Coffee Culture Downtown

Mocha was good and the scones too, but the exceptional service with warmth and care will bring me back again.

Great coffee, great pastries. The chocolate croissant is a wonder. The barista is really friendly, and she'll get what you want. If you're in town, this is definitely the place you'll get your morning coffee.

I really like this place. They usually have great baristas and the selection for various coffee options is good. I've only had one negative experience here but anyone can have an off day. Service is usually great, coffee drinks are lovely, pastries are fresh and well made.

Since moving to Corvallis, Coffee Culture has been my number one coffee shop. My girlfriend and I absolutely love it. However when it comes to the downtown location, the last handful of times were honestly horrible. Yesterday we ordered our coffee through the Joe app and both requested soy. When we came to pick up the coffee and our zen rolls, i asked the little blonde girl to heat up the rolls and she appeared to be super irritated by the request. The girl on bar with red and black hair was rolling her eyes and just seemed like she hated being there. After trying my coffee, i realized that it was not soy milk but instead actual milk. After years of not being able to drink milk you get very good at being able to to spot it. It also helps that i was a barista for 6 years.
Anyways, i went inside and asked for the drinks to be remade and the girls told me no. They said they absolutely put soy in both of our drinks. I brought up that i had a dairy allergy and would feel better if they were remade, because they tasted like 2%. They both hesitated while telling me they were sure about the soy and would not be remaking them.
I was super frustrated and had to drive all the way to the Kings location to get it fixed. Once i got the actual soy drink it tasted WAY different and much better. I continually have terrible experiences at the downtown location and the majority of the time, it’s so disappointing. They refused to make my drink, but i just didn’t want to be sick for the rest of the day.

We enjoyed a few incredible espressos here, all of which were well prepared by hand in superior quality, taste, and presentation. The staff was friendly and easy-going, the small shop was surprisingly warm and an inviting place to enjoy a hand crafted coffee. Would recommend for the espresso purist.

I love this place... But.... Until recently one of the barristas was a real turnoff. She was cold and unfriendly. Unsmiling and businesslike, annoyed with specific requests, passively rude in a polite way. My last experience was with a different barrista and she was AMAZING! If CC management is paying attention to these reviews I'm hoping they will investigate, fire the bad and hire more of the good. I hate for such a great place to be marred by bad employees. Don't let one bad apple ruin it for all. I will repost 5 stars if the bad employee doesn't reappear.

Of the few places I've been since moving to Corvallis, this one has had the best coffee. The staff were friendly, and the aesthetic was quaint. Not a large capacity so I wouldn't come here during peak hours and expect to have a place to sit, but it does seem like a great place to meet for coffee and a chat.

Cozy coffee shop with a great atmosphere! The ladies are always very sweet and give great recommendations to spruce up my every day coffee order. Nice stop to start my morning off right on the way to work!

The barristers are friendly and efficient...but had a very negative encounter with the "general" manager (owner?)....i was having a purchased cup of coffee at least 10 feet from the entrance around the corner but a woman complained by the entrance to the owner? Who than called the police to escort me off the property....i do have concerns that she is not providing the volume of coffee as advertised at this location.

This place makes a great cup of coffee. My first year at Oregon State, thus is the only place I would go to buy coffee. There is also a decent selection of teas, as well as some delicious pastries. Would recommend to anyone in Corvallis in the need of coffee, but don't plan on staying, the shop is extremely small.
