Many people have different opinions, and even needs, when it comes to a local coffee shop. There are so many factors. Let me tell you the top two positive aspects of Vero Espresso in my opinion. 1. The atmosphere is by far the best. An old house turned into a coffee shop is by far the best way that you can go. Comfortable, plenty of room, and that special warmth that you can only get from a home. Not to mention, if you have a large group you can reserve the upstairs. 2. The coffee is amazing! A lot of people have a strong opinion about their coffee. To me, if it's obvious that the person making it has not only done it for a long time, but they take time and care in preparing it. That is when I am appreciative of my coffee and believe that it is good coffee. There are very few negatives to this place, and that is why I have given it four stars. Again opinions vary but I will tell you this. If you are looking for a super quiet place to go for coffee, then it will highly depend on the time of day to get that at Vero (Mornings and early afternoon). If you don't want to see a lot of college students, then this isn't the place for you. Other than that though, I can't think of any other potential negative things about Vero. It's a great place! read more

I went here yesterday for a lunch time coffee. My sister met me there and ordered food, so I added a veggie panini on my order. The ambiance here is VERY cute. It's basically a house that's been turned into a coffee shop. There is a fair amount of inside seating but it was pretty busy so we ended up sitting outside. All in all there were 5 of us there, and we picked a little picnic table and threw a chair on the end. I ordered an Americano to drink. The smallest size is 12 oz so that's what I got. The coffee was good, not the best I've ever had but it was good. There were three vegetarian options on the menu, and none of them were vegan, which was a shame. I was able to get the veggie panini without cheese and without pesto. Basically bread and vegetables. When it came out, the bread was a bit greasy which I'm hoping was oil and not butter, considering I'd told them I'm vegan. Overall, I would totally come back here. The place is adorable and it's a great spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done. There were lots of students studying and people meeting friends for coffee. The prices are good, we ordered 3 sandwiches for like $22. Only thing I wish they would improve on is the menu - please offer vegan options!! read more

Good coffee, good food, great ambience. Also all the employees are very nice. Will definitely be returning!

I came here years ago and loved it so have been back when visiting Eugene. I went a year ago and it was not so great but as we were on full Covid mode I cut them some slack. I went back this morning. First what I wanted, French toast is not sold on Wednesdays bummer. I ordered a latte...extra hot and some eggs. The place was freezing cold, my extra hot latte was not hot my eggs were over cooked and cold. No thanks, I will not be back. read more

Very cute and aesthetic and the ambiance is not too loud perfect for studying and having a cute delicious snack at the same time read more

Always delicious food and drinks. They get busy so go early or they may run out of what you want.

The food is generally good and overall healthy, but the customer service lacks. We chose the basic egg, toast, bacon and fruit option. Since they served us the coffee first, mine went lukewarm before the food arrived. I asked for a small warm up and the person at the counter stared at me blankly. I explained that the cup was nearly full but not warm. She said, "We offer refills for $1." I again stated that I just needed a warm up and she replied, "well, we don't do that." Seems like an unreasonable policy and not one that will bring us back. I also had leftovers and when asked for some foil a different woman at the counter spoke no words but simply pointed in some direction behind me, as if to show where that might be located. read more

Great place for brunch and a cup of coffee. They have very good cappuccino. We came here for breakfast, and had the toast with fruits and ham sandwich, which is large enough for 2 to share! The plain croissant was also good with their house coffee. They have plenty of tables and seats, both indoor and outdoor. Upstair seats and rooms need reservation. read more

Vero Espresso - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Really really great coffee and friendly service. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because it's spendy! Holy crap. I get an almond milk latte and granola, and spend about $15 every time. I can't remember paying that much for coffee and granola in Portland so I'm surprised. But the food and coffee are delicious and the spot is one of the ones I continue to come back to because of that. Highly recommend to check it out. read more

Great place. Iced Mocha was delicious but the headliner is the french toast. Yes, French toast...how do you make it remarkable, Vero does. It was to do-die-for. Highly recommended. Very pleasant outdoor seating, too. Great for people watching. read more

Great ambiance, and friendly service. Love the outdoor seating and overall cleanliness of the place. Espresso was yummy.

Came here after all the recommendations that this is a must stop if visiting the U of O. Cute place. The latte was so good and smooth. Highly recommend. The food, half waffle with eggs and bacon, took a while to come out and it was good, nothing spectacular. read more

Vero Espresso - Matcha latte and latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Expensiveeee... maybe eat before, but I love the location, look and the vibes this unique eatery brings. Sitting out on the deck on a sunny day is unmatched. Nice for casual business meetings or study dates! read more

Lovely vibes!! I ordered a green tea latte and a bagel with schmear. I found a giant antique chair and got cozy in a corner doing some work. Everyone here seemed happy, there were a lot of people talking and seeing friends or doing business. It was buzzing with activity. My green tea was beautiful. My bagel had so much cream cheese on it that I couldn't eat all of it! It was a great experience in this cafe. For a cozy and vibrant feeling with good food and drink, definitely check them out! read more

It's ok. They have the things you'd expect... except for 20oz coffee cups, which is... Odd, but they're also pretty packed. It's not easy finding a spot to sit. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Eugene by its quality service and good location with outdoor seating. Parking isn't that bad.

My new favorite all around coffee spot in Eugene. Why, do you say, with all the other options? --Top notch coffee --Excellent, mellow outdoor seating on a nice deck under trees. --Good food options--actually GREAT food for a place that also has great coffee. Most coffee-centric places offer some kind of pastry, and that might be very good; Vero's pastries are great, and they also have some egg dishes, sandwiches, waffles etc. that is all of very high quality (i had some nice scrambled eggs with GOOD toast and fruit, with some really high quality jam for the toast. --Friendly people too. Go to spot for post-run joe and snack. read more

I have a confession to make. My review of Vero may be a little bit biased, because this is where I met my boyfriend. We had our very first date here. I threw my best friend a bridal shower here. Vero was a big part of my life in college, so take that into account when reading my review. But really, it's not *that* biased, because it's mostly based on how awesome their coffee is. When my father and I popped in here last weekend on our way north, he ordered a cup of coffee, took a sip and stopped in his tracks to say "Now THAT'S coffee!" And my Dad is a big coffee connoisseur, so that's no empty compliment. Vero is a coffee shop in a beautiful old Victorian home on the corner of Pearl and 14th, walking distance from campus. They serve delicious pots of tea, excellent hot chocolate, fantastic double shot lattes, and great baked goods. They provide comfy seats for reading, cozy tables for studying, and the perfect environment for a first date. They have rooms upstairs that you can rent for events (perfect for a bridal shower) and they have the nicest staff. If you're looking for a great Eugene coffee shop, look no further. read more

The last four or five times I've come here I've been consistently disappointed with the food-even the tomato soup I had the other day tasted like salty pink cream. I ordered tea that was flavorless (I'm not sure how that can happen - old tea?). And today they gave me attitude when I asked for my drink not to be in plastic, since I was eating in and spending $15. I won't be going here again because sadly their service or food is up to par. read more

I was certainly in the moment when I arrived at Vero. The Autumn colors are in full bloom all around the cafe and people were sitting at the outside tables enjoying the weather. The location totally has a residential feel to it and this cafe is a home away from home for people on their laptops. I fell a little bit in love with Eugene at Vero Espresso. The place was nearly full with a great cross section of locals young and old. I was impressed and felt really comfortable. The offerings for food are varied, breakfasts and light lunches. I had an amazing cup of Ginger Yam soup and a great cup of coffee. I'm planning on stopping in again next time I'm passing through Eugene. read more

Best coffeeshop I've been to, and especially the best in Eugene! I've been to many different coffeeshops all around the world (I kinda consider myself a coffee aficionado) and there is nowhere quite like how warm and inviting Vero is. Service: the staff here is super friendly and helpful. Every time I've come here, the Vero staff treats me like family. There is a very homey feeling to this coffeeshop that makes ppl come back time and time again. Coffee: high-quality ingredients from their tasty coffee down to the syrups they use here. I love that they use Stumptown coffee. The baristas are well trained & make beautiful latte art! I love their matchas, chai and mochas..they have great real fruit smoothies too. Food: must say they have delicious food. My favorites are their bagels! Get their Asiago bagel sandwich or their lox, yum. I also love their French toast which comes with lots of fresh fruit, as well as their paninis. Love their gluten-free desserts & vegetarian options! *TIP: they only serve French toast from TH-SUN! Make sure to come early to get it b/c sometimes I've seen them run out b/c it is so popular. Outside: this beautiful Italian-style coffeeshop looks darling! There is a spacious patio with cute flowers and plants. Atmosphere! Inside: the yellow and red decor inside the coffeeshop is lovely. There's also two additional rooms in the back not including the main room. Upstairs is for reservation only and they do cheap hourly rates. All in all, Vero is an amazing coffeeshop! read more

Great service, simple concept and lovely drinks and food. All you need to know. This old Victorian home is perfect for a coffee shop, stop by, you won't regret it. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Eugene. Indoor outdoor seating, fast service and good coffee. Great place to meet someone for coffee.

Love this place!! I went here for the second time just the other day to drink a green tea matcha and read a bit. Of course on a Friday it was packed- luckily the Eugene weather was on my side that day so I sat outside, which wasn't as packed as inside. The matcha was excellent. The first time I came here I ordered a lavender latte, which was pretty good but quite strong but it did taste like lavender which was nice. The ham scramble is verrrrryyyy good, and you receive fruit with it also, pretty big serving! I also love the customer service- the woman at the counter is always so sweet and nice, not to mention a wonderful barista. Vero is the place to go!! read more

Vero Espresso - Yummy green tea matcha with soy milk! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Cute little coffeehouse with a nice ambiance & friendly service. They serve food as well, and not just bakery items. In our last 3 visits, my daughter has ordered the same thing twice. She loved the bacon & scrambled egg sandwich! It's big, so I hope you're hungry. Otherwise it's a great item to split. Their mochas are delicious! They have Italian café lights strung up outside, but aren't open in the evening. They should consider it. We'd frequent them at night if they were open for dinner! read more

Ive heard awful things about their employees experience here and wouldn't recommend supporting this business until they turn around how they treat their employees and how their employees treat each other. read more

My overpriced lox arrived with one side tomato and one side salmon.. to be eaten as a closed sandwich? If it's $9, in my opinion there should be two equal sides. Tasty? yes. But I had to reconstruct my open faced lox to be equal on both sides to be eaten open faced as served.. read more

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

I have been to Vero espresso quite a few times over the years and have enjoyed the overall atmosphere as well as the food and coffee. Unfortunately the last two times I have been there it hasn't really been the best experience. I typically order an iced quad espresso. I am a barista and have worked in quite a few different shops in the area, I know that to not shock the shots on ice that sometimes you need to add water. The last 2 times I have been there the barista has made a big fuss about how the customer doesn't know what they want or what they are ordering and we just need to make it however is good for them without explaining. I was very gracious and ignored the comments, but it was the last straw when I asked for an actual straw and he said "yeah you can have a clown stick." To say the least, I won't be going back to a place that is so pretentious to their customers. read more

Beautiful Saturday morning spot! We're here visiting from San Antonio & my family brought us here, & we were not disappointed. First off, the place is an old house converted to a coffee shop. The staff was friendly and the coffee was wonderful. My wife got a latte and I got a white chocolate mocha. They offer 2 shots of espresso for any size mocha, which was a nice touch. My white mocha was waaay better than Starbucks - more flavor by far... mmm mm mmmmm! The baristas have some skill and put little designs on the froth and we got hearts on ours. This was a cool spot that we really enjoyed! read more

Highly recommend, breakfast menu looks very tasty with french toast covered in various berries. read more

Vero Espresso - Front entry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

A cute cafe in an old victorian style house residing in a cute neighborhood. Stumptown coffee is served here and man....it's addicting and such good quality. I try not to indulge in caffeine anymore but I couldn't help myself and ordered a latte. YUM. Not the friendliest staff but eh... I didn't mind. I just wanted a latte and egg bagel sandwich so I could sit outside and enjoy a conversation with a friend. He got the parfait which had nice fresh fruit and granola. I had the ham egg and cheese bagel sandwich which was huge and filling. They call out your order and you bus your own table. The inside seemed a bit crowded with tables pretty close together but with a large outdoor space on a nice day it didn't matter. On a rainy day I could see this being more of a grab your coffee and go place unless you like being cozy with the coffee lover next to you. read more

Vero Espresso - Ham and egg bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The place itself is nice and cozy, but the service bites. I've never gotten good or even decent service at this place. I think the female barista was angry that day. I don't know what her deal was because I asked her what a drink was and she just stared at me until the other barista answered. She gave me this angry look as if I should know what was in the drink. I was bothered by that. She was just plain rude. I think I ordered a slice of pie once and they didn't even ask if I wanted it heated. There are not many outlets and the tables are small. It's a nice spot to sit and talk, but definitely not a good place to study if you want to use your laptop. I like the big windows. Prices are fine. Service sucks balls and I think there is a minimum for credit card use, which also sucks balls. read more

The wild lox bagel was delicious for food and the vanilla latte was the best latte I've ever had! This is a cute place for studying and enjoying a cup of coffee! I'd definitely come back again! Highly recommend! read more

The food was pretty good but was ruined for us when we overheard and witnessed the owner rudely approach two people next to us. One of the two was eating but the other chose not to eat. They were approached by the owner and specifically asked if they were going to order. The response was "no" then the owner replied by saying that they were not a library and they would like the support. The owner approached the table a second time asking for support. We understand the plea, but to single out a person rudely, is not a way to draw customers. It doesn't benefit an establishment to have good food if the atmosphere is uncomfortable. We will not be returning. There are plenty of good places with comfortable and friendly staff members and owners. read more

Truly a 5* experience. Exceptional personable customer service. Kind & energetic vibes. Appreciate the business card & flyer wall Cheers Forest! Sparkles to the lady lovelies & workers!

The place is beautiful but the hours don't work for me during the week. Seven days a week 7am to 6pm is a good start but I like my coffee shops open a little longer. This review is based mainly on appearance and potential because we rolled in a little after 6 Friday evening but they had already shut down for the day. Owners were nice enough to let us look around and offer us a free coffee coupon. We like to take walks in the neighborhood after work so we'll definitely be back to actually try out the drinks. I didn't get the man or woman's name but they seemed genuinely open to extending the hours based on how many folks had strolled in after 6 that day. The place is a converted Victorian-esque house right on Olive and 14th. The interior is very cozy and bright with all of the windows exposed, plenty of seating for around thirty with more on the nice shady patio out front. There was a separate more formal room for meetings with A/V hookups to a flat screen for business folks that looked like it could hold 8-12 people. I look forward to going back and trying the coffee because the first Yelper Clay S. said they served Stumptown beans. Stumptown out of Portland is one of the best coffee roasters to be found on the West Coast in my opinion and is under represented in Eugene, no disrespect to Wandering Goat or Allan Bros. or any other of the local roasters. read more

Good coffee, comfortable setting, friendly service... what more could you want? We came here for an early (by Eugene standards) coffee to start the day. There are several choices in terms of places to relax in this converted Victorian home as well as outside options. They even had the table umbrellas open to fend off the morning drizzle. Definitely recommended! read more
