In November 2024, The Pantry — a cozy coffee and mercantile shop tucked along NW Newport Avenue — announced it was for sale. Known for its house-made syrups, sustainable goods and delicious pastries, the neighborhood favorite has officially found new owners. Joel Morgan and his family took over the space in mid-March.

The listing immediately struck a chord with Morgan, who recently moved to Bend and wanted to connect more deeply with the community. Now, The Pantry is a family-run effort with Morgan as the primary owner; he’s joined by his wife Robin, daughter Rylee and Rylee’s partner Caelan.

“What drew me to The Pantry is the community connection,” Morgan says. “I’m excited to help us become more well-known and create a space that’s enjoyable, relaxing and welcoming.”

Rather than reinventing The Pantry, Morgan hopes to build on what makes it special, sustaining its mission while helping it thrive.

The coffee menu will stay true to its roots — with in-house syrups, dairy alternatives and specialty drinks — but with some thoughtful additions. The team plans to reintroduce popular items like breakfast burritos and pastries, extend hours (including Sundays and Mondays) and enhance the refillery with more locally sourced products. Online ordering and a grand reopening are also in the works.
