Perfect cappuccino!So smooth & flavorful.

I dont 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 theres 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!

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!

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!

Great atmosphere, amazing staff, super warm welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good local coffee. They roast their own coffee and you can buy bags of it. Probably the most underrated coffee spot in Eugene. 100% recommend to anyone to go there at least once. Youll keep coming back. A1 across the board. 💯

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 was sent here on the recommendation of the local hostel owner and I was not disappointed.Very friendly and helpful staff, and a lovely outside area I wish Id had more time to enjoy.Oh, and great coffee - the beans and the shot!

Excellent coffee in a hip part of Eugene. Family owned, friendly vibe. My favorite coffee anywhere. Top quality beans, roast and espresso equipment.

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.

Excellent coffee and a wonderful garden area. I could spend all morning there. House made cashew milk is a must.

Great coffee, hot or cold, and super friendly owners!

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!

Best coffee in town! I ordered house coffee that i didnt expect too much. But after i sip of the coffee, it was The Best!! I recommend this place for Amazing flavors!!!!

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!

Among the best anywhere! They roast their own single origin coffee. They care about coffee as much as we do. When traveling i-5 it is SO worth going a couple miles off of the freeway to get here! Thank you so much to the owners for a pleasant visit and wonderful coffee excellence, we will be back! -Brooke & Ken from Olympia, Washington

Not sure why people think dumping cocoa into coffee makes a Mocha. It doesnt. It makes a chalky nasty drink that is terrible. If you claim to be a good coffee shop invest in a decent mocha recipe. Not good at all. Not sure about the coffee but the chalky cocoa based mocha isnt worth a dollar.

Really nice little coffee shop. Great music on the turntable, delicious coffee. Especially pleasant in warm weather when you can sit outside in the garden under the acacia tree. Sometimes gets crowded since the space inside is tiny. Can be full of kids in the afternoon

Best coffee in town. Homemade cashew milk is worth trying if you havent.

Very pleasant and great atmosphere. Outside seating is wonderful on a nice day. They usually have some type of infused syrup behind the counter and can give recommendations.

Lovely location, friendly and excellent interaction, and most importantly, great coffee.

Amazing coffee..Amazing staff, ambience, and outside seating area. The owner has a very conscious and connected relationship with the origin of the beans. I feel really good in every way spring this business.

Let me first say, for me, coffee should be its own food group because ot varies so much. Equiano is incredible. The main (drip) and press (espresso) vary daily so take a moment to talk to the staff about how you like your coffee. They take time to do that and you have options. They even provide samples if unsure, saving you a less than perfect experience. Outside they share with a neighboring business a great courtyard to relax in. The Whit-neighborhood is known for great coffee houses and Equiano is at the top!!

Delicious Chai. Serene patio to sit in.

Husband ordered a latte, said it was “pristine”, and quite possibly the best latte he’s ever purchased. I was surprised that it was $5, but he notes that he absolutely got what he paid for. The environment is gorgeously styled and barista Jessamyn was excellent :D

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.

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 :)

Very cute little coffee spot! Its warm inside and the coffee is great. Friendly staff and average coffee prices. If you like Starbucks dont come here, its for REAL coffee lovers.

I had the pleasure of meeting Natasha and the owner/roaster today. (I dont 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!!

The Good- Amazing Coffee- Great Latte & Cold Brew- Super Nice & Friendly Server- Cozy Shop- Outdoor SeatingThe Bad- Absolutely NoneThe Ugly- None None NoneNeeded 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 Joes brew she had just recently had.Pleasant surprise to find.

My favorite coffee shop and coffee roaster in Eugene! They roast & serve Eugenes best coffee in my opinion. Delicious single varietal coffee and espresso from small farms in Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Vietnam. And the Equiano Coffee tasting room in the Whiteaker neighborhood is beautiful. Highly recommended if youre in Eugene, Oregon!

Wow, this place is a total gem! I was in Eugene for about 24 hours and came here twice for an americano. It was nice to enjoy it outside on the patio.

Great beans. Simple menu with no wrong choices. Lovely folks. Solid music. Total must visit if you like your coffee in traditional styles.

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 Ill love. Ive been following the owners around since they had the cafe One Cup next door, years ago.

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 Jills, 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. Its definitely my new favorite spot in Eugene.

This is a wonderful cozy coffee shop. The people here are passionate about what they do and it really shows in the quality of their products. In my opinion, they make the best shot of espresso in Eugene and perhaps the whole Willamette valley.

I dont normally give out one star review. But when I do, I mean it. My coffee tasted very bland, water downed, no flavor and burnt. Basically dirt in hot water. I saw positive reviews about this place too! Guess it was just an overhyped lie... The place is so small that I passed by it like two times. Also where can I park my car?? Theres no place to park! SOME people that work there are nice. For sure wont be going back to this place again.

The cashew milk latte is so delicious, especially paired with those amazing chocolate truffles. When I visit Eugene, Equiano is always a priority pit stop because their coffee and beverages are the best. Not to mention, the management and staff are always welcoming and put a smile on my face.

Best tasting coffee Ive had, and theyre always really nice. Hasnt been too busy either, little too no waiting/lines even at 9am, which is usually busy time for coffee.

New to town. Happened upon Equiano. Barista was a sweetheart of a man, coffee and cookie were very tasty and you knew you were drinking coffee. Love that! You have our support and we will be back.

Great coffee in a tiny but well-patronized cafe. The owner is knowledgeable and gives great service. Highly recommended.

This little coffee shop is near and dear to my heart. I appreciate the wide selection of single origin coffee beans and the simplicity of the menu, which aims to highlight each coffees natural flavors and values quality over quantity.Personal touches like the Lego coffee shop built by the owners son alongside an elegant Italian espresso machine and intricate tile work, make the atmosphere of the shop a perfect balance between cozy and classy.Give Equiano a try for yourself and youll see why its a neighborhood favorite!

Delicious local coffee!

Lovely shop with great coffee and excellent service - barista was super friendly and knowledgeable. Got the cashew milk based on another review and was not disappointed. Really unique selection of beans as well. Cannot recommend highly enough!

The coffee at Equiano is pretty good. I honestly wasnt blow away after the hype Ive heard. They are also the most expensive coffee in town. I visited with my family and the atmosphere was stiff. We seemed unwelcome, which is strange as we are friendly, polite, paying customers. Probably wont be going back.

I am obsessed with Equiano. From the beautiful flowers, incredibly knowledgeable and warm service to the groovy record collection... oh and of course, the best coffee I’ve had, Equiano is all my coffee shop dreams come true.

Very cozy. The owner really cares about how his customers are feeling. Great person who cares deeply about the finished product in your cup.

Limited drink options, one type of dairy free alternative, and no additional flavored syrups for those who want it. Worker wasnt exactly the friendliest, but could just have been a slow morning. The shop is small and claustrophobic. The coffee was burnt and watery. Doesnt seem worthy of all the 5 stars it has received. Disappointing :/

This cozy nook is the warmest and yummiest coffee spot in Eugene. Owner and roaster Okon serves up the best beans and the entire crew pays loving attention to pull only the best shots for you. The chocolate ganache for mochas remains unmatched, homemade cashew milk simply delectable, and the outdoor courtyard beneath the mimosa tree saves you on mornings when you need a bit of quiet beauty. The space attracts the best people all together creating a warm, it’s your town environment. Love.

The cashew milk is amazing, coffee is good. Very cute!

A co-worker shared some Zambia beans with me and they were great. Im not much of a coffee drinker, but Im going to have to visit Equiano very soon.

Great tasting coffee, espresso, mochas, Americano and so much more, including baked goodies! Vegetarian/vegan options. Friendly staff and knowledgeable about the drinks! Outdoor seating and decent prices! Check it out, weekly drink specials too!

A beautiful little spot! Some of the tastiest coffee in town!

My mom took me here early Saturday morning. She raved about the coffee and how she has supported the owners business since his early days prior to this brick and mortar shop.We walked, werewthe only two in the shop said good morning to the girl working.There was not one word back from the employee. She gave a half grimaced smile/sneer and went back to the iPad in front of her.As I was looking at the menu board and talking to my mom about what we should order, I glanced at the employee and she literally looked at me, rolled her eyes, frowned and looked back at the iPad.I said to my mom we are leaving.Went to Red Barn and had a great time thanks to their awesome, friendly and super staff.Since when is the above mentioned behavior acceptable from an employee to a customer?Our fix to this scenario was to move one to a different place. Afterall, we have lots of choices now in Eugene. Unlike growing up in the Whitaker District as a kid in the 70s. 😁Im writing this for the owner to process because my mom respects him and told me he is a really great guy.This type of practice can kill a business very quickly. Ive seen it happen first hand at a place I used to work.Please track her attitude and possible comments. She was so extremely rude it prompted this review, which I only do in extreme cases.

Kind people who know what quality coffee should taste like. Attention to detail!

Fantastic coffee experience! Staff is knowledgeable, coffee is delicious, overall 100%

I had first learned of Equiano coffee from the Kiva market down the bulk isle and the thing that caught my eye was the profile of the bean. You gotta get up close. A medium roast and the pleasing look of carefully sorted and selected coffee beans. To me, this meant specialty and upon further inquiry found a great, chill vibe full espresso cafe. Single origin and so many unique varieties. I would recommend a visit with the mimosa tree in the courtyard as it is so inspirational. Anyway Ive been essetially obsessed with this coffee ever since and the community is awesome too of course!

Great coffee, great ambiance, all around friendly atmosphere.

A perfect latte, and a salted caramel to die for. Great vibe great service 100%

Amazing coffee and great service. Looking forward to another cup under the mimosa tree in the courtyard.

Equiano’s coffee beans are of the highest quality, the work of a true artist!

Delicious on a fall day. Such a whimsical place.

Great vibes!Really neat little coffee shop with an outdoor veranda and great vibes. The chai that the barista made me was fanstastic. I think they used a loose chai tea mix and not some concentrated sugar junk. Was soo good.Also they had some super rad art in there.

Perfect cappuccino, fun cappuccino cup, and lovely outdoor patio. Friendly barista as well.

Friendly staff and amazing coffee.

A cozy shop with friendly service and tasty cups

Delightful mocha in pleasant little surrounding.

Whenever i come to eugene, i come here to buy coffee beans. Smoothest coffee i have ever had

Just my favorite place ever! A creamy cashew milk cappuccino and a sweet little community centered atmosphere make this a gem!

I ususally dont give 5 star ratings but the Equiano Coffee tasting room deserves it. Truly some of the finest small farm, single varietal, roasted coffees anywhere! The Bon Mua Viet Nam coffee is one of my all-time favorites and im in love with their Brazilian espresso! If you love coffee and enjoy the coffee experience, stop bu the yasting room when youre in Eugene. Cheers!

Really delicious coffee, cool location, in a very quiet part of town!!

Great coffee with amazing cookies bran muffins!

Great coffee, cappuccinos etc.

A very friendly little shop, with amazing coffee

Great people fantastic coffee☕

Best iced latte in town, hands down!

There are not enough good things I can day about this place to do it justice. I have drank coffee all over the world and this place beats them all! If you get a chance stop by.

Couldn’t be better! #camarooncappuccino

Excellent coffee, wonderful atmosphere on the patio

Awesome owners and java.

Best hack ever!
