Bartender didn't make me feel welcome and she didn't let me play shuffle board because they were closing in a half hour. Free fooze ball is great but I guess if you're not a hipster-regular, they don't want your business. read more

It's a cute little place right next to Sizzle Pie. The bathrooms are shared by 3 (?) of the businesses there, so you need a key or code and a walk to the hallway in back... it's inside, tho. I've been here a couple times and what doesn't work for me are the cocktails. The glasses are very small and bartenders are made to measure out the "shot". I may be just old school about it, but the second I see a bartender unable to count a pour, I lose my faith in their bartending abilities. My mom and I popped in recently and it just happened to be happy hour. She got the $5 margarita. I told the bartender how to make my drink and I'm not sure what happened, but by the time I hit the bathroom in back and bellied back up to the bar, my mom was nearly finished w her drink and mine was so wrong, I asked if I could return it. They did allow that. We moved on to our fav restaurant and had an amazing cocktail and dinner. I can't speak for the food, so I'll keep my star rating neutral. I say try the Barn Light for its' location and decor... maybe stick to a beer, cider or wine if you're wanting a drink. read more

I've been here a couple of times and have had a good experience each time. I like the atmosphere, bartenders are friendly, and I like the drinks. I've really enjoyed sitting outside at the tables this summer. We brought our dog with us and had a couple of drinks. It was a nice evening. read more

I used to like this place, but now every time I come here, I like it less. First they made the happy hour not worth while. It used to be $2 off a draft beer or a house wine. Now it's $1 off a draft beer, house wine, OR cocktail. Whoop dee fucking do. My $6 beer is now $5. OR I can spend $8 on a cocktail instead of $9. No thank you. I can go to other bars with better prices. Then they reduced the food menu. I understand needing to streamline your menu options to reduce food waste, but they got rid of the food items I actually ordered. And now, today was the tipping point. I order a hot chocolate, and got barely warm milk with a hint of chocolate syrup. A waste of $4. I don't even want to drink it. The coffee was never great here anyway. Definitely not coming back. read more

Best coffee in town. I go pretty much daily. I don't understand the anti-hipster hate. They're all nice folks. Just don't order a s'mores Frapacino. You're a grown up. That's a milkshake. If you want a milkshake get a milkshake. Coffee requires a grinder, not a blender. Oh, and if you want the special coffee they only serve to those of us with beards and flannel shirts, knock on the counter three times and say, "modest mouse has gotten so mainstream." Then wait. If you speak they'll know you're a tourist. read more

I love this place...I seriously really really love this place. I stop in every time I'm in Eugene. The drinks are on the pricy side but it's worth it. I don't get bothered by random people, I hardly ever bump into anyone I know, they have foosball...what's not to like? read more

Ordered two lattes that were pretty much lukewarm. Got it to go, and realized it wasn't very hot by the time I had already left. The caramel I ordered also wasn't thoroughly mixed in and was chunky at the bottom. I will probably only come back for drinks in the evening. read more

nice place. cool folks to serve you, chill environment. perfect cappuccino, o yeah. wish it was a little later in the day so i could sample one (..or two) of their signature libations!! read more

The Barn Light - bee & i. coffee stop. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Cute little spot! I popped in for coffee and a lil breakfast sammy the first weekend I had visited here. Chatted with the gal behind the bar about things to do in Eugene and she was super sweet. Definitely need to come back for a cocktail or three, seems like this place is "my vibe" where I could meet a few new like-minded friends. Also another place that has oat milk, so I am a big fan. read more

The Stumptown coffee is incredible, the lunch is pretty darn good, and the drinks aren't bad at all. If you're self conscious about "hipsters" with plaid shirts, beards, and tight jeans, lighten up. They're nice people and the service is great, by eugene or any other standards. Sit in here in the afternoon and it's like Cheers up in here, and the people coming in aren't all young cool types. That coffee tho... read more

They have salads finally (she said a happy sing-songy voice)! Fresh yummy greens with my choice of chicken salad, tuna salad, or eggless egg salad on top. Chicken salad it hit the spot just right :) read more

Had an issue with a drink. Ask for it to be made differently. Woman was totally rude. Asked if I could talk to a manger. Low and behold, rude woman(Katie) was the manager. Needs training in customer service. So as I sat there finishing my ruined drink, I watch her be incredibly rude to one of her vendors? Yuck. Won't be back. read more

Once I stepped inside, I felt like I was going into my grandpa's basement...or my Uncle Jim's lakeside cabin during the winter. And I mean that in a totally cool way. It has that old, vintage, cozy aesthetic that's just, heartwarming. Think: wood, vintage, dim lighting and decor. It's a wonderful addition to the changing downtown scene. I'm hoping these new establishments will last the test of time and stay alive for the long haul...because the Eug needs it. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and time into making this place different than any other place in Eug, with the ambiance and decor, and I appreciate that. The drink prices are fair and on-par with most other places in town. The food looks delicious, but all of my friends said the portions were HUGE. Ok...i'm being sarcastic. read more

At present, this is my favorite location to have a brew (beans or barley) and get some work done. Love the music they play, the on-tap selections, and the crowd. Have you heard of Monday game night? Well, grab your Catan board and come on down. Not yet tried the food; my purpose for stopping in just hasn't required that. Places like these take the cake. *bucks, shmar-bucks. read more

If you couldn't tell by the look of the bartenders or the decor that this place is trying to draw in hipsters, just take a look at the cocktail menu. They actually have a cocktail with PBR. And it sucks. Quite bitter. Though at least you get the rest of the PBR can with it! The coffee they serve during the day is WAY too sour, Portland style. Overextracted. I much prefer an Italian style bitter roast. The food menu is so-so. The frito pie was essentially what you might make at home: Fritos, bit of chili, and some cheese. Nothing special and not a particularly large portion. We tried to order two other things, don't remember what, but they were out. Oh well. While the food and drinks are a little disappointing, the bartenders are friendly, and they have two huge, comfy armchairs in the back where you can sit and work or chat. The crowd seems pretty good too, sometimes very hipster-heavy, but during the day and earlier in the evening I found it to be a pretty standard Eugene crowd. The atmosphere is welcoming with just the right level of light in the evening to sit comfortably and have a private conversation with friends, while still being able to meet new people. read more

This is my favorite chillaxx-over-a-cup-of-coffee-place in all of Eugene. Unpretentious, laid back vibe. Delicious coffee. Great beer selection. Kitschy, retro, hunting lodge decor. A welcome change of pace for Eugene. read more

The Barn Light - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Yum! My chicken salad sandwich is delicious - from the bread all the way to the filling! My order came with chips, some yummy macaroon type thingies and some (wow) pickles I haven't had the likes of since I left Alabama 10 years ago. I like the ambiance and the friendly servers. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the $6 sandwich was a bit on the skimpy side - I wanted about 3 more bites because it tasted so good! A great new addition to our downtown food options! I look forward to sampling their cocktails sometime soon. read more

Super interesting (read as: not sure what side of the fence I'm on) atmosphere and vibe. Feels like a tavern, a coffee shop and a lunch spot all mixed into one. Parking was a bear to deal with on a Sunday early afternoon, but that's probably normal for downtown. The food was pretty good, but they didn't have a very extensive menu. I could see going back and trying it again. read more

Thursday night karaoke! This is no trashy karaoke dive - a LOT of quality performers here, and everyone spectates. It gets pretty packed during karaoke, and becomes mostly standing room. When it's crowded, it's difficult to get a drink. Very young and friendly crowd. Cool place - excellent karaoke! read more

Some of the BEST coffee in town, excellent matcha lattes, outstanding food, and awesome baristas/bartenders! Great cocktails, biscuits and gravy, and their vegetarian wrap is one of the best I have ever had. Neat spot for a date, a drink, coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, all of the above... read more

This is a little piece of Portland planted in Eugene, and it's very welcome as far as I'm concerned. Great big space, wifi, really good espresso, happy hour deals and food. The food is a touch on the pricey side for what you get but the sandwiches are really good. Surprisingly few vegetarian options, but overall a great place with nice ambience. read more

The Barn Light is currently my favorite spot in Eugene to grab high-quality (Stumptown) coffee in the morning, and a craft cocktail in the evening (in my case today...early afternoon). I'm a huge fan of their coffee-glazed bacon, which is fabulous on their breakfast sandwich with cheddar and an IMPOSSIBLY fluffy egg. Today however, the bacon on my TBA is overcooked and tastes burnt :( Maybe their morning chef is more skilled in the art of bacon sizzling. Sipping now: a "Freshen Up" cocktail w/ house-infused cucumber vodka, ginger soda, sage bitters... very light, refreshing (obviously) and super cucumbery. I like. I have to give TBL huge props on the side salad. My salad is actually a perfect size rather than being a depressing little stack of 5 pieces of lettuce. This is a salad that takes me more than 2 bites to consume. read more

Awesome New local pub, right next to Sizzle Pie on the corner of Willamette and Broadway. Very nice outside seating area. read more

The Barn Light - Vintage....rustic, but totally new! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Had a blast here with friends while coming home to Eugene for a short weekend. This is the exact type of place Eugene needs, hipster or not. A great atmosphere with excellent beer and an energetic crowd. read more

Excellent coffee and even better staff and service. Great spot downtown to grab a drink and a bite to eat! Their matcha lattes are the best in town! read more

This bar is a breath of fresh aire, and a wonderful alternative to the sleazy, fist-pumping, pukey bars of campus. If you're a student, and value conversation, board games, good music, and classy drinks, the barn light is a good place to meet friends at night, then drink a coffee and do some reading the next morning. I've heard lots of people talk down to the younger hip vibe of the bar, but I really love that the place took time and values art and ambiance. A great place to bring out-of-towners to start the night in a new and improved downtown Eugene. read more

It's the kind of place I want to hang out. No one is hassling me to order more. Water is self serve. They are kind. Helpful people. The toilets are the best, clean and warm! read more

Delicious food (secretly the best biscuits and gravy in town!), amazing staff, great coffee, lovely environment and solid cocktails on top of it all. I've been frequenting for years, but never publicly declared my love for this place. Check it out if you haven't already. read more

When this place opened I got all excited since the owners were from Lawrence, KS. The owners used to work/run my favorite coffee bar in Lawrence called the Bourgeois Pig. These guys brought that nice screw you attitude to Eugene. I always thought the bartenders at the Pig acted like I was lucky to have the honor of paying them for their service. The same can be said about Barn Light. After all, my martini was served in a juice glass with an eye roll instead of a smile. I'm too old now to find this kind of thing endearing. I haven't been back and won't go back, but it was nice to reminisce. read more

Well I've always loved the Barn Light, but it's become an increasingly expensive place to get a drink. I just can't be okay with a 6 dollar beer in Eugene. 6 dollars is expensive for a beer in Portland. I also take issue with their shot and a beer menu. You'd think a full shot and a small beer or a small shot and a full beer for 10 bucks, but it's a small beer and a quarter of a shot. It almost seems like they're just trying to cash in on their trendy ness rather than charging the going rate for things. I'd love to go more, but it's becoming a moral and economic dilemma. read more

The bartenders are terrible and act personally inconvenienced if you ask for anything more than a can of beer. The decor is unimaginative. The sign outside says "little portland". When asked about it, the bartender called Eugene a sh*th@le and said it should be so lucky. I happen to love this town....I also like friendly service and good drinks....so NOT the barnlight read more

Great atmosphere, really good drinks, and really good coffee bar! This is everything we were looking for and was one of the highlights of our trip to Eugene. Tip: good happy hour drink specials read more

I came here with a friend for drinks and wasn't super impressed, nor was I super disappointed. It was a hot day by Eugene standards, and the interior of the Barn Light was nice and cool. They've got a place where you can play games like shuffle board, which makes this place slightly more interesting than your average Eugene bar. However, I'd sooner go to Level Up than come back here, since Level Up has better games, better drinks, and better prices. $7 for a tiny beer is not worth it when I could easily go elsewhere in town and get more beer for my buck! read more

This is a fun, community bar and food joint right in heart of downtown. Great vibe, video games abd fuss ball to goof around on, and great range of drinks hot and cold alike. Always new food, snacks in a gritty menu. The staff and owners are really connected to the area and to their customers. Get your grit on at Barnlight! read more

I love the barn light. It's a great place to hang and people watch with a drink, or eat Frito pies until you die. It's pretty hipster, but it fits right in with the current vibe downtown, and hipster sells right now. You should check it out. read more

trying too hard to be cool. Trying to act like Portland. missed the mark. the interior felt too "produced," rather than organic. service was good. food was not a good value and bland. the tavern sandwich was basically ground beef that fell out of the small bun. not much flavor. tall boy selection was OK. Too many hipsters. pass. read more

Ok...unfriendly staff, only soy milk alternative, asked for extra hot mocha and that request was ignored, mocha needed more chocolate, overall taste was deficient. This is a first and last visit for me! read more

This place. I don't get it. It's trying REALLY hard to be something, but the vibe is so phony I feel myself turning into Holden Caulfield every time I walk through those doors. I like what a previous reviewer said--it's deliberate. And it's a turn off. read more

Five stars for the reliably good cappuccino and proximity to my office. People are great to too.

Great location. Very cool inside. Bartender couldn't have cared less about us. Sat at the bar and we still had trouble getting his attention. Weird. read more
