    I stopped in at this cafe after an eye appointment next door. It's very cute and cozy and wasn't too loud even though most of the tables were full. It was also nice and warm, which was very welcome since it was in the 30s outside. The cashier took my order quickly and was very nice. I got a hazelnut hot chocolate and the original egg sandwich, both to go. The hot chocolate was good and had great chocolate flavor - it didn't taste like it was from a powder. The egg sandwich was so good. It was exactly what I wanted - egg, cheddar, toasted bun, and a delicious garlic butter spread. The garlic butter was absolutely delicious and I wish I could take a bottle of it home with me. The employees all seemed to get along great and were joking around with each other and chatting happily while working. They all seemed very happy while working, which was refreshing to see in food service when so many employees are treated so poorly. I will definitely come back here in the future to try more menu items and to spend some time sitting to eat my food when I have more time. I'll be thinking about that garlic butter for a while too.

    This is a cute little locally owned coffee shop-style cafe that offers sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches, breakfast items all day, and vegetarian and vegan options. They also have an impressive short list of regional craft beers, a few wines, and a nice list of loose leaf hot teas. The staff has been friendly and efficient both times we dropped in to meet friends there this week. We enjoyed several different hot teas, a nice pint of ale, and two of their vegan option meals: the Vegan Break burger with a locally made vegan patty, and the Ranchero Crepe, which comes with a variety of choices for a side. Seating is available along the back wall inside or on tables on the open patio when it's nice outside. Parking is easy to snag in the attached lot. I hear that they sometimes host live music, and they were playing pleasant background music during both of our visits. A pleasant atmosphere overall.

    It would be nice if reviewers who weren't happy with the service EIGHT YEARS ago would come by and clean up their messes. 16 Tons continues to provide multiple bennies to us locals: good grub, good coffee and beer, relaxed service esp when there are crepes involved, and THE BEST smaller scale OUTDOOR CONCERT setting in Eugene. The staff are friendly, attentive & working hard. Get on down and refresh your freakin' browsers, y'all. 16 Tons gets it done.

    Time for an updated review to say that this place is still one of my favorite cafés in Eugene. Lots of seating, both inside and outside. The music is good and not too loud, you can easily have a conversation with someone or work on a laptop with an appropriate amount of background noise, so it's a good place to catch up with a friend, work on a laptop, or read a book. The menu is robust and they offer tasty lattes made with Wandering Goat coffee, a great selection of beer and cider and wine on-tap, and great food options: everything from sweet pastries to savory breakfast sandwiches to lunch/dinner options and small bites, too. I generally find the staff to be friendly and mellow. On my most recent visit, I got a 12 oz pour of a favorite beer and my friend and I split an order of nachos and cowboy caviar with chips. I like that this place has a little bit of everything and is great any time of the day!

    Great place for casual food. The savory crepes are awesome. I'd never had a savory crepe before visiting 16 Tons, thought they were only for dessert. The coffee is amazeballs and I didn't even need sugar in it, which is rare for me. Patio is nice for hanging outdoors and the staff is friendly. In the evenings there's often live music and you can grab a unique beer on tap too. Something for everyone. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful artwork and great coffee. A perfect combination!

    See all

    Food was just okay. Serving size was skimpy. Coffee was good. Waitress accommodated us by carrying food outside.

    Super nice alif on the south side of Eugene. Live music on the patio during the summer and solid beer selection.

    Great stuff on tap and all the workers are in a great mood. Would definitely roll through just for that alone these days.
