The Riv Cafe

Amazing. Inside and outside seating that's relaxing and comfortable, set in an old church gives it a very cool vibe. The food and coffee is unreal. Best waffles we've ever had. Great service, this place is a win.

Leaving a review about the coffee! Amazing coffee/latte

Didn’t find many reviews about the coffee, just how amazing the food was so I wanted to leave one.

They know what they are doing 👌🏼

Great place for breakfast or lunch in an old church courtyard. Great inside and outside seating with fresh flower fragrances. Their avocado toast with chili flakes and cucumbers with egg on top was one of the best we have had and their lox bagel was great as well.

Enjoyed a honey lavender latte with oatmilk. Delish! Nice indoor and outdoor setting.

Chicken for chicken and waffles soo good. Bummed about espresso it is usually delicious. Cranky guy made it maybe his vibe jumped in cup it was bitter and almost burnt or maybe they didn't run water after cleaning the machine so chems were left??. Usually espresso is just strong and nice at Riv. Rest of staff super friendly, helpful and patient with person who needed fast coffee and bite before continuing to drive on trip. I always stop by the riv if I can when traveling because it typically is consistently excellent. High quality ingredients worth every penny. Definitely one of best spots in the Dalles!!!

Amazing spot where the owner and his wife roast their own coffee beans. This place is a church converted to a coffee shop- a dream come true

This place is so cool! The old church building is gorgeous and everything I ordered was great. I broke down and ordered the salmon Benedict. I was not disappointed at all. That toast it comes on was incredible, though, a lil tough to cut with a butter knife.

AMAZING staff and food! A beautiful event space as well - I just hosted a baby shower there and it turned out perfect. Noah & staff were extremely helpful during the planning process and made everything much easier. They served chicken & waffles and a salad for the event and everybody was loving the food! Highly recommend for an event.

Love this place! The coffee, the food, the ambiance, the staff - everything has been wonderful. I highly recommend visiting!

We stopped here while visiting the Dalles and immediately wanted to come back again! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the food (open faced biscuit) was delicious. We sat outside and had a quiet, quaint breakfast.
