Note: As of May 2024, this is just a retail shop. The owner previously had a place where you could…read morebuy prepared beverages, but that is no more. However, if you want to actually drink tea, you can come on Tuesday's at 2 to their focused tastings. This was a great tea shop with so much tea. If you're new to tea, or don't know much, you might be a little overwhelmed. This shop focuses more on "straight" tea, and very little on flavored or scented blends (although there are a few). All the teas have tasting notes next to them, so you can get an idea of what you might be interested in. The owner Josh is super knowledgeable about everything in the store. If you're feeling overwhelmed, you can come on Tuesday's to their focused tastings. The menu changes every week. While the price might initially seem high for a cup of tea, consider that you are getting lots of and lots of resteeps and very high quality tea. Plus you can see how it is brewed if you are unsure of how to brew it yourself. They also have an online store if you are not in the area, where you can have the tea shipped to you. If you've got some time, you can also ask the shop owner about his vacuum sealing process!

All I remember is, it had maple frosting on it. It was really good I wanted to go back the next day and order another one. If anyone know what tea cake i'm talking about, let me know!

Service by Emma was attentive and friendly, with sage advice about options. Ordered the same honey challah bread from the weekend, but sliced and toasted with butter. $10/loaf Amazing butter. Decided to add salt and cracked pepper and then I discovered they had an awesome hot sauce. Added a few drops of that, too, and it is very good toast. Decided to pick up some additional mini challah loaves $6 to freeze and take back for family's Christmas. Also ordered the maple syrup winter squash cinnamon roll $8. It was heated and delicious. Could not leave without trying the chocolate chip cookies just $2. I was persuaded by MR two are better than one and now I have one for the road. For a drink decided to try one of the J-Teas they serve. Just guess which one.

It was insanely delicious and worthy of another trip soon! "Duckling" ordered a Mediterranean toast which was also excellent. Seating is plentiful if you arrive early enough. Parking is plentiful; lot parking in back of establishment or on the street.

We stopped yesterday late evening and my daughter ordered a Peach Oolong Tea with lychee jelly. We…read moreall tried it and immediately fell in love with it! The flavor was so refreshing and perfectly balanced and especially loved that it came with an actual tea bag inside, it really made it feel like a quality tea experience. As former Bay Area boba addicts (BobArea), we've had our fair share of boba and tea drinks over the years, so we're not easily impressed. This one was exceptional. We couldn't stop thinking about it, so we came back the very next morning and ordered three of the exact same drinks! That's probably the best endorsement we can give. I was hoping to try the Peach Jasmine Green Tea as well, but they were out of it, so Peach Oolong it was again and no complaints there. Maybe next time!

I've missed this place when they closed their old location--glad they've reopened. They had the…read morebest tasting boba drinks outside of the SF Bay Area and my favorite whenever I'm in Eugene.

Their selection of organic herbs is incredible -- everything I've ordered has arrived fresh, fragrant, and high quality, and I really appreciate that many of their herbs are locally sourced whenever possible. Shipping is always fast, and I love that they offer back-in-stock notifications so I can keep track of harder-to-find items without constantly checking the website myself. It's clear they've put thought into making the experience easy and supportive for customers. What really makes them stand out to me is that they're more than just a place to buy herbs. They also offer books, classes, and educational resources that help connect people to the wider herbal community. Whether you're completely new to herbalism or have been studying plants for years, they make learning feel accessible and welcoming. Mountain Rose Herbs feels like a company that genuinely cares about plants, sustainability, education, and the people using their products -- and that's rare these days.

Show up and plan to stay a while. Everything about this place was fascinating. The wall of looseleaf tea was particularly astounding. They have a small magnetic display of containers that lets you visualize and smell each type of tea before you purchase. I was particularly enamored with the vanilla rooibos. I love the vintage setting in this aging building. The coffee shop next-door is phenomenal and the local home goods store across the street is a personal favorite. The trio would be an excellent way to spend a meandering afternoon and indulge yourself in fresh coffee, natural products and a few things to upgrade your home interior. Parking is really easy in the dedicated lot and the location is quite central. Prices are very reasonable and the employees were very friendly. I didn't see a bathroom so you might have to go next-door to the coffee shop. Next time I visit, I want to try the shortbread near the checkout counter.

I stopped by one morning to grab a coffee and try their vegan biscuit and gravy. The oat milk mocha…read morewas delightful. The biscuit and gravy was good but not my favorite in town. One thing that gets me is that they must have added cayenne to the gravy. There is no reason to make it spicy. Hot sauce could have been added, if that's your thing. The added spice just didn't seem to go with the dish, in my opinion, and would probably be too much for some folks. The server made the drinks and the food and she brought it out to me at the picnic table outside. Good spot to people-watch. Inside was also very inviting with plants around and tall tables to sit at.

When leaving or saying "have a good day" or "thank you" you're met with nothing, or at least the last 2 times I went I was. But, they're still sweet people.The lattes are pretty good, drinks are of good quality, and their food is also pretty good. I did find many long, black hairs in my breakfast sandwich, though... Service is 5-10 minutes usually, which isn't bad! Overall, I think this place is solid, just some minor things that really make a coffee shop experience lack.

It was very tasty and they serve it with potato chips to give you that sweet savory flavor. The cafe had ample seating, very friendly and helpful staff, and service was fast.

The staff was super friendly and I loved the organic options for alternative milks, coffees, teas and smoothies. They also have granola bowls available which I enjoyed, and a few pastries. My matcha was made with oatmilk and was really good, not too sweet. I heard there's a cat around but unfortunately I didn't see it :( Another huge bonus about this cafe is that they are open until 10pm on weekdays! This might become a new evening study spot for me! I hope to come back and see the cat and try some more drinks! I love the vegan options and comfortable ambiance!

A charming local cafe!…read more We've tried the matcha, hojicha, yuzu matcha spritz, miso honey latte, and chai lattes and all were yummy. The quality of their ingredients is good - probably the best I've found in the Eugene/Springfield area. Their vegan cinnamon roll is also good - rich/sweet frosting that balances well with the pastry that isn't dry and is sweet enough that makes you keep going in for the next bite. They have a bright, rustic interior with high ceilings, a variety of indoor/outdoor seating, and surrounded by a few local businesses (spice & tea, antique, plant stores). Service is fast, servers are friendly. This is a good place to wfh. My only qualm is outlets are hard to come by.
