Simple. Convenient. Local…read more I was spending a few days in town locally. I had the opportunity to stop in a couple times. This market is the main cafe, convenience store and gas station in a small rural town with a population of just over 150 residents. Service was friendly and prompt. Coffee was hot. I stopped in one morning to have breakfast. I ordered their Denver Omelet which is a three egg omelet filled with diced tomatoes, green peppers, onion and chunks of ham for $11.70. I added cheese for an additional 60 cents. It comes with hash browns and your choice of toast. Quite a hearty breakfast and very reasonably priced! I enjoyed the omelet so much that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. There were 4 or 5 different folks working in the cafe / store when I was there. They seemed to share different roles from waiting, cashier, pumping gas and minding the store. The store itself carries a variety of essentials, frozen meats & seafoods, beverages and snack items, typical for many other convenience stores. Should I visit the area again in the future, I would definitely stop in for breakfast.

We were there recently and stayed next door at the Riverbend Motel. The cafe is part of the market…read moreand as another person noted there is generally one person (The owner) doing everything. She does take a couple days off so there are others that work as well when it is busy, and when she can find the help. The food is good and she gladly made me a custom sandwich one morning. I know she is interested in retiring so that could happen and they could close. I will post pictures of inside and outside soon.

Maybe it's the boredom of running a business in Shaniko, Oregon? Maybe tired of the crap that some…read moretourists can deliver? (Oh, I'm sure it's a LOT!) Whatever it is - this is NOT a "friendly place". Think of the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" sort of experience. There's a gruff old dude who runs the place, and he is NOT friendly. Doesn't say anything at all - even if you say "Hi" - he will just keep staring into space, listening to his talk radio in the background. The place is filled with cigarette smoke - not sure why other than the proprietor smokes. BUT .... if you can deal with all of that? It's a very decent little shop to stop and get stuff you need - snacks, water, POPCORN (from his popping machine), tacky souvenirs, beer, box wine, whatever..... 5 stars for "glad this place is here" and to help offset the otherwise crappy reviews. Considering you're in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, and you can get all this stuff in one quick stop off of Highway 97, what's not to like? Just be aware of what it's going to be like, don't expect more, and get on your way :-) 5 Yelp Stars "for what it is"

The old schoolhouse and the federally-funded interpretive center across from the County Courthouse were particularly interesting. And of course the kids had a good time digging for fossils back behind the high school. I don't normally leave reviews of gas stations. But I wanted to recommend that you fill your gas tank here during your visit for 3 reasons: 1 - The service was great. The kid who worked there was friendly, and the fuel pump is the old style with the gauges that roll upwards. It's been quite a while since I've seen those, and this may be one of the last working pumps of that style I've seen around. 2 - The price was fair, especially for being a monopoly in a small town with no other options around. 3 - When you see the charge on your credit card statement, it will read "Fossil Fuel". Seriously. :)

If you do a search on Google Maps for nearby gas stations, the search results aren't Shell, 76, Mobil or Chevron. This one came up as search return hit number 2. I thought the name was odd for a gas station but better to not be stuck in the middle of nowhere which had already happened to me earlier this week. (Thanks, Oregon potholes!) Just driving through Maupin is a trip. Like so many other small towns I've seen so far in the state of OR, they're like time capsules unto themselves. Isolated and existing much as they have over the years without succumbing to big box corporate mundanity. If you drive too fast, you might miss this tiny service station. I loved looking at their two pumps enough to take a pic along with the sticker art nearby. :) The guy who pumped the gas was super nice and mellow. $39 for a regular fill-up for my rental Corolla.

This place used to be open as a gas station many (MANY) years ago. For anyone on a motorcycle,…read morethis was a valued business since the gas stations in Moro, Grass Valley and so on all closed over the years. Nearest gasoline now is Biggs Jct, Madras and Maupin (regular gas only). So it was a welcome sight when I came by for my bi-annual photo visit to Shaniko and saw that new owners had opened it back up. There has been a vintage Texaco station in Shaniko forever but I don't know that it was ever operational. If it was, it was way before my time. A fellow from Vancouver (USA) owns it as well as the Studebaker shop and garage next door. Nice folks. I was there for the open house a few years ago and they had food and snacks for free. Since then all I've seen is a single, usually young employee there. Regular gasoline and diesel only. There are a small number of year-round residents here but many are snowbirds. A few of the vendors live in nearby larger cities. Due to the gas prices hard to say if this biz makes sufficient profit to stay in business but I hope they do. The hotel is being refurbished with the plan of opening December, 2022 so that could help sales some. Shaniko used to be a busy tourist stop 30-odd years ago but interest died off after the hotel closed due to a dispute about water. Of course there are those die-hards like us who come by every Spring and Fall to visit with a few of the locals we have come to very much like.
