My friends and I made a quick stop here on our way to the Gorge for a concert and were pleasantly surprised. Great coffee, plus a nice selection of both sweet and savory bites. Would definitely stop again! read more

When I ordered a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, I wasn't expecting it to be Jimmy Dean's! She pulled it right out of the package and popped it in the microwave. I think the gas station next-door was serving butter breakfast sandwiches, then Holsteins! read more

First time stopping in. We expected to leave with a couple lattes, and we did...but also with 5 Christmas ornaments. Unexpected by all means! They've just randomly got multiple shelves of a unique mix of older Hallmark ornaments. The sign said last years, but they seemed older to me. I was just happy to find a few of Peanuts I actually didn't already have! As for the service it was cordial. As for the coffees, they were tasty, hot, and strong. Overall a good stop. read more

This is a perfect place to stop through The Dalles for coffee and fuel (next door). I've been here several times passing through between Salem and Idaho and have never had an unpleasant experience. The Holstein's staff, no matter who has been working, always greets me with a smile and a quick hello, even when they are busy helping others before me. They offer several excellent choices for the coffee lover, and no matter what my choice of the day is, it's always been well made. I love that when I ask for extra hot, it's actually extra hot. I need this or I'll drink it away before I leave the parking lot! There is a drive through on the west side of the building if you prefer not to exit the vehicle, but there is plenty of parking around if you need to get out and stretch your legs. read more

Coffee was great but the breakfast is microwaveable. Very very mid. Should be cheaper for what you're getting in terms of food. Happy about the coffee though! read more

I consider myself to be a coffee enthusiast. I judge coffee many different ways. Having been a barista I do have a little bit of a clue. When traveling I normally order a blended mocha. Coffee here is okay, definitely not the best but definitely not the worst. The girls working the drive through were very nice. Considering I about choked when I pulled up to the window and they told me it would be almost $18 for 2 - 16oz blended mocha's. Are you kidding me ? $9 for one with coconut milk and $8 for regular both with out whip! I realize prices have gone up and this is a small town but that's ridiculous! Yes, we did leave a tip, pricing isn't the employees fault. ‍ read more

We dropped-in on the Holstein Friday midday and were so pleased with our beverages, we stopped again Sunday mid-morning. Owner Craig made the coffees but we found the conversation equally welcome. Thanks Craig, Matt & Susan from NE Wa. read more

So will say my experience ended here long ago. Will be frank the manager at the time was Leslie she is a sweetheart a good heart and extremely chill and fun person if I ever manage to see her again I'll probably smile but her a drink and if she is feeling chill catch up. The owners on the other hand dear God the man is a miserable person he talks in such a way like he is absolutely hating his life didn't think of how until I met his wife a short woman with glasses and now I understand why. She is bat shit crazy and the worst service ever. The coffee business is a reflection of the owners and they made a beautiful shop one where no one feels welcomed unless you're a regular. read more

This place is usually amazing, but the blond that worked there today was extremely rude. My first really negative experience in years.

I never go to Holstein's but decided to stop by one day for a lemonade. Let's just say, I'm going to keep avoiding the place. I stopped by for a 20oz lemonade and received a 16oz, while still being charged for 20oz. The blonde girl at the window looked at me, laughed, and had her co-worker deal with me. She could still be heard giggling in the background. I didn't like that crap in high school and I don't like it now. I'll keep getting my daily grind elsewhere. read more

I love their blended mocha! It's the best in town in my opinion. 24 ounces of bliss. The people are nice when going through the drive-thru and service is quick. read more

This is disappointing . We've been stopping here for a couple years on our way through. It's always been a nice place. Today though, there was a older man running the machine. He was very unfriendly and unkind. The man in front of me asked for a little extra cream in his coffee. The man ROLLED HIS EYES! My husband and I then placed our order. It was about $20. As the girl was making my smoothie I said I forgot to add an extra shot. He told me it was too late! So after I got my smoothie I spent $3 for another shot. To add a shot to a drink as an extra is only $1. But I was made to pay the $3. THEN, after my husband put the dog in the car he ran back in to use the restroom. The old man HARRASSED HIM! He implied my husband needed to buy something!! We had already spent $23. We left feeling very sad at the way this man treats people. I will be finding another coffee stop on our regular 400 mile trip. read more

Drive thru or walk in. Friendly. Enjoyed socializing. Prices were good. Food and drinks

Love this place!!! Great coffee, great food, and excellent service! I would have to say this is the best roasted coffee in town. read more

Holstein's coffee was probably the most delicious brew I've had in months. Perfectly flavored and fresh, the right temperature and a free refill. Their breakfast croissant sandwich was wonderful and their little dining room is cozy and comfortable. The two women on staff this morning couldn't have been nicer - answering questions and filling me in on some local color. Great place to refresh after a great night camping along the Columbia! read more

Coffee was good. Barista was nice but whoever in charge at the store when we visited last Saturday was extremely rude to us.

I was introduced to the Kona Mocha shake many years ago by a friend. Ever since, I have always arranged my travels to go through the Dalles just to partake of this wonderful beverage. Last friday, I stopped and ordered 4 of them, so I could take 3 back to my family about 90 minute drive away. I told the barista of what I wanted to do, gave them a bag, they filled it with ice and helped me put in 3 of the drinks and didn't charge me extra. I have always been very happy with Holstein's and will continue to plan my driving trips to stop by there. read more

Delicious coffee. I ordered a ham croissant sandwich and a 12oz Quad americano. The espresso was strong and smooth. It didn't have the bite that most quad americanos of that size would have. I added a little cream and dose of honey to it (not that the coffee needed it) and it was perfect. Quality of drink aside, the owner is quite gregarious and a lifelong resident of the Gorge. He is one of the most life-filled people I have had the pleasure of meeting in The Dalles! I wish the best for the place and recommend it to anyone passing through that wants to enjoy a solid cup of coffee. read more

Great coffee. Fast, friendly service. Just want a person needs.

Just left this coffee drive through. my family and I love their smoothies and I really like their coffee. However, at this visit the line was slow and we were talking about how the inside lookEd busy and maybe they were short staffed. No big deal. The gal at the window said they put the wrong milk in my coffee- I would have drank it but she was in a hurry and whisk it away with an eye roll before I could tell her. she brought the new one and my husband said " looks like you're really slammed!" - trying to be sympathetic. The lady said " yeah and I'm 4 employees short" before either of us could sympathiz, she said "bye" with a scowl and literally SLAMMED the drive through window. We will not be back- EVER. read more

Don't get here too often but every time I stop the coffee is well made and the service is friendly. The shots are not weak like some places (Dutch Bros). read more

Probably the best tasting coffee in town I've had thus far, hands down. The inside seems like a great place to hang out, too. My only complaint is it is out of the way on my commute to work, lol. Check em out! You probably won't be disappointed. read more

I always stop here on my way the the coast from Idaho. This is the real deal coffee place. No hyped up over commercialized establishment. Great coffee and great service. read more

Dropped in for coffee and it's excellent! Great bfast sandwich, too. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

For me Holsteins' is as good as it gets. I have been coming in here, shall we say, for a long time. Just passing by on my way to or from the west side. Just stop and get coffee. The Mexican LaPluma brewed is right in my wheelhouse. I have purchased a couple delicacies from time to time, all of which were excellent. Always clean bathroom and friendly people. What's not to like? read more

Stopped by Holstein's for a quick breakfast and pee when driving from northern California to North Carolina. There were vegan options for me, along with vegetarian and omni choices for the rest of my family. I ate some banana-chocolate muesli, then grabbed some locally made vegan treats for the road. They were kind enough to let me fill up all of my water bottles, too. I wish I could have stayed longer - the cafe is stocked with books and board games, along with some large, comfy chairs. Looks like a great place to study! read more

Holstein's has been my go to spot to stop for coffee when I'm traveling through the Gorge. However, the last few times I have visited the male owner has been so rude to customers and employees I will never go back! I never leave bad reviews but this owner acted like the customers were inconveniencing him, shouting at them and talking down to people. read more

We used to stop by this place on our way to Idaho. The coffee was never amazing but better than most of the chains out there. On our last visit the owner was working and I saw how he treated his employees and I won't go back. I rarely leave negative reviews as I like to give the benefit of the doubt and assume it was just a one time thing. But as a business owner myself I thinks it unacceptable to treat employees like this. read more

Their pastries and drinks are amazing, but their service is not! I get the feeling they only hire cute girls and then beat them in the back room later. The staff has always (I've come here while desparate over the last decade) been young and attractive females with bad attitudes! read more

Thank you for selling us a cup of coffee after 4pm....the Grinder down the street said they didn't sell coffee after 4! Go figure. Glad Holsteins was down the street. read more

The coffee was bitter and kind of tasted burnt. The staff was pretty short with us, not very friendly. I guess they only cater to the regulars? And I guess this is why I only go here once a year. Still always the same service. read more

Stopped in at this place as we traveled through on a trip along I-84. Easy to get to with inside seating and wifi and a drive-thru also. Locals had directed us and said the coffee was excellent. We agree! Bought a couple of lattés and they were nicely done. All sorts of pastries were available but we didn't sample them. We would head back here when next we move through the Dalles on a trip or visit. read more

Tried this place today and wasn't a fan. The Seattle bakery pastry I purchased was so stale! There was no exp. date on package so who know how long it was there. The coffee? Not good. Burnt and lacking in any flavor. Never again. read more

Not sure why this place has such bad ratings. I came here after seeing the sign while stopped for gas. Hungry and desperate for caffeine, this looked like a viable option. Lots of drink options, and the batista did a great job on mine. I'm difficult because I don't like a ton of sugar, but I do like slightly sweet. The two ladies working were also super sweet. Oh, and the inside is has a very relaxing feel. read more

Passing through town, popped in on a whim after getting gas. They made me a delicious cappuccino to enjoy in the sun on their patio, and gave me lots of friendly ideas of things to check out with warmly awesome smiles. Highlight of the day so far! read more

Very easy to find for passing travelers. The coffee was okay, if you like more bitter roasts, not what I prefer.

It's tradition for my mom and I to stop here on our way driving east. Been doing it for years and years. While it's not the world's best coffee I've ever had, it's really good, the staff is very friendly and it has a great vibe to it. I also love that it's either drive-thru or walk in. read more

It's just okay. The coffee is passible. The service is passible (I feel like I'm intruding on someone's turf, though). If you're a regular it's all smiles and "hey, how are you!" They're not unfriendly, just not "glad you're here" friendly. The acoustics in there are awful - loud! The seating is awful unless you're on the couch. Outdoor seating is hard on the bum, too. The parking lot is shared with a gas station and food mart, and it's a disaster waiting to happen, so drive slowly and look around before you pull out. read more

Perfect place to stop for coffee while on a trip. Friendly, inviting. Scones are great
