There’s a ton of cute and fun little extras around, from a giant pumpkin named Bob, to super adorable coloring sheets. We’ll be back for sure!
But Sugarpine absolutely nailed it.
The sandwiches were delicious—tender, flavorful, and messy in the best way. Everything tasted fresh and intentional, as if someone had actually cared while making it. No dry meat, no weird balance issues, just straight-up delicious.
And the desserts… wow. Creative, rich, and not over-the-top sweet. Every bite was better than the last. You can tell a lot of thought goes into what they serve here.
This place lived up to the hype and then some. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best spots around.
P.S. I need a box of the peanut butter cups. Immediately.
Their swirl looks so pretty and it’s really popular too! I got the vegan one with toppings, and you can choose your own toppings!
It was creamy and refreshing, I totally recommend it!
Heading out toward Mount Hood and the breathtaking Oregon Gorge, you’ll find this small, unassuming spot that was once a gas station—now transformed into an upscale, thoughtfully designed, and wildly comforting drive-in. This is not the place you want to skip when you’re on your way to Vista House or Multnomah Falls. The warmth, hospitality, and intentionality behind everything they do makes it feel like a destination, not just a stop.
The staff alone deserves a standing ovation. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it shows in every plate they hand out. The food here isn’t just delicious—it’s edible art.
First things first: always try the sandwich special of the month. The owners and chefs frequently collaborate with local restaurants, and somehow they manage to create sandwiches that are completely out of this world. Everything is made from scratch, and the rotating monthly specials keep things exciting and seasonal.
My top two favorites from the past year:
• Albacore Tuna Melt – This one comes around a few times a year and it is perfect. Fresh, clean albacore paired with red onion, mayo, and celery creates a balance that’s both light and hearty. I always add the chili crunch oil (because chili crunch belongs on almost everything ❤️ ), and it takes it to another level.
• Pear / Apple Melt (seasonal) – Depending on the season, this sandwich is pure magic. The sweetness of the fruit paired with the bold, savory richness of the cheese creates a flavor combination that literally reminds me of that scene in Ratatouille—an explosion of taste you want to relive over and over again. Perfectly cooked pears or apples, usually a blend of one hard cheese and one soft cheese, chives, and that waffle-style Texas toast… unreal.
Their tomato soup deserves its own shoutout too—deep, rich Roma tomato flavor with no cream or dairy, making it perfect for a cool fall day and a big bonus for anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions.
And finally—you must get dessert. I don’t make the rules; I just enforce them.
The handmade soft-serve ice cream is next-level. Every sundae they create is a literal work of art—almost too beautiful to eat (almost). They also offer thoughtful vegan and vegetarian options, doing their absolute best to make sure everyone can enjoy something special.
I could honestly go on forever about Sugarpine. We lost our Nordstrom Café here in Clackamas, and I will happily drive out to the Gorge for Sugarpine because it brings back that same feeling—elevated, aesthetically comforting food that feels like home.
12/10 worth the wait.
Pro tip: you can order ahead online during the week or in winter when things are quieter. In summer, online ordering often shuts off due to volume—but trust me, the drive-through line is still 100% worth it. ❤️
Yes. It really is that good.. Take a self care drive and check it out for yourself.
Then the restaurant only has a handful of small tables, many of which are just for 2 people. And of course, they’re all taken. So 80% of the people who eat here have to do so outside.
They do have picnic tables and even some in a big tent as well, which I guess is nice. Except when it’s 40 degrees outside it still isn’t pleasant to have to eat outside at all.
The food was also not as good as we expected, given the hype about this place. Ice cream was good but I wouldn’t go out of the way for it. The brittle on the ice cream tasted burnt. But whatever it was, it wasn’t tasty. Hot chocolate wasn’t sweet enough. Sandwich was way too heavy with thick toast bread and you couldn’t hardly taste the meat and cheese.
Overall, I don’t understand what the hype is about. Lackluster food, poor seating options, ridiculously overcrowded. Won’t be going back.
