I don't give a 5 star coffee review easily, but this spot is an absolute gem! We just cruised into Eugene and this was our first stop off I5. Their shared patio area really transported us into one of our favorite cafes in Mexico. Also, my wife and I got black Americanos and this was the last day of their featured Ethiopian espresso. When there's no steamed milk, cream, or sugar, it all comes down to the quality of the bean and barista. Great service, and the drinks were ready super efficiently. Will be back to try that cold brew!

What a wonderful indie coffee shop! Our friend a Eugenite took us there where we enjoyed wonderful coffee on a sweet patio. Straightforward great coffee roasted and served by 2 lovely owners. With a small selection of pastries we chose to order only coffee. The vibe was peaceful, the patio had lovely flowers, and we all loved sipping our coffees and conversing. Support local businesses!! Support Equiano!!

Great coffee, great feel, live-edge wood tables and bar, a record on the turntable. I ordered the cupping flight and the owner (Okon) walked me through the process and the nuances of the very different coffees. It was so cool!

I stopped into the coffee shop for the first time today and was so utterly impressed by every aspect of my visit! The staff greeted me in a warm manner, there were several awesome coffees to choose from (I went with the Guatemalan), and the treat selection was fantastic... not to mention that the atmosphere is so calming and lovely! There are several spots to sit inside, but this shop also shares outdoor patio space with Vanilla Jill's, which resides next door. I ordered a latte with their homemade cashew milk, and it was legit! Not too sweet, well balanced, and altogether delicious. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's definitely my new favorite spot in Eugene.

Delicious Coffee joint with a very cute garden in the back. I enjoyed the quality craftsmanship that went into my caffeine craving cure. The staff was friendly and warm. I loved the use of floral accents throughout the establishment. They had a beautiful flowering jasmine vine in the garden out back by the stage that smelled outstanding and complimented the taste of my coffee with the smell of beautiful blooms. I will definitely be going back again!

I love this tiny family owned coffee shop! They source and roast their own beans,make their own milks and are all around fantastic people. The courtyard on warm days is so delightful. Good baked treats and gallery walls too. Highly recommend!
