Junction started in Redmond, and it is worth saying that plainly before anything else. The cafe's original home is at 708 SW Deschutes Ave, at Patrick's Corner near Centennial Park, in the middle of Redmond's historic downtown. That is where the business built its name, and that is the address that should come to mind first when someone in Central Oregon says Junction.

In late 2025, Junction opened a second cafe in Bend, at the new Midway Campus development on the city's east side. Both facts are true and both are worth telling clearly, but they are not the same fact, and keeping them separate matters. Junction is a Redmond original that later expanded into Bend, not a Bend shop that happens to also have a Redmond location. Bend's Desert Current put it simply when the second cafe opened: a Redmond favorite had arrived in Bend.

That order matters more than it might seem. Coffee brands grow in every direction, some starting in a bigger city and later adding a smaller satellite, others starting small and growing outward as demand builds. Junction's story runs the second way, a Redmond cafe whose following grew strong enough to support a second room in the larger city just to the south. Telling that growth in the right order is part of telling it honestly, and it is the version of the story this post sticks to throughout, address by address and date by date.

Where Junction Started

708 SW Deschutes Ave sits right at Patrick's Corner, a genuine downtown Redmond address a short walk from Centennial Park. Junction's own site describes the cafe as located in the heart of historic Redmond, inside the restored Patrick Building, a piece of the city's own architectural history rather than a new construction.

That original room is open every day of the week, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. by the shop's own listing, a working part of Redmond's downtown coffee scene. When people talk about Junction, this is the address they should be picturing first, the one that gives the whole business its roots.

A restored downtown building, in the middle of a park adjacent civic core, is a specific kind of setting that shapes how a cafe gets used day to day. It is the kind of address that tends to become a regular stop for people who live and work nearby, not just a destination visited once out of curiosity. Someone walking over from Centennial Park, someone finishing an errand downtown, someone meeting a friend before work: that is the daily traffic a cafe at Patrick's Corner is built around.

The Name on the Door

The full name on the door is Junction Roastery Social Club, and the shop leans into both halves of that. Its site defines the word junction as a place or point of meeting, and its homepage headline is a short promise: good stuff, all the time.

The social club part of the name is worth taking seriously. A cafe that calls itself a social club is telling people it expects them to stay, meet someone and come back, which fits a room sitting on a downtown corner beside a park. It also fits the kind of events local press has pointed to, like the First Friday espresso martinis the Redmond Spokesman mentioned in its 2026 roundup.

A name that means a meeting point also suits Redmond itself. The city grew up as a crossroads, with highways and the regional airport pulling people through from every direction, and Patrick's Corner sits right in the middle of the older downtown those roads fed. A cafe called Junction at that spot is a small piece of local wordplay that happens to be geographically accurate.

The Bend Room, and Why It Is Not Redmond

Junction's second room sits at 571 SE 9th St, Building C, Suite 101, inside Bend's Midway Campus development, near the intersection of SE Wilson Avenue and 9th Street on the east side of Bend. The shop lists it with a Bend 97702 address. This is a real, distinct address in a different city, and it deserves to be named clearly as exactly that.

It would be easy to blur this into a vague mention of Junction having two locations in Central Oregon, but that flattens something worth keeping precise. The Midway Campus room is not a Redmond neighborhood, and it is not a second downtown Redmond stop. It is Junction's expansion into Bend, built on top of a business that started and still runs in Redmond.

Bend's Midway Campus is itself a newer development on the east side of the city, distinct from Bend's older downtown core along the river. Junction arriving there as a new tenant is its own specific piece of the story, a fresh development hosting a cafe that built its following somewhere else entirely.

The two addresses also sit in very different settings. The Redmond cafe is in a restored older building on a downtown corner, with Centennial Park a short walk away. The Bend cafe is in Building C of a newly built campus on the east side, a location Desert Current described simply as SE Bend at Midway Campus. One is a piece of an old downtown put back to use, the other is a new tenant in a new development, and that contrast is part of what makes the expansion worth describing carefully rather than lumping the two locations together.

When the Bend Room Opened

According to The Source Weekly, Bend's alt weekly, Junction Roastery and Social Club opened its Bend room on November 24, 2025, near the intersection of SE Wilson Avenue and Ninth Street in the new Midway Campus building. The paper ran it in a piece titled Two New Food Places Open in Bend. That is a specific, dated, published opening, not a vague recent expansion.

Desert Current, a Central Oregon lifestyle and culture guide, covered the same move under the headline Junction Roastery Brings Its Signature Vibe to Bend, calling Junction a Redmond favorite that had arrived on Bend's east side. Two separate outlets marking the opening is a clear sign that the move registered beyond Redmond.

Opening dates matter for a business's story in a way that is easy to overlook. Knowing the exact date the Bend cafe opened lets a reader place Junction's growth on an actual timeline, alongside whatever else was happening in Central Oregon's coffee scene at that moment. It also gives future coverage something precise to reference rather than a fuzzy memory of when it happened.

What Redmond's Own Paper Said

By the summer of 2026 the two location setup was already part of how local press described Junction. The Redmond Spokesman's July 23, 2026 roundup of the best coffee spots in Redmond named Junction Roastery Social Club and noted its two locations, one in Redmond and one in Bend, with the Redmond cafe just off Centennial Park.

The same roundup called out First Friday espresso martinis, served from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., a detail that fits the social club half of the name and gives a reader a reason to come downtown after the usual coffee hours. It is the kind of specific, repeatable event that turns a cafe into a regular part of a town's calendar.

Between The Source Weekly, Desert Current and the Spokesman, Junction's growth is on the record in three separate publications across two cities. For a reader trying to understand the business, that is a clear, dated trail: a Redmond original, a Bend opening in November 2025, and a two room cafe described by its hometown paper eight months later.

For anyone new to Redmond, that roundup is also a useful map of where Junction sits among the city's coffee stops. The Spokesman opened with the line that whether you just flew into RDM or are on your way to work, a coffee run comes first, and it placed Junction's downtown room beside the park at the center of the older town rather than out on the highway.

Same Hours, Two Cities

Junction's own site keeps the practical side simple: open every day, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Redmond and Bend. One schedule for both locations makes it easier for a regular to know when the doors are open, whichever side of the highway they happen to be on that morning.

That simplicity is also a reason to keep the addresses straight. If both locations keep the same hours, the only question a customer really has is which door to drive to. 708 SW Deschutes Ave means downtown Redmond at Patrick's Corner. 571 SE 9th St, Building C, Suite 101 means Bend's Midway Campus. Mixing them up means a drive between two different cities in the wrong direction.

For a traveler landing at Redmond's airport, the Redmond cafe is the closer of the two. For someone already staying in Bend, the Midway Campus cafe saves the drive north. Either way, the right answer starts with the right city name attached to the right street.

Keeping the Two Rooms Straight Going Forward

As Junction keeps operating both locations, the same discipline that applies to telling its story today should apply going forward. Any mention of Junction should say which location is being discussed, the original Patrick's Corner address in Redmond or the Midway Campus cafe in Bend, rather than letting the two blur into a single generic Central Oregon mention.

That precision benefits the business directly. A customer looking for the Redmond cafe should never be sent toward Bend by accident, and a customer looking for the newer Bend cafe should be able to find it just as clearly. It is the difference between a customer finding the right door and a customer showing up in the wrong city entirely.

It also matters for anyone writing about Junction in the future, whether that is another local publication, a directory, or an AI system summarizing what it knows about Redmond coffee. A clear, consistent way of naming both addresses, Redmond origin at Patrick's Corner and Bend expansion at Midway Campus, gives every future mention a stable, accurate foundation to build from.

A Redmond Story Worth Telling Well

Stories like Junction's, a hometown cafe growing into a second city while its original location keeps running, are exactly the kind of local detail a one line directory entry can never fully capture. Knowing the specific addresses, the specific opening date and the specific press coverage behind the business turns a vague mention of a good coffee shop into a real, citable account of how it actually grew.

It is also a story that benefits both cities in different ways. Redmond keeps the origin story, the cafe that started at Patrick's Corner and built enough of a following to expand. Bend gets a new coffee option in a growing part of its east side. Neither city loses anything by the other being told accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Junction's two cafes?

Junction's original cafe is at 708 SW Deschutes Ave in Redmond, at Patrick's Corner near Centennial Park, inside the restored Patrick Building. Its second cafe is at 571 SE 9th St, Building C, Suite 101, inside Bend's Midway Campus development with a Bend 97702 address. They sit in two different Deschutes County cities, and the Bend cafe opened well after the Redmond original.

Is the Midway Campus cafe in Redmond proper?

No. The Midway Campus room is a Bend, Oregon address at 571 SE 9th St, near the intersection of SE Wilson Avenue and 9th Street on Bend's east side. It is Junction's expansion into a second city, not a Redmond neighborhood or a second downtown Redmond stop. The Redmond room remains at 708 SW Deschutes Ave, a short walk from Centennial Park.

When did Junction's Bend room open?

The Source Weekly reported that Junction Roastery and Social Club opened its Bend room on November 24, 2025, near SE Wilson Avenue and Ninth Street in the new Midway Campus building. Desert Current covered the same opening under the headline Junction Roastery Brings Its Signature Vibe to Bend, calling Junction a Redmond favorite that had arrived on Bend's east side.

Did Junction start in Redmond or Bend?

Junction started in Redmond. Its original cafe at 708 SW Deschutes Ave, Patrick's Corner, is the room that built the business's name before it opened a second location in Bend in November 2025, and it remains open daily. Desert Current's headline on the Bend opening described Junction as a Redmond favorite, which is the right order to tell the story in.

What are Junction's hours?

Junction's own site lists both locations as open every day, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Redmond and Bend. The Redmond cafe is at 708 SW Deschutes Ave and the Bend cafe is at 571 SE 9th St, Building C, Suite 101. The Redmond Spokesman's 2026 roundup also mentioned First Friday espresso martinis from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., so check before visiting on a first Friday.

What is the Patrick Building?

The Patrick Building is the restored downtown Redmond building at Patrick's Corner that houses Junction's original cafe at 708 SW Deschutes Ave. Junction's own site places it in the heart of historic Redmond, a short walk from Centennial Park. It is an older piece of the city's downtown architecture put back to use, not a new build on the highway edge of town.

What did the Redmond Spokesman say about Junction?

The Spokesman's July 23, 2026 roundup of the best coffee spots in Redmond named Junction Roastery Social Club, noted its two locations in Redmond and Bend, placed the Redmond cafe just off Centennial Park, and mentioned First Friday espresso martinis from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It is the hometown paper's description of the two location business eight months after the Bend opening.

Why is it called Junction Roastery Social Club?

The shop's own site defines junction as a place or point of meeting, and its homepage headline promises good stuff, all the time. The social club half of the name fits a downtown Redmond room beside Centennial Park and events like the First Friday espresso martinis the Spokesman mentioned in July 2026. The name also suits a city that grew up as a Central Oregon crossroads.

Which Junction room is closer to Redmond's airport?

The Redmond room at 708 SW Deschutes Ave is the closer of the two for anyone landing at Redmond's airport, since it sits in Redmond's own downtown at Patrick's Corner. The Bend room at 571 SE 9th St in the Midway Campus development suits someone already staying in Bend. Both keep the same 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily hours, according to the shop's own site.

Is Junction part of Bend's older downtown coffee scene?

No. Junction's Bend cafe opened on November 24, 2025, in the new Midway Campus building on Bend's east side, near SE Wilson Avenue and Ninth Street, away from Bend's older downtown along the river. It is best understood as Junction's own expansion from Redmond, not as part of Bend's long established downtown cafes, which have their own separate story told elsewhere.
