Loved this coffee stand! We stayed at the resort next door and came here for coffee both mornings we were in Winthrop. They have a ton of flavors you can add, the bourbon vanilla and toasted marshmallow were both really good. The staff was super friendly and put up with me asking for all my flavor options lol. The jalapeño breakfast bagel was great plus they have pastries. Will definitely come back here next time we're in town

Friendliest coffee drive- thru! Iced coffee was good but the charm was the building & especially nice barista.

The cutest window decorations for the Hot Air balloon festival the weekend we were in town.

Great coffee, great breakfast sandwich, amazing customer service. They were BUSY the weekend we were in town for the Winthrop Hot air balloon festival and they were so good about keeping up with the rush. Everything we ordered from this coffee stand was great, not a single complaint from anyone in the family. It's tucked between the Winthrop Ace Hardware and the Methow valley Thriftway -- cutest little coffee stand! You can drive up to both sides of the coffee stand to order. Tiny little seating area right out front of the coffee booth. 10/10 would recommend and will be visiting again when in town next time.

The stuffed bagels are THE BEST EVER!!! We had the blueberry stuffed bagels on a trip last fall and have been craving them ever since! We came back and tried a blueberry and everything. Both are great, but blueberry was hands down both of our favorites! I got a Breakfast in a Cup iced coffee as well- and it was delicious. Great flavor profiles without being all sugar. read more

What a great coffee shop. Loved the staff, great coffee and their attitude and sense of humor are fantastic! Absolutely loved the sign as you drive up "Calm your tits, it's just coffee...." OUTSTANDING! Keep up the good work! Edit: Also because I couldn't comment directly, I'll put it here for the Karen's that have all the negative things to say about this nice little coffee shop. Just go back to King County and get over yourself. The world does not revolve around you and other people have lives and know how to do there jobs without your assistance. read more

I thought it is necessary for everyone to know the lady was quite rude. I have been through multiple times when we are in town and never had this experience. I asked for a 12oz white chocolate americano and all I asked is to pull the shots early so they don't burn. I've had experiences at multiple places where they have and she literally laughed at my face and told me I don't burn shots and then when she handed me my drinks, which was way to hot to even drink, she laughed and closed the window that was absurd and such bad service. You should never treat any customer like that!!!! read more

Pony Expresso is a drive-thru coffee shack along the Methow River near the Winthrop KOA site. It's tucked away among several other businesses. The staff are very friendly and quick to get you your order. The menu is large with plenty of drink options and a few small breakfast food items. My breve hazelnut latte was well prepared and my iced berry lemonade was refreshing. The prices are fair. read more

Definitely one of the better drive through coffe huts I've been to in Washington. Got two cold brews and it tasted like they made it at least, some of the other huts don't make there own.

Not really sure what happened to the coffee at this coffee stand but they don't make it like they used to. I asked for an iced latte with two shots of espresso and they take a pitcher out of the fridge and pour what looks like black sludge into my coffee cup. What ever happened to pouring fresh espresso shots not whatever has been sitting in the fridge for who knows how long? We have been coming to this coffee stand for years every time we are in Winthrop and loved their coffee before but we have been seriously disappointed the last two times we were in town this summer. This will definitely be the last time we have drinks here again. read more

This is a great place to go when you want a great cup of coffee and are a bit of a coffee snobs like we are, the coffee beans are local and the flavor is smooth. They make a great espresso. BIG PLUS they have soy, and almond milk for all of us lactose people. We highly recommend checking out this drive thru while you are staying there. They are friendly and prompt and they make a great latte. The best place to get coffee while in Twisp, Carlton, or Winthrop. Katie Rocks the Pony Expresso!! read more

History

Established in 2007.

I, Katie Paz took over The Pony Expresso in July 2013. I work there for 2 years prior to that. In that time frame I have built a strong local and tourist clientele. This last April we painted to give it a little face lift.

Meet the Business Owner: Katie P.

I, Katie Paz took over the business in July 2013. It was up for sale and I couldn't stand the thought of working any where else. So in July 2013 I purchased it! I have loved every minute of it. I feel very confident that I have done a great job with the quality products I carry to the customer service I provide. I want everyone to leave satisfied although I know it's not always possible.

The service I received was top notch! Molly, Vickie, and Jonathan were really cool, friendly, and went above and beyond for me. I fell in love (LOVE!) with their chocolate soda, literally! Hands down, it's absolutely the best chocolate drink I've ever had. I would go in daily to get one order to drink immediately and 1-2 drinks to go (no ice, I would chill it in the hotel fridge). I loved the drink so much, I actually went across the street to Aspens Grove and bought two pitchers, so I could get enough of the drink to share with friends (11 people in total!) And yes, everyone loved it! The chocolate soda was more chocolate milk, since they had a soda water shortage, but if it's as tasty as the chocolate milk - oh my! Other pros- everything they use is either home grown (they have their own organic farm) or sourced locally whenever possible. All ingredients are of high quality and organic (also whenever possible). My first meal was their curry chicken salad which had great flavor and coconut flakes which added a nice texture! Vickie is the master chef and the magician behind their dishes and drinks. She took time to come out and share the chocolate soda recipe with me. I'll tell you this much- she makes an amazing dark chocolate ganache as the base of their chocolate drinks! She not only shared the recipe, but told me where I could go to get the highest quality chocolate and at the best price too! I have 15 bars, so I will make it at home soon! In the group of 11 friends I shared the drink with- a friend's son told her that she needed to get a pitcher and take it over to Oliver's too, to get more chocolate milk! It is so tasty and I'm so thankful that Vickie gave me the recipe and that Molly demonstrated step by step how she makes it! Cons- when it gets busy, it can be slow, but honestly, I felt it was worth the wait. We will be coming back to Winthrop a lot, and I plan to make Oliver's one of my first stops (if not the first!) on all future trips!
