In the 1950's a Texaco station was built in La Grande Oregon. Locals came to fuel up their cars, but also to catch up on local news and to grab a cup of coffee.

Today the tradition lives on in the form of a hip coffee shop serving up delicious teas, goodies, and coffee, and it's still a great place to catch up with friends.

The Local serves sustainable, farm direct Mukilteo coffee from Mukilteo Coffee Roasters. This coffee has a smooth finish and is slow roasted. You can check out the coffee menu at The Local here. The Local also serves up tasty chai latte, matcha tea, and Soul Chai Rooibos tea.

If you're looking for something sweet, The Local serves up awesome handcrafted ice cream in a waffle cone from Stella's Ice Cream. Gluten free waffle cones are also available.
