Our Story

Started with one oven & a borrowed espresso machine

Juniper & Rye opened in 2014 in a former hardware store with six tables and a dream of a place where neighbors actually know each other's names. Twelve years later, we still bake every croissant by hand and still roast every bean ourselves.

We buy from 32 farms and makers within 80 miles, compost everything we can, and pay our team a living wage with shared tips and health benefits.

"A café should feel like the kitchen of a friend who happens to make really good coffee."

"The almond croissant ruined every other croissant for me. I come in three times a week and the team knows my order before I reach the counter. Best café in Alder Creek, easily."

"We ordered the Brunch Spread for 60 people at our office open house. On time, beautifully set up, and every vegan and gluten-free guest was labeled and looked after. Already rebooked."

"Rye Benedict and a lavender cold brew on the patio with my dog — that's my perfect Saturday. Warm staff, great music, and the wait is always worth it."
