Archive Coffee & Bar

What Archive Coffee & Bar does

Archive Coffee & Bar operates a single specialty coffee shop and craft cocktail bar in Salem, Oregon, combining in-house small-batch coffee roasting with a Golden Age-inspired cocktail program and a from-scratch kitchen. The venue, located at 102 Liberty Street NE, Suite 120, serves all dayparts (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with extended hours of 7am-10pm Sunday-Thursday and 7am-Midnight Friday-Saturday. Limited bar service operates from 7am-4pm before transitioning to full bar service from 4pm until close, making the venue accessible to minors throughout the day and serving an adult bar crowd in the evening. The underlying production capabilities are in-house: small-batch coffee roasting emphasizing sweetness and brightness, a scratch kitchen producing house-made items such as chorizo, hummus, chai, and various syrups, and a cocktail program built on a library of artisan spirits drawing from the Golden Age of cocktails.

The business operates five distinct revenue streams. On-premises food and beverage sales are the primary stream, with menu prices ranging from $3.50 for pastries to $28 for dinner entrees, and cocktails priced $9-$20. Direct-to-consumer retail coffee bean sales ($14-$17 per 250g bag, plus 5lb options) are operated through the company's e-commerce storefront with nationwide shipping. Recurring revenue is generated through coffee subscriptions available on weekly, biweekly, and monthly cadences at a 10% discount. Gift cards ($5, $10, $25, $50) provide another retail touchpoint. Finally, a wholesale coffee program via archivecoffeeroasters.com targets business buyers. Online takeout ordering is facilitated through a third-party Talech integration.

The target market is segmented into a primary local community in the Salem, Oregon metropolitan area seeking specialty coffee, craft cocktails, and full-service dining, and a secondary persona segment of coffee enthusiasts reached through online bean sales and subscription delivery. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership structure, parent entity, or institutional investors. The only identified leadership is founder Jesse Hayes. The company shows no signs of multi-unit expansion, external capital raises, or major M&A activity in the available data.
