White River Coffee Company in Rockaway Beach held an open house on Saturday, July 13, celebrating the expansion of their dining and event space with a new addition to the building. The new area will allow plenty of comfortable seating as well as opening onto the existing deck, creating even more possibilities for hosting private parties or groups as well as live music and other community events.
Saturday’s festivities included live music through the day, drink and food specials, and giveaways, wrapping up with line dancing led by DJ Kevin Montgomery in the evening.
White River Coffee was founded by Dean and Sonja O’Bryan as a ministry through Rural Compassion, part of Convoy of Hope. Located near Bridge of Faith Church, the coffee shop serves as a gathering place for volunteer teams coming to serve the community through revitalization projects coordinated by the church. White River Coffee also focuses on hiring local young people, providing an opportunity to learn valuable job skills while earning money.
White River Coffee is located at 200 Lake St., just a few blocks off St. Hwy. 176 as it passes through Rockaway Beach and just a short scenic detour from U.S. Hwy. 160. Plan to stop by next time you’re headed to Forsyth or points east, and enjoy some delicious sandwiches, specialty drinks and pastries while you check out the many great projects going on in Rockaway Beach.
Hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily except Sundays. Follow the Facebook page, White River Coffee Co, to stay updated on live music nights and other special events.
