The matcha was a bit light for my taste and I didn't taste much of the jasmine syrup either. The breakfast burrito bowl was flavorful and I loved the pan fried cheese on top! It only comes with eggs, onions and cheese but you can add sausage, avocado and potatoes for an extra charge. The cafe itself is very cute and all the staff are very friendly. They have a few tables outside to soak up some sun on a nice day (like today!) Iced jasmine matcha: 4/10 way too light for me Breakfast burrito bowl: 7.5/10 Service: 10/10

They have a daily specials board with a specific drink each day for only $4.75. Wish all coffee shops had some kind of deal like that! They were all pretty unique drinks too. They also have their summer specials menu which had two coffee options, a blended lemonade, and a tea. I opted to try their Summer Send Tea which has a coconut cold foam over mango green tea. It looks like a cup of milk but it was actually quite refreshing as a cold tea latte! The coconut cold foam was unique but definitely gave the island vibe over the fruity tea.

Breakfast plates were great with many options to choose from. I had the burger one night for dinner and it was well prepared and very tasty.

This is one of our go-to spots on Hood River. We've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and…read moresomehow they manage to nail it every single time. Today's mission? Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!

Amazing textures! Juicy berries! It's yogurt with seeds, apples, raisins, honey, and banana BLENDED in, Cold Stone style, with fresh berries layered on top. I've been craving some sort of masterful yogurt/fruit concoction ever since I tried the forbidden orchard blueberries at Destroyer in LA, and this completely quenched that craving! And for less than half the price! The grains and seeds make it hearty and filling, and the fruit is perfectly juicy. 100% recommend. Breakfast sandwich #5 (egg, cheese, apple butter, caramelized onions) -- Tastes like autumn. One of the more unconventional breakfast sandwich ingredient combos, this little fella was actually very gentle on the tongue. It had just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for when you want dessert for breakfast but don't want to admit it. The bread was soft, and the sandwich as a whole was just very comforting. Hot mocha latte -- Rich chocolatey flavor. I would have liked it sweeter, but I do tend to like things sweeter than most people do. Whipped cream on top was yummy. Service was quick. It wasn't too busy so that definitely helped. There are plenty of outlets and places to sit. Peaceful, upscale environment with lots of outdoor space. Loved it!

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!
