Favorite coffee shops in Eugene

( the not so frugal part of our lives...)

Usually we make all our coffee drinks at home with the stove-top espresso maker but ones in a while, hanging out in a coffee shop is a very nice treat.
Also, the fast speed internet now available in almost every cafe' is a bonus when you usually only have access to dial-up.
 
Wandering Goat coffee Company (268 Madison St, Eugene)
VERY good organic coffee. You can buy green beans for $5/Lbs and roast them to your own perfection in a popcorn popper! Yes. That is the only frugal part...
The lattes are beautiful art creations to perfection. 2% milk or whole milk are the only options for drinks with milk. Great atmosphere and WIFI is free.
Prices? Fairly high but well worth it when you have a need for a splurge. As my mother said after her first visit: "the best latte I ever had"


Vero (205 E 14th Ave, Eugene)
A new coffee shop in a beautiful old house. Very nice staff and good coffee. Old furniture, close to downtown. The play great old jazz in the speakers and serve coffee in large mugs
WIFI, big tables for larger groups or meetings are also a plus.


Barry's Espresso  Bakery & Deli (2805 Oak St, Eugene)
One of the best bakeries in Eugene. Great coffee drinks, staff, homemade breads, cheese-sticks,soups and sandwiches.
No WIFI unfortunately but great lunch! And at very good prices. Our teenagers love the "Black & White" cookies.
