We were here 2 years ago, stopped and loved this place. We're back again. And River 1/Sawtooth Coffee is just as great as I remembered. The gentleman owner I interacted with was very pleasant to talk to. The coffee I ordered was perfect. Hot, excellent flavor and not acidic. This is our go to place when we are in the area.
