It's not uncommon on a foggy Friday morning to smell the burnt fragrance of freshly roasted coffee beans emanating from River Roasters coffee shop on Bay Street. This quirky place is the only coffee shop in town with the means for roasting their own beans. Leslie Larson(photographed above), a barista who's been with the company for a number of years, says her favorite part of working there is "the atmosphere, the view, the coziness, the small town...but yet tourist feel, and the positivity that comes out from the people there." The Oregon coast's coffee experience is as good as it gets here. So, with all of the town's regulars and the out of towners present, the only thing missing is you.
