This place is definitely hit or miss. Would say that it averages closer to a 3.5 than a 4. Of note, the line swing around the perimeter of the shop. You order from the far side of the counter your beverage before going up to the cashier for the rest of your order. I bit confusing since there wasn't any actual signage or barrier that would signal that. Obviously less of an issue for future visits. The lattes are definitely good. The specialty beverages are more likely to be misses than hits. They had a Vietnamese cold brew and honestly it was one of the worst attempts that I have tried. Really it just tasted like really sweet milk with a dash of coffee flavoring. I have tried some of their winter special drinks and those are usually better. Would definitely recommend with sticking to a traditional drink for more consistency sake. It can take some time to get drinks depending on how busy they are. It's ranged from 5-20 minutes from my experience. Food wise would recommend the bagel with salmon spread. They give quite a bit of spread that it's definitely enough to fully cover both halves independently. The bagel with avocado spread would be a close second. One of a few coffee placed in Corvallis so I'll definitely find my way back here. read more

Honestly wouldn't recommend. Immediately walking in, the layout was disorienting with how close the line was to the door. Another review mentioned computer campers, and I get it now- the seats inside were filled by people on their devices and no drink in sight. Reading the menu was a scavenger hunt, and although the prices weren't too bad, the whole café looked like the same copy paste cookie cutter nonsense. All the employees looked the exact same, all the coffee looked the same, and somehow all the foods looked the exact same as well? We got two medium chais, one with oat milk and the other with almond. To start, the ratio of Chai to milk was egregious, it was as if flavor was a suggestion. The Chai with almond milk tasted like bad cardamom water, and the one with oat milk tasted like cinnamon toast crunch milk. Normally I absolutely down drinks, but it stayed full with me all the way home until I could fix it. All in all, $13 for two medium milks is insane, couldn't recommended even if I was paid to.. read more

I absolutely loved coffee culture! I ordered a hot caramel latte and it was made quickly. It was a delicious coffee with a balance of espresso, milk and syrup. I thought the vibe of the coffee shop was cute and relaxing and made for the perfect spot to meet with a friend or do solo work. read more

Nothing has changed. All tables filled with laptop campers. I like thier coffee but there is never a place to sit. Apparently management doesn't care if laptop squatters drive paying customers away. read more

Carved out some time to work at a coffee shop and I thought this place was big enough to accommodate. Lots of space but also lots of folks as well. This was in the early afternoon, which typically is not too busy in most coffeehouses. There were times when it was also quite loud. As for the coffee, I waited while multiple other folks who ordered after me got their drinks. When I approached the counter, they said that they remember the order and that it was made. Where was it??? They did remake it and it was fine. The chocolate hazelnut scone was good as well. The wifi seemed a bit slower than what you'd expect. read more

I stopped here on a whim while waiting for my Yummy Yummy takeout order to be ready across the street. Always on the hunt for a coffee shop to do work or schoolwork in, I noticed the ambiance, first. The ambiance was buzzing. It was loud and chaotic. Multiple groups of people seated at a long table and all talking over one another. The space inside was cramped and crowded. Mind you, it was a rainy day and it looked like the place was designed to accommodate more people outside, so this may have been a one time experience. The tea latte I ordered was DELICIOUS. And not every place is good at making tea lattes. I was so pleased with it and would happily return for another to-go order. I would also come back in the summer months to see if the outdoor space makes it feel less chaotic for dining in and working! read more

It was okay, nothing special. The prices are definitely high for the quality you receive the hot cocoa is bitter and watery, I've had better results from the cheap store bought powder. The cinnamon rolls are nice, but they lack variety in the treats which is sad read more

Been here twice for coffee, tea, and bagels. The coffee was very nice, particularly their seasonal special, the honey rose latte; super tasty. They have a huge selection of tea options. They don't have any juices and their bagels were good, but not toasted enough and don't come with enough cream cheese for how big they are. The cream cheese was really interesting also, almost like butter. I'll be back regardless! read more

Good service, selections, and atmosphere here. The outdoor seating is also an added bonus! Pastries are also always fresh and yummy!

This place has a great atmosphere and vibe. There are a quite a few tables for working indoors and also outdoors during the nice weather. The prices are very reasonable and the drinks are great, higlhy recommend. read more

Coffee is okay. I wanted to like this place because of the appealing outdoor seating. But in review of the several times that I have visited this business, I will note that I experienced lousy - and in a couple of instances - downright unpleasant customer service; employee training? Incompetence was on full display more than once -- but that was okay with me because I realize that it can take time and experience to acquire skills in this setting. I really can forgo great coffee for a pleasant interaction/environment! What actually bothered me and what will prevent my return was what I believe to be a generational, condescending attitude/behavior. Just talk to me like a human being! read more

Staff was friendly. On the outside it has a good vibe, but on the inside it's uncomfortable energy and not welcoming. Their espresso shots are dead, which leaves the drink tasting like garbage. I had noticed the barista set aside a shot of espresso that hadn't been used in a previous order. The shot sat there for MINUTES and then she used that old dead shot for my drink. When I'm paying high prices for a treat to myself, I would rather it taste fresh and yummy and not like burned tar. Definitely would never go back. read more

I love Coffee Culture! Really I like all locations, but the convenience of this location can not be beat. I love that they treat my daughter like they would any grown up paying customer, with the perk of jelly beans on her kid! The blueberry muffin is a must have treat! I don't live in the area, but every time I'm in town I stop by for a pick me up! read more

I typically only drink dark roast black coffee, which they didn't have, so I got a medium roast. I did enjoy the taste though.

Good coffee. Excellent patio, they have an astounding variety of beans for purchase that were locally roasted. Lots of branded stuff for sale, with a fun logo. I'm visiting from another state and almost impulse bought some of their stuff just for the good logo. Lots of college students studying, and I can see why. Who doesn't love good coffee, great patio, and a proper coffee shop feel. Oh and the patio is very very very dog friendly with friendly dogs with owners who are ok with you loving on their dogs. (At least while I was there! Yay puppies!) read more

Yummy yummy coffeevery nice and comfy cafe to visit! :D baristas are super sweet too! 100/10

I've lived in Corvallis for 5 years and I've never been to Coffee Culture. [+] I came to order an extra hot, extra caramel caramel macchiato. It's a typical drink I order at coffee shops. This place definitely did not need the 'extra caramel' because it was way too sweet, which only means one thing- they make it just perfect for my taste. (Well, I've got to go there a second time to confirm that). Lovely customer service and great atmosphere; love the decors. I couldn't ask for more. [-] I don't think I have any dislikes. The reason why I didn't give it full five stars: there's nothing that POP out at me that makes a bold statement that says, 'come to this place to spend your money every morning when you need your dose of caffeine'- Just another coffee shop. [?] I do like this place and will come back here to hang out with friends when we need to go for our coffee runs. I wished they stay open a little bit later, but it's all good. The prices are pretty decent as well, depending on what you want to get. read more

I'm a fan of this place. Nice people and great coffee/food selection. A bit on the pricey side, but that's expected with a specialty place.

I love this coffee! It is consistently good. The wait is always more than I'd like, but the taste keeps me coming back. Today was particularly bad. Waited 30 mins for 2 iced americanos. They were busy and I totally understand but seems like an issue with their espresso machine or employees running it. Thanks for great coffee, hope the wait gets better! I'd recommend to a friend but only if they are not on any time crunch. read more

Super friendly customer service. Delicious Macha latte. I really like this spot. Plenty of parking

My wife and I go out of our way to get cold Brew here when we are in town visiting. Very friendly staff, service is quick, and their food is also great for a coffee joint. Best coffee in town! read more

you cannot convince me that my americano was not straight bean juice. took a sip of it and threw it away #stilltippedtho

Coffee Culture continues to operate two drive-thru locations in Corvallis. This is the first venture into a sit down establishment, and they have done quite a nice job of bring it all together. An abundance of both drink and pastry selections as well as choices for a light lunch. The atmosphere and ambiance is very nice and actually exceeds Starbucks and local favorite Alan Brothers. The lighting is better, ambient noise level lower, and furnishings are of a higher quality. Check it out, I have the fortune of Coffee Culture being closer to my home than any other shop so I have been taking advantage of the free wifi and great staff quite regularly. read more

I showed up here because a shop I go to normally was packed to the point of no seats. I'm glad I came! The cashier was really kind and nice to talk with. The barista who made my latte did a wonderful job. I only wished they had 20oz drinks since I sit for a long time sometimes, but that's not going to stop me from coming back! I went around 11 and while there were plenty of people, seats seem to be available for the most part. Also, I really appreciate the cashier was asking if the drink was for there or to go instead of just instantly going for a to-go cup! read more

Always had a great Chai and coffee experience here. Not sure about the pastries, but the lunch experience is good. I like their sandwiches quite a bit. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff always is nice to me. Love the free daily papers and the option to sit outside when its warm. #corvsmb read more

See all

The coffee is ok, but the baristas attitude is horrific. When a client tells you you been given the wrong drink, a drink combo you order daily at their drive through location, you fix it, not gaslight them and make them take the mistake. I went back in to fix my drink and was told he talked my partner into something else's?? No no and no. We will never give our business to this company again. read more

Good coffee. Bad evening. Hubby and I headed there for our evening walk as a treat after a long week. Arrived after 6pm. Too bad they close at 6 not 7 as the Google and yelp pages (which I checked before we left) indicate. When I asked why they closed early the girl advised their real customers ( ie students) were mostly gone in the summer... so since I guess I am not a real customer I will take my fake longing for coffee elsewhere in the future. The new Starbucks palace awaits! read more

Great coffee shop. Simple, good lattes. Wifi and places to do work or study. Talkative kind staff. Fun to sit along the barstool area and watch the world go by! read more

In town for my daughter's lacrosse tournament at Corvallis High yesterday. Dropped them off and had NO idea where to grab a quick breakfast before the games began. Rolled down the window and asked someone grabbing a few things out of their car and she said, "As a matter of fact, that place across the street is fantastic. I'm heading there now." Great! We turned around and went in. Ironically enough, it was right next door to the pizza joint we ate at the night before: Woodstocks. So I will say this, if you didn't know what you were looking for or where it was located----this place might be hard to find. I mean, we would have driven by it several times if the gal didn't say it was right across the street. Friendly staff. Nice selection of baked goods and options for scrambles and breakfast burritos. I went for the Greek scramble with potatoes and some fresh squeezed OJ. My wife opted for a cup of regular coffee and an egg-n-cheese croissant. Finding the only open table and taking a seat, I surveyed the surroundings. I liked the decor and ambiance of the place. Pointing out to my wife how they could accomplish a different feel with various lighting and paint schemes. It was nice. Several people were obviously regulars as they sat enjoying a mocha or backed good while reading or visiting. Good vibes in here. I did notice the No Studying or Laptops on several tables. Kind of weird since this is a college town, but hey...I guess there are other places to "park your arse" for such activities. My fresh squeezed OJ was fantastic! My scramble was delicious and so were the potatoes. Not a huge portion, but that's okay....I'm trying to cut back anyway. It was enough. My wife said her croissant was microwaved a bit too long and was chewy. But otherwise okay. She still ate it all. Sitting there, I noticed several people's mochas and lattes had these really pretty designs on top in the foam. I wasn't in the mood for one, but I confess that it looked so Delicious, I ended up getting a Mexican mocha to go and take back to the stadium. By this time, the crowd was picking up and the line was definitely growing. I stood there admiring the care and craftsmanship they put into each coffee coming out. All of them looked wonderful. However, it did take a good 10 - 15 minutes for my Mexican Mocha to arrive. Worth the wait though. It was so good and definitely hit the spot as we headed back over to the high school and looked forward to a chilly morning in the drizzling rain. read more

I came here once over the summer. Service was really nice. I got a strawberry smoothie that tasted so bad I couldn't even finish it. Never coming here again haha. Its a pretty big place but they have signs saying you're not allowed to study on the tables or something. Psssssh. What kind of coffee place doesn't allow you to study? read more

It's a toasted bagel. It's not a warmed bagel and not a heated bagel. I've tried 4 times now and they. just. can't. do. it. I get my order to go every time and disappointment wafts out of the little bag every time I open it. Cream cheese is always on the side so there's a bit of a construction process that goes along with all this. Please note CCR: toast the bagel, put said cream cheese on bagel, put bagel in bag...like every other bagel shop in the universe. Manager: since your employees are on their phones all the time anyway, have them Google "maillard reaction." They'll do it - kids love their Googling. This is what need to happen to toasted bagels. The building is new and the space is open, modern and clean but service is spotty because, hey - they're college kids and probably really aren't that interested in the details... like toasting a damn bagel. Personally, I've switched my business to Einstein's or New York bagel (I like to support NYB - kind Turkish family having a go at the franchise). They nail it every time. CCR would probably be nice to sit outside, poach free wireless and work. Just don't expect a toasted bagel. Have I mentioned the bagels???? read more

the search for free wifi brought me here. Coffee culture is a pretty decent coffee place with lots of space and polite baristas. seating is indoors and outdoors, the ambiance is relaxed and clean. I generally get latte. the coffee was good and service was quick. only con, depending on what time you come here, it could be super crowded or super empty. it can get really loud when its full and if you plan on getting some work done while sipping coffee, it wont happen. on the other hand, its perfect to meet friends. I will return to this place. read more

Still annoyed by the wifi thing, but I go here a lot, and it's growing on me. The staff seem to get more personal and friendly every time I go in. They remember my custom orders from the last time- a very nice touch. The first coffee shop in town to put together all the pieces will get a 5 star review, but no one is there yet. Here's what I'd love to see from Coffee Culture: Free hassle-free wifi and comfortable seating. #corvSMB read more

You know, the coffee is pretty good, so if your just stopping in for about 15 minutes, it's a four star joint. Pretty decently sized also, so you won't be bothered if your trying to hang out with someone. Until they take back the middle finger over the wifi policy, they remain a 2-star coffee place among 4 and 5 star juggernauts. read more

I'm no stranger to the hipster sense of entitlement that coffeeshops exude, but this was something entirely different. No social skills whatsoever. They messed up, I asked nicely to fix it.. or not charge me.. nope. Asked twice... still no... suppose I should know better than to ask here. Kid made me pay for the larger one regardless. Asked him if there was a problem and he said he was making fun of me and I should try not to think about it. (his name was Jostin or Dawson..) A few min later two old men couldn't get the other barista to respond (she wasn't busy, just avoiding eye contact with any customers + pretending not to hear). They ended up having to help themselves behind the counter. Other customer line leaned in and whispered that the employees were often surely. Aside, half the time they're pleasant (almost annoyingly so). Nice outside patio that's very cute and the place is very clean. read more

Their mochas are sooo tasty and wholesome without a lot of sweetness just the way I like it :) I often come here to meet up with friends to have coffee and play cards as a ritual (yea we sound old but it's the only time we ever get to hang out altogether). Other times I am here with my friend Jen to study or to catch up. The atmosphere is really nice, homey, and comfortable compared to DB and starbucks. Their food is yummy and made fresh especially their panini's. And it's soooo hard to stay away from their baked goodies. Freakin delish! The only problem I have coming here is the very strong and disparate smell of coffee. Usually I don't have that problem with other coffee shops like Red Horse but it sucks when I smell myself and I just smell coffee. Not my type of perfume to wear around. :T read more

This is an awesome location to sit and do work and enjoy a great coffee. The quality of the coffee and food is always very consistent. However the staff at this location are not the friendliest of folks. Perhaps I came in on a bad day, but the workers did not seem thrilled to take my order or even acknowledge me for that matter. Personally, prefer the customer service provided from the downtown location. Those workers are simply amazing and brighten my day every single time. read more

Just finished up lunch and coffee with a couple friends and as always my latte was terrific, each of our lunches were right on and the service was as friendly as ever. My only complaint is the wireless internet service...just a pain in the a*$ to get connected to. I mean what is the real problem with having an unsecured connection like most coffee shops do now days? Thank god I invested in a WiFi card. To wrap up on a positive note this is always the best coffee I can find in town...I really appreciate the sticker they put on the sipping hole on the to go cups. Get some culture. read more

I like two things with my coffee: friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and downtown. CC gives me two of the three. Most days, I'd take that. It's really everything you'd want from a coffee shop. I especially like the window seating. Nice view of the Kings Blvd neighborhood. If it was downtown and had wi-fi, five stars. If those aren't on your list then this is a great spot. #corvsmb read more
