Great drinks! Great patio! Great vegetarian options! AND a band! A highlight of our trip. Highly recommend the tofu sopes and Beach Cruiser. Dog friendly patio! read more

There's always something with this place! So, tonight, after a 10 hour shift on a Sunday, I catch up to a birthday party in progress for my youngest girl's day care provider, who just turned 60. I'm over an hour late. 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!! read more

So good! I haven't been here in years and I've been wanting to come back. Very glad I did! The food tasted so fresh and yummy. We came on a Friday, so they had some brunch food. I had the burrito bowl of some sort, with pork barbacoa, eggs, beans, salsa, added guac, etc. and it was so delicious. I posted a photo online and all my friends wanted to know where I got it haha. I also had a half sweet vanilla latte and that was super good too! My daughter had their quesadilla, also very good. I have been in a slump lately with restaurants around me all tasting like the same Sysco crap, I'm not sure where kickstand gets their food, but it at least tasted fresh and homemade, and they had a good variety on their menu. Loved their patio seating, dog friendly, they turned on their mister right as we were leaving too, I'm sure that's nice on a hot day. Service was also great, the two people we interacted with were nice and I left feeling happy! Can't wait to come back! read more

We stopped in after the morning rush for breakfast before heading west to hike to several waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Needless to say, coffee was first priority, but we also were looking for a decent breakfast to keep us going. At 9 am on a Wednesday, we were the only customers in the place. The barista/waitress was very helpful answering questions about the menu, and even gave us a view tips on which waterfalls to visit. Our lattes were very good, but my Breakfast Sandwich with Barbacoa ranks as the absolute best breakfast sandwich I've ever sampled. Wow, such an incredible palate pleaser, and very large for a breakfast sandwich. I just wish I lived a lot closer! We hung out for 90 minutes waiting for the skies to clear before starting our day. Good wi-fi and comfortable surroundings. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Went here on our way home to Corvallis after being in Hood River for days.. I was met with immediate REGRET.. regret that we hadn't been coming here every day we were in town. We stopped in for coffee and to try the donuts to take on our way out and I actually went back and bought more of the maple bacon donuts to take back. The donuts are incredible and the coffee was great. I wish we would have gotten to try everything else but if we ever come back to Hood River this is a must stop! We went to two other coffee shops and they were really loud and just not what we were looking for.. this place was amazing with Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Great outdoor sitting. Was able to bring my dog. Friendly service with unique menu. Loved the cauliflower tacos and peach ice tea. read more

We had an absolutely unbelievably delicious breakfast in a warm and unassuming spot. Their outdoor patio suited us and our pup perfectly. We ordered at the counter - sweet crunchy liege waffles with berries and syrup along with an avocado eggs benedict on fresh corn masa sopes. Everything was scrumptious and fresh and I would come back again and again!! read more

Our dear friend Rachel recommended this place and she is always right. Everything from the cocktails, starter, entrees and dessert were delicious. We are only in town for the long weekend and are already planning to come back for breakfast. Such a cool concept and our server Sophia was the best! We ordered: Spicy margarita (husband loved it) A cranberry Tito's cocktail (refreshing) Chicken wings, spicy bbq sauce was awesome Kid's cheeseburger with fun twisty Jo-Jo's Kid's fried chicken with the same fries Pork Sopes - SO good Banh Mi Street Tacos Basque cheesecake read more

the food and coffee were pretty good here. the service wasn't bad and it was cool to look around the shop next door. but i could not believe the color of their matcha. the photo makes it look like milk, but in person it had a very slight green hue. that was the worst looking matcha i have ever seen. go here for food and coffee, but no matcha! read more

Stopped in to this unique coffee bar before exploring downtown Hood River. We had the coffee of the day which was Portland's Elevator Brand! The coffee had a non bitter sweet distinct flavor which we both really enjoyed. I like the idea that coffee is served in a nice mug. This is another fine coffee establishment which I will visit again! read more

I was fully committed to my burger, unwilling to put it down until it was all the way gone, burger juice running between my fingers, when I was startled by a complete disregard to cultural norms. (See image of psychology influenced colored light switches) When this guy was at Home Depot, the bright white bin must have been only one shelf away from the almond bin. Because thats a choice. This isn't creativity. This is psychopathy. I only can assume that what this switch does, is so bad, you mustn't speak of it and you certainly can't document it with a label maker. I might have just had lunch inside a future crime scene (minus one star), but otherwise great place. Bao buns were excellent and appropriately spiced for the PNW. read more

Super expensive for what you get. It's a meat oriented menu so if that's what you're looking for and you don't mind the cost then try it.

Excellent! Food, staff and atmosphere were all great! Just passing through but I would for sure be a regular if we lived closer.

Love the space and indoor-outdoor seating. Great food menu with lots of options, but personally found the actual food / flavor (at least of the sopes) to fall a bit flat. I'll def try again & would recommend checking out! read more

Consistently good food and service. Even their donuts are yummy. It's one of our go to places here.

This cafe had amazing coffee and awesome breakfast! The lattes were super creamy and delicious. My group got breakfast tacos, the Ricky Bobby, eggs Benedict, and avocado toast. All of our group was super satisfied. My breakfast tacos were two stuffed flour tortillas, with super well rendered bacon and the green chili salsa that came with it was flavorful. It was a great little breakfast spot for chill, indoor or outdoor dining. The mini-doughnuts at the front are also worth the stop alone! read more

We went to this cool spot for breakfast based off of other reviews. We were not disappointed. We shared a cinnamon sugar donut as an appetizer and then I had the Avocado Eggs Benedict which was SO DELICIOUS and my fiancé had the Auto Pilot and he really enjoyed it. The coffee was also really good. Employees were friendly and service was fast! Will definitely stop here again next time we are in town. read more

I have had Molé all over the map, this place makes some of the absolute best house made Molé ever! It's a brown Molé, smokey, salty, and spicy, I couldn't taste any hints of chocolate. I HIGHLY recommend the Molé fried chicken burger. The chicken is buttermilk fried chicken with fantastic crispiness. Service is excellent, everyone is friendly there. Easy going establishment where you seat yourself and order at the register. Outdoor seating is available too! read more

Amazing! I wanted a healthy and filling breakfast after a long walk with the pup and this was the spot. I am gluten free and vegetarian PLUS wanted to eat indoors with my dog, and this place checked all boxes. I got the carmelized onion omelette with a side of gf garlic bread and fruit. Amazing! The sauce, onions, and cheese were fantastic and it was a large portion for the price. They also had a quality fruit bowl with berries and oranges, not all melon! The garlic bread was divine. My dog enjoyed a puppuccino with some little treats in it, so fun. You order at a bar and put your own dishes away, but the servers are still pretty cool. One server chatted with us and told us all the cool spots in the area we should check out. Great sense of community here, I loved how kind everyone was and how much love my dog got. This is a place I would come back to over and over again. read more

The instructions here are grab a menu, grab a seat, but then order at the counter, so if you get up to order, you might lose your table. They offer a small but good variety on their menu. I ordered their breakfast tacos on corn tortillas with guac. It was good, but very messy and a bit on the spicy side. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Not much customer service, you see them when you order and drop off your food. Prices are reasonable. read more

We came here twice in one day! We initially came for an early lunch (11am) hoping for a burger. Much to our dismay they serve breakfast until 1pm and didn't offer any other menus. We reluctantly ordered breakfast and it was honestly so good. Great portion sizes too! Wish it came with some sides tho! We were on our way home and decided to go back for the burgers we were dreaming about and WOW! So delicious. The only thing missing for me was a fresh herb heavy ranch dip. Was a great experience overall! If they figure out the cruddy parking situation it would be a 10/10. read more

The food is delicious here. Their secret weapon is the pickled onions. My favorite dish so far has been the barbacoa sopes. My least favorite was poke bowl but even that was good. Service has been great and the ambience is chill. I'm heading there now, again. read more

Came here based on a local's recommendation during lunch time. When I arrived, I noticed the parking was limited and the coffee kitchen was actually connected to a bike shop. I walked through their open garage door, grabbed a menu, and sat down. Once I was ready to order, I went up to their bar to order all following their instructional sign. I ordered a lavender matcha latte and a banh mi street taco. The lavender matcha was well balanced and not too sweet, the way I like my drinks. The bank mi street tacos (2) was okay. Think they put a bit too much fish sauce on their chicken, and the pickled veggies want enough to balance the flavor. I still thought this was a nice establishment to check out for a quick work lunch or coffee. read more

Pit stop in Hood River on the way to AND the way back from the coast. Breakfast we tried the avocado toast with an over easy egg, the creamiest latte, mole chilaquiles and chorizo burrito bowl. For lunch on the way home we had the Banh Mi Street tacos and the Ensenada La Bomba salad. Every dish was super fresh and loaded with flavor! Very friendly staff! Would die to have this fun spot in my own town. read more

4 years after my first visit, still as amazing as I remember! Stand out items were the chicken sandwich + fries (holy moly the curly fries!!), the chicken wings (the sweet tangy sauce and tender chicken combo wow), and the fried chicken tacos (super innovative how they added the brussel sprouts in there!). Service is friendly and quick. Parking wasn't bad but we also came at 2pm on a Sunday. Come one, come all this place is super cute and food is delicious :) read more

I've always had a great experience at kickstand. It's by go to when in hidden river. Great good, service, live music if you're lucky. Very nice space as well with open indoor seating and a patio. Good meat options for me and veggie for my wife. Love it. read more

Really yummy spot! A little high in pricing but large portions and really good flavor. Outdoor seating is cute, it was a nice sunny day so we took advantage. We came for breakfast but missed out cause it's over at 11am and we got there at 12. All the food looked good looking around at other people's plates. Coffee was also very good! read more

I'd like to start with the donut. Yes I had the mole chilaquiles and they were wonderful. Yes he had something else, no I can't remember, yes he did love it. But the special little pre meal treat was that chocolate donut. Most perfect. This is our second time here and always when we are passing through. It won't be our last visit, nor last donut to enjoy. read more

We came here for dinner and it was one of our favorite meals of the trip! Good service and a nice patio to eat outside. We got the Mexican food, and it was VERY good. My husband and I shared, and we still had leftovers to take home. Bonus points for the cool little local guidebooks at the tables. A very personal and interesting touch. read more

What a fun restaurant a bit tucked away into a neighborhood on the side of a (really cool) bike store. Good service, nice beer and mimosa, and inventive breakfast. I had the barbacoa Benedict, and my husband had something called Ricky Bobby (would love to know the story behind that name). Both were delicious with completely different flavor profiles from each other. I'd love to come back to try more than the brunch menu. read more

Just had one of the best chili rellanos ever! A favorite spot in Hood River and service is always great!

Another neat spot to checkout in Hood River for brunch. Iced coffee was delicious. Service unfortunately was slow but they were packed and it was Father's Day. We didn't mind hanging out and catching up with family. Food was tasty, different and we will be back! No pictures because we ate EVERY LAST BITE! read more

Large outdoor patio with a hard to warm up to fire pit. Tables need a good scrub down & rinse. Pup friendly. Service ~ meh. Almost self-serve everything besides the food brought out to you. All the staff needs to do at this point is welcome guests and a simple smile. Not performed. Interesting menu ~ Indian flair, good solid kick of spice. The value ~ sandwich came with 2 fries, pizza palm sized. A spot or two for parking? Will have to park a block away off the street for most. Neighborhood chill joint, great for a beer after a hike. read more

Kickstand Coffee & Kitchen was a hit for me and my friends, we wanted somewhere to eat after hiking and saw they had a cheeseburger with onion bacon jam & goat cheese that we needed to try & it was bomb! The meat was perfect and all the tastes flowed perfectly, the fries were very filling & they had 2 kinds of aioli to dip in and both options were delicious! For appetizer we got the guacamole trio and it came with 3 guac flavors and seasoned tostada shells that were delicious! We were to full for desert but next time I'm out that way I'll definitely give the cheesecake a try. read more
