r/Eugene

let me know where else I need to try and if I'm way off the ball with anything!

Wandering Goat: 8/10

• Cheap bags!
• Delicious coffee ☕ 
• Wide availability 
• Not as complex/fresh as Farmer's

 

Farmer's union 9.5/10

• So expensive 
• Stupidly fucking good coffee ☕ 
• Close to me personally, but not as widely available as I want
• Customer service 10/10 always

 

Tailored 6/10

• Customer service was terrible
• Coffee is just okay, especially for the price
• Priced the same as Farmer's 😭
• Still leagues better than grocery store or bulk beans

 

Pacori: 7.5/10

• Average price
• Love that there's dark roasts
• Still muddy tasting compared to others on this list 
• Pretty good availability

Coffee Plant Roaster: 7/10

• Coffee is good, only fine for the price
• Very stuffy environment, flat customer service
• No value for price
• Only available at their one location
• CBD lattes are an excellent idea, just wish they tasted better

Cafe Ama: 5/10

• Purchased at Safeway, so beans may not have been fresh
• Terribly muddy, even for a dark roast 
• Great availability
• Great price
• Just… gross as sin 🤢

If you live in something like a 4 block radius of Willamette and 23rd I would greatly appreciate you checking your trash, recycling, etc bins for a backpack or a bunch of school folders and papers. Someone broke into my son's car on 23rd early this morning and stole his homework (along with other stuff), which he had worked all day on to get his grades up. It is unlikely anyone actually wanted his junk food trash and school papers, or even his scientific calculator, so they probably dumped it somewhere. We would really appreciate it! Thank you so much. Please don't tell me he shouldn't have left a backpack in his car, I'm well aware and that is not particularly useful at this time. Adding to say: I did check bins up and down the street and alley closest to his car. I'm not trying to push the work onto others. But I had to leave for work and couldn't canvas the whole neighborhood, so appealing to kindness here.

In the past, haven't there been multiple funding drives for the store to buy this building?

The land cost must be sky high just about now.

There’s a couple ducks over by Peach cannabis, very obviously not doing well. Boy has something seriously wrong with his beak, and the girl is super weak and can’t fly away. I called a place and they want me to catch them and bring them in but I have NO CLUE how to catch a bird. They’re just regular mallards

I was there Saturday, April 18, and they just signed a 5yr lease hours earlier so we get to keep our Bi-Mart at least 5 more years!

Our family moved to the area (outside Eugene) in the fall and we are still learning about our new environment. We also have a permitted teen driver. So far, we have done a ton of parking lot practice. Driving School instructors want us to start practicing more on actual roads with traffic.

Where in Eugene would be a good place to begin in a low traffic area? We are looking for a good place to practice in a lower risk area that is a good next step after parking lots.

I am still often using gps to get to where I’m going in and haven’t explored many areas outside those routes yet. He is our oldest so we are also new to having a driving aged kid.

Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Hello all. My mom passed away this weekend and my sister and I would like to have a small memorial and some food. We’re going to just gather at a park but we don’t want to have to do all the cooking so are there any recommendations for good catering at a reasonable price so I can see if they had availability Sunday?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there's something like an art swap in town? Or even something like a free little library but for art and trinkets?

I would love to leave some goodies in something like that.

What's that smell? It smells horrible outside. Yeah I know it's 4/20, but it smells like someone is burning a pile of couch cushions outside. Not cool.

Hi All,

My daughter will be doing an internship this summer at H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. Can anyone give me information on the following:

Safety (including animal attacks)

Distance to nearest city or town

Places that she must see while there

Places to grocery shop/launder clothes

Reliable Mechanic Shop

Banks

Any and all information is appreciated!

From the South and missing all the buffets and Google makes it look like there's nothing nearby.

Please recommend any spots within 50ish miles.

I need to get my passenger mirror replaced on my 2018 Ford Fusion. What is the best shop to go to in Eugene that won’t cost a small fortune?
