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.

Vegan burger "Vegan Break"

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.

Events! Owner Mike Copland is a friend to live music.

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.

Beer in the rare February sun.

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!

Mmmmm best cappuccino

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!

My word, this place is great! I'm there probably every day, and twice for Wednesday Night Trivia contests.

Awesome location, Ninkasi brewing is within walking distance of two other breweries in the area…read morewhich is always a plus for me when I'm visiting a new town. Great outdoor seating and indoor bar area. The beer is solid considering they have a smaller menu of their own beer, but they make up for it with a guest list and a limited amount of their own beers, plus for the none beer drinking that might be in your group they have Wine & Hard Lemonade. They don't have food here but there were some nearby food trucks/stands on this block. The cherry on top here was the service. We came here after running the Eugene Mararhon & the server let us know they have drink specials for the race participants and gave us a breakdown of their beer menu to help with our selection.

A staple in the craft beer world, visiting the Ninkasi Brewing taproom was a highlight of the trip…read more Their signature blue/green color is on all their buildings in the neighborhood, which are plentiful. There are brewery facilities and storage facilities all over, the streets are all free parking. The taproom is located off to the side of the main buildings and is worth a visit. On arrival, it was a cold and wet day so we opted to sit inside. They have a much larger area for outdoor seating in the warmer months. There's a selection of merchandise and to-go beer. There was only one bartender, but she was super nice and friendly despite a constant stream of customers. It seemed like most of the people were lifelong fans and regular customers. We all had flights, plus a few extra selections. I also learned Ninkasi now owns Ecliptic Brewing so a bunch of their beers are no made here and were also on tap. They had mostly their flagship IPAs but also an amazing selection of small batch beers which were less prevalent styles. Prices are reasonable. If you're a beer fan, this one is a must-stop!

This place rips, cold blended cocktails and frose. Make your own seltzers, great cocktail and beer…read moreselection. If you can't have fun here you probably suck.

We visited Eugene and discovered Crow & Cart in the Whiteaker neighborhood. It's a cozy,…read morehandcrafted bar with vibes and an electric cocktail menu. At night, from a distance, it was a shocker to see that this place was open and here. DRINKS: 7/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 What we ordered: Lemon & Ginger Mule Key Lime Rum Cocktail DRINKS: 7/10 The Lemon & Ginger Mule was fascinating and part of their Shrub specialty menu, which is a sweet-and-tart drinking vinegar made from fruit, sugar, and vinegar, created to preserve fruit. Definitely an acquired taste, but I loved the creativity behind it. The Key Lime Rum Cocktail was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, with a tropical twist that was smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet. SERVICE: 10/10 The bartender serving us was friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated how they explained some of the more unique cocktails and helped me pick something adventurous. She was a vibe for sure and seemed to be vibing with the other customers as well. AMBIANCE: 10/10 Crow & Cart nails that "handcrafted neighborhood bar" feel. The space is full of character with warm wood tones, plants, and personal touches everywhere. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. There is also outdoor seating. If you're in Eugene and want something beyond your average cocktail bar, you should give this place a try.
