Ground Espresso Bar & Cafe

Popped in to try their coffee! I got their winter themed drink “over the mountain mocha” which was yummy! Yummy whip too. The staff was working very hard & fast, shout out to them! It was quite busy but they were amazing! The inside is so cozy, great place to sit down. Next time I’ll try their soups or sandwiches.

We stopped by on a trip in both directions! The cookies are superb. The matcha latte was fresh made. You won't be disappointed!

Hands down the best coffee spot we have found in Hood River! Nice and strong.

My husband got the over the river mocha and loved it. My black forest mocha was pretty good also!

the art work is interesting. i still remember how delicious the cinnamon roll i purchase here. the coffee was great too! love the ambiance & kind staff.

Groovy coffee shop.
Got off 84 looking for a coffee stand, happened to see this shop. Took a sip of the latte I ordered and immediately thought "this is a damn good latte." We'll be making this our new stop on 84 as we cross the state.

It's surprising that they don't position themselves more as an amazing bakery because they have some killer whole wheat orange cranberry and maple bacon scones, Nutella croissants and hot-out-of-the-oven coconut chocolate chip cookies. And of course a few gluten-free options. My fancy English breakfast tea was served in a proper ceramic pot with a generous portion of milk on the side, just the way I like it. The avocado toast with thin tomato slices, feta and a sprinkle of lemon & pepper is scrumptious! Staff are very friendly and helpful. One negative for me - I was dying for fresh baked goods with walnuts or pecans and there were none. I think all the allergies to peanuts have made bakeries gun shy of all nuts😔.

Love the espresso here - full flavor but not punch-u-in-the-face bold. And so nice to see it served in a ceramic. Haven't had that pleasure since the world went into lockdown in March 2020. This spot is nicely tucked at the end of main street Hood River. Outdoor seating is fantastic. They serve sandwiches on paninis. Can't beat that.

Great little shop, full of colors and very welcoming. They use almost any space they have as seating, so you'll always find a spot. Excellent customer service. Coffee roast is a bit on a lighter side but still tastes very good. Definitely will be stopping by every time I pass through!

Coffee was very well made and all the employees were friendly! My only complaint is they remade our drink twice because they kept forgetting to add our alternative milk that we paid extra for. Definitely don’t come here if you’re in a hurry, but want to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere!

Love this local place!
Owners are awesome and all the food is made from scratch. My go to place :) I saw this dog standing in its hind legs waiting for its owner who was inside ordering some tasty coffee!

Yummy food, excellent latte, great service, and atmosphere. Will stop everytime on our travels through to family.

Very good coffee and really awesome english muffin breakfast sandwiches. The english muffins are homemade and you can tell. I don't normally like english muffins but I would take these over any other breakfast sandwich bread.

They had lots of versatile and unique sandwich options. The one I got was marionberry jam, brie cheese, sausage, and apple slices.

Our seasonally flavored mochas, pastries, and sandwiches were all delicious!

Ordered 12 Oz Baja Mocha and it was not only absolutely beautiful but also delicious!

I love this place. Great food and great coffee with a cozy and familiar atmosphere. This was one of my first stops on my first trip to Hood River and now I go every time I visit. The staff is always nice and the food is always great.

Is it wrong to base a rating on the generous presence of my favorite color in their cafe?
Orange, if you were curious, and their La Marzocco with orange steel sides is gorgeous!
But on top of that, the folks were friendly and the rest of the cafe decor was fun and quirky. Really good experience.

Wonderful coffee and friendly staff! An oasis after several days of bad coffee.

We stayed at the Hood River Hotel, and this was a great early coffee/breakfast option. We weren't looking for a heavy breakfast, and we were happy to find these breakfast sandwiches and great coffee. Loved the Sweet Spot! Perfect sweet and salty combo.

Best coffee I have had in a long time and the food was amazing

A super cute place!
Good coffee ☕& sweets.
