Corner of 5th & Alder

Coffee that slows you down, on purpose.

A small-batch roaster and neighborhood counter. We pull one espresso at a time, and we're in no hurry to change that.

Run by two people who couldn't find a good cup nearby.

Waypoint opened in 2019 out of a shared frustration: great coffee shouldn't require a fifteen-minute drive. We roast in small batches, change the menu with the seasons, and know most of our regulars by their order before they say a word.
