A vibrant new coffee shop has opened its doors in downtown Puyallup, bringing an exciting addition to the community.
Rainier Valley Coffee celebrated the soft launch of their brick-and-mortar location at 108 N. Meridian. This space was formerly occupied by Gather Juice before its closure in December. Their operating hours are from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., as noted on their Facebook announcement regarding the opening.
The Facebook update indicated that certain items from their full menu may not yet be accessible as the team continues to train, refine processes, and adapt to the new environment.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience and support as we grow into everything over the next few weeks,” the post stated.
Rainier Valley Coffee operates drive-thru locations in Bonney Lake, Enumclaw, Maple Valley, and Renton. Their University Place spot opened in early May. Additionally, there is a drive-thru in Puyallup at 11016 Valley Ave. E., but this location is set to close in July, Amanda Faille, one of the owners, informed The News Tribune in February.
“We are vacating our Puyallup location because the property owner sold it a year and a half into our lease. Our lease specifies that we must vacate within a year if requested,” Faille explained earlier this year. “We prepare our sandwiches at that location, so we need to find a new space. That is why we chose to move into this one.”
The new location on Meridian marks the franchise’s first sit-down café, designed with a more “food-driven concept,” Faille mentioned.
