McMinnville, Oregon — Est. 2026

Where the ride
ends and begins.

Specialty coffee at the intersection of craft and cycling culture. The place where one ride ends and the next one starts. Our blend rotates every 100 days — always local, always seasonal, always worth the climb.

The House Blend

Group Ride.

Our founding blend — built for the peloton. Approachable enough for a pre-dawn espresso, nuanced enough to sip black on the drive home. Bright, clean, built to share.

Espresso Machine
Slayer
Steam · 2-Group · Signature Teal

Hand-built in Seattle, the Slayer Steam is the benchmark for espresso quality. Variable pre-infusion pressure lets our baristas coax every nuance from each coffee. Ours is in Slayer's signature teal — one of their most iconic colorways.

Espresso Grinder
Mahlkönig
GBW 65 — Grind by Weight

The GBW 65 doses by weight, not time — delivering exact, consistent grounds for every shot. Paired with the Slayer Steam, it eliminates the single biggest variable in espresso: the dose.

Batch Brew Grinder
Mahlkönig
EK 43

The EK 43 is the gold standard for filter coffee grinding. Uniform particle size, minimal heat, exceptional clarity in the cup. Used for our batched drip program via the Curtis Gem brewer.

Drip Coffee
Curtis
Gem Brewer

The Curtis Gem is purpose-built for precision batch brewing. Consistent water temperature and saturation means every cup of drip reflects the same care as our espresso program.

Cold Program
Cold Brew
+ Nitro on Tap

Our Group Ride blend and single origin coffees are available as cold brew and nitro — slow-steeped, nitrogen-charged, and served straight from the tap. Both the blend and current single origin rotate.

Milk
Oatly
Barista Edition — Default

Oatly Barista is our default milk across every drink. It steams beautifully, complements the Group Ride blend without overpowering it, and reflects our values. Whole milk available on request.

The Space

A place to stay.
Plan the next ride.

The bar and the 150-inch cycling screen
150" Cycling Screen

Our projector throws a 150-inch screen of cycling content — race broadcasts, documentaries, and footage of riders tackling the hardest challenges they've ever faced. From grand tour stages to hundred-mile gravel epics. Always on, always worth watching.

Music, Always

Carefully curated music playing throughout the day — something that matches the energy of whatever's on screen. From calm morning focus to pre-ride hype. It sets the tone without demanding your attention.

Outlets Throughout

Outlets at every seat. Whether you're working remotely, mapping a route, reviewing Strava data, or just charging up before the next climb — we've got you covered. Stay as long as you need.

Ride Board & Community

A local ride board with weekly group starts, route recommendations, and connections to Mac Bike Rentals next door. Whether you're a daily commuter or tackling your first century, this is your basecamp.

Our Partners

Our Story

Built from years of
passion for this place.

Century Café was born from a deep love of cycling and an even deeper love of McMinnville. After years of serving the cycling community through Tommy's Bicycle Shop and Mac Bike Rentals, we knew McMinnville deserved a café that felt like the community it comes from — one that opens early, serves exceptional coffee, and celebrates the rides, the roads, and the people who make this place worth returning to. This café is our way of saying thank you.
