16 Tons Cafe

Idk how this place doesn’t have 5 stars. The coffee is AMAZING and the crepes are to DIE for. I’m taking everyone to this place. Also they have gluten free options, like more than 50% of menu can be GF

Very cute and cozy. I went in around 8:45am today and it wasn't very busy. I ordered the "Herbie Gies Bananas" crepe which had bananas, strawberry compote, and chocolate in it, and a vanilla lavender latte. One of the better cups of coffee I've had in awhile. The crepe had a good amount of toppings, a lot of powdered sugar but it was good.. The staff were really pleasant too, they got my food and coffee out to me really quick! It started to get busier by the time I left around 9:30am, but the noise level still stayed to a minimum. I would definitely go back to try their other food! :) it does share a parking lot with a lot of other places, so be prepared to walk just a bit( It is handicap accessible though.)

Great breakfast place if you're in the area. The food presentation was great! Quick service, clean facilities.

Great place for a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, also great place to grab a beer and sit on the picnic table outside and listen to live music.

Great service and great local vibe.

Comfortable place for an iced americano and a crepe. Friendly staff, welcoming to dogs.

Amazing crepes, great beer and wine selection, and a super friendly staff.

So yummy! Love the ambiance here. There's always great music playing and the coffee and food is always yummy.

I had the greatest melty, fresh, savory crepe with brie cheese, onion confit & fresh tomato, which came with a cuppa velvety tomato soup! My beverage was a decaf americano which was so tasty, that I paid a dollar for a refill. 2 of my dining partners ordered avocado toast & others in our large meetup group said their Breakfast choices were phenomenal.

Just to counteract a few of the recent reviews bemoaning 16 Tons closing up shop a little early on occasion... (please understand that these are friends of ours who are hanging on during these turbulent times)...

16 Tons has become a cultural hub, in many ways like Tsunami Books just down Willamette Street, in South Eugene.

For several years, music lovers have gathered on the patio of a summer evening to enjoy smaller musical ensembles (incl. Still Thinking, Satori Bob, The Rubious Dubes, Buffalo Romeo - and Lea Jones).

Great beer selection (and wine/ciders), fine sandwiches, salads, crepes! forsooth, and plenty of space for folks to park with laptops, friends, dogs (outside)...

I love finding "new" places (new to me) an I was looking for something this morning, avacodo toast. When I found this place I was excited to try it, I really loved the price for it. Usually it's more of an "expensive" food item but I was beyond happy with the price, as well as finding somewhere that does crepes! What!! I haven't found crepes in eugene nor that good. An I'm so excited to bust out all the flavors you guys have. I'll definitely be coming back with friends an family. Staff was very quick, clean an sweet!

I often go here to do work on my laptop. The ciders are good, the coffee decent, and the crepes delicious. Lack of outlets and only one large table which is typically taken over by only one person (that’s where one of the two outlets are.)

I have so much good to say about this place- the food was absolutely amazing, they have a spectacular selection of excellent teas (and of course, other drinks), the atmosphere is warm and friendly, but the real star was the service. Stephanie was our server, and she was so, so friendly and enthusiastic and helpful and wonderful. I loved every second of being there.

The food offered lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The kitchen is small so expect a small wait to get your food but it worth the wait. I couldn't get enough of the gluten-free BLTA-- super tasty.

A perfect welcome to Eugene from Los Angeles. Service was sweet and the people are warm and friendly. Highly recommended for new people from out of town. I ate more crepes than I should have... So good. Get a cappuccino. You're welcome in advance.

Fantastic service, fresh food, and fantastic coffee. Patio is a perfect place to chill when the weather is nice. The staff is always so friendly when we’re at 16 Tons. Highly recommend! (And splurge on a dessert crepe with a cup of coffee - you won’t regret it).

Nice place. Unpredictable beer and cider list, but there's usually at least one good thing to drink.

Update: Amazing crepes! Get the apple one! Now 5 stars.

Update 2: But sometimes they get busy and the crepes aren't as good.

They always have a fantastic beer selection on tap and the food is super yummy! If you try the savory crépes or a sandwich make sure to try the onion confit on it, its theeee best! My favorite server there is grace, shes always so nice and always sparks up very interesting and genuine conversation. I would definitely recommend.

When I got there at 8:30, they were pretty slow but it had started hopping by 10. No one bugged me for hanging out sipping on my tea. The sweet omlette was tastey.

One of my favorite little tea houses. Fantastic tea choices, also ciders and coffee. Small menu and ample seating inside and out. Staff is super friendly.

Loved this place and the tea selection!
