Stopped by after swimming in the river. The ice cream was a little freezer burnt but the Boba lemonade was delicious. The girls in front were all amazing. Great service. I love the look of the shop. Its super cute. I didn't taste anything but the stuff I mentioned, so not sure how that is.

Incredible Turkey Ranch Wrap. The sodas I've tried so far are great; the sweetness level is perfect. Priced very nicely! Friendly staff, even when I burden them by showing up 45 minutes before closing.

Love this place.. The atmosphere is awesome. Food options and ice cream desserts are yummy for my tummy. Very family friendly. Price is comfortable in contract to the way over priced trailer food court down the street.

Stopped in 815 am solo on 6-1-25 on my last morning staying here in Troutsdale. I was greeted by a beautiful blue eyed dog that was more like a floor mat. So calm, loving, and pretty, loved seeing the local gentlemen visiting having their coffee. Instantly felt the home town feel. Google didn’t bring up that this place had breakfast but noticed this place last night while walking. Decided to check out the inside and atleast get a coffee to go. The sweet young lady took my order. I ordered an iced coffee with almond milk and the Italian prosciutto avocado toast on gluten free bread that came with a small bundle of red grapes. (I hope it’s gluten free- other wise- I’ll feel the pain in about an hour) The egg was cooked correctly. The toast could use a light drizzle of balsamic or honey to compliment. There was sandwiches, wraps, salads, sweet treats/drinks on the menu. This place brought childhood memories with the rustic bar/seats and overall open space. Highly suggest this place

We hosted a baby shower in the upstairs area. It was wonderful. The space had plenty of room for everyone. They offer in house catering as well which is super convenient. The space hardly needed any decoration as it is beautifully staged already. All the food and drink options for guests are fantastic. Soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, and more are available. Plus the sodas are so delicious consider them for your next event. You will love it.

Such a cute little spot for ice cream or soda drinks. Great prices for everything. We spotted here mostly for dirty soda and were not disappointed.

Love the old wood bar. This is a great place for coffee, ice cream or a quick meal. The service was very friendly. The space is very open and bright. They even have a few outside seats, including rocking chairs. A recommended stop before you hit the Sandy River or Columbus River Gorge.
