    The cutest little rock house ever! It's a real historic house converted to a trendy coffee shop/ice cream parlor. It's a must stop along the long hwy 95. We were traveling from boise Idaho to Winnemucca Nevada and made this our halfway stop to stretch our legs! The restrooms are amazing, The coffee was really good and she had all the condiments you could desire! Lots of choices too. Good menu for ice cream as well. Stop here for a real treat! Oh and since you are in Oregon...no sales tax either! Bonus!

    This place was unbelievable! I LOVE lemon ice cream and cannot find it very many places. They have lemon meringue pie ice cream. It was delicious!! The woman working there was super pleasant. Their bathrooms were very clean too. :-)

    We visited here 4 times (once each way) during our two trips from California to Idaho these past 2 months! This place is so special - it's a little house with a sign outside stating Expresso Shakes! Great catchy way to get peoples attention! My wife has the Rockachino which she feels is out of this world. My kids and I have the shakes - all the flavors are excellent - probably because the ice cream is fresh and home made. The bathrooms are also a great unique place to visit (the antithesis from the other gross gas station stops along the 10 1/2 hour drive). Though the service of the others whom we have met at Rockhouse work very hard (it's been hot these past two months), one young guy and one younger girl who bust their butts as they work alone and take on the one lined crowd which this place brings in, yesterday we got to meet the owner who after thousands of shakes, she is able to double or triple the speed of her other employees who would have all gotten 5 stars also. Such a fun quick need meeting experience!

    I have stopped there many times on my way thru town. I always order an Americano. The people,that work there are always super friendly, the service is fast and the coffee is as good as anywhere in a big town. The atmosphere is kind of funky and cool. It's kind of easy to miss but you will find it if you keep your eyes open. It is my must stop place in Jordan Valley!

    This time the kids skipped the ice cream, after the owner said she'd just made cinnamon rolls. Indeed. Yummy. This place is a welcome oasis on seriously lonely and desolate highway 95. If nothing else, stop for gas two doors down, and walk here for the restrooms.

    Great coffee shop on a lonely drive along US95. I've stopped twice now and love the coffee and the conversation with the staff. Even got me a pretty neat shirt on the first visit. Very comfortable setting inside, so go in, order, relax and enjoy. They also offer free WiFi, which is a plus since there is no Verizon coverage in this area.

    I've never been a huge coffee shop person, and normally wouldn't have considered stopping in a place like Rockhouse. However, we had gotten some hiking advice from a J.V. resident and wanted to 'return the favor' by supporting the economy there. Rockhouse was excellent. Sitting down with a cup of the Rocky Way (it was delicious) and a warm cinnamon roll after a day of snowshoeing in the mountains was perfect. The atmosphere is very comfortable and yes the restrooms are quite unique. We were the only customers so we spent our time there talking to the barista, Ace, about life in and around Jordan Valley. He was very friendly and the service was fantastic. I'm not sure when we'll be up in little old Jordan Valley again but I know where we will stop to warm up when we go.

    Best coffee anywhere. the rocky start is a good way to get going. Don't just stop and go. Wait for mr. Skinner to tell you about the family pictures. Bigger than life, and better.. I hope you get there when Henry the dog brings you in and takes you back out to your car. Don't just drive back to Portland and the bay area...take the road to cow lakes instead.

    oasis : something serving as a refuge, relief, or pleasant change from what is usual, annoying, difficult, etc.: Little Coffee House on the Prairie.... and not a moment too soon! 5 stars for being cute, friendly and for just existing in the middle of no-mans land! If there was ever a need for an oasis, route 95 in Oregon would be the place. The 255 mile trek up this 2 lane highway between Winnemucca, NV and Boise, Idaho is a tedious 4 hour journey. This does not include the drive from Reno to Winnemucca which also tests ones alertness skills on yet another monotonous 4 hour journey. The drive through western Oregon however is a beautiful example of how vast the western plains are and also how desolate. If you like big skies ( I do), wide open ranges and not a house, store or 7Eleven within 100 miles, then western Oregon is your place. However, it is a loooong drive. And then about two thirds of the way, up pops a tiny town. There along the highway a sign speaks to you asking; "Haven't you driven long enough without a cup of coffee"? The coffee house is so charming and welcoming even Hansel and Gretal couldn't resist. Step inside and you are greeted by a comfy, homelike cafe that also is a gift shop and cultural center. Cracker Barrel, be envious! Of course the rest rooms are the first thing many people will utilize. The woman's restroom has beautiful art murals made with tile and rocks and commissioned by an artist from Boise. There are several pieces of art that make you want to linger, and also scratch your head as you realize this is a really cool place...out here? Then you must peek in the men's restroom to view the art. Men, you need to ask for a tour and see this art in the woman's room. What else have you got to do? The coffee is strong ( you need it) and freshly ground. There are several sweets offered and rich high quality ice cream. Sip your caffeine inside and chat with other lonesome drivers or sit out under the trees on a grassy patio. Sip and marvel at this little town and this oasis here in what seems like an endless trip, which it is. Skinner's , you are a lifesaver and your little Rockhouse on the prairie rules the Oregon trail!

    On the road between our ranch and a visit to Dad's in the Mojave Desert, in Silver Lakes California. Our first milestone heading south is the Rockhouse, or it is the final accomplishment on the road back home. Either way, we indulge in something with calories, OR a tee-shirt, goat milk lotion, a greeting card, good book and so on. It is always open, like it has a heartbeat of its own and knows how far we have come or gone. And guess what? My Dad has to get his coffee fix there when he comes our way, and he will fill my order of "anything from the Skinner's Rockhouse". My sister had to to informed, before she actually made her first stop, but now she is hooked. That means everyone she ever encounters will learn about this little gem, she is the ultimate networker! And agreed, the ladies room rocks!! I want to thank the Skinners for the important service they provide and the class in which they provide it.

    Really great coffee in the middle of BFE. I had the pleasure(?) Of working here for part of a summer and Skinners was definitely the nright part to every day. When you're working outside in JV in July and August and it's 90-something degrees (or more), an iced mocha really hits the spot. You can imagine how happy we were to not only find a coffee shop in a town of about 20 people but then to come to find he makes really great coffee. It made that summer bearable. I haven't been there in a number of years (6? 7?), but hope and trust the owner is still putting out the great product he used to.

    Great place to stop on way to/from Boise. Coffee, teas and ice cream. Really clean and well appointed restrooms with fancy soap. If not too hot enjoy the outdoor seating.

    We drove up to Oregon by driving through Reno and up north through Nevada, into Idaho, then west into Oregon. The stretch into Nevada was really dreary but coming into Jordan Valley and finding this place was a real treat. It's a dinky little stone house-- really cute-- and they've got good coffee, ice cream, local interest books, gifts and posters of the area. There's also a Basque restaurant in town... a lot of the area was settled by Basques.

    The first public restroom on Highway 95 between Nevada and Idaho. It's a long drive through the desert with no rest areas. Which makes for very "unforgettable restrooms". :-) On the first visit, I had a chai which I believe was Oregon Chai from concentrate. As to the coffee, on the second visit I had a mocha and thought it a bit weak. But lots of interesting posters on the wall, a fireplace, and a great seating area out front make for an interesting stop.

    I spent a few weeks working in Jordan Valley and Rockhouse became a regular stop in the mornings. The people are very friendly, and the coffee is excellent, better than a major chain I now visit. The shop is also interesting. Definitely check this place out if you're ever in the area.

    After leaving Boise by 7:00 AM, we usually hit this spot just in time for a double mocha. You'll need the caffeine jolt to get you through the next 9 hours the back home to the Bay Area. The coffee is good. They have a great gift shop with lots of fun and creative merchandise. But the pièce de résistance of this place is the restrooms. Always clean and better decorated then the one I have at home.

    Good coffee and ice cream. I've stopped in here a few times and the staff were always friendly and the service was good. The shop also has unique photos and artifacts from the area. Highly recommended.
