Saturday Market was the first time I ran into this bakery. I was most pleasantly discover they were…read moreactually a café, too. Service by Emma was attentive and friendly, with sage advice about options. Ordered the same honey challah bread from the weekend, but sliced and toasted with butter. $10/loaf Amazing butter. Decided to add salt and cracked pepper and then I discovered they had an awesome hot sauce. Added a few drops of that, too, and it is very good toast. Decided to pick up some additional mini challah loaves $6 to freeze and take back for family's Christmas. Also ordered the maple syrup winter squash cinnamon roll $8. It was heated and delicious. Could not leave without trying the chocolate chip cookies just $2. I was persuaded by MR two are better than one and now I have one for the road. For a drink decided to try one of the J-Teas they serve. Just guess which one.

Swung by for my second time in 4 months while in Eugene for a quick visit to see my UO duckling…read more Ordered lox toast (so goooood!) and a Miel Maid (think graham crackers, cinnamon and espresso). It was insanely delicious and worthy of another trip soon! "Duckling" ordered a Mediterranean toast which was also excellent. Seating is plentiful if you arrive early enough. Parking is plentiful; lot parking in back of establishment or on the street.

This partially sucks to say, because I think Meraki is the best coffee shop in Eugene, but I don't…read morefit in with the crowd. Come here to write (or tbh study - hence not fitting in), for hours. Drink multiple coffees or teas, eat some solid food, realize Meraki is better than on campus - but hate on it so you can keep it to yourself. The problem? Eugene is tiny, and everyone has known about it for a while. Just find a table early to study! And make sure to show your love in purchases.

Perfectly toasted sourdough bread with the scrambled eggs done just right. All around just perfect! ...both of us gave it thumbs up. As for the cake- decadent as expected. Also the young lady who took our order was absolutely great! She even found candles (since I forgot to bring any). I forgot her name but a big thank you to her.)

Trip coffee can be amazing, disastrous and everything in between. Coffee has a daily limit, so if…read moreyou pick the wrong place, your coffee adventure for that day could be a waste. It's not like going to a bad bar or even restaurant where you still can eat a few hours later. Coffee has a small window and a maximum amount of intake. That being said, this morning we chose wisely. Not only did we use Yelp but we backed up our decision with a google search and that took us to Reddit. Equiano was a top suggestion on both sites. And we understand why. The service was 100% top notch. Helpful. Friendly and knowledgeable, not only about what they offered but about the regions best shops! The coffee itself was very expressive. The Camaroon was totally my style with an earthier tone and the Chai was delightful. The outdoor seating was so very comfortable with a unique sort of panache that I would love to have at my neighborhood coffeeshop. The raked gravel was a nice touch. And even though they didn't have indoor seating with the drizzly day, it was a highlight that I will be repeating in our future travels.

I stopped in here this morning after getting blood drawn next door. I had been fasting so I was…read morehungry and I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. It is so cute and lovely! It was super busy when I visited around 9:45am on a Monday, so you know they're good. I was greeted immediately and placed my order quickly. The girl working the register was super helpful and friendly. I wanted to try the seasonal banana bread cold brew, but I can't have caffeinated drinks so I asked if it could be made decaf. She said she can do it as a decaf latte instead and I agreed. It is SO good! It's sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. You can taste banana and cinnamon, perfectly balanced. I was worried the banana flavor would be fake tasting but it's not, it tastes like real bananas. I also got the Sasquatch sushi because I had to know what it was and it was amazing. It's a pbj with banana, in sushi form! It's such a cool idea and tasted fantastic. My partner was also super entertained by it and he loved it too. I got the Sunbreak breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Everything I had here today was fantastic! I love this little cafe and will absolutely be back. I already recommended them to two of my friends as well. Go here, you won't regret it!

I'm going to try the matcha next, but the ube with espresso was excellent. Friendly, fairly quick service, cute Eugene vibe shop. If I wanted to hang out at a coffee shop, this would be the place, I love ube, and it's not a common flavor. They do it, and they do an exceptional job with it. Definitely looking forward to trying other drinks in the future. Check them out if you're near the 5th st public market.

On those occasions when I am fortunate enough to be in the EUG, then Vero is a must. Full stop…read more It's not just the coffee, it's not just the vibe, it's not just the fab location...it's the whole package. Vero has taken that corner lot, in what is probably a turn-of-the-century house, and has created a phenomenal kaffehaus. It is built to enjoy some of the beautiful Oregon weather, and even withstand some of the rainy Eugene weather. The inside is generally sprinkled with students, seeking quiet moments of academic focus or other pursuits, and the outside is conversational and comfortable. Oh, and the coffee. I'm always one to try the house brew, and Vero is always ready with a freshly brewed cup. Their latte skills are pretty solid, and their espresso is strong and finishes nicely. I find the real hook to be that their coffee is far better than corporate Seattle, and costs significantly less. Sure, you pay a pretty hefty price for some of their breakfast or lunch fare (think $15/sammich), but their coffee is way competitive and their service is outstanding. I'm there for the coffee in the atmosphere; anything else is a pure bonus, and that includes the outstanding patio. Parking is on the street, because you're close to downtown, so you're on your own. But pretty much half of the patrons are either walking or riding a bike, so it's easy to handle. Pricing for the drinks is very fair, if not advantageous, and the value far outstrips what you pay, anyway. To me, Vero is as good as it gets for Eugene coffee, and there is no shortage of competition. Get out and enjoy!
