Interzone

I love the coffee and atmosphere of this place. Bill is a really friendly guy and the baked goods and breakfast bagels taste amazing.

I know a lot of people who won't step foot into the Interzone because of the hipster vibe, but it's possibly the best cafe in town. The free wi-fi is awesome, but the coverage is spotty compared to other coffee shops, which I think is why the cafe is often so quiet. The food is good and the coffee better┼ this is a real cafe, so the drinks can take a while to make and the quality varies by barista. The most frustrating thing as a Corvallis local, is that they cut back their hours when the students leave town.

Has everything a coffee shop needs. Good coffee, plenty of seating, wifi, outlets and they have good food, too. Laid back atmosphere. Definitely go here over a chain coffee place!

Encapsulates the quirkiness of the area pretty well. I like the personality and atmosphere of the place + great location. Good place to study, catch up with friends, or just hang out it. They also provide books, games, etc

I liked the coffee, and the lemonade was on point, Atmosphere was wonderful, staff was plesant, priced at little high but for all organic coffee it's expected, good music, Disappointed there was zero gluten free options of muffins or bagels nothing :( and I personally couldn't find the WiFi password.

Hello!
This is in response to a review Derek Webb made today, I was next to the counter and heard both conversations easily as he was not only yelling at the poor Baristas loud enough to disturb other customers, but he also easily caused no explaination for the distress he caused during both conversations.
He loudly asked if they could use his water for their coffe machine with no statement of why or hint it is in result of a disability or illness. This is a very unusual request, so this caused confusion, and attempts to find out why that measure was necessary were met with abuse and cruel tones. This of course escalated until the call ended. Kurt, was bewildered as with the basic saying here is to respect the zone, and as apart of that, help others when possible.

The harassment continued to the next call, despite another barista picking up and attempting to placate this individual as to help find resolution. This also ended poorly.

With reading the review this individual left, they not only placed themself as the victim, but also made a solid attempt to ensure the end of the baristas employment at the zone. Which is not only cruel, but could be taken as libel against the integrity of the establishment.

It's understandable to ask such a request, though chemically speaking not only would they need to use your water that is without hazardous impurities, but also a whole new coffee filter as the remnants of any "impurities" from the tracks would bleed into the batch made. In addition they would need to use coffee that would also safely consumable.
The interzone sadly doesn't have that on hand, and if you decided to treat these individuals with civility and kindness, as well as cooperation, they would have said so and the conversation would have ended amicably.

My pop is a navy veteran and disabled due to a stroke, and he raised me with the mindset to treat others with kindness, especially when the frustration is caused by an illness/disability. I would encourage this for future encounters as

Customer service training covers how to help individuals with the services needed, but that never covers and excuses a customer or potential one treating workers with abuse and cruelty that dehumanizes them to an object of subservience.

Take care and best of luck for your ventures ahead, hope this was helpful from one patron to another.

Good food and drinks, the atmosphere is funky and eclectic. Quite unfortunately this place suffers from being really full of itself. I've consistently encountered not one, but several snooty holier-than-thou baristas. As if you can't have coffee there if you haven't read Dante's Inferno and can tell them how many faces death has. UGH. I've had one guy shout at me for leaving a newspaper on an outside table. I was dying to pee and the girl at the counter insisted I buy something before I used the facilities. A really laid back, inviting environment if you're the RIGHT KIND OF PERSON. No thanks.

Not a place for families! Drug addicts loiter outside and cause disturbance in the environment by chanting political jargon and slandering the President. If you like vegan socialists who dye their hair and wear inappropriate clothing to show off how promiscuous their reproductive life is, and use drugs outside the building then this will be the place for you.

Dirty, smelly property, and disrespectful customers.

Gives me the creeps and feels like it's trying too hard to be...whatever it is it's trying to be. Neither relaxing nor mentally stimulating; just loud and distracting. The coffee always tastes watery, even espresso.

Excellent cup of Sumatra coffee. And a lovely little pastry to eat with my drink.
