A Must-Stop for Freshness and Fantastic Service!
My family and I stopped at The Farmer's Cup Coffee Stand in Boardman, Oregon, on our way home, and it was a fantastic decision! The location is super convenient, right off the highway, making it an ideal spot to pull over and grab a pick-me-up.
Right away, we were impressed by the "farmers" aspect of their name – they truly live up to it! As we drove up, we saw rows of what looked like tomatoes, cucumbers, and even strawberries growing nearby, which was a really nice touch and showed their commitment to fresh, local ingredients.
Despite two cars ahead of us, the line moved incredibly fast. We were served by the owner, who was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. As soon as we pulled up, he offered us complimentary fresh cherries. He then gave us samples of their very fresh lemonade – absolutely delicious and not too tart. He even offered us freshly picked cucumber bites from their garden that very morning.
The owner was helpful with suggestions, going beyond just reading off a menu. We were initially drawn to the stand because they offered Lotus drinks, and he thoughtfully suggested opting for Lotus instead of his Red Bull option to reduce the amount of chemicals in the drinks. This was something we really appreciated. We both ended up getting unique and very tasty versions of their Lotus drinks with fresh-squeezed juices, which were unlike anything we've had at other coffee stands. We frequent coffee stands often, and this was definitely a standout!
For food, we got a fresh-wrapped banana chocolate bread that we scarfed down quickly. I also got a fantastic sausage bagel. The bagel itself was clearly fresh, not pre-made, and the sausage had a unique and delicious blend of savory flavors with fresh herbs – definitely not your typical breakfast sandwich. We were able to make a slight adjustment to the menu item, which he was happy to accommodate. Everything came out very quickly with a smile.
It was also clear that this is a family-run business, and you can feel the passion and care they put into everything. The owner mentioned that in July or August, they'll have locally grown watermelon, which he said is comparable to Hermiston watermelon due to the proximity of the cities. What truly impressed us is that he only picks his watermelons at peak ripeness and personally samples them before selling, ensuring top quality for his customers. We are very excited to try it on our next trip through!
Overall, The Farmer's Cup offers excellent drinks, fresh food, great prices, and exceptional service. This will definitely be a continuous stop for us whenever we're in the area....
