Farmers Union Coffee Roasters
152 W 5th St, Eugene, OR
Crema's Take
“Farmers Union Coffee Roasters is a roastery-focused spot in Eugene where the espresso and pour-over extraction really shine, backed by their own in-house roasting operation. Beyond the excellent coffee, they've built a cozy, spacious gathering place with a thoughtful rotation of specialty drinks (matcha, chai, creative lattes), solid pastries, and breakfast sandwiches that locals genuinely miss when they leave town. Fair warning: it's popular enough that finding a seat can be tricky, and the vibe skews louder and busier, but that's the trade-off for a place that takes both their craft and their community seriously.”

Super excited to try this place. But my excitement certainly did not last long. I felt awkward. The person behind the counter just kind of stared at me, I feel like in almost disgust. The whole interaction just seemed off. Never been here so I wanted to order food, but I could almost hear the foot tapping as I was looking at the 8 items available. Got my food and eh, it’s not great! Also said thank you when retrieving my items only to get no response, just a blank stare. Needless to say this is listed on a Eugene’s influencers page on places to try but I will definitely be able to give my real review to her. I have never felt so out of place and super disappointed overall.
They have a nice rotation on their drink specials. Good selection of treats and bulk coffee. A little loud atmosphere but still able to keep a conversation. Hard to find a seat. Open till 5pm is nice.
When I moved out of Eugene, I missed Farmer’s Union so much. Every single item on their menu- both food and drinks is never a miss. Lattes, mochas, matcha, chai, the breakfast sandwiches, the yogurt granola fruit compote bowl. The interior of the space is also a beautiful old farmhouse reused as the coffee house. The space is perfect for meeting with a friend, getting work done (fyi there aren’t many tables near electric outlets so try to bring your device charged in advance), or simply chilling and taking in the tastes. Everyone is always so nice, but where in Eugene are people not, lol. Love love love 100/10 recommend.
This place seems to be very interested in coffee extraction! 😊 Although they have very nice espresso machines, grinders, and even do their own roasting, the taste varies each time due to the lack of a consistent extraction manual. Adjusting the water temperature and controlling the extraction speed before brewing could help maintain a consistent flavor. Despite some shortcomings, the atmosphere is great, and I recommend visiting!”
Spacious coffee roaster boasting superb coffee and spot-on pastries. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting - the type of place that you could spend hours in with friends or reading a good book. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. I also love the fact that they’re open from 6am-5pm during the week. To put it simply, Farmer’s Union Coffee Roasters is everything that a locally owned coffee roaster should strive to be.
