Pour 818: A new place to come together in the 541

COTTAGE GROVE — Something new is brewing in Cottage Grove.
Pour 818 opened up its tea and coffee shop on 818 Main St. in Cottage Grove on Jan. 11. Around 200 grovers came in on the first day for a cup of specialty coffee and tea, with locally sourced pastries.
Two days later, power went out in downtown Cottage Grove, and the coffee shop was closed for a week as the town experienced an ice storm so devastating that a State of Emergency was declared on Jan. 14.
Pour 818 reopened its doors on Jan. 19, and community members were able to grab a cup of coffee and find connection after such an isolating week for some.
“We hope the shop becomes a safe place for everyone to come, socialize and build relationships – whatever that looks like,” said Stacie Quimby, who co-owners the business with Heather Pennington. “I don’t think you can go anywhere in Cottage Grove or maybe even in Oregon and get the kind of coffee we have, but customer service and the social aspect of Pour 818 is also very important to us, offering a place where the community can come together.”
