Great place to get a treat in the Hood River area, especially after a long hike. It's located in this adorable little house. The line was long but moved quickly. No credit cards allowed, the sign has details on ways to pay - luckily my group had cash. There is no seating inside but plenty outside. The huckleberry milkshake was delicious! Not too sweet, super creamy, and you truly enjoy fresh pieces of huckleberry with every sip. read more

Super cute place to grab some ice cream, milkshake, or a sundae. Luckily had a few dollars but it's cash only. I never carry any cash anymore. There was no line. I Ordered the sundae & opted for the coconut, butter pecan & pistachio ice cream. It's so good! They accept IOU but I'm not sure how many people have actually paid up. There's a wall of Shame for those who don't pay up so just pay up plus who allows an IOU these days? So be sure to pay your IOU or just pay with cash. There's no seating indoor but some seating outside. They sell merchandise like caps & tshirts. There's street parking you can pay for. There's other shops nearby. Cute town. read more

Cash or Check "ONLY" Not sure what the hype is all about? I tasted the peach sorbet, chocolate and lemon. Just tasted sweet with the subtle flavors. I think Haagen Dazs tastes a lot better. But that's just me. Service was friendly. Getting ice cream from a little home. Great spot for the family and kids. read more

Same experience as I had for my last review. Tasty and cute, a solid 4 stars. Staff were really friendly and got us a bunch of samples. Their ice cream is from Prince Puckler's in Eugene. They were out of sugar cones (bummer) so I paid a little extra for a waffle cone. Got a baby scoop (still a lot, but next time I think I'd get the kids scoop) of the turtle and it was great. read more

What a cute spot! A walk in ice cream place with plenty of flavors to choose from. They also sell very cute merchandise as well (I was eyeing those baseball caps). I had the Mint Oreo & I loved it! Husband had raspberry cheesecake and he enjoyed it as well. They even let our dog have a pup cup (vanilla ice cream). They had plenty of outdoor seating which was so nice to just eat our ice cream and enjoy the evening. Note: they only take cash or check! read more

I always get the kids scoop and it is more than enough! They say the baby scoop is the size of a golf ball but it seems bigger than that actually. Cash only but they do IOUs!

Road-tripping through Oregon and staying a night at Hood River. When I searched for top destinations in Hood River - Mike's Ice Cream was highly recommended. I chuckled when I arrived and saw its business hours and realized why this spot is the "happening" spot in town (because everything else around the area is closed by 5pm). Loved the patio and the chairs, it was nice to sit, relax, chat and enjoy my double scoop ice cream on the waffle cone. The boys at the counter were really nice and patient and allowed me to sample several of their ice cream. The banana and coffee ice cream was delicious! Love this place. Definitely stop by for a scoop of ice cream if you are visiting this part of town. read more

This is a great local spot that has great ice cream, especially ice cream sundaes if you're into that type of thing and I had to get a Neapolitan one that's perfect for the spring or summertime weather. They have a great little selection. It's a small, very small little shop but cute and I am assuming this has been around for quite a while because I swear I've seen it when I was a kid but I could be wrong. This is a great staple of the community and it keeps going as the places here are local in the small town. read more

I usually love Mike's, and my daughters especially do. But today was one of my worst experiences in the 12 years I've lived here. The young angsty girl with the dyed bright red hair gave me one of the smallest scoops I've ever received. Then, I gave her a $20 bill to pay. When she gave me my change, I tipped her a $1, put the rest in my pocket, and walked out. When I got up the street amd went to put the change in my wallet, I relaized she had only given me $4.50 back. Thanks, Mike's. Enjoy your $11 tip, I guess. read more

A cute local spot in the town of Hood River. I've always seen a line through their doors but with such friendly service and yummy ice cream, it's not surprising why. They only take cash but are sooo eager for you to have your ice cream first that they're also open for you to mail in a check! Their ice cream flavors were straightforward but very well done. The Coffee ice cream was super rich and had a strong espresso taste. The Pistachio and Almond was also very nice. Loved the texture from the almond mix-ins. Totally would come back for more whenever I'm in town! read more

Best way to finish a day of shopping on Oak Street is a stop at Mike's for some really delicious ice cream! Located right next to the Ruddy Duck, there are lots of bright Adirondack chairs in shades of turquoise to sit and enjoy your dish or cone. They are generous with their servings and have the usual flavors plus unique offerings. Salted caramel is my fave and I tend to get it every time. On a warm summer day they get super crowded so make sure to bring your patience! They work through the line as fast as possible. We stopped by around 2pm recently and totally lucked out, being second in line. We moved a chair into the shade and enjoyed our cold and sweet treat while people watching and enjoying the crisp fall day. read more

There is a very good reason why there was a line outside of this little ice cream shop in Hood River. The folks inside were doing their best to get us in and out. Limited seating outside but we got lucky. I'll say that Galaxy ice cream is the way to go. Essentially a pumped up chocolate chip ice cream with big old chunks of dark and white chocolate. They are cash only but with a check option? Which we thought was a joke, but they do have something worked out with another store in the neighborhood. Compostable cups and spoons, so there's that. It was a good place to stop at after a great dinner up the street. Enjoy. Support local. read more

This place is adorable--it has a great vintage, rambling vibe. There's a teeny-tiny garden, crammed full of chairs of all sizes, perfect for chilling on a hot day. Our kiddo loved the garden; we had to go twice over our short trip to Hood River. In terms of the ice cream itself, none of the flavors we tried were particularly amazing, but we didn't mind. The vibe (and proximity to another Hood River favorite--The Children's Park) made Mike's Playground perfect for us. read more

The cutest lil small town ice cream shop I've ever been to! Lovely outdoor area with a plethora of benches & chairs to enjoy desserts. The service was fantastic. We didn't realize it was cash only & the sweet girl at the counter didn't hesitate to tell us "I'll give you an IOU!" Kindly dished up our order & gave us directions to a close by ATM. No rush on getting back to make our payment, she even said we could come the next day if that's easier. They've been doing this IOU business since the 80's she told me. They get their ice cream from a small local creamery in Eugene. It's super creamy & delicious. We got pumpkin pie & snickerdoodle. Both amazing. 10/10 recommend & will be stopping her every time I pass through. read more

An adorable little ice cream stop in Hood River that we made a point to come back to. Seems we weren't the only ones with this thought, as there was quite a crowd around and the workers were doing a great job running the line smoothly while being friendly. My partner's scoops of banana and galaxy were both very good and creamy. I ended up with the raspberry sorbet, because it was the only non-dairy option. Being lactose intolerant, I was quite disappointed there weren't more dairy free options (seems like I'm seeing a soy and/or coconut milk ice cream option pop up all over the place now). Anyways, I was not in the mood for a sorbet so I'm not sure if it was really just average or if I was just not in the mood for it. To end on a positive note - they use compostable cups and spoons! read more

I wish we had more of it in KC but I highly recommend that you get sours and ciders if you're in the PNW. For lunch I ordered the Club Sandwich: Sweetheart ham, hickory-smoked turkey, Tillamook white cheddar, Applewood smoked bacon; topped with lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo. It normally comes on sourdough but I swapped it out for ciabatta. First off, it's a HUGE club sandwich. Lots of meat that had amazing flavor. Not some sad deli sandwich at all. The ciabatta had great chew and complemented the sandwich perfectly. No complaints here! Did I eat it all? Yes, and that was a great plan because it kept me going for the next 24 hours that ended up being a cluster that resulted in no food being available. Sandwiches come with chips or a garden salad but I opted for a different side with an up charge. Let's talk about the Oregon Blue Salad: spring mix, dried cranberries, honeycrisp apples, Rogue Creamery Oregon Blue crumbles, and maple candied walnuts; tossed in an apple cider vinaigrette. So GOOD! You can get it by itself and it would make a great meal. Everything was so fresh. Again, not a single complaint. If you are ever in the area, please stop in. Everything was amazing and I can't wait until I return. Double Mountain is on my list to come back to! Highly recommend!

They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!

The pizza was pretty doughy and flimsy on the bottom. Toppings were average. I picked this pizza because it was the most normal on the menu. I'm all for interesting, unusual pizzas, but none of the other ones on their menu appealed to me. They are weird, but not my taste. It took awhile to make the pizza; they told me 20 minutes on the phone and it was more like 30. It turns out this was because they had to remake it. According the guy working there, their oven has a weird spot in it and created a hole in part of the pizza. They remade it, and it came out the same way; you can see the hole in the in the bottom right of the photo, under some toppings. They offered to remake it a third time, but I didn't want to wait any longer and I doubted it would turn out differently. They didn't offer me the first version of the pizza or a discount for the hole or the extra wait time.

We placed a mobile order and paid for it ahead of time. The order was supposed to be done at 7:12…read more My husband went to pick it up in the drive thru. He said that he was there to pick up an online order for "Jamie". They said to pull forward. He was greeted by a young man who handed him straws and 2 of our drinks. My husband asked for a drink carrier and the young man put them in a drink holder and someone came up with the pineapple tajin drink, added that to the drink holder then handed that to my husband and ask him to please pull into spot #2 and they would bring him the rest of the order. He waited in that spot for about 12 mins before someone came out to ask "What was your order?" My husband said "what do you mean, what is my order? Its an online order for Jamie." The young man said "OK, I will be right out with your food." A few mins later, he came out with food. My husband checked the bags and there was a deluxe double cheese single stack burger missing and also a fry. He told the young man what was missing. The young man goes back inside and brings out 1 fry. No burger. So my husband says "Im still missing the burger." So the young man, once again, goes back inside and comes out with a woman who comes to my husband's vehicle with a long receipt and is asking to see what food he has already received. So they went through the food and she first said "you dont even have fries in your order." My husband said "Yes, we do. Its right here on the receipt." She apologized and went back in for the missing burger and brought it out and he left. After my husband came home, we went through the food and his chicken basket was a disaster. They just threw the chicken strips in the bottom and tossed fries on top. It literally looked like it had been dropped. It was super sloppy. He was also missing his toast that was supposed to come with it. A fish sandwich was ordered as well customized with a piece of white american cheese and asked for them to remove the lettuce. No cheese, soggy lettuce. We paid extra for the cheese. We understand that things happen sometimes, but this restaurant in particular seems to always have some kind of issue. We haven't done an online order before. I figured we would try it since there had been problems in the past just ordering in the drive thru. I apologize for this rambling, but every time we have been to this location (maybe 6 times now) we have some type of issue. My husband was at DQ for 20+ mins before he got everything straightened out and could go home.

The Old Trunk Antique Store

I'm from California, so I'm still not fully used to the way food is served everywhere you go in Oregon. I was thinking, 'Espresso, ice cream, and antiques? That's different.' Is the musky smell of antiques compatible with food service? Not sure how I feel about this, but I ordered a huckleberry soda, anyway. I was curious. It turned out to be one of the best flavored sodas I've ever had. I loved the huckleberry syrup. The antique selection was well-curated. Lots of interesting trinkets and jewelry. Everything you'd expect from an antique shop, plus a gentleman's room full of old Playboys tucked into the back. Service was friendly, and there was plenty of parking. There was no wait. This is a great alternative to stopping by one of the big busy farms if you're just looking for a quick drink, or (obviously) if you're into antiques.

Vintage clothes, kitchen chachka, glassware, salt and pepper…read moreshakers from the 50s, holiday decor, yard art, and lots of vinyl - as in an album collection that feels like they bought my collection! The best deal - if you buy a vase, you are invited to fill it with fresh flowers you pick from the back garden. What? It's totally worth buying a vase just to get the gorgeous bouquet of dahlia, zinnia, cosmos, and more! The biggest surprise is that you can also get some delicious ice cream! It's perfect on a summer day as you are wandering the Hood River Fruit Loop or any season. The ice cream is soft serve, which is my fave. They have a shaded area next to the shop where you can sit and enjoy your treat. Check their website because in the off-season, they are typically open Fridays-Sundays only. It's a fun 6 as with most antique shops, you never know what treasure you'll find. And looking is just as much fun!

Not my thing, but if your into clowns and jesters!

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

KickStand Coffee & Kitchen

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!

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!!

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.

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!

Steve and I have had Kings & Daughters beer on several occasions and when we first discovered them…read morewe were told that they didn't have a taproom/ tasting room for their beers. Some time passed and that changed and they indeed did get such a set up. Located in Hood River, The Walled Garden is just such a place that has the brewery's in taproom/tasting room presentation. This space is set up really cool as there are gifts that you can purchase here as well as get food and their beer fresh off of the tap. We had quite a few places to visit while in town and didn't stop for a full fledged meal but it certainly looked tempting. While we were here I tried to get a beer that I haven't had before. I got The Bell which is a dark mild type of beer. It was good and a nice kick off to all of the other brewery stops here in town we had planned. This beer has a malty flavor which is pleasant and the ABV is manageably low. The beer is light bodied and nice and smooth. Other beers of the past that I highly recommend from Kings & Daughters are the Queens & Sons. I don't often drop a really high rating on Untapped for IPA' s typically but this one was excellent. Everything in the flavor profile was great. The bitterness of the hops and how all of that flowed together with the rest of the beer was just fantastic. Moving back to darker beer again another beer from Kings & Daughters that I really like is the Wintering Stout. This stout is just amazing and was another beer that I rated highly again on the Untapped app. The flavors you will find in this lovely beer are roastiness, toastiness, an earthiness and a hint of tobacco (in the best way possible) . Kings & Daughters cranks out amazing beers. I want to say that I have had a few more but I don't have them down in my records but I do recall having the consistent feeling of being quite pleased with this brewery each and every time. They make beers that aren't too intimidating to the average beer drinker but at the same time manage to be creative so more specialized beer drinkers( or beer drinkers who like more experimental beers) won't get bored with their offerings.
