"After growing up in nearby Medford, Jamie North didn’t think she’d come back to this part of the world. But the third-generation restaurant owner improved Ashland’s coffee scene exponentially when she established Mix, a coffee shop and bakery, in 2006. Serving Stumptown coffee and an array of golden croissants (plus many-flavored macarons, fluffy morning buns, and more), Mix is a downtown staple for a pre-river rafting cappuccino or a post-theatre ice cream cone. In May, North opened Remix, a new location uptown highlighting a more savory menu—pressed sandwiches, hummus—from head baker Lily Hudson. With a creamery eventually set to open next door, North’s brand of fresh, feel-good food will soon be stocked across town." - Ella Riley-Adams
