a long time, bought a kombucha for $5 because there were no price listings for drinks. Not the best read more

Before I even had a chance to read the menu, she was already being rude about my dog. She could have asked nicely for service pets only but decided to jump straight into naggin b**** mode. I'm going to be around for a bit and thought it would be nice to swing by there every morning for coffee and breakfast but after her attitude, I couldn't trust that they wouldn't spit in my food or something similar. I just ordered a coffee and left. Bad decision... I should've just left. The coffee is disgusting! Tastes like they used the cheapest coffee and when they made it, yesterday, they used way too hot of water. It was expensive, like everything else around here but I couldn't choke down even half of it. They definitely won't get my money ever again. read more

Nice little local cafe in Government Camp near Mt. Hood. From what I could tell, it is the only sandwich shop in the town. We ordered 2 fresh sandwiches and both were STACKED high. They also offer a few ready-made items (including a vegan wrap). I ordered the veggie sandwich (the name escapes me) and asked them to make it vegan. The cashier was a bit confused by this but the woman making the sandwich understood (though wasn't entirely sure if certain items like sauces were vegan or not). Would love to see a few more vegan options but overall would recommend. read more

This little cafe was okay - but a bit of a disappointment. There was almost no one in the restaurant and the service seemed slow. The food was kind of bleah and we really expected better given we were strictly going on Yelp reviews. :( I wouldn't go back. Wish we had tried something else in our journey home from Hood River. read more

Not the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had, but pretty dang close! Long waits for service and food even though there were no other customers in the building. The "pastry case" was just Costco muffins and gas station quality donuts. Too bad this is one of the only breakfast options in Govy Camp. Two stars because the counter staff was nice and doing their best with what they had to work with. read more

We tried to have breakfast at a place across the street based on better reviews, but after seeing the dicey interior and stacks of meat setting out on an open counter where you walk in to be seated, we hightailed it out the door and spotted this cafe. The interior is cozy...a mash up of armchairs, standard diner tables and a couch. There is a small coffee bar that offers up spiked versions should you so desire to have a toddy or the like to warm your bones. Since we had kids with us, hot cocoa was the beverage of choice. The breakfast menu offers up biscuits and sausage gravy, breakfast sliders, omelets, a breakfast burrito, waffles and some light parfait options. I'd rate this place with an additional star if they'd simply had a few items we wanted to order! We tried to order biscuits and gravy and they were out of the gravy. We switched up to a burrito which was filled with sausage...isn't sausage gravy simple to whip up with a roux and some milk and sausage? The burrito was supposed to include homemade pico de gallo, which they also had run short on. It was also missing the sour cream. The sliders come on a choice of an everything bagel or a plain bagel. Only plain bagels were available. The fruit compote that can be ordered with the waffles was also not available so a plain waffle with syrup and butter was ordered instead. Overall, this is a solid option in Government Camp when you have some early morning hunger hitting you. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. I just ask that they ramp up on their supplies! read more

Very nice little cafe that is a great fix for coffee and food. The food came up very quickly, but the drinks took forever both mornings we were there. The biscuits and gravy were huge, even for a half order! Not the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had, but they definitely hit the spot on a cold winter morning. The bloody marys were nothing to write home about. Not spicy at all which is a crime in my book. We went in for Sunday breakfast around 10:00 and the place was packed - no where to sit. We ended up sitting in the ARCADE! It was weird, it was cool. Pretty fitting for Governement Camp which is a cool/weird/small mountain town. I would go back to High Mountain Cafe over and over based on the quick breakfast niche they fill in Government Camp. read more

High Mountain Cafe - There's an arcade! - Cafes Near Me - Government Camp, Oregon

For a tiny mountain town on a quiet day, this cafe was hopping! I was inspired to write this review because I was so impressed with Stephanie behind the coffee counter. The line was multiple people deep, yet she remained perfectly nonplussed. And she proceeded to craft incredibly tasty lattes and specialty drinks without missing a beat. She even smiled and chatted as she whipped up our orders in no time, seemingly with zero stress. Kudos to her! I should also add that the Turkey pesto premade wrap was an ideal, and quite tasty, grab&go lunch to fuel our snow day activities. read more

We enjoyed our breakfast burritos and coffee! They had sausage and gravy on special which my son enjoyed. The wait was not long at all and the service was so friendly! read more

The baked goods were sharing space in the refrigerator with the ham. To start with, that causes the baked goods to take on the flavor of the ham. Then there's the fact that refrigerating baked goods reduces their quality, and causes cold spots in the center. read more

Lousy coffee (sorry). Who doesn't know a cappuccino from a Latte in OR?? This town could use a good coffee shop!

Delicious, MASSIVE sandwiches, and good coffee! Super friendly service. Exactly what we needed after a long day of mountain biking. Will definitely be back! read more

I hate to give such a low review - this was a mixed result visit for us. First, we had breakfast. The Bagel Sandwich we ordered was slow to come out, and was falling apart from the beginning. The ingredients were fine, but mis-matched in size and the whole thing was unable to be eaten as a sandwich, really. There was a load of mayo on it as well, which seemed excessive. Our second order was a waffle with strawberries and cream. We opted for that because they only had imitation syrup, not real maple. Well, I wish I hadn't because the strawberries were clearly frozen and mush, and the whipped cream was all over the plate. Fun, but not really what we were looking for. The coffee was just average and in a to go cup, even though we were eating in. On the positive side, everyone here was very nice, and we took a HUGE sandwich with us to go. We wound up eating the sandwich at McNeil Point a few hours and several hiking miles later, where it was very satisfying, with fresh turkey and good toppings. We're mainly rating this as a breakfast place - I think for lunch or wraps it's pretty good. read more

I really like their breakfast bagels! Super great but a little slow as they make everything to order. Great little spot to get breakfast. Lunch is really only sandwiches and salad, and nothing too special. Would recommend breakfast instead. read more

Great food, service, and bubbly energy from the staff! Wife always loves her Acai bowl, and this one was the best we've ever seen!!! Couldn't even get the pic in before she started eating it lol!! read more
