Two coffees in a covered seating area. - A small round black metal outdoor table with three cups placed on its surface, situated on a gravel ground. Two chairs are positioned around the table, one on each side. The background includes a wooden fence, a wooden bench with potted plants, and garden hoses, indicating a backyard or patio setting.

Came here on a rainy morning and was a little concerned when I saw they only have outdoor seating (at least for now). However, they had three or four tables in a covered area, so I was able to stay dry when drinking my espresso and my cappuccino. The espresso was excellent: fruity with some caramel notes and, as it cooled, I got some strawberry with milk chocolate flavors. The cappuccino was also quite tasty. Their espresso (which I'm guessing is roasted on the lighter side) was still able to shine through with some of those fruit notes, but the sweet caramel flavor was amplified. Staff was very friendly. I got the feeling this was a newer place--I hope they thrive.

A single origin Brazil espresso shot at Equiano Coffee tasting room. Delicious!

I love this little cafe. They roast some of the best tasting coffees I've ever had. I especially like thier Brazil, and thier Bon Mua Vietnamese coffees. I really like that they get to know their coffee farmers and buy thier beans directly from the farms & farm co-ops. If you get to visit Equiano Coffee's tasting room, you're in for a treat. Besides dairy, they offer their own Cashew milk made in-house, and thier house-made chocolate ganache makes wonderful mochas and hot cocoas. You can learn alot about single varietal & single origin coffees from the owners, they're very knowledgable. If you don't fall in love with this beautiful little cafe, you'll fall in love with the coffee. Highly recommended!

Outdoor seating with roof covering. SO CUTE - An outdoor seating space features a wooden pergola with string lights hanging from the beams. The ground is covered with gravel, and there are several potted plants, including flowering and leafy varieties. Some white chairs and small tables are arranged around the area, with a few people visible in the background sitting at tables. The setting has a rustic, garden-like atmosphere.

One of the CUTEST coffee shops I've been to. The seating is outdoors but has a roof covering. There is a tree with outdoor lights with a garden vibe. Menu has the basics. The milk alternative is Cashew milk. My first time ordering at a cafe. It is better than almond milk but I still prefer oat milk.

a patio with tables and chairs - The image shows a backyard patio with a large tree that has pink flowers and green foliage, providing shade. There are several tables and chairs arranged for seating, with some people sitting and talking. String lights are hung from the tree branches, creating a cozy atmosphere. The patio is enclosed by a wooden fence, and there is a potted plant in the foreground. The setting appears to be a casual outdoor space, possibly part of a café or private garden.

equiano is one of my favorite places in eugene and one that i always bring visiting friends & family too. only open on friday- sunday, you need to be intentional with the time you spend at equinao, making it a treat. their lovely courtyard is covered by a mimosa tree that provides shade and beautiful flowers--it-s easy to feel like you're tucked back in a secret garden of sorts. the owners and staff are all incredible people. oh! and they have gluten free pastry options.

Espresso and soda water

My new favorite spot for a shot of espresso. Beautiful outdoor seating and they serve their espresso with a shot of soda water!

Glass House Coffee Bar - Where the Beans Are Brewed and the Dads Are Punny…read more If you're in Eugene and looking for a place that's brew-tiful inside and out, pedal your way to Glass House Coffee Bar -- just a short ride from the river trail, and trust me, it's worth the cycle. ‍ First off, the architecture is so cool, it might just give your iced latte a complex. With sleek glass walls and plant life that could make a greenhouse jealous, this place is serving up serious fern-tastic vibes. I walked in and immediately thought, "Wow, this place is un-be-leaf-able." Now let's talk coffee. I ordered a cappuccino so smooth, it should've come with a tuxedo. My friend got a pour-over and said it was grounds-breaking. And don't even get me started on the pastries -- flaky enough to ghost you after one date, but so good you forgive them instantly. The baristas? Friendly, fast, and full of beans (literally and figuratively). One even told me my dad jokes were espresso-nally bad, which I took as a compliment. Whether you're a caffeine connoisseur or just need a place to espresso yourself, Glass House is the kind of spot that makes you want to linger, laugh, and maybe adopt a succulent or two. Bottom line: great coffee, great vibes, and enough plant life to make your mom say, "You should really get one of these for your apartment." I'm already planning my next visit -- it's brew-destined.

Small interior, but large on ambiance…read more The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable on their menu and the flavors. There are a few barstools inside and a few tables outside as well. The parking lot has a few spots and street parking. The inside is very cute with plants and random art all over. I enjoyed the vanilla cardamom latte was perfection and the bagel was fresh and had a good hardy flavor. Nice place to chill or work.

Food portions are huge and so is the building surprisingly, so there's a pretty good amount of seating too (especially compared to other cafes in the area). The parking lot is a little narrow to navigate but I'm mostly grateful that they even have a lot. I think their tempeh is very delicious and flavorful, kind of a sweet maple-y vibe, and again, can't emphasize how big the size of everything was compared to my usual expectations. Their menu is pretty vegetarian friendly and they have pastries, breakfast options, smoothies etc. Price is on the higher side but I do think you get what you pay for. Also tried their seasonal lavender pistachio latte and the regular chai, both drinks were really nice. They don't have a huge variety of flavors in the coffee menu (2 house made syrups) but I was still happy with there being a fun seasonal option. It's decorated well and I love the tall ceilings. Would come again!
