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

Unfortunately the cafe gets one star, the eggs and avocado I got last time was downright offensive. As in, this meal should not have been served/ left the kitchen. The avocado was rock hard, brown and unable to be mushed with a fork and $4, the eggs were greasy and burned brown. Oh no, this was disastrous, I returned the avocado as it was inedible and ate two bites of the burned eggs... over $12, really disappointing.

I had a fantastic stay at The Society Hotel. If you're into super fancy luxury hotels, maybe this…read moreisn't the place for you, but for the rest of you, read on. The design of the hotel is really neat - it's in a restored school building and they lean into that with lockers still in the hallway and things like that. I came here during the week while working so spent a lot of time just hanging out in the hotel lobby, which was very comfy and cozy with a fireplace going. The spa was really nice. Again, not huge or fancy, but a great value. With your stay you get one hour reserved per day (free), including the days you check in and out, and can also ask to soak additional times if there is space. On my first night, I had booked the last hour they're open, and they texted me saying I could come an hour early if I wanted since there was plenty of room. There's a warm pool and a cold plunge inside, as well as a sauna, and a hot tub outside. I was nervous it was going to be a strict one-hour time limit, but they didn't seem to care. Caveat though, I also did come during the week so it was probably less busy than average. I was cheap and stayed in one of the bunk rooms. They're like fancy hostel accommodations. I generally don't like hostels but I liked it here. The beds are super comfy and sturdy, linens and towels provided, and there are curtains around each bed, as well as a light switch, outlets, and a storage area at the head of the bed. The lights in the room turn off at 10 and it was very quiet the whole time I was here. There were probably only 5ish other people in the room though that could technically fit 24. There are ample bathrooms outside the room; they're all single bathrooms with their own showers and were very clean every time I used them. Access to the spa is the same, and I paid $35 a night, which was a crazy deal considering I saw local people coming just for the spa which is also $35 for a single hour if you're not staying here. I had never been to this area before, and I loved it! I took the Amtrak here from Portland (which was only $7!) and drops off less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Transportation options once you're in town are pretty limited, but there is a public shuttle system that's $1 a ride - I took it to nearby White Salmon one day for lunch and on the way back they just dropped me off right at the hotel. Bingen itself really isn't much, and not a ton of food options. White Salmon was just a tad bigger and really close. While I didn't make it there, looks like Hood River just across the bridge is a little more happening. I did eat in the hotel lobby a few times, and the food was fine, although breakfast was pretty overpriced. The evening happy hour with $9 cocktails/wine was good though! If you're looking for a fun/different experience, I really recommend The Society Hotel. I loved my midweek getaway here - and they offer discounts for weeknight stays!

My go-to is spicy sausage with Mama Lila's peppers, onions and tomatoes plus the standard eggs & cheese. It is soooo good! Just writing about it is making me want one! This quaint, little coffee shop on West Steuben, the main street in Bingen a small town east of White Salmon, is filled with so much goodness. In addition to all the standard coffee drinks and the aforementioned awesome breakfast burrito, they have bagels and bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, breakfast handpies, and several muffins, scones and pastries. For a small, neighborhood shop they offer a lot of goodness! When I'm out exploring the WA side of the Columbia Gorge or going for a walk at Catherine Creek Trails, I often stop here afterwords and recommend you do the same!

Whoa, take it easy with the salt shaker!…read more I ordered the pistachio toast ($9.50), which is described on the menu as "Toasted sourdough topped with pistachio spread, finished with chocolate rye granola, crushed pistachio, and cardamom dust." With all that detail, they didn't disclose the load of large grain salt on top of it all. And there was a lot of it. So much that all I tasted was salt. It was overwhelming and unpleasant. And also sad because it ruined a beautiful piece of bread. I tried scraping off the salt but that was impossible without removing all of the bread topping. Had the menu mentioned the salt, I would have asked them to hold it. Perhaps staff could have asked, "Would you like salt on that?" or just had salt available on the counter for folks to add their own if desired. The view from this place is amazing. What a wonderful location to sit outside and look at the river and the gorge and see trains pass by. I would have purchased a chocolate chip cookie, but $5.50 for a cookie is ridiculous.

A Hidden Gem in Stevenson -- Worth the Stop!…read more As general contractors coming from the PDX area, we're always on the lookout for a good cup of coffee during our workdays--and Big Foot Coffee Roasters turned out to be a true gem. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Flow, the barista, was absolutely amazing--friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about both the pastries and the coffee. It's always refreshing to meet someone who genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows in the service. She shared that they roast their beans in house, which explains the rich, fresh flavor in every cup. They also sell the beans on site, and there's even a coffee grinder available for customers, which is a thoughtful touch for anyone passing through town. And the pastries? Yummy and perfect alongside the coffee. If you're traveling through Stevenson or working in the area like we were, this place is definitely worth the stop. Great coffee, delicious pastries, and outstanding service--what more can you ask for? Highly recommended!
