A3 Freshies Bagels and Juice opens on Oak By TRISHA WALKER News staff writer Matthew Joyce opened Freshies Bagels and Juice on Nov. 1, 2014 — without any previous knowledge of baking — and business is booming. Located in the for- mer Hood River Bagel Co. store, earnings are up 25 percent over the last eight months than in all 12 months of the previous year. As a sign outside the store recently touted, “Gluten Rules.” Joyce is a familiar face in downtown, having run the Juice Bros. food cart for a couple of seasons. He pur- chased Hood River Bagel Co. last year to move his business indoors. He doesn’t miss the food cart — his new digs are much more spacious — but he does plan to bring it back this summer (and sell tacos), parked in the courtyard in front of Freshies. It’s a space that’s underutilized, Joyce said, and he intends to get rid of the picnic tables and replace them with café ta- bles and umbrellas. New out- door lighting will illuminate the space, and a bamboo fence will create a cozy en- closure for patrons. But that’s what he calls Phase 2. Right now, he’s in Phase 1 — moving into the shop, lear ning to make bagels and manage a staff of seven employees, redoing the menu and tackling inte- rior projects. And yes, there is a Phase 3: obtaining a liquor li- cense. For now, however, he’s taking baby steps. “I believe in doing a few things well than a lot poorly,” he said. He didn’t know how to make bagels before pur- chasing the shop — but then, he didn’t know any- thing about juice before opening Juice Bros., either — and, after signing the pa- pers, immediately flew back to an east coast bagel shop for a crash course. On the east coast, “if it has a hole, it’s not a bagel, it’s a doughnut,” Joyce said. His bagels are in that tradi- tion: Chewy, yet fluffy, with a golden sheen. Joyce brought in all new recipes when he took own- ership. He’s currently sell- ing seven varieties, with plans to add more in the coming months: plain, salt- ed, sesame, cinnamon- raisin, asiago cheese, onion and everything. He’s also tweaked the cream cheese recipes, which are mixed onsite and include veg- etable, strawberry, jalapeno, and garlic and herb. Joyce makes bagels fresh each morning beginning at 4:30 a.m., opening his doors for business at 6:30. His breakfast sandwiches are popular items, and he also serves sandwiches at lunchtime, with plans to eventually offer soups and salads. He roasts the turkey for his sandwiches onsite, Photo by Trisha Walker BAGEL guy Matthew Joyce holds a fresh tray at Freshies, First and Oak streets. and thinks his 8-foot by 8- foot oven is underutilized; he’d like to do more baking. “I take quite a bit of pride in creating something deli- cious,” he said. The bagel side compli- ments the juice and smooth- ie side of the shop — people will pop in for a bagel, and end up purchasing a juice or smoothie as well when they see the menu. Popular juices include the Red Eye (beet, carrot, lemon and gin- ger) and the Cold Buster (apple, lemon and ginger, steamed). He also serves coffee and espresso drinks, with beans from local Stoked Roasters. He tries to incorporate local and organic produce into all of his products. The grain he uses comes from cooperative growers in Ore- gon and Washington, and in the winter months, local ap- ples play a big part in his juices. One special note: A bag (one do z en) of day-old bagels sells for $5. F reshies Ba g els and Juice is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is located at 13 Oak Street; 541-386- 2123. ‘One Small Hitch’ screens Jan. 28 T he romantic comedy “One Small Hitch,” directed by John Burgess, comes to Columbia Cetner for the Arts, 7 p.m. on Jan. 28.

Emo- tionally drained, Molly pass- es out in Josh’s arms just as he gets a phone call from his parents. Josh learns that his father is dying and his only regret is that he will not get to meet the woman who will one day become his son’s wife.
