Espresso Chalet – Gold Bar, Washington - Gastro Obscura

"One of the filming locations of the 1987 comedy Harry and The Hendersons also happens to be the longest-running espresso stand along Highway 2. It’s hard to miss, given that a 14-foot-tall wooden Bigfoot statue from the movie stands watch over the place. Information about local folklore of the Pacific Northwest, not to mention paraphernalia related to the furry cryptid are available in the shop. The coffee and pastries at this mother-and-daughter-run operation are great, but what really sells it is the view. Take your latte out to the back patio for a breathtaking view of the mountains. Know Before You Go The espresso stand is open daily from 7am until early evening." - Gizmo Chaos, mdwpj

Worthwhile stop that was on our bucket list. The view from the back deck is amazing. The quirky Bigfoot touches are fun. If you arrive at the wrong time though, this place is packed and the wait is long, with little space to stand in line. Plenty of off street parking that’s free.

What a crazy place to get a coffee. We love it. We were on a trip to Leavenworth and had to stop here. Coffee was great. We also had a cookie. The view was fantastic. And if you need anything with a Bigfoot on it you are at the right place.

Stumbled upon this Espresso Chalet on a highway drive and was wowed by the experience. The views of the Cascades are gorgeous from the back deck, making even a simple coffee feel special. The staff are friendly and helpful. Their quirky Bigfoot, Sasquatch-themed charm gives it character. It’s a memorable little coffee stop you won’t regret.

Lots of cool scenery off the highway. This place seems to get a lot ok flak for the owner being cranky, but I didn’t experience that at all! Be respectful, only utilize resources if you’ve made a purchase, and have a good time- seems normal for a business to me! Coffee was good! The Bigfoot cookie was even better.

Fun stop for excellent drinks on way to destination - Steven's or over the pass. Barista was experienced and friendly. Had chai with shot of espresso. Excellent flavor, hot, great for Autumn drive pick me up! Thanks so much. Pay cash and save $. Great gazebo to take in view, eat, rest up or stretch. They offer baked goods, souvenirs and more.

Nice little pit stop on the way to Leavenworth! The coffee is okay, but not amazing. They do have a ton of latte and mocha options. Plus, they’ve got a nice space in the back where you can sit and enjoy. The staff is super friendly too!

It's such a cute coffee shop with some of the BEST views of the mountains. Make sure to carve out some time to stop here if you are coming during the weekend as it DOES get quite busy. I stood in line for about 10 minutes to order our coffees. Afterward, we sat in the gazebo they had out back and enjoyed the views.

Such a great spot, the coffee is really good and my goodness there are so many options! Lots of bits to eat and little souvenir options. The view from the seating area is beautiful. Definitely recommend stopping by. There are restrooms but they are porta potty.
