A beloved mountain coffee purveyor has opened a new location in Government Camp, bringing a much-needed caffeine boost for adventurers and travelers atop Mount Hood.

Fernie’s Coffee opened a hole-in-the-wall shop along the main drag of the popular mountain sports base camp. It offers all café staples along with specialty mochas and lattes. There is also a food menu, featuring breakfast bagel sandwiches, overnight oats, and Greek yogurt parfaits, as well as some on-the-go choices like granola bars and pastries.

Don’t let the unassuming setup in Government Camp deter you; there are serious drinks being served. The coffee shop operates out of a window at Valian’s Sports, 88510 E. Government Camp Loop. Fernie’s runs independently of its host, which offers gear for skiing, riding, paddling, biking, and more (learn more online at valianssports.com).

Fernie’s Government Camp is open from 6-11 a.m. Thursday-Monday.

Folks can also visit the original Fernie’s Coffee, 73265 Highway 26 in Rhododendron. That location offers a wider selection of food, including lunch options. Learn more at fernies-coffee.foodjoyy.com
