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,

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.

Meet Molly Mahoney
(Aubrey Dollar) who is flying

on the shoulder of childhood
friend Josh Shiffman (Shane
McRae), who is flying home

es out in Josh’s arms just as
he gets a phone call from his
