Can't speak about the grocery part, but the little deli cafe spot inside is a hidden gem in Eugene! Smoothies are made with fresh, organic fruit that you can see them cut up in the back. I'd recommend! read more

ran in to grab a couple items for when i leave town and will be on the road for the next couple days. the vibe was friendly and it seemed like a neighborhood coop with competitive pricing on organic items. i noticed a lot of local brands and some more mainstream that you'd be able to find at probably most west coast natural grocers in other towns. what i mean by that is if you have dietary restrictions and are used to shopping elsewhere but stop in here, you'd probably feel right at home. it's a good place to know about! read more

The Red Barn is a solid Natural Food store in the lovely, funky, cool, and hip neighborhood aka the Whiteaker aka the Whit. I once ran a Mysore style Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga program in this neighborhood back in the day. The Red Barn not only sells a wide variety of produce including organic produce and bulk food items yet they have cool colorful natural material tote bags that I bought one here. There is a nice cafe in the back that serves both veg and non-veg food. Think sandwiches and smoothies. Kudos for having a couple of tables with chairs to enjoy your meal at. They have plenty of vegan options! I opted for a 16 ounce Spicy Mango smoothie. It was quite alright and had kale added to it. Staff here is friendly and like the atmosphere of the Red Barn. This is a solid option to stock up on groceries or a meal aka sandwich or smoothie if you find yourself in the Whit. read more

Lovely little grocery. A little pricey of course but you'd expect that given it's small size. Their lox sandwich is fantastic, so I'll bet the rest of their food is too. The people are nice. read more

Their house made banana chocolate chip vegan cookies are excellent! They've also got Oregon made hoagie bun subs pre packaged along with some house made sandwiches. I just made a quick trip to get some food but i strolled around a bit on the other aisles; lots of bulk buying, even with soap, and they sell all natural baggies and such. Tons of the all natural healthy for you type things, which is nice. I think the coolest thing is you can buy just one of any produce item. I tried my luck on a huge black fig they said was local and it was really good! read more

Beautiful place with wonderful energy. All the workers are so helpful and full of life. I recommend the Wonder Woman smoothie. Super vegan friendly in the back deli. read more

the five stars are for their BLAT we each had our own sandwich a couple days ago, a 102 degree day, on their patio in the shade. this sandwich was heavenly. thank you. read more

Rude employees, wouldn't recommend shopping here and there's kinder, nicer natural grocery stores throughout Eugene.

This place fails on so many levels from snotty managers to creepy owners and they can NOT BOIL a damn egg to save their lives! Seriously and after many requests to do it correctly they simply do not have skill or intelligence to cook an egg!!! their Ruben's are delish however read more

We stopped in here a few weeks ago in the evening hungry, nothing sounded better than some hot soup. We had been a little under the weather, but still had appointments to be at around town, so we decided on soup. We hopped on trusty yelp. It brought us here. They sure did not disappoint. We both had the tomato basil soup, and we both had a sandwich with our soup. I honestly can't remember what he ordered, mine was a hot turkey, with pesto. Everything was delicious. I was going too order hot tea, I was so full, I decided against it. We also ordered a smoothie called the mixed tape. Oh em gee! Flavor explosion in your mouth. It was so delicious. I would go back just for the smoothies, the food, was very quality, and seemed like was made in house. I loved that. Would love to come back again, and enjoy another hot bowl of soup, sandwich, and smoothie. This place is a hidden gem. They have limited seating for places to eat, so if you can grab your food on the run, or eat in a timely manner so their tables, are not being taken over. I am sure they would love, and appreciate it. read more

This is an overpriced store trying to be fancy they do not honor their deals. Don't expect to pay the price that is posted when you get to the register. The clerk refused to honor the posted price on the soda, and called me a liar. I asked where something was and they just said, over there instead of showing me. The store used to be good but when the staff treats you like you are not a valued customer why come back? I just walked out without buying anything at all because of how they treated me. I want them to know that they lost my sale, about $35, to Whole Foods because of the way I was treated, and by the way, it was $23 at Whole foods for the same items, and a item added. When I get poor service and pay more, I am not likely to go back anytime soon. read more

The Whit used to be a very fun and friendly community but like most cool places the neighborhood changes when rents go up and people move to town. I think the staff at Red Barn are newbies to Eugene. I have never had such a poor shopping experience as I did recently. I came in to grab a few items for dinner and immediately a staffer, I think a manager was snapping at me to fix my face covering. No big deal. I messed with it and then looked at the sales shelf near the front door. I picked up a can of tomatoes and started going to the beverage area. She was following me down the isle. I'm not sure why she was so interested in me but I got the royal treatment. I picked out a juice and some cheeses and went to get some dry goods. There she was....creeping around the side (I could see her in my far peripheral vision). All I wanted to do was find a couple jars of food but felt like I was being treated like a criminal. I went to the counter and the lady was chatting w/ the cashier. I know they knew I was waiting to check out but it was as if I didn't exist. I just left my items on the counter and walked out the door. THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!! read more

Whew this place. From any natural grocer you expect expensive, but this place is SO expensive. The vibes are very hippie, very pretentious for no reason. The smoothies are good, the food from the deli is average, and everyone has a pretty morose or just rude personality. They also get very busy very quickly, and the orders take a very long time to come out. But I will say again, the smoothies are very good, so check those out. read more

Quaint store with all the necessities you need. Plenty of vegan options. Recommend visiting.

Bought a sandwich and komboucha for lunch. The komboucha exploded all over me and my coworkers when I opened. We are talking geiser level. Only about half the bottle was left after the incident. When I went back inside to try and recycle my bottle and told them what happened the response I got was "Oh yeah, that brand does that" Ok, maybe you shouldn't stock that brand then...(and it was a flip open top so you can't open it slowly like other brands). I was happy they had lots of vegetarian options though. The sandwich I got was pretty good, but it pre-made and not from their deli read more

Red Barn Natural Grocery - Sandwich and exploding kombucha - Grocery Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

It's cute little market in the off the beaten path in Eugene. There deli inside serves up amazing sandwiches! The best gluten free bread I have ever had! The roast beef is delicious and natural with no crap in it. Just super quality ingredients and delicious. They have lots of other items also. We are just in love with sandwiches.great prices also and nice people that work there. Worth the stop read more

ya...unfortunately I was treated incredibly rudely at the Red Barn Grocery in Eugene. Sadly I won't return. Used to be way more grass roots with locals who had an open minded nature but not so anymore. Virtue signaling and inhuman and un-compassionate treatment. Fare thee well. read more

This is the cutest natural grocery store in the Whit, I'm walking distance to it; they have the freshest organic locally sourced produce and the staff is the friendliest you'll find in all Eugene. They have a nice Cafe area to have breakfast or lunch. Lots of parking too. read more

Grocery is great but this review is more focused on the cafe. We had amazing customer service while there. We ordered a bagel sandwich, 2 of the deli salads and iced tea and they were soooooooo good! read more

Sandwhich.....wow a must have. Came in and needed something healthy. Was amazed at the store and what is carried. Hit the deli and was overwhelmed. Many selections, def dont think one can go wrong with any thing. Got a sandwich with sprouts, red onions, avacado, hummus, and did the sesame shiitake tempeh. Way full of protein and so delicious. Worth driving since it's a bit west of down town. read more

This joint is a dead end. The amount of food that is stocked in this place is pathetic. There is never enough of anything. I imagine the person in charge of inventory is stoned most of the time and forgets to order the groceries. The people who work in here totally get off on the fact that they work at the Red Barn. The self-importance of this natural grocery is alarming. Also, it seems like most of the people whisper to you through contrived smiles in a passive-aggressive effort to provide friendly customer service. Lastly, everything is disgustingly over-priced. read more

Does Red Barn take down payments? I feel my bank account cringing every time I set foot inside. Red Barn is super saturated with Eugenian hippie vibes - people in dreadlocks, Dr. Bronner's soap, house-made drinks that include "love" as an ingredient, prayer flags... you know what I mean. Yet it is so outrageously priced. I saw eggs that cost $8. Who can afford $8 eggs?! I only ever go in to pick up a couple snacks (nutritional yeast popcorn or Newman-Os) when I'm in the area, and to check out the damaged goods shelf. The stuff on the shelf is typically produce, although I've seen packaged products like wine and taco shells. Their discounted prices are what you'd be charged in a less cultured, perhaps "normal" grocery store. There's a bulk section, a deli, lots of beer, and shelves stuffed with organic brands of all kinds. The in-house stuff, e.g. Tree Frog Tonic, is really good, and the sandwiches are decent but (you guessed it) not cheap. Service is ok. Cashiers are friendly young adults in beanies. No problems there. I like to look at all the pretty packages but don't dare put any into my shopping basket. It's worth coming in to take a look and get some special items like local wildflower honey, although I would not recommend the average joe make it his/her regular stop for groceries. read more

Um, they have kombucha floats!!! Not only do they have kombucha on tap, but they have Coconut Bliss ice cream, to complete the kombucha float! It's awesome. This grocer has mainly local, organic, all-natural products. We stopped by here for some kombucha after seeing its sign that they had it on tap, and sat outside at one of the picnic tables on the balcony. There is a small deli area with vegan and glutten free options, and there's also an espresso bar. read more

I will do my best to avoid red barn after today. I attempted to give some feedback and they were 100 percent resistant. The person literally said , "I just take the money". Well I guess I'll go somewhere where they welcome customer feedback and they can take my money. read more

I love this place! It's my neighborhood stop-in for little things here and there. The staff is super friendly, there's a small, but nice selection of natural grocery store tid-bits, and the coconut ice cream sundaes are BOMBTASTIC. I'd love them more if they stocked 6 packs of cider or gluten free beer! *wink*wink*nudge*nudge* read more

Vegan heaven! The deli has fresh bagels with plenty of vegan options, including Tofutti (vegan cream cheese)!

This place was a disappointment. It is a natural grocery plus deli/coffee bar. Unfortunately one feels upon visiting that this establishment is going through a crisis of management and financial stability. Perhaps the two are related. We were confused about the stock available, high prices, odd behavior from staff, and the ho-hum $8 sandwiches. Felt like it was a mistake to come in and likely won't go back. That said, I hope they get turned around and do things right... read more

This little Organic grocery store is quaint, and the closest store to my house (This I love). It is has great organic produce. I also like the sale staples once in awhile. The cosmetics, cleaners and soaps are always nice if you want to be kind to the environment. I would recommend making sure to check the dates on things if you are going to venture into the refrigerated section. It also has a great selection of good beer. read more

In the Whiteaker neighborhood looking for some essentials. Beer selection, check. Chips, got em. Cheese, ok-local. Can't say I would go out of my way to stop in, but is a huge step up from Quik-E-Mart status. The hippie Eugene vibe is strong in this spot but not quite to the status or selection of Sundance or Kiva more like Friendly Street Market or New Frontier. read more

Thank goodness for the Red Barn, else I would feel completely cutoff from healthy food stores over here near River Road. Red Barn is just a few blocks off the bike path and they offer most of the staples for my kitchen, including a beautiful organic produce selection. They also see great juice that they bottle on site. Popular items seem to sell out quickly, though (Coconut Bliss Ice Cream!), often leaving bare shelves. I just moved here from Humboldt, so the hippy-dippy staff and the rando people talking to themselves outside make me feel right at home. read more

What a nice little natural grocery! They have a good selection, and the staff has been sweet and helpful every time I've been in. The prices aren't cheap, but that's to be expected from a tiny corner grocer. I'm willing to pay a little more for convenience and quality, and they aren't exorbitant. The produce is gorgeous, and there's always something interesting that inspires me to try a dish that's off my beaten path. Plus, you can make your own six pack...what more could you ask? read more

Red Barn Natural Grocery - What a beautiful day to shop! - Grocery Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Red Barn is a good little Whiteaker neighborhood market. If you want to get a glimpse of what this neighborhood is all about, just come to the Red Barn; you will find an amalgam of the typical folks that reside in the Whit. They sell a lot of great fresh local produce, local beer and their deli food is pretty good. While the bulk section is great, I do feel like it lacks a little. Also, They do carry some meat however, I wish they carried just a little more. I don't typically do my weekly shopping here, I mostly pop in when I need a few things and don't want to drive to get them. All in all, this place is pretty darn good. The staff is really friendly and for me, the location is quite convenient. read more

I just have to balance out the original review... This is a great small local grocery! It's a wonderful gem of the Whiteaker neighborhood. It has a good selection of bulk goods, produce, wine/beer, staples, and a small deli. Sure it is a bit small and doesn't have EVERYTHING but my experiences with the staff have been pretty good. I've lived all around but Eugene is home and the small neighborhood groceries like the Red Barn are an essential piece of what makes it such a great place. If it's true that's it's owner is a "yuppie" "from California" (nice labeling and discrimination!) then I ask the original poster... where else would you shop in Eugene that is 100% local, there are some spots but not IN the neighborhoods like Red Barn. It's a great store! Shop local. read more

The venerable Red Barn is open late and has great produce... ...that no one who lives in the neighborhood can afford. I don't live there anymore, but used to make the trek across town. Now the place has some yuppie owner from California, a website, and all the other things that I would've sneered at when I used to buy my avocados there back in the day. An "ice cream" bar featuring a truly atrocious gooey coconut concoction that the ancient freezer can't keep frozen is just one of the things that makes me shudder here. The unwashed, generally unhelpful staff is another. Cut and clean your fingernails and wash your hands before you handle my food, already - I am seriously not kidding - and please take home some Dr. Bronner's soap and take a shower! Plus, stop putting a chain across the exit. It's not only insulting to those of us who aren't shoplifting (as are the rude little reminder signs distributed throughout the store), it's a fire hazard. I know that sounds unkind, and I don't mean it that way, but for the prices the Barn charges these days, it should have valet parking - I don't think a minimal level of cleanliness and service is a lot to ask. The money clearly all goes into the owner's pocket, and not into fresh inventory (rotten cheese, stale bulk goods, and freezer-burned frozen foods are regular staples at the Barn), nor into employee salaries. Finally, one might think that a "natural grocery" would be green enough to encourage can and bottle return, but the Red Barn staff seems to think they're too good to handle this chore, and sometimes flat-out refuses to process returns, even though the corresponding products are still in stock. If you must have fresh fruits and vegetables in the 'Hood, well...you really should make a trip up to 8th and Van Buren, and visit the nice people at New Frontier. They have competitive food at much better prices, and the people are charmingly funky, instead of just funky. For shame. I used to love this place, and was one of its earliest customers. Another Eugene institution screwed up by uncaring out-of-town ownership. Only the glory of fresh, local organic produce saves Red Barn from the ignominy of a single star. ----- In response to fellow reviewer Shane, I offer the following thoughts: I have nothing against those who have migrated to Oregon from California, but it saddens me when they (or others) purchase cherished local establishments and ruin them. I'm not hating on the Red Barn, I just don't love the current version as much as the old one. Nobody much likes it when others exploit their cultural heritage just to make a buck. Ask any Hawaiian if you're having trouble with this concept. Second, there are quite a few independent natural food stores here in Eugene which have retained local values, local ownership, and local vibe far better than the Red Barn. Among them are New Frontier (8th and Van Buren - still more or less in the neighborhood), Sundance, and of course the Kiva...and then there's Lane County Farmers Market, which might be the coolest place of all to get local produce. read more

I just love this place. I discovered it by accident one day. Eugene has a plethora of health food store choices and the Red Barn seems to go out of it's way to hire super friendly people. Prices are on par with small stores but the vibe is great. The also have a coffee bar in the back with small amount of seating. I haven't tried the tiny deli, the coffee I got was good but not a place to go if you are in a hurry. read more

There's a lot to love about the Red Barn Natural Grocery. I wish I could say I loved the bakery and smoothies, but today was the third time that I tried to come in and order some lunch. 3 staff in the area, one eating, one preparing food, and one stacking snacks on the counter. I stood there for five minutes and was not acknowledged. This happens every time I go in! Genuinely confused, I asked, "Do I order here, or...?" "Everyone is busy doing other things... they'll get to you when they can." was the answer. All it takes is a quick, "Someone will be right with you" or "Hi! Be there in a minute" to keep a customer at the counter so you can earn a tip and make a sale. I gave up today and grabbed some fruit to eat. I wanted to spend a lot more money at a local business and have a delicious lunch. I want to bring out of town friends here, but I completely give up on the Red Barn deli. You guys made me feel bad about wasting my time here again, and your staff made me feel unwelcome. I'll just go to all the other neighborhood places now. read more

Oh Red Barn, how you keep me cool on a summer's night with great bubblies and coconut bliss! The red barn is located in the whiteaker and is by far the most vegan friendly of our natural markets. They're small, but mighty. I once got picked up by a pirate there and had the time of my life walking to the rose garden drinking beers. You never know what can happen at the red barn! Their prices are great, nice bulk section and always a rack of useful items on sale. Also, the only place in town that I find my Grandpa's witch hazel soap, major bonus. read more

Red Barn has been around for a long time and there's a good reason why. They are a small natural foods market in the heart of the Whiteaker neighborhood and are all about supporting the local community. They have a small produce section, snacks, skin care, refrigerated section and a small frozen section. They even have beer, wine and a deli! They are always friendly when I stop in and are eager to help you find what you are looking for. A few months ago I remembered their deli where I got a bagel and cream cheese and decided to get a sandwich. They make such tasty, hearty sandwiches that are well worth the price and made with care. You can even call in your order if you want to just swing by and pick it up at lunch time. They have coffee drinks, smoothies and even ice cream in their deli so don't forget to check it out. Their prices are on point for a natural foods store, you can't expect the same prices you would get at a Winco but you can expect better quality and know you are supporting local when you shop here. read more

I love having Red Barn nearby to get a few items or to stop at the deli. The employees are always friendly and helpful. It's a convenient place to go for snacks and drinks and they have a good selection of fruits and vegetables. The deli has delicious soups and sandwiches and their plain coffee is very affordable. read more

Sandwich and kombucha lunch. Food was tasty. Service adequate though not very inviting.
