I never come to Springfield and now i have a reason to.This Café is very unique, chill, open and delicious. I love the setup, its very home-like.The food is fresh and local.The staff is friendly and the service is fast.I would recommend this Café for breakfast or brunch or if youre in need of a delicious cup of coffee.
Cute little place. Service was ok. Food was really good, but my coffee was a bit on the cold side. There are not very many places to sit and they have a pretty small menu. But if you are vegan or gluten free, they have good options for you!
Visited from out of town and were bummed to stop in on a Tuesday only to find out their kitchen wasn’t open (we’ve heard good things about their breakfast!). Our bad luck continued because when we asked for ice coffees (lattes) we were told they didn’t have ice. Not sure if that’s a usual thing or if they were just out, but either way was a bummer. We settled for some hot coffee on a 90° day. It was a sweet, tasty latte and their space was really cute! We were just bummed we didn’t know about their breakfast hours and that we couldn’t get cold drinks on a hot day.
Made a special coffee drink off menu. Great staff. Nice clean space.
Great coffee, great food, chill atmosphere. Except those busy days, then it’s a nice buzzy atmosphere. Win win for me!
The pork belly sandwich is mind blowing. Good food good vibe. A Must try in Eugene.
You have to try the pork belly breakfast its the best!! Great atmosphere too!! 10/10 would recommend.
This is without a doubt one of the best unexpected breakfast experiences Ive had. A very relaxing atmosphere with an inviting feel. The DIY decor makes you feel like you are enjoying breakfast and coffee at a friends house who has a gift for creativity. I highly recommend ordering a latte and selecting one of their housemade syrups. The only thing more impressive than the perfect quality of my latte was the flavor packed breakfast sandwich served on a freshly made biscuit. If you havent had the opportunity to visit this gem dont hesitate on doing so any longer.
Eugene, take note! Main Street in Springfield has got it going on! Washburn Cafe has the same hipster vibe you can find in Portland. Went for coffee and brunch. The sign on the front door made me smile. Awesome bagels, coffee, good service, sat outside in the sun at the picnic tables. I feel like they need a little bit better ventilation inside...it was a little smoky, which is why we chose to eat outside. I had the special...The Italian. It was a little dry, but flavorful. Our daughter had the Monte Cristo, which was amazing. Our other daughter had the biscuits and gravy...also amazing. Husband had the breakfast sandwich ...would also recommend. Overall a great first experience! Will be back.
Friendly & helpful staff. Clean, casual, comfortable. Good coffee & teas. Baked goods, incl gluten free, and very tasty menu. Order at the counter, pickup your drink, food brought to the table. Good for breakfast (Avocado toast is SO good!) & lunch, afternoon coffee. Downtown Springfield is happening!
I sat at a small picnic table on the sidewalk out front with a friend. The friend went inside to place the order for our brunch as they dont have table service. I had a breakfast sandwich with pork belly, egg, sriracha mayo & cheddar on a house made biscuit. The biscuit was soft, buttery and flaky...near perfect. (Aint no ones biscuits as good as grandmas biscuits.) To drink I ordered a chai. They serve Tanglewoods ginger spiced chai, I chose to use oat milk. It was very good but did not deliver the spicy punch I prefer. They have limited seating both outdoors and indoors due to COVID. This will be a location I return to many times.
High standards for beverages and food here. Expect delicious. Love my neighborhood cafe!
Excellent breakfast and coffee ☕.
I go to Washburne regularly for lunch in the middle of my work day. I usually get a tuna melt and it is so, so good—but Ive enjoyed everything else Ive tried, too. I brought out-of-town friends here for brunch and we all enjoyed what we ordered. I got a PBBGH (I think is how its spelled—peanut butter, banana, granola, honey) and it was sweet, sticky perfection. If youre going for an espresso drink, try the Butterbeer Latte!
Even with covid social distancing, The Washburne Cafe feels quaint and cozy.
BEST COFFEE IN TOWN lol. But serious the coffee is good and they make homemade Pop-Tarts all the time and homemade donuts on Saturday and Sunday and theyre incredible.
Nice location to sit, drink and eat🙂
Some of the best barista skills I’ve seen! Coffee is impeccable and food matches. The donuts are amazing and warm and perfect, and my breakfast sandwich was to die for! Great, friendly staff. Cute little gem in the adorable town of Springfield.
They have social distancing set up effectively. I am hesitant to go out these days but I grabbed coffee and a sandwich with a friend and had a great experience. The espresso I think is the best in town currently. The sandwich was expensive but definitely worth the price.
Literally the best breakfast sandwich Ive ever had. Ive been addicted to pork belly lately, and the staff have absolutely nailed it. The whole experience is delightful.
A great place for sandwiches and kombucha on tap. Also had a shopping faire with artisan items since there is no seating at the moment. Very fun!
Great place to hang for a minute or two.
Food was 4.5 star, staff was more like a 3 star, felt like I was putting them out by ordering my food. They were also out of a lot of items.
Coffee is great and the breakfast food on the weekends is also delicious. The brioche buns are made in house as well as the glazed donuts. The environment is also a great experience!
Best coffee in town. If you like single origin roasts it doesn’t get simpler or better than a hot cup of dark coffee from the Washburne. The baristas know what they are doing and will help you out if you don’t. It’s a welcoming place where you don’t need to feel like you must defend your ‘coffee knowledge’ but you’re absolutely welcome to share it. If you were enticed into the shop by the lure of a warm latte you’ll be more than happy with the results and you’ll be most excited to find some of the most delicious food in Springfield inside as well. Come for the delicious coffee, stay because it’s comfortable and you could spend all day eating homemade biscuits, pop tarts, delicious greens and pickled vegetables. And on the weekends...amazing donuts and fried chicken biscuit sandwiches. If I had to choose one establishment to visit for the rest of my life, this would be it.
Excellent breakfast sandwiches, as well as other plates. Lattes are pretty on point. Friendly staff are always willing to help ya out.
If youre looking for a delicious coffee and outstanding food in Springfield, youre looking at the right place. Great for groups of all sizes.
My new go to for breakfast!
We visited Washburne over the weekend and it was wonderful! The staff were all so kind and patient with all of our questions. The fried chicken biscuit sandwich was delicious..not greasy at all and all made in house!
The coffee and food is great. One of the best stops in town for delicious options. The service has always just been so/so. The last year or so it’s become worse than before. Their barista, Zayah, however kept us coming back as she was great and provided excellent service. Once she left we stopped coming. Hopefully they can learn to be more welcoming because that’s their one huge downfall.
They do an excellent espresso shot. We ordered a couple of those and they were served correctly, with a side of sparkling water. However, the gluten free scone we purchased was terrible. It tasted as though it was all baking powder or something. Not sure what happened but it was awful. Otherwise, great espresso.
Even on a holiday, Washburne is a happy, busy place. Stopped in for a quick breakfast, and was pleasantly surprised by the number of people enjoying the morning. Good food, baked goods, and coffee. Lots of upbeat, positive energy....not for those who want a quiet place to work. 😊
From the moment you walk in, you know you’re going to be in for a treat. The atmosphere is very homey and immediately comforting. The food is absolutely delightful! They also have a great selection of espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend this Cafe :-)
Ok
Perfect space for conversation, study or quiet reflection. Nice folks working there. Clean, well lit and well designed.
Great locally roasted coffee and freshly baked goods. A nice spot to grab a snack or have a breakfast or lunch meeting or solo excursion.
Really chill cafe. Unlimited house coffee. Love that they have oatmilk. Wish they had more vegan options. Its a super hip spot.
The Washburne Cafe is the greatest (not so hidden) gem of Downtown Springfield. I struggle knowing where to begin when I talk about this place. The staff and owners alike are among the most generous, honest, and kind people you will find in any city, USA. They care about the product they serve, they care about their employees, the truly care about the community and their guests experience, and it clearly shows. The coffee is second to none. They have certainly mastered art of the perfect cup of locally roasted coffee. The most impressive aspects of this cafe, however, reside in the food. I have had nearly every baked good on the menu and have never fallen anything short of amazed. They bake on sight daily, using quality ingredients and highly technical and creative methods. Their savory food leaves nothing to be desired itself. It is immensely impressive that a coffee shop/cafe such as this can produce such high quality, delicious, home cooked food. Whether it is house cured and smoked Pastrami, Fried Chicken Sandwiches on Friday, dressings made from scratch, rubbed and roasted pork belly, sourdough breads they have started, risen, and baked in house, rotating soups from scratch, their house fermented hot sauce, or any other of the multitude of incredibly impressive and delicately balanced foods they prepare daily you cannot go wrong ordering breakfast, brunch, or lunch from this utterly fantastic neighborhood cafe.
Friendly folks. Nice old storefront, great atmosphere, good food and gluten free for those who need it.
Lots of coffee.😁😁🤸🤓
This place reminds me of my the small town I grew up in. It’s casual and friendly and the coffee and food are great. The atmosphere makes me really happy. It’s a favorite.
I love this place. Excellent customer service, great ambiance, food is delicious, and the drinks are great. If you want black coffee, its free fill ups. If you want a delicious biscuit, they got them. I literally have minimum complaints. Obviously no business or place is perfect, but Washburne is pretty close to it for me.
A charming little cafe. Portions could be slightly more generous. But the food is yummy. Nice staff, clean and quite.
The breakfast sandwich for good and freshly made while you wait.
This place is awesome. It is impossible to find a comfy trendy coffee spot in Springfield not to mention the quality of coffee and service. The team is super knowledgeable and always willing to go above and beyond. They stay up to date with their seasonal items and are always trying new things. Really beautiful environment with lots of natural light. Love this place.
I love this bright and cheerful cafe! The coffee is great and the atmosphere is even better. I live in Springfield and it is always a delight to drag my Eugene friends out to the Washburne and whet their appetites to explore Springfield further. Fantastic energy and super family friendly. I bring my baby and there are always other babies around here. It is so nice as a mom to be able to enjoy a public space that is so accepting of children!!!
Cute coffee shop. I had the chai and an oatmeal cookie. Hubby had the vanilla latte and blueberry muffin. All were delicious. Everyone was friendly.
Go to this lovely place. Get a Washburne biscuit with pulled pork and a coffee. Marvel at the plants. Take a yoga class in the back at Common Bond. It’s the best breakfast/coffee shot in the Eugene/Springfield area.
The biscuits are out of this world! The pastry is divine and very flaky. You order at the counter. You pour your own drinks. There is curbside parking so we had to park three blocks away. Early in the morning there are usually some parking places available.
Good coffee, tasty and attractive pastries. Fast and friendly staff. A nice weekend brunch menu as well as a convenient location with a ton of character! What a great cafe with a small town feel. Highly recommended!
One of the best small coffee shops in town!
I want to love this place but the staff is always so unfriendly. No one greets you when you walk in, they just stare at you like you made a mistake walking in and make it awkward, and ordering can also feel uncongenial. And this is not a one time thing, I’m here regularly and they are regularly unpleasant, that is unless you are someone they know personally then they will gladly ignore you for chatting pleasantly with their friends. The coffee and food are good but the interactions to get them are so off putting. I don’t want Dutch Bro’s level energy but at least acknowledge your customers for Pete’s sake!
Excellent crew and excellent food/beverages
Good folks, good coffee, good treats. I love the vibe of this place and have so much fun sitting outside in nice weather and enjoying a beautiful coffee with friends.If youre in the area I feel like this is the spot for coffee, no hesitation.
Comfortable and open atmosphere with quick service. The counter person was not especially good about letting customers know when their drinks were ready, but no big deal. Good experience overall.
The food was great, very creative and flavorful. The service was okay. The seating/tables left something to be desired. We had to share a table with another group. A lot of the space is taken up by a coffee shop/retail area.
Yummy every time! I love their egg sandwich’s! Today I tried something new, they veggie sandwich, it was wonderful, love the beets and cheese! All their donuts are super good too. A must try place 😀
Solid coffee drinks with a list of dairy free options. Easy going atmosphere that welcomes all. Large enough space to always find a place to sit back or work.
Truly a delight to have access to this kind of coffee shop! Super nice staff, warm, inviting environment, and very good coffee and food. Such a treat. Keep it up guys!!
Nice, cozy and chill inside. Good coffee. Had the chai tea and it was really good. Their biscuits are the best. Inside is very spacious but they could utilize the large space to add some more well placed cafe tables.👍
Love it here. Get a cup of coffee to stay with a good book and enjoy free refills for hours. Their homemade biscuits are amazing.
Best cup of Joe in town!Great space! Love using it to catch up with friends or small business meetings!Friendly service. Tasty food. Tempting doughnuts!Really, I have nothing but good things to say about this place!
Food and atmosphere is amazing. Not my favorite coffee (Slightly)...but otherwise an awesome local business. If you have opportunity to try their sage bacon cheddar scone...heaven.
The Washburne Cafe has changed. Perhaps for the better. I miss the endless chalkboard menu and comfort living room style decor of before. However, the new and improved Washburne Cafe is a modern refresh that doesnt disappoint its inner city roots and customers. The floor plan is much more open. The decor is modern and sleek, while keeping it local-Oregon based. The menu is much smaller but the food and drink quality remains superb. The atmosphere is inviting as ever. Walk in and work or stop in and grab a coffee to go; either way I think youll be plesantly satisfied.
Cool ambiance. Delicious food. Hot coffee. Lovely.👌
This place really is beautiful, a nice atmosphere for writing your next book or screenplay. The food is good too. The coffee is ok. They make their own cashew/almond milk that is really tasty. The only problem I have with this place is the SLOW service. You can wait over 10 minutes for a latte and the weird thing is that there is oftentimes no line of customers. I thought it was a one time thing, that maybe they forgot my order, but no, its happened at least four times. I walk up there to check in on my order and they look at me rudely like I have a third eye. They need more employees and a better tracking system of orders.
SUCH a cute place! Home made almond milk and local coffee served by super friendly staff - the owner made my amazing breakfast sandwich! Highly recommend for a casual coffee with the girls or a coffee date. The have the really nice decor as well - you will LOVE it!
Excellent espresso cafe. Great coffee and food options. Friendly service. Comfortable seating. A very enjoyable place to drink coffee
Nothing superb but alright slightly pricey
The new Washburne is bright and friendly with a great atmosphere. Derek and Charlie (the new owners) are really friendly. The egg sandwiches are killer.Edit: I think I just had the most amazing donuts Ive ever had. The Washburne makes them fresh on the weekends. Also, the pulled pork sandwich is just as dangerous.
Cute cafe, great drinks. Greasy breakfast plate, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff.
This place is amazing! Friendliest staff, best coffee and the food is tasty. Try their baked goods and breakfast sandwiches! They will not disappoint.
Love this spot! Dynamite coffee and eats! Great spot for a coffee date or a good space to be productive!
A modern take on the classic coffee shop experience. Expect expertly prepared espresso drinks and coffee, with plenty of breakfast and lunch options to sate your appetite. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, if a bit sparce in the mid morning. A great place to get some work done in a warm environment with a hot cuppa!
Great place to meet for our Bible study. Iove their blueberry muffins yum.
Great food at a reasonable price in a lovely, bright, older building. This area of Springfield has really improved and is now a nice area to visit.
Loved my carmel mocha. They make their own syrups there! Such a cool coffee cafe, cant wait to go back.
I love coming to The Washburne to get a great cup of coffee, a tasty snack, and get some work done. Free WiFi and plenty of outlets, means I can set up shop and work for hours.I also meet many clients here. Its a fine environment for a meeting. Ill keep visiting frequently for years to come.
I was a fan of the previous Washburne Cafe - I like it for their affordable breakfast, menu options, and there was rarely a long wait.Although I like the new update - a neo Portland vibe - and I also think the new blends of coffee they serve are really great; I am giving 3 stars because I find it be vastly overpriced with minimal options. I got a 12 oz coffee and a small muffin and it was almost $8.I think this place has GREAT potential (and they did just open), but Id like to see some more affordable menu options and a tad more friendliness before I become a regular customer.
I like this place. Just stopped with a couple of friends for a cappuccino, priced right and quite good. Rated it a 4 because I didnt test taste any of the food. Next time.
Most beautiful latte I have ever had and tasted even better great job!!
The Greek omelette is amazing! The coffee is good too. I like the decor and the service is always tip-top. I have been there for breakfast many times, and I have never been disappointed.
I liked this place a lot more before they redid it a few months ago. Its a lot less cozy now, much of the food I liked is no longer available. Its not a cafe anymore, its a coffee house. A hipster coffee house. Pretty disappointed.
Great neighborhood coffee spot!
I thoroughly enjoy the Washburne Cafe. It has a nice, clean, open atmosphere, very friendly service and delicious coffee. I meet there regularly with friends or clients. Its a great meeting place and available for group meetings or events!
I havent yet eaten here, although friends I was with did, and they liked their food. Ive just been in to have tea with friends and family, and it reminds me a bit of the cafe where Friends always met.They have a nice selection of teas and coffees, and a sandwich menu, and desserts that looked really tempting, even to a person who was not ready to eat.There is a comfortable seating area, as well as typical tables and chairs, some local decor, and an almost cafeteria-style atmosphere. They have a station where guests get their own ice water, and you order and pick up your food at the counter.It can get quite loud inside. I wouldnt recommend it for business meetings or book club.The staff behind the counter were friendly enough, but they werent super swift to bus tables - my mom had to wipe off the table we chose to use.I want to give this more than three stars (average) rating, but I really cant until I try the food myself and see.
