The best cafe for excellent coffee in Vancouver. I've been coming here over a decade. Each day I am here it is the best part of my day. Best. Coffee. Ever. read more

Fun customizable breakfast sandwiches with all kinds of options. They've also just added some new things to their menu like cheddar biscuits as well as biscuits and gravy. They often have fun specials including fun Star Wars themed drinks and desserts. Every time we've eaten here it's been great. read more

I love this diamond in the rough! Amazing baked goods made in house and solid coffee. It can get really loud though due to the cement floors and flat ceiling, so if you're going to work, bring headphones. Also, wifi can be spotty. Lovely and friendly waitstaff! read more

River Maiden - Latte and blackberry scone! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Super safe, super yummy. I hit a veggie option with mamas lil peppers. Simple and convenient. The server was kind.

My maiden voyage at River Maiden Artisan Coffee was a meld of a decaf latte and a lot of relaxation. This is the kind of comfy coffee shop that locals love ... with a fair coffee maiden behind the counter and Stumptown beans in a cup. You know what they say ... When in the Couve, do what Couves do. Basically, drink coffee, hang out, and relax using free WiFi. Be sure to Check-in to get $0.50 off a cup of coffee ... and then leave a $0.50 tip. The River Maiden Artisan Coffee shop is located between the 14 and Mill Plain Road about half-way between the 5 and 205. It's deep in Vancouver, WA ... perfect for locals who've got a cravin' for coffee from a River Maiden. read more

When I walk through the doors of River Maiden, I can't help but laugh a little to myself. Prior to being a coffee shop, this space was occupied by a dull drivers ed school where I reluctantly spent my Tuesday and Thursday evenings while learning to drive. Who would have guessed that the place I dreaded being around years ago would eventually turn into one of my favorite spots in town! No matter when you stop by River Maiden, you are certain to be greeted by a chipper barista(s) who is eager to serve you something delicious! As one of the few places on this side of the river that uses Stumptown coffee, you are in for a treat with whatever you order. In addition to coffee, there is a variety of teas (Tao of Tea) and tasty looking pastries to suit your mood. I definitely wish a coffee shop like this would have been around to help keep me awake during my drivers ed days! Open from 7am to 7pm every weekday, you really have no excuse not to stop by! Just a heads up, if you are not use to artisan coffee shops, make sure you leave a little extra time if you have someplace to rush off to afterward. Drinks are crafted one at a time so it takes a moment or two to make, but it is definitely worth the wait! read more

Our 1st stop for a needed meal after arriving to Oregon... where's the Coffee!!!!? The sando breakfast sandwich was light but filling. The staff are super nice.. pleasant. The drip coffee was good... another cup please.. thanks. Glad we stopped... you should try too. read more

Yummiest coffee around town! Brekky sando is rather large and quite delicious as well. This spot is a nice little gem! Will be back!

River Maiden is serving lunch. Three delicious sandwiches, three salads and the Amaze bowl. Check it out you'll enjoy a wonderful lunch served with a smile. They still have Stumptown Coffee and the egg sando, 2 kinds of avocado toast and lots of in-house baked goods, This is my go to spot for coffee, treats, breakfast and now lunch. read more

I've been in a few times now, have to say I'm very impressed! Everything tastes very fresh- from the coffee, to the breakfast sandwiches, to their amazing cookies (they sell out early sometimes). The breakfast sandwiches are made to order Everytime, and are probably my favorite part of this place. They use Stumptown beans, which I happen to be a total sucker for. One morning, I saw them inspecting a sample of beans, which makes me feel good they are looking out for their QA. The employees have always been friendly, and I've never felt like I was intruding. Very family friendly and welcoming place. They even have a drive through. Definitely a place to check out if you like coffee and food (duh). read more

River Maiden - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Great tasting non bitter coffee, love the Christmas bread with scrambled eggs! Yummy!!!

Located in Vancouver, Washington (Vantucky), the coffee is the best in the Northwest. Only the best beans, brewed with pride. (Stumptown) The kitchen is the best coffee bakery as well. The cookies and scones are perfect. Creative fresh items for breakfast and lunch. A true local gem! read more

Perfection! Stellar service, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Small but solid menu. I went with the breakfast sandwich, I love that they use cage free eggs. You can add different meats and veggies. I opted to add arugula and avacado, both were very fresh and they piled on plenty of both. The fresh baked bun was so good. Despite being in a old bank, I loved the space, bright, open, with some modern touches. Also stumptown coffee A+. read more

Their Sandos are To Die For, & don't even get me started on the Marion Berry Scone!!!! Lord knows my addiction to this place will forever be everlasting. Tasty, fast, amazing. Just brilliant!!! *chef kiss* read more

Excellent espresso shot. Crema filled the cup through to the last drop, and the smoothness really helped break up my drive. Also their cappuccino was well executed with sweetness and beautiful care. The ambiance was traditional and clean with framed coffee bags on the wall. I Can't wait to try the nitro tapped cold brew on our next visit. The pair of baristas were friendly and genuinely appeared to have fun with their job and stoked on their delicious product. read more

River Maiden is likely the best coffee Vancouver has to offer. Not only do they serve Stumptown coffee, but they make excellent lattes as well. Maybe they would be five-stars based on this alone, but the icing on the cake proves to be the ham and cheese croissants they have piled up inside a small, glass case to the side of the register. They look like typical ham and cheese croissants do, but have them warm one up and they transform into these amazing breakfast treats. Completely delicious and the best way to start work at days I'm at the building around the corner. No punch card or reward system, but for what it's worth, I've found a friend in River Maiden and I plan on being a regular there. read more

This is the first time I am writing a somewhat negative review on a business that I frequent pretty often. First off, their food and drinks are amazing. Seems to be good, fresh, quality ingredients. 5 star rating in this regard. The biggest downfall to this business, which makes it really hard to want to continue coming back and supporting them, is their business practices, and service. They make it feel very inconvenient and sometimes challenging to support them. They will never answer a phone to place an order. Sometimes online order is available, however when they get busy they just turn it off. Then, you have to drive to the location to place your order. After spending 15 minutes in line, you wait another 15 minutes to get your order. When you go to pay for your order they will stick a card reader taped to a selfie stick out the window while you struggle to get your card into the reader. All employees seem to be very im personable and there is no sense of atmosphere whatsoever. Lots of room for improvement and definitely getting more difficult with time to continue spending my money at such a poor run business. read more

First visit here as I have seen on Instagram a lot of photos and comments about this place. We thought we would come give it a try. Kind of disappointing. Other than the cure decor, there is no menu, no pricing other than on the pastries. They only have one flavor of sugar-free syrup which is disappointing. Nice building as you can tell it's been recently renovated. Nice people though. read more

Good food and service. Limited options for breakfast though. Still a good choice on Sunday mornings

This is a cute little coffee shop. Coffee is there main business, but they did have a small menu for food. I had the red and green avocado toast and it was delicious! The coffee was delicious. The staff were friendly and they all were very excited about the new drive through window that had just opened. read more

Excellent coffee and breakfast sandwiches with vegan options! Delicious, and highly recommended.

I Come to the PNW every summer on vacation and I start my day with River Maidens coffee. Simply the best in the Vancouver/Portland area. And the nicest friendliest true baristas you can find. I recommend the mocha and cold brew!!! read more

If you simply want really really good coffee, lattes, espressos, etc. dont be scared off by the appearance! Yes, the location and storefront may seem a little meh, and maybe off-putting, and the inside isn't exactly the coziest, or portland-esque. They are open pretty late for a coffee shop, especially around here. And it IS a great place to go if you want a good cup of coffee while being able to sit indoors. Also, the beans they used when I went were great. They carry different kinds, and I wish I knew which one it was, but I dont. All I know is it is hard to find a great quality espresso (not burnt, pulled correctly) around here(Plus some fancy Foam Art), and I think I found it. Only thing is, when we went so late, the sun was set. There was barely any lighting in the first room, and weird harsh lighting in the side room. Maybe better lighting, some comfy chairs, and I know far-fetched, but a fireplace would be dreamy! Try this place out! And maybe one day they can move into a perfect location, and I will probably move in :) read more

Ordered for pickup, sandwiches were awesome. Hot, quick, delicious. Can't really ask for much more. The red pepper spread and sausage were well worth the add on. read more

Delicious coffee and food. Very good in house beverages. Fun decor. It is our favorite coffee shop in Vancouver among a city of great options. read more

I love River Maiden. The food is fresh, offering healthy options with hardy portions. I enjoy the Christmas and Marigold Toasts, and need to get at those tacos! The coffee is perfectly made. The customer service is the best in town. AND the love for pop culture makes me smile. I've had the Princess Layer and the Boba Fett. There are always cookies available that change with the holiday, seasons or popular show (GoT and of course Star Wars). River Maiden makes supporting local businesses easy, and is worth the drive across town! read more

River Maiden - Shared an order of Christmas toast and Marigold toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I hate to have to offer a slightly dissenting review, but I wasn't terribly impressed. Other reviewers have raved about the Stumptown coffee, but to me it was slightly bitter; it's probably an acquired taste, and I don't think I'll be in Washington state long enough to acquire it. In addition to not being crazy about the coffee, and not being to find anything I wanted to eat amongst the small assortment of pastries, I found the ambiance a little uninviting. Scanning the reviews, I see that the space used to be a driving school or some such thing, and it still feels a bit like one. Perhaps they're still working on making this a cozier place to hang out, which I hope they do because there's a lot of potential here. The staff were very welcoming and affable, so I feel a little guilty not being able to give RMA 4*, but it's simply not there yet. read more

NO INTERNET!!!! Terrible coffee because stump town is so nasty! Ugh!! Good staff but don't recommend. Not to mention it was nearly 4 dollars for 12 ounce black coffee. Absolute rip off especially when it's stumped down. Puke read more

Got the breakfast sandos. I ordered the breakfast sausage one with add avocado and man it was pretty delicious and the bun was very soft and perfect. Definitely a good little breakfast sandwich read more

I am a fan if their avocado toast, coffee is fantastic and ambiance is spot on. A local fav.

Best drive-thru coffee shop around. Fun seasonal pastries and drinks with fantastic breakfast options to go. Stumptown coffee is their roaster of choice and helps diversify the coffee scene here in Vancouver. read more

My first visit was on Tuesday, 2/2/21. Friendly customer service, delicious coffee and avocado toast, and a table outside for a seating option currently. Pricing is a little high and I don't like that they charge extra for vegan milk or flavoring. I do like that they have vegan options and hopefully they'll only be adding more in the future. They also have a loyalty program which is a plus. Overall an excellent establishment. You'll see me again. Thank You! read more

Great iced tea, high prices though. $21 for 2 drinks and 2 scones... Atmosphere was ok. We were approached by a panhandler while sitting inside at our table. read more

Love this place! Always close by and has the best coffee. Love their summer drinks too!

Never expected to have breakfast in the forest but found myself driving through the most beautiful grove of trees and then you pop out and there's the River Maiden. I went there just so I could get a cool looking latte and I was not disappointed also the avocado toast was a delicious way to start my day. I would definitely return to the River Maiden when I'm back in the Vancouver area for breakfast, great people great service! read more
