Hermiston's coffee scene revolves around a tight-knit collection of independent shops that serve both the agricultural community and college students from Blue Mountain Community College. The local roasters here understand their audience, crafting blends that satisfy early-rising farm workers alongside students cramming for exams, creating an unexpectedly diverse coffee culture for a city of its size. These neighborhood spots function as genuine community hubs where conversations flow between farmers discussing crop yields and college kids planning weekend adventures.
