Designer Notes
Sisters Coffee Company’s newest café occupies the ground floor of Jackstraw, a mixed-use apartment community connecting Bend’s Old Mill District and downtown. Conceived as a lively neighborhood gathering place the café exudes warmth and approachability to a site shaped largely by vehicular movement. Offering an interior atmosphere that feels welcoming, grounded, and unmistakably human the space is an expression of the brand’s salt-of-the-earth character.
The design language draws from the site’s history as an early lumber mill and from Sisters Coffee Co.’s humble beginnings in a small cabin in Sisters, Oregon. Material-forward and unpretentious, the approach prioritizes honest construction, tactile surfaces, and layered forms that suggest use, craft, and longevity. Exposed concrete columns establish a clear structural rhythm, around which wood, steel, and custom elements are composed to create a space that feels familiar, enduring, and rooted in the site’s industrial past and brand’s deeply engrained Mountain West identity.
The result is a space that honors the company’s humble beginnings and the region’s working history, offering a warm, honest, and welcoming place for visitors.
