Hidden River Coffee Roasters 536 Northeast 5th Avenue, Camas, WA 98607

"I’ve been coming to Hidden River for the last couple of years out of sheer necessity. Limp croissants, smug baristas, and slow service were things we just put up with because the choices in Camas/Washougal are so slim. If you like church, you’ll love this place. No visit is complete without a nauseating bro or four consulting the onion skin pages of their ESVs, bellowing about their views on gender and marriage, huffing the word counts of their sermons and hi-fiving fellow church members as they come in. The Christian hipsters are alive and well, and this is their haunt. My sin? My puppy. I lost her leash in my fumble last week and she ran inside. Then she immediately ran out. Hell to pay! The next week, I tied her up to the doggie ring they have in their run-down yard and she barked at a passer-by. It galls me to know that some petty little Christian soul took it upon themselves to complain to the point that HR kicked me and my quietly-reading 7 year-old out, but not before reminding my of my naughty little dog’s infraction the week before! I pity the dogmatic barista who evicted us. What a pathetic expression of hypocrisy, but bravo for having your game face intact. WWJD. We’re both glad it’s goodbye. The jokes on me for coming back here when I was already done."

"Stopped with a friend on the way to the Carson Hotspring and this place was so good. The coffee was one of the best I have tried. We both ordered a breakfast sandwich and scarfed them down. I also grabbed a Pineapple Coconut Kombucha and rice crispy treat. Super cute and busy coffee shop. We knew we had stopped at the right spot when we walked inside and it was filled. Must be a great local spot."

"It's a really good-looking coffee place, nice and clean inside, and seems like it would be a pleasant place to study or hang out. They have a pretty comprehensive coffee menu as well as pastries, and their London Fog tea tastes wonderful. It seemed like the girl serving me was in training but she did a well getting people their orders quickly and providing kind service. I would definitely come back to try more drinks."
