Coffee Shops, Eugene

Eugene has a wide variety of coffee shops to cater for any type of mood. From the hustle of Full City during the morning rush to the laid-back impromptu music sessions at Out Of The Fog. All offer pastries and buns to go with the coffee and some have a full-fledged menu. These coffee shops are listed in order of our preference.

Allann Bros Beanery and Coffeehouse

152 W.5th Av, Eugene

Their coffee and tea is excellent, but you really have to try their smoothies and coffee coolers. They are awesome. It’s a very spacious store with lots of wood and ample seating. If we had been asked, we would have agreed when it was voted Best Place to Go Alone to Think, Read or Write. Don’t think it is full of sad folks sitting by themselves, though. There is a real mix at this coffee house.

Full City Coffee Roasters

842 Pearl St, Eugene

Recently voted Best Coffee in Eugene, this coffee shop is great for serious coffee lovers. The owner personally roasts all the beans daily. Although fairly small, Full City does a roaring trade and has an outdoor seating area for those in less of a hurry. Full City also has the distinction of being a location for a daily photo for

EugeneDaily.com. So, if you’re in town and want to get your face on the web, sit down for some coffee at Full City at 9:30am, Monday to Friday.

Out Of The Fog

309 W.3rd Av, Eugene

This hardly seems like the place to get a caffiene buzz. The people who hang out here remind you of the ’60’s, but they sell pretty good coffee and the atmosphere is usually very entertaining. There is an outdoor seating area and often a guy with a guitar or some bongos playing a tune. That guy/girl is often a source for arguments over clear cutting old growth forests as well.

Starbucks Coffee Company

205 E.18th & 801 E.13th Av, Eugene

We know it has become the McDonalds of coffee shops, but this is for a reason: they do good coffee. Their shop on 13th Av, by the university, is fairly big and is usually crowded with students getting that jolt before class.

Coffee People

840 E.13th Av, Eugene

Popular with students making a point not to drink at Starbucks, this coffee shop boasts drinks made with organically and shade grown beans. Not sure exactly what that means, but their coffee tastes pretty good. They also have outdoor seating.

Espresso Roma

825 E.13th Av, Eugene

Although its location puts it in competition with Starbucks and Coffee People, this coffee shop does not try to drag you in with specials and flashy interior. Simple wood furniture and nice staff make this a great place for a quiet coffee and a chat.

There are many more smaller cafes that sell coffee, but these are our favourite specialist coffee houses. Some of these companies, like Starbucks and Allann Bros, have more than one location in Eugene. We have listed the most popular and more interesting ones.

US currency. A minimum budget for Eugene would be around 0 dollars per day if you slept outside and begged for food. If you want a roof over your head and cook for yourself at the hostel, $20 per day would be reasonable.
