The Local

Fast check out! There is another room attached to this place for more dining but it was packed and I didn't want to be disrespectful towards folks just eating their lunch but it had a cozy area to dine In. Bathrooms were clean and when we needed directions for other places to roam around while we waited for our check in at the hot springs, the young lady behind the counter wrote down some great spots for us to check out, outside of town. They had gluten-free muffins but also normal sandwichs 🥪 here. I had a white chocolate raspberry hot mocha and my fiance had a triple shot espresso. 👌 Was very clean and good, and I will come back again!

What a great spot! Old Texaco converted to a coffee, food and ice cream spot. Super open, updated and great food and drink. Will be going here as much as possible on our long-haul drives!

We love this spot! We are traveling through and are always on the lookout for local coffee shops and The Local is SO awesome! It has such a cool design, we love the indoor + outdoor vibe, and the coffee and food we have had has been delicious! It has been a great place to work for a couple days, with solid wifi and enough seating + outlets.

Good coffee shop. Has ice cream coffee and breakfast (from what I saw in the morning). Very cosy atmosphere. Breakfast sandwich was good (not excellent in my opinion). Definitely a good go to study/lounge spot!

My truck broke down so I stayed in town for a couple days, This location was next to my hotel and I found it to be very pleasant, very relaxing, friendly/helpful staff, decent Lunch food. I stopped In each day for 3 days and was satisfied with the service each time and coffee.

If you're in town I recommend you stop by this location for some coffee. I

🐾 This place is definitely a dog friendly place 🐩🐶🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐶 But don't let this scare you from stoppingby, the facility is kept very clean and the little kids are kept under control from what I sing.

An exceptionally excellent place for coffee and ice cream and conversation. I did not know waffle cones could be so delicious until
my wife and I began indulging in them at The Local. The staff is friendly and always smiling. We have generally enjoyed the outdoor comfort, but this evening we ordered via the drive thru. Our mini Aussie shepherd even got a doggie cone!

I have not been disappointed! The service is great and very friendly. Good place to have some dessert with different choices of ice cream. The coffee was tasty and you could taste real coffee flavor which some coffee places tend to lack. However, if I was to critique anything it would only be that coffee was somewhat bitter and wish there was more chocolate to my mocha. I was hesitant to put that part in due to it being the very first day The Local was opened with their drive-thru. Everyone is still learning and with trial and error, I’m sure their will be improvement.
Lastly, I would like to note that they reply quickly on their socials. They’re great at responding to your questions.

Staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. Vibe is calm and casual. Great place to meet up with friends or even work on your laptop. Outdoor seating or indoor seating with garage doors that roll up.

Breakfast sandwich and coffee is legit!

Loved this place!! Great atmosphere, great barista, great coffee.

My coffee order is always a quad shot americano with cream be size I love it, but that consistency makes it easy to compare coffee places.

The espresso itself was strong and smooth, not bitter like some roasts can be.

Update:
I've been going here for years, but the coffee hasn't been quite as good lately and I can't quite put a finger on why. Somehow the coffee tastes more watery? Maybe they switched espresso roasts? Either way, I'm less likely to go here now.

We just used the drive-thru for a coffee drink. The iced Mexican mocha was delicious! I wished that I had ordered a larger size.

Love this place! They serve our favorite ice cream from the Treasure Valley. Coffee is great even house made almond milk. The staff is always super friendly and they pastries are so good

Stopped in to grab a tuna melt. It was exactly what I was craving. Atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Coffee drink was serviceable - not bad, not good.

This is such a cute lil place and what a brilliant idea, coffee and ice cream together. I stopped by twice this last weekend while traveling through the area. I always look for small locally owned coffee places instead of the large corporations. This place did not disappoint.
The ladies working there were very friendly.
As a transgender woman, I am careful about the places I go especially in rural/conservitive areas. The Local staff were very kind and accepting. I definitely will be back.

I visited The Local again on my way through town and I wasn't disappointed. Today I got a breakfast sandwich and a mocha. Definitely recommend both.

Wow! Homemade waffle cones for gluten free folks... And, vegan (dairy free) ice cream, to boot!
Super cool hangout, inside and out.
Very yummy!

The Local serves some of the best ice cream I've had, both normal & vegan! The baked goods and food are also great. There's tons of indoor/outdoor seating, good music, and friendly service.

Very clean and bright, yet relaxed environment. Friendly, yet professional young ladies on staff. Excellent and quick service.
I had a latte earlier (coconut milk for those of us who prefer “alternatives” to dairy). It was great. Came back for lunch and got the muffuletta (how could I resist?) delicious, fresh ingredients and served with just the right amount of chips on the side.
They unfortunately were out of the curried chicken salad, but just another excuse to come back. (Like I need one. Did I mention they have ice cream??!!😉)

Fair pricing and good ice cream, they have super rich ice cream so if you can’t handle that make sure you don’t get a lot

Was pleasantly surprised to find this upscale & urban vibe coffee/sandwich/ ice cream shop on my way through La Grande. It's bright, airy, with several comfortable seating areas. Every single thing I ordered was tasty, but the breakfast pop tart really stood out. The ice cream flavors are more traditional (no crazy concoctions) which I appreciated.... really creamy & delicious.

Great spot. Had an awesome honey tumeric latte and an Americano. Both were good.

Great selection of ice cream, pastries, coffee, and other snacks! Fast service inside or through the drive through. Variety of indoor and outdoor seating for whatever the weather brings! We will make this a stop every time we visit La Grande!!
