A new coffee shop that many may recognize has opened its doors in downtown Puyallup.
Rainier Valley Coffee has launched the soft opening of its brick-and-mortar establishment at 108 N. Meridian, where Gather Juice previously operated before its closure in December. The café is currently open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., as announced on their Facebook page.
The announcement mentioned that not all items from their complete menu are available yet, as the team is still training and adjusting to the new environment.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience and support while we grow into everything over the next few weeks,” the post stated.
Rainier Valley Coffee already has drive-thru locations in Bonney Lake, Enumclaw, Maple Valley, and Renton. They opened a new drive-thru at the University Place location in early May. Additionally, they have a drive-thru in Puyallup at 11016 Valley Ave. E., which is set to close in July, as shared by Amanda Faille, owner of Rainier Valley Coffee, to The News Tribune earlier this year.
“We’re losing our spot in Puyallup because the owner sold it a year and a half into our lease. Our lease stipulates, basically, that we have a year to get out if so requested,” Faille explained previously. “We make our sandwiches out of that location, so we need another. Thus, we decided to occupy this space.”
The new Meridian location will be the chain’s first sit-down café, offering a more “food-driven concept,” according to Faille.
