I came here on a whim after realizing I hadn't been in years. (It used to be a favorite study spot many years ago!) I got an iced machta with oat milk and it was great--creamy ane sweet (a tiny bit too sweet for my preference but I still enjoyed it.) The barista was friendly and my drink came out quickly. This place has a large amount of seating (tables and couches), and a decent selection of food and drinks. If you're looking for a funky, laid-backs pot to study or grab a bite, this is a great place. read more

The iced matchai (matcha + chai) was the best cafe drink I had during my time in Eugene. Perfectly located and awesome vibes. Last time we went we got a cream cheese scone that was so perfectly sweet and soft. Will miss going here! read more

Espresso Roma - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

i was excited about a coffee shop so close to campus, but i will not be coming back here. pros: - large place - lots of rooms, lots of tables, perfect for working/studying. - lots of food/drink options - smoothies, coffees, bagels, croissant sandwiches, paninis. cons: - terrible service. the employees acted like i was bothering them when i asked about the wifi password and if there were any vegan pastries, when there was no one in line. - the pastries did not look fresh, there were multiple flies on them, and the workers did not seem to care. - overall just kind of dirty? it is hard to focus on your work when there is a fly constantly landing on your leg. there was trash from past customers on the ground, and again, the workers did not seem to care. read more

I got a Lox Bagel & a Cappuccino and both tasted great. My food and beverage came out really fast. The place could have been a little more clean but really wasn't too bad. Also, I think they forgot to toast my bagel. read more

Espresso Roma is a great little spot. I came here for the first time a few days ago and immediately wanted to come again. The service is great. Food and drinks are made super quick and employees are friendly. This cafe is really good for studying and getting some work done, especially for busy college students like myself. There's a ton of seating, indoor and outdoor, as well as free WiFi. The coffee is delicious, not bitter at all and their scones are some of the best I have ever had, not to mention they are the size and weight of a softball. They have a nice food menu as well. read more

Very good coffee drinks but weak tea drinks. Nice selection of cold or hot coffees. I had cold latte with an extra shot of espresso made with oat milk and it was very good. My partner had a cold tea with pomegranate which was tasteless with a faint flavor of pomegranate (they use Italian soda syrup to flavor but the drink did not taste like tea nor was it any hint of sweetness). The cold matcha latte was good and more on the sweet side. Very close to the U of O campus and conveniently located. Glad place for people to hang out and chat or study but be sure to purchase something to support the business. read more

WTF?!?!? Maybe I'm old but I watched the guy make my cortado without measuring or tamping the grinds. Literally filled the portafilter and shoved it on. He already had my money and just gave no sh!ts. No texture to the milk. Worst coffee I've had in years. Food was fine. Patio was filthy. Felt like a dive bar not a cafe. Bizarre how far it's fallen. read more

nice open coffee shop, i like the wall color. nice plants, sweet barista, good decor. nice music playing in there. the match was sweet, pretty good but a little too milky. a cool coffee shop to grab a bite or study at. read more

The sandwiches are wayyyy overpriced for what you get. My blt had no mayo, one piece of bread was almost wet while the other was burnt. There was four little hot pieces of lettuce in this sad sandwich. It looked like it had been slapped together and forgotten about. I don't know how someone could feel good after giving that to someone. read more

espresso roma... i wouldnt have done this but you pushed me to my last straw. i just wanted a TASTY TOASTED WARM BAGEL with cream cheese and i get this. THIS. (see photo below) i didnt even know another human could be capable of committing something like this.. how cruel do you have to be to do this to another human? some little word of advice espresso roma, next time toast your bagels and melt your cream cheese a little bit before serving it to a desperate patron like myself. also i knew i was in for trouble when the barista gave me coffee from a drink cooler. if i order a coffee i wanna see you put your back into it and turn on the damn espresso machine! isnt that in your name! out of protest from this abomination i will not be coming back. for awhile.. until i get desperate enough again. p.s. your cups leak all over and make me look like i dont know how to drink something without dribbling on myself read more

I'm a cat owner that frequently takes my cat out on her harness. I am well aware of pet policies as both a pet owner and a food service worker. I have been to plenty of cafes that treat me with the same respect you would with your typical dog owner, however yesterday morning as I walked into Espresso Roma I was confronted with a worker that had the worst attitude towards the sight of my cat. The first thing that this woman says is that she can't be in the cafe. I'm well aware of that, and so I proceed to say that I will just be ordering a to go drink anyway. She continues to insist and mentions that this is the only time my cat can be in the cafe. As soon as I heard that I felt discriminated towards for being a cat owner, so I ask her if she treats dog owners in the same way. Her response, dog owners usually sit outside. My response, do you treat them in the same way you're treating me? I still have to order my drink before I can go outside. Her response, I'm not sure why you're questioning our policy, it is a health violation. By the end of this confrontation I am tired of her attitude and disrespect, so I just let her know that I'm not ordering a coffee anymore and just leave. I understand policies, I understand health codes, I understand. My issue is that if she's trying to argue that my cat may sneeze, shed a hair, or anything else that might somehow contaminate food/drinks within the short amount of time I'd have been in there to get a TO GO drink, then that must apply to any other pet owner. Right? I think the biggest thing is that she was contradicting herself. I follow Roma on instagram, I've seen them post pictures of dogs in their cafe. Clearly they took the time out of their day to stop, take a picture of this dog, and post it. While dogs get admired and welcomed into their space, I get rudely yelled at. The worse thing is, I live above them. Now I can't have easy access to mediocre coffee. I guess that's a blessing in disguise. read more

The coffee latte tasted like it was pulled with burnt coffee beans. Yuck. This is not the barista's fault. She was friendly and smiling. The almond croissant was ok in texture (a little oily) but tasty. Would not go back. read more

This has been my coffee place for years. The coffee was always rich and dark roasted. Lattes were excellent. NOT ANYMORE! Be warned, the lattes are nowhere near what they were. Neither are the muffins which tasted day old. I'm so bummed!!! Please bring back the guys who made good coffee! And the managers who cared about the quality we all expected! read more

Super popular with students, we stopped in for paninis and coffee while checking out the campus. Great chicken panini, salad and coffees. A real student vibe, it's not trendy or fancy at all but a local favorite. Reminds us of similar somewhat funky places around UC Berkeley! read more

Prices not what were listed, coffee so bad I had to throw it out. Used to be the best coffee in town!

The reason for my harsh review for Espresso Roma has to do with cleanliness. The bare minimum that a food service business should offer is clean and safe food/beverages for consumption. However, I found a full fly in my orange juice. If that was the only incident, I would have been more gracious. But while ordering I could clearly see multiple flys and insects swarming around in the glass case with open sandwiches and pastries. I do not suggest coming here, unless you don't mind the extra protein in your drinks or food. read more

Espresso Roma - Dead insect found in my orange juice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I had a complicated order and Becca made sure everything was perfect! Can't wait to come back!

I've been coming here my entire adult life and always enjoyed the campus ambience. Nowadays I only come when I'm in town visiting family, but after today I'm not coming back. My mom ordered a latte and a hot chocolate from a young female employee who did not understand that she was trying to order two things, she had to repeat herself several times to get the order correct. She was very rude to my mom, who went out of her way to be nice to this employee even as she kept messing up her order. When I tried the hot chocolate it tasted like barely warmed up milk, really disgusting. I went back to the employee and told her it tasted like it was barely warmed up milk, that I had loved it the last time I'd been here. She said, "Yeah, it's milk." Huh? I told her I ordered hot chocolate. She said they made it with milk. Major communication problem. I made it clear I didn't like the drink and no offer was made to remake the drink or give a refund. She just smirked at me like an unrepentant child. I went back to my table and did not finish the drink as I wasn't in the mood for warmed over milk. It doesn't seem to matter how terrible the drinks and food are at this place, how filthy the environs, or how atrocious the service, it stays open. I used to be grateful that it did after the closing of Starbucks -- it was a nice little taste of nostalgia for my college days. But that's the only thing that tastes good here. This place has worn out its welcome in this erstwhile patron's heart. Save your money and get a drink at the Dairy Queen across the street. read more

Espresso Roma is a classic Eugene study spot, and for good reason. They're located right next to campus and are one of the biggest cafes we have, with tons of indoor seating and a cute backyard patio with seating. I find the drinks to be cheap for what you're getting, and they have a huge menu with some exotic and adventurous options! I've tried their smoothies, red bull italian sodas, coffees and teas and have loved it all. The staff is so friendly and I can always find a comfortable place to study and get some work done here. I love Espresso Roma!! read more

Above average coffee quick service good tunes. Espresso roma isn't gonna knock your socks off but they will do their job and do it well. Great spot to spend your time in between class to caffeinate and get some work done. Been a frequent customer here since I started attending the UO and I will continue being a customer until I graduate read more

Espresso Roma - Vampire Juice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I was excited to try this place as it seems like a local hub -- people known by their orders and treated well. The cashier/barista was kind and efficient and the portions are huge! Truly generous. The pastry display is lovely and enticing. My cafe au lait was fine and my husband's tea was nice. The major problem? My scone had worms living in it. I'm not kidding. I tore it open, had a bite and thought it tasted funny, so I left it on my plate thinking I'd toss it in a bit. No need to complain because you never know if it's a difference in recipe or preference. Next time I looked over, all these little worms were emerging from the middle of the scone, squirming around. We took it up and they replaced it with one they swore was baked fresh. Now I was nervous, so I tore it open and left it out to get my nerve up to try it. Few minutes late, I reached over to try it and there were worms wriggling around. Super sad and definitely disturbing. Hopefully they get a new supply chain! Really nice people! read more

If you crave really good coffee - nothing less - then Espresso Roma is your place. Not only is the coffee fresh and amazing, but the pastries are to die for too. College types spend hours here working. Its worth the stop, go great great coffee! read more

Everything I want in a coffee shop. The space is huge, which leds to a multitude a seating options to fit any type of vibe you're trying to achieve. You want to come get a coffee and a pastry and study before your morning class? Roma has the vibe. You want to meet a friend and get a smoothie and panini for lunch? Roma is the place to go. You want to chill and enjoy the sun with an iced latte? Roma has a great backyard outdoor space for that. Ive been here alone, with friends, old and new, and I've never had a bad experience. As I've stated, a huge part of this is due to the place. Another aspect is the music, which I thoroughly enjoy each visit. One of the biggest aspects is the service. The vibe at the counter is very get up and go, which I appreciate due to the line that can sometimes get quite long. My recommendation is to get the turkey and cheese croissant, an 8 oz house coffee (trust me it's caffeinated enough), and go sit at a table under one of the many quality local art pieces featured on the wall. Look around, and you'll see college students, professors, people on break from their job, and everything in between. This is truly a Eugene establishment. read more

disappointed. the food looked days old and tasted bland and gross. my friend got an almond milk matcha that tasted nothing like matcha. very over priced and had bad service. the only redeeming thing is the cute environment. :\ read more

I assume this is a great study spot for students, considering how many of 'em were camped out with their laptops when my friend and I stopped in for pick-me-ups one afternoon earlier this month. I would've liked to have had a place like this in college! It seemed like a good place for studying in public with an overall lack of distractions, with the exception of street noise and just a few people chatting at tables. The cafe itself is plain and has simple offerings. I had a mocha and it was okay. Not anywhere close to my favorite mocha, but it was cheap and hot. Maybe it was just that particular drink. If I lived in the area and had some work to get done, I'd give them a second try. read more

Not impressed with this hot americano. It was served to me in a pint glass meant for a cold drink with a hot drink sleeve. Get some more hot cups and skip the single use hot drink sleeve! Also why does a medium americano cost more than a small? There's no difference other than an inch of hot water. read more

This has become one of my favorite coffee shops, not only around the UO campus, but in Eugene in general. Staff: Cool af and they habla español. I clearly don't, but if you do, they seem really friendly to chat with you, regardless of fluency level. (Also friendly and will chat in English, to clarify. As stated above: the staff are cool af.) I try to say thanks in Spanish but my accent sucks and I am embarrassed. Food: always delicious and reasonably priced. I've yet to meet a pastry from their case that I haven't liked. Whether sweet or savory, everything is huge, lovely looking, and delicious. Their cream cheese pastry thingy easily bests Starbucks' version, in size, flavor, and freshness. Probably also price, though I haven't done a price comparison. Coffee/espresso: I'm a broke ass college student, so I stick to house coffee and can't vouch for the rest of their beverages. What I can say is this: 1. Drinks are all super affordable here. 2. Their house coffee is actually good and definitely well caffeinated. I normally hate house coffee and get americanos everywhere else and disguise the flavor by adding embarrassing amounts of splenda or stevia, when available, and creamer. Not here! I add a [heaping] teaspoon of brown sugar, and a big dash of cinnamon, and cream. Freaking delicious and even a small (8oz) cup is usually plenty to get me going! Ambience, etc: Can usually hear classical music playing overhead. Tons of seating in a sprawling layout. Plenty of spots to plug devices in, and free wifi. Tables and chairs are generic. The place is obviously frequented and loved by regulars who are often greeted upon arrival. Here's what you won't find here: Coffee snobbery, pretentious decor, corporate vibes, and/or white ladies screeching at the manager. (I mean, I'm white, but I try to keep my screeching under wraps.) I come here often, but forget to check in. Wanted to write a review in support of a great local business. read more

Another quiet, caffeinated place to work! If I were rating this on the quality of food alone, I might give it 4 or even 3 stars for food that's solid and satisfying but not top-notch patisserie like Noisette or Hideaway. What I love about the place, though, is the affordability, especially for the quantity of food, and the spacious covered patio which also boasts some laptop outlets (book-writing nirvana). Pastries are the hugest I think I've ever seen (bring your appetite and/or a friend to split one). Coffee is tasty, if not my favorite coffee in the area. And the atmosphere is relaxed, quiet, clean, and there are several different rooms to choose from. I hear it's a family owned place and it's been around forever, so that makes me like it even more. read more

Mostly disappointed because I arrived 20 minutes before closing and I was told the espresso machine was closed.
