Coffee and Community
A Redmond coffee shop has opened a Bend location. Junction Roastery and Social Club opened Nov. 24 near the intersection of SE Wilson Avenue and Ninth Street in the new Midway Campus building. The coffee shop roasts its own beans and serves up specialty coffees. Seasonal flavors include peppermint iced eggnog and peppermint mochas. The flavored syrups are from Holy Kakow in Sisters. Pastries include coffee cake baked in-house, croissant breakfast sandwiches, egg bites and items from Sisters Bakery.
The owner is Bo Olson who also owns Niblick & Greenes at Eagle Crest Resort. Marketing Director Jacqueline Berger says the name Junction Roastery and Social Club is meant to inspire community connections.

The original Redmond location, which opened three years ago, is on SW Deschutes Avenue.
