Tite Knot Craft Coffee runs four separate addresses across Redmond, Oregon, which is unusual for a shop in a city this size and worth telling plainly, address by address. What started as a truck parked outside a 1950s house on 10th Street in January 2021 has grown into a four floor operation covering downtown, the Dry Canyon side of town, a dedicated bakery room on Veterans Way, and a south side drive thru on Canal Boulevard.


The shop sums itself up on its own homepage in six words: specialty coffee, fresh baked goods and great people. Local press has backed up the middle part of that line. The Bulletin marked the shop's fourth year with a January 2025 feature built around its pastries, and the Redmond Spokesman's July 2026 roundup of the city's best coffee spots opened its Tite Knot entry by counting four different locations across Redmond.


Four separate physical addresses under one coffee shop name is rare for a city of roughly 36,000 people, and it says something real about how the business grew. A shop does not open its fourth address unless the first three gave it a reason to believe a fourth was worth building. Walking through each floor individually, starting with the house where it began, tells that growth story honestly rather than compressing it into a single vague mention of a shop with several locations, and it gives each address, and each part of Redmond it serves, its own due.


Four Floors, Four Addresses

Tite Knot's four Redmond locations are worth naming individually rather than folding into one general mention. The original room sits at 706 SW 10th St, inside the 1950s house where the shop's story began. The Dry Canyon Club room runs at 1865 NW Hemlock Ave, on the northwest side of the city. The Central Bakery is at 950 SW Veterans Way. And a drive thru serves the south side of Redmond at 4297 SW Canal Blvd.


Each of those four addresses is a genuinely separate Redmond floor, not a single shop with one address and a marketing name attached to different spaces. All four carry a Redmond, Oregon 97756 address, and the shop lists all four together on its own site, so the footprint is spread across four distinct corners of one city rather than reaching into Bend or Sisters.


Each of these four floors meets Redmond in a different format. A converted house on 10th Street is a room to walk into and sit down in. A bakery room on Veterans Way is built around a pastry case. A corner room near Dry Canyon sits in a part of town shaped by the canyon itself. And a drive thru on Canal Boulevard is built for people who never leave the car. Four addresses is not four copies of the same shop, it is four different ways of reaching Redmond residents wherever they happen to be that morning.


It Started With a Truck

Tite Knot opened in January 2021, starting from a truck parked on the property of the 1950s house that is now its original 10th Street location. That is a genuinely grounded way for a coffee business to begin, serving out of a truck before ever operating inside the building it would eventually call home.


That 10th Street house carries its own history, a 1950s structure that predates the coffee shop entirely and later became Tite Knot's original room once the business moved from the truck into the building. The combination, a truck start turning into a house cafe, is a specific, findable origin story rather than a generic opening narrative, and it gives 706 SW 10th St a meaning beyond its street number.


Starting from a truck, rather than leasing a finished storefront from day one, is a meaningfully different kind of beginning. It means serving customers and building a following before committing to a full building, a slower path than opening a finished cafe outright. That January 2021 truck start is part of what makes Tite Knot's eventual growth to four floors feel earned rather than assumed, and it is why the house on 10th Street is still called the original.


The Pastries The Bulletin Wrote About

The Bulletin, the daily paper for Central Oregon, published a feature on Tite Knot on January 14, 2025. Its headline called Tite Knot a Redmond coffee shop with exquisite pastries and framed the piece around the shop celebrating four years of business. For a shop that opened in January 2021, that timing lines up exactly with its fourth anniversary.


Local press building a whole feature around a coffee shop's pastries, rather than its espresso alone, is worth noticing. It points to a business whose baked goods earned attention on their own, which fits the shop's own description of specialty coffee and fresh baked goods side by side, and fits the fact that one of its four floors is literally named the Central Bakery.


The same Bulletin piece listed the 10th Street house at 706 SW 10th St with hours of 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Those were the hours printed in January 2025, so a visitor planning a trip today should treat them as a starting point and check the shop's own listing for the current schedule before driving over.


What the Spokesman Said in 2026

The Redmond Spokesman ran a roundup of the best coffee spots in Redmond on July 23, 2026, opening with the line that whether you just flew into RDM or are on your way to work, a coffee run comes first. Tite Knot is one of the shops it chose to name.


The Spokesman described Tite Knot as having four different locations across Redmond and named them by type: the central bakery, an outdoor food cart, the Dry Canyon Club corner, and a drive thru. That count matches the four floors the shop lists on its own site, and it shows a reader that the business runs in more than one format, from a sit down bakery room to a cart outside to a window built for cars.


Two separate newspapers, eighteen months apart, choosing to write about the same Redmond shop is a quiet form of praise. The Bulletin came for the pastries and the four year mark. The Spokesman came for the whole Redmond footprint. Between them they give a reader a dated, published record of how the business looked in early 2025 and again in the summer of 2026.


In Tite Knot's Own Words

The headline on Tite Knot's site reads specialty coffee, fresh baked goods and great people, and its description promises handcrafted espresso, an on site bakery and cozy vibes at four locations. Those are Tite Knot's own words about itself, and they line up with what both newspapers chose to highlight in their coverage a year and a half apart.


Its about page is titled with the phrase Redmond Community Hub, which says a lot about how the shop sees its role. A coffee shop that describes itself as a community hub, and then opens locations on four different sides of the city, is putting that idea into practice at the street level rather than leaving it as a slogan.


The shop's own blog adds seasonal color. Recent posts cover fall flavors, including a pumpkin spice lineup, and one post announces the Dry Canyon Club under the headline Now Pouring at the Dry Canyon Club, describing it as Tite Knot's newest coffee spot in Redmond. That makes the Hemlock Avenue location the most recent of the four floors by the shop's own account.


Four Floors on Redmond's Map

The original 10th Street house sits in the older downtown grid, a few blocks from Patrick's Corner and Centennial Park, in a converted 1950s home rather than a purpose built storefront. It is the address most tied to the shop's January 2021 beginning. It is also the address The Bulletin printed in its January 2025 feature, the room most readers of that article would have gone looking for.


The Dry Canyon Club room on NW Hemlock Avenue sits on the northwest side of Redmond, near the canyon that runs through that part of the city and its trail system. The Central Bakery on SW Veterans Way sits on its own named corridor, and the drive thru on SW Canal Boulevard serves the south side, a part of Redmond shaped more by newer residential growth and through traffic than by historic buildings.


Laid out that way, Tite Knot's four floors cover downtown, the northwest, the bakery corridor and the south side. Few single shops in any Central Oregon city spread across that much of one town, and it is exactly the kind of detail a citywide summary tends to flatten into a single line about a shop with several locations.


What Four Addresses Says About a Community

It is worth stepping back and thinking about what it means for a Redmond coffee shop to grow to four physical locations rather than staying at one. Growth like that does not happen in a vacuum. It happens because enough people kept showing up at the first location, and then the second, that expanding into a third and a fourth made sense.


That growth pattern says something about Redmond too, a city with enough appetite for specialty coffee and fresh pastry to support four separate floors under one name, spread across downtown, the northwest side, a dedicated bakery and the south side drive thru corridor. One shop expanding this widely within one city between January 2021 and the Spokesman's July 2026 roundup is a small, specific data point about how Redmond's coffee culture has developed over those five and a half years.


None of that requires guessing at sales or inventing demand figures that were never measured. It simply means noticing what a four floor expansion, documented address by address on the shop's own site and in two newspapers, implies about the community supporting it.


A Redmond Story Told in Full

Put together, Tite Knot's story runs from a truck outside a 1950s house in January 2021 to four separate Redmond addresses today: the original 10th Street house, the Dry Canyon Club on Hemlock Avenue, the Central Bakery on Veterans Way, and a drive thru on Canal Boulevard. The Bulletin praised its pastries at the four year mark, and the Spokesman counted all four locations in its 2026 roundup.


That is a complete story, told through specific addresses, specific dates and specific press coverage, without needing to exaggerate anything about how the business grew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Tite Knot Craft Coffee's four Redmond floors?

Tite Knot runs four Redmond, Oregon addresses: the original house at 706 SW 10th St, the Dry Canyon Club at 1865 NW Hemlock Ave, the Central Bakery at 950 SW Veterans Way, and a drive thru at 4297 SW Canal Blvd on the south side of the city. All four carry a Redmond 97756 address, and each serves a different part of town, from the downtown grid to the Canal Boulevard corridor.


When did Tite Knot open, and how did it start?

Tite Knot opened in January 2021, serving from a truck parked at the 1950s house on 10th Street before moving into the building itself. That house, at 706 SW 10th St, is still the shop's original room. From that single truck start the business grew to four separate Redmond floors by the time the Redmond Spokesman counted them in its July 2026 coffee roundup.


Did local press cover Tite Knot's pastries?

Yes. The Bulletin published a feature on January 14, 2025, headlined around a Redmond coffee shop with exquisite pastries celebrating four years of business. The timing matches the shop's January 2021 opening. It fits the shop's own line about specialty coffee and fresh baked goods, and the fact that one of its four floors, on Veterans Way, is named the Central Bakery.


What hours did The Bulletin list for the 10th Street house?

The Bulletin's January 2025 feature listed 706 SW 10th St with hours of 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Those were the hours printed at the shop's four year mark. Hours can shift by season or by floor, so check Tite Knot's own listing for the current schedule before making a special trip downtown.


What did the Redmond Spokesman say about Tite Knot in 2026?

The Spokesman's July 23, 2026 roundup of the best coffee spots in Redmond named Tite Knot and described four different locations across the city: the central bakery, an outdoor food cart, the Dry Canyon Club corner, and a drive thru. That list lines up with the four addresses the shop names on its own site, from 10th Street to Canal Boulevard.


Which Tite Knot floor is the newest?

By the shop's own account, the Dry Canyon Club at 1865 NW Hemlock Ave is the newest. A post on Tite Knot's blog announced it under the headline Now Pouring at the Dry Canyon Club and called it the newest coffee spot in Redmond. The room sits on the northwest side of the city, near the canyon that gives it its name, well away from the original 10th Street house.


How does Tite Knot describe itself?

Its site headline reads specialty coffee, fresh baked goods and great people, and its description mentions handcrafted espresso, an on site bakery and cozy vibes at four locations. Its about page carries the phrase Redmond Community Hub. Those are the shop's own words, and they match what The Bulletin in 2025 and the Spokesman in 2026 chose to highlight.


Where is Tite Knot's Central Bakery?

The Central Bakery is at 950 SW Veterans Way in Redmond, one of the shop's four addresses and the one named for baking. The Bulletin's January 2025 feature praised the shop's pastries as exquisite, and the Spokesman listed the central bakery first among Tite Knot's four locations in July 2026. It sits on its own corridor, separate from the 10th Street house and Hemlock Avenue.


Where is Tite Knot's drive thru?

The drive thru is at 4297 SW Canal Blvd on the south side of Redmond. It is one of four Tite Knot addresses, alongside the 10th Street house, the Dry Canyon Club on NW Hemlock Ave and the Central Bakery on SW Veterans Way. Canal Boulevard serves a part of the city shaped by newer homes and through traffic, and the Spokesman counted the drive thru in its 2026 roundup.


Is Tite Knot in Redmond, Oregon or somewhere else?

All four Tite Knot floors are in Redmond, Oregon, in Deschutes County, with 97756 addresses on 10th Street, Hemlock Avenue, Veterans Way and Canal Boulevard. None of them is in Bend or Sisters, and none has anything to do with Redmond, Washington outside Seattle. Keeping the state in any search, Redmond OR, is the simplest way to land on the right city and the right four doors.


Work with Hillcane

Tite Knot started from a truck outside a 1950s house on 10th Street in January 2021. Today it runs four separate Redmond addresses, and The Bulletin has already written about its pastries.
