Equiano Coffee

Love it here. Such good vibes and what a lovely outdoor area they have. They play vinyl and cassette tapes (sweet tunes). Their homemade cashew milk is 🤌💋 delish. My fav coffee in town. Also live their green mint iced tea in the summer. Vegan chocolates!

Honestly I enjoy this spot more for its location than anything. A miniature oasis with good coffee, although pricey and the portions are rather small. However, the owner is super nice and friendly and the atmosphere he’s created is legitimately worth the expensive price tag (think 5$ for a cuppa, average.) If you want to ball out in a subtle style, give this place a shout.

Equiano is one of my favorite roasters in Eugene, and the best place to learn about coffee. The drinks in the cafe/tasting room are exquisite, and I love the personal touches like the homemade ganache and cashew milk! (The cashew milk is rich and has a natural creaminess and sweetness.) I love going there with my kids because the rustic courtyard is perfect for them to hang out and play. My standard gift for an out-of-town friend is to have Equiano ship some freshly roasted coffee and a jar of coffee blossom honey. I like learning about the varieties and roasts, and the owners and small staff are always able to guide me to something I'll love. I've been following the owners around since they had the cafe One Cup next door, years ago.

Best cashew milk Chai latte I've ever had. I got it unsweetened, then added a tsp of honey.
Unique, robust cold brew. Best neighborhood cafe 🙌

These folks roast some yummy coffee. They have the Covid-19 practices down great as well with an order window and wonderful spacious patio with beautiful plants and trees, and plenty of outdoor seating. Their indoor area is super cute, looking forward to the day when we can enjoy it again. They’re also black-owned! I plan to buy my beans here from now on!

Favorite coffee spot, excellent barista. Dreamy & shady outdoor seating area under a gorgeous Mimosa tree.
Shields Bistro next door, who they share the seating area with has excellent food & very friendly staff as well. They do movies and music also.

I had the pleasure of meeting Natasha and the owner/roaster today. (I don't want to humiliate myself my attempting his spelling - but a helpful and outgoing gentleman) and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. I savored a very delightful and NOT sweet mocha with house made ganache. I took some Vietnamese coffee beans home to try as well. Lovely place, very helpful and knowledgeable staff you can discuss coffee snobbery with. I highly recommend this experience for coffee in the Eugene area!!

Fantastic vibes! I made this patio area into my office and emotional home away from home when I visited. Do visit the blue picnic table under the tree! Prices are a bit steep compared to where I’m from, but match everything in Eugene.

I had a chai latte, made with their homemade non-dairy milk (perhaps cashew, I can’t recall). The coffee house is adjacent to an ice cream/soup/baked goods shop. The patio is shared, and appears to have live music sometimes. The clientele are super friendly, be sure to share the table and keep the happy vibes going :)

Needed a pick-me-up to continue our road trip. I prefer my coffee a little sweeter. She suggested the Latte with honey and that hit the nail right on the head. My wife on the other hand wanted the cold brew and she liked it better than the Trader Joe's brew she had just recently had.
Pleasant surprise to find.

NOTE: This is the tasting room/shop. The roastery listed on Wallis does not do tasting. We went there first and had to backtrack to the Blair address...WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!
-Fantastic coffee. There is drip, espresso, and quick ready-made to-go coffee. There were 8 varietals with tasting notes. Visit this place for a great cup to go, OR, relax in the small tasting room our out front on a nice sunny day and marvel and the amazing variety of flavors coffee can have. Served in proper coffee-ware, it reminded me of wine tasting. Sniff, taste, swish, yum! My wife and I got two different drip coffees, tasted each, both were very unique (in good way). After our initial cup of drip, we ended up getting an espresso (served with mineral water to cleanse the pallet), a pound of beans and we were on our way. Great experience that I can recommend to anyone.
