The Riv

The old stone church on 401 E 10th Street, The Dalles OR, has stood in its’ place for over 123 years. The Riv now builds joyful community through their commitment to providing quality food, drink, and service to all.

Around 23 years ago the building was repurposed from a church and community center into a restaurant. In 2017, Noah and Lauren Blakely purchased the restaurant and rebranded to The Riv; a lifelong dream of Noah’s. Lauren reimagined the menu which is now known throughout the United States. Noah and Lauren have since moved, but now partner as owners with Josh and Kayla Barrow.

The Riv still operates as a Breakfast and Lunch Cafe. They have become known for outstanding espresso, house made pastries, and farm to table style food.
