"Found this gem while driving toward Mount Baker and decided to stop in the small town of Skykomish. The town itself is charming with a railroad running right through the center, and Sky River Coffee fits perfectly into that vibe. I needed to attend a meeting and this spot was ideal. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with Wi-Fi, which worked great. I chose to sit outside since it was nice and chilly, sipping hot coffee while working, and it was perfect. The coffee was excellent and the desserts we tried were just as good. What stood out even more was the people working there. They were kind, helpful, and even suggested places to check out nearby. It felt like more than just a café — it gave off such a welcoming and happy atmosphere that you just want to sit and enjoy for a while. They also had some cucumbers for dogs outside 🥹 If you’re anywhere near this area, Sky River Coffee is a must-stop, not only for the drinks but also for the charm of the town and the warm hospitality.

"I think the main appeal here is that this is a real coffee shop, with a real espresso machine, in a tiny cute town. We have been here twice for our coffee fix while road tripping. It's a great place for a book, and there is a toy area if you have kids. The only reason I take away a star is because, in my opinion, the coffee is good not great. I've tried their drip as well as their lattes. Taste is subjective (I prefer very light roasts), and this is better than anything else nearby. Also, I suspect the pastries are from Costco. Regardless, Sky River Coffee Is great for a quaint town, but it's not like a hipster Seattle sort of coffee shop. That's part of its charm, I suppose. And we will definitely keep coming back."

"This is a pretty neat coffee shop right in the heart of the quaint little railroad town known as Skykomish. If you haven't stopped by you really should. Definitely take a weekend and check it out. There are amazing places to stay between Gold Bar, Index, Baring, and Skykomish. Take a slow lazy weekend and just chill. Check out the scenery, railroad museum, and a couple small shops. Get a beverage at Sky River Coffee. Check out the Cascadia or the Whistling Post for some good grub. Give these little towns up the mountain a chance to show y'all what else they have to offer."

"Not only does this spot make an excellent latte, I was greatly impressed with the speed at which they were turning out drinks on a busy Saturday! The pass was shut down temporarily due to overflow and I waited less than 5 min for my drink even though the cafe was packed! The latte was super good and I even saw the barista remake drinks for patrons that had asked. Good coffee, great service. Would recommend. Also it’s cute inside and they have free chess and other games. Looks like a good spot for summer too."

"Great stop-in place to just visit and warm up or pop in for a nice beverage on the way to Leavenworth on Hwy 2. Mo makes the difference for this gem of a place - coffee, tea or cold drink... it's a very well kept and cozy corner of Skykomish, Wa."
