January Newsletter: Goodbye 2025
2025, what a year you have been.
For some, this sentence is a breath of fresh air or a sigh of relief, as we close one chapter of time, and enter into another season of life. Throughout this year, we have been constantly reminded, time and time again, of one word: community. As Grants Pass natives, we understand how deeply ingrained our community is to social gatherings and event spaces. Inspired by the small-town culture we've learned to call home, we aren't afraid to welcome our neighbors into our worlds. We're continuously inspired by the embracing and celebratory attitude that surrounds our city with our local events, craft fairs, and holiday gatherings that bring us all together. From saying hi to strangers that we pass by, to opening our cafe spaces for community wide events, we want to embrace the city with open-arms as they have done for us.
To start out our 2026 Newsletter, we wanted to shout out the people, events, and specialty drinks that made this previous year unforgettable:
Rogue Roasters wouldn't be what it is today without the incredible partners that help us through our every day. We wanted to take this time to send an appreciation to the businesses, artists, and community members that have supported us along the journey:
Noah's Bees
Aaria's Burrito
Southern Oregon Linen
Lonely Pine
Breaking Chains Bakery
Alexander Breads
The Quality Kays
Terra Sol
Paul Brown
Ray Pague
We had the privilege to host in-house events, gathering familiar and unfamiliar faces alike, to join us for an evening of lighthearted fun. Events like our Trivia Night earlier in the year, and our Mocktail Night that happened recently, we were excited to see our cafe full of life and energy after hours. Our friends at The Growler Guys allowed us to participate in some of their events hosted at their space including the Halloween Trunk or Treat, and Breakfast with Santa.
Looking back at the year, we wanted to highlight some of our popular seasonal drinks that quickly became favorites around the shop. We had plenty of crowd pleasers including the Blended Campfire Mocha, the Maple Spice Cinnamon Latte, and our current winter menu special, the Peppermint Bark Mocha. We're always encouraged to see the supportive response our community has towards our new creations, and we want to thank everyone for leaving their comfort drinks to try something new.
Outside of Rogue Roasters, the world seemed to evolve rapidly around us. We got to experience innovations in AI technology, and an increase on coffee pricing due to unforeseen tariffs. The world continued to expand around us, so we have chosen to do the same. As more time passes, more announcements will be made. From new drinks, to new videos, to new adventures...we are excited for what the future has in store.
2026, what a year you will be.
