Archway Market

BOUTIQUE CONVENIENCE SHOPPING

n the south side of the archway at Nye Beach, a corner store offers the best of the Pacific Northwest in food, drink and gift items. When co-owner Stephanie Curtis took over the Archway Market last October, it sold your typical gas station store fare. In the past year, she’s transformed the market into boutique convenience shopping featuring fine goods from local and regional producers.

Just through the entrance to the Nye Beach wayside, shoppers can find everything from premium meats to fine wines to souvenirs and apparel. “With my background in environmental science and my travels around the world, I’ve grown to favor woman-owned companies, especially those that help women taking care of their families at home,” Curtis said. “Little by little, I’ve added jewelry and gifts, goods from Portland that they ship directly to me, candles made in Bend, art kits and recycled notebooks made in Portland.” She carries at least 40 products sourced from the Pacific Northwest and many from Newport and the surrounding area.

Archway sells Cape Foulweather Coffee, roasted in Lincoln City, and homemade fudge from Cliffside Coffee and Sweets in Otter Rock. It’s the only brick-andmortar venue selling canned and frozen fish from the F/V Chelsea Rose outside of the historic fishing vessel’s location on the Bayfront, and it’s the only local seller of grass-fed beef and pork from Moonshine Cattle Co., of Lodgsen, always a popular offering. “I sell out of my bacon within two days, and I regularly take special orders for beef,” Curtis said.

Pair that choice cut with the perfect wine — Curtis is always adding new options, having quadrupled the store’s wine selection since taking over last fall — or choose from a wide variety of craft beers, including suds from four local

Archway is also great spot to pick up gear on your way to the sand, with beach toys, souvenirs and signature Oregon coast clothing and gifts. They’re the brick-and-mortar location for Newport’s own Fox and Crown Apparel Co., designers of coastal themed T-shirts, sweatshirts and more.

The market is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the weekend. For a corkage free, you can take your newly purchased wine through an adjoining door to enjoy in the neighboring Ultralife Cafe, co-owned by Curtis with her husband, Matthew Harner.

Ultralife features its own house wines and an extensive menu of classic and signature cocktails — there are dozens to choose from — as well as bottled and draft beer, locally roasted coffee and tea, and healthy natural energy drinks, protein shakes and fruit smoothies. The bill of fare offers something for every taste and palate — dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, keto and paleo. Harner said they try to keep at least one item in those categories on every section of their menu, and the staff will be happy to alter other items to fit the needs of the customer. JOVI
