The atmosphere here is really fun and it'd be great to come back in the evening. I love the random books and games around on tables. I ended up staying all afternoon, having lunch and then 2 ciders... really settled in for the day ;) An employee there, Collin, was extremely friendly and fun to talk to, and helpful to share info about things nearby in Independence as I was just visiting for the day. Would recommend for coffee, working remote, lunch or drinks with friends. Great place to call your own and become a regular.

Overall, a 4/5 stars!…read more It was a perfect option for our small group of 3. They are a home turned business so, the space is limited but perfect for this small town! The food is made fresh every meal and the taste shows it! It feels very homemade with a hint of business, if that makes sense? The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!

My partner and I stumbled upon Ovenbird Bakery when driving through Independence, Oregon this…read moresummer. The charming bakery is located on the main strip downtown, and is loaded with character! There was a couple playing chess on one of the bistro tables out front, and two elderly gentlemen having a lively conversation about local politics. This is just my scene! We ordered a marionberry danish and a sugar cookie, both of which were fresh, delicious and well-priced. The staff were super friendly and offered us a sample of freshly-baked dog treats for our pug Penelope, who we had in tow. Ask the bakers about their recent visit from Abraham Lincoln, it will make for a fun story and laugh. I hope you decide to visit this gem of a bakery, and tell your friends about it too!

This is my go-to when I need lunch for a staff meeting, baked goods for a special event, and/or just a yummy snack.

(you're welcome) Scones (All flavors, but my favorites are the hazelnut chocolate chip & the maple & the lemon flavors) Hubby loves all the danishes (esp. the berry ones) This place is a little gem in town that shouldn't be missed.

A great option for breakfast and dinner. I've been here for…read morebreakfast before, and it was quite good. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon, and decided to sit outside. THe seating area was great, with a roof providing shade but still allowing for fresh air. Service was very friendly and very attentive. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar burger and my companion went with the Cowboy Philly Sandwich, both with fries. The Bacon Cheddar burger was great. A thick beef patty was paired with bacon and cheddar. The sauce was a nice, creamy 1000 island. It was rich and messy. The fries were good too. The brioche bun was soft and rich; it held up nicely. The Cowboy Philly Sandwich was an interesting combination of beef brisket, pepper jack cheese, grilled onions and red peppers. The sauce was a chipotle mayonnaise. There was slaw on the side. I just had a bite, but it all tasted good and went together well. This is a solid place for a good breakfast or lunch/dinner with great service.

Sadly we never made it to the original location (we live in Salem) but the new restaurant & bar is absolutely fantastic and a place worth driving for. We finally decided to come by and do trivia with Aaron (Oregon Trivia Company) and were so glad we did--Aaron has been one of our favorite hosts around Salem for many years now and when he said he was starting to do shows at Divine Distillers on Thursday nights (ya'll need to come have fun with us! :) we knew we'd be there. As usual, it didn't disappoint--just the right amount of challenging/fun questions, great hosting & an enjoyable way to break up the work week! The space is quite large with plenty of seating for groups and they're working on putting in a beer garden with fire pits--looks like it'll be a super fun place to meet up with friends & hang out this summer. It's usually pretty chill there on a weeknight so it's easy to relax and take your time. The drink menu is very creative & fun with everything from beer to cocktails to ciders, all featuring pours made right in-house by the talented staff. Check out one of their flights to get a taste of multiple sips & pick your new favorite! Also, the food here BLOWS US AWAY. Seriously some of the best food we've had in a very long time. I personally can't stop dreaming about the Tri-Tip (cooked to tender, juicy perfection & topped with chimichurri), the Elotes with Pulled Pork (rich, smoky & creamy), the House Burger (simple yet spectacular) or the Shrimp Fajitas (a delicious pile of tasty fixings that made me very happy). We were told the chef is a BBQ master and it shows--can't wait to try everything else on the menu soon! Other Bonuses: Ample, easy parking in a private lot, super friendly & approachable staff and clean & comfortable restaurant with lots of space & more expansions/improvements in the works! Plus, you can buy bottles of their spirits to go. If you were a fan of Divine Distillers before or have just been driving by wondering about this place, do yourself a favor & check it out. I know we'll be going back soon!

The restaurant itself is tucked away by the Independence Airport with a casual dining environment and views of the runway. We were a group of 7 and were attended to really well. About 4 of us ordered pancakes and we would've been fine if 2 of us only had. The only thing that was a bummer was 2 or 3 of the pancakes were super hard in the middle so we weren't sure if they'd been frozen and rewarmed or just had a pancake batch that wasn't fully mixed. The cinnamon roll is also too much for one person to eat alone so be mindful of that. It wasn't very appealing from the look of it but we wanted to try it. Probably wouldn't order it again but if you're sharing amongst people give it try. The omelet was a fan favorite at the table so we'd definitely recommend that!
