Welcome to Nativ Cafe

“ Okay, I’m thrilled to write a review about this place! I stayed in the cabin nearby for the hot springs and was coming here for my shots of espresso and, of course, their absolutely unique shakes! I was hooked on their unique smoothie flavors without feeling guilty about drinking something too sweet. I also bought their Sober Water to contribute to the healthy vibe. I love the aluminum bottles. The service was good, considering it’s a busy place. ”

“ Hands down best coffee in the Gorge! Delicious mochi muffins and matcha from True Tea in Portland—espresso is from Upper Left Roasters which is one of my faves. Staff is so welcoming and accommodating! This place can get busy during brunch hours and weekends but it’s worth the wait. Love you Nativ ”

“ Stopped for coffee and a burrito bowl yesterday…spectacular. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to see Mt Hood due to cloudy conditions today. Highly recommended. ”

“ Just dropped in for some road coffee before heading to Central Oregon. The barista was very pleasant and engaging. As I asked them to put my coffee in my rather large travel mug he was very accommodating and asked me to try it to make sure I was happy .. Would definitely recommend. While the coffee and service are very good I do feel the price is a bit excessive as I can get the same level of quality and service in my home area (Bend, Oregon) for significantly less. However, I also feel strongly that the barista was quite generous with the volume he put in my 24 oz. mug considering their largest cup is 16 oz. thus my rating their service as excellent! ”

“ The food is fantastic and I love having a good boba place in the gorge. The employees are always very nice and it has a very relaxing atmosphere. My only critique is I wish they would label the pastries in the case! ”

“ We were in town for the day and ate lunch here. My husband had the Plate Lunch with the pork laulau & Portuguese sausage. I had the Nativ taco. Both were delicious. Instead of the standard taco shell, it was fry bread… so yummy. I had a hot chai tea with nut milk. It was no caffeine and no sugar (unless you opted to add it). The spices were amazing & balanced- not a premade syrupy sweet chai, I loved it. My husband had an herbal tea, iced. Very refreshing. The staff were friendly & answered all our questions about what dish to order. We sat looking outside at people walking around, a beautiful day. We were inside but there was an open front- fresh air and breeze. Lots of cool art on the walls and a community board packed with events & hip happenings. ”

“ Miguel makes an incredible breakfast burrito! So so tasty. I got it with all the add ons. Awesome combo of flavors. Really nice atmosphere, too. So glad I stopped here! ”

“ We were impressed with this shop. We had a plain latte and an earl gray latte, both were spot on. The breakfast bowl and blueberry scone were delicious, five stars for everything! ”
