We walked in here to check it out and I’m so glad we did. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. They even have a cafe next door which is an added bonus. Delish pastries, coffee and even a menu. The chili sold out ☹️so we weren’t able to try it. Found my daughter an awesome snow jacket on clearance and paid half price. What an awesome deal. Great place to shop for souvenirs as well. Prices are reasonable and fair. The bathroom was clean and neatly decorated. We’ll definitely be stopping by when we’re in town again.

Strong coffee, well-curated outdoor gear, and a genuinely helpful and friendly owner—what a great place! We picked up some locally made souvenirs and kids’ shoes at the same price as you’d find at the big sporting goods stores. Most of all, we appreciated the owner’s thoughtful recommendations for family hikes and beautiful lakes. It’s clear he loves this area and enjoys helping others discover it too. (Chad, if you read this, we made it to Heart Lake and the water shoes were great for the stream crossing!)

This place is the real deal if you are looking for outdoor gear. I was totally impressed with the variety of items they had IN STOCK. I would not have expected that much to choose from in a small town. They had good quality merchandise at good prices. Something I was not expecting so far off of the interstate. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. If you were looking to buy they had a lot of selection and they had rental equipment too. A nice co-owned coffee shop next door too.

Great shop and super helpful staff. We came in from NC last spring for some fishing and outdoor activities. The owner was super helpful and got us going in the right direction for an amazing experience. Highly recommended!

Wow, this shop has not only restored my faith in retailers but even humanity itself We stopped in after forgetting snow boots for the kiddos at home. As soon as we walked in Chad, the owner greeted us with a sincerely friendly hello. He can out from behind the counter and helped us find EVERYTHING we needed. I was so pleasantly surprised at the incredible selection for all ages. We found everything we needed at competitive prices, amazing! Added bonus was the cafe attached next store. They had the most delicious house made scones and coffee that even finicky coffee drinkers like my better half enjoyed

? recommend and will definitely be back in the future (i.e. tomorrow morning for biscuits and gravy breakfast )

If you own a fly shop, you should probably know how to do a nail knot. Friendly people, but unfortunately inexperienced.

Amazing service! Both the Clearwater Coffee & Kitchen and the McCloud Outdoors & Gear Exchange.
Everyone was very friendly and immensely helpful! Both the store and the cafe were very clean; with a friendly atmosphere and the service was awesome!
Julie’s talent with baked goods was amazing! The biscuits and gravy (homemade) and the coffee cake muffin was so good!
Chads knowledge of the jet boil system thrilled my husband (because reading the back of the container does not compare to getting someone’s first hand experience).
Overall, this is a great place to visit! Grab a coffee or some food and relax out on the patio!
