👍👍 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,... People often mention crepe, crepes, coffee, great,

    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.)

    Nice place to get a quick bite to eat/drink. They do some breakfast lunch and dinner items but are mostly a bar. Not the best coffee ever but it will do the trick. They sometimes have live music in the evenings!

    16 tons is a nice little cafe on the south side of Eugene. They sell coffee drink, have a food selection, as well as serve beer or cider. Sometimes they have live music. Outdoor seating is available. Staff is friendly and food s tasty. I enjoy the crepes they offer.

    Nice little place nestled in by the other shops. I was very pleased to see gluten-free items on the menu including the buckwheat crepes! The indoor seating was a little cozy but when it is nice out the patio area looked like it would be awesome. Lots of beverage options beside the food. Cool to see the savory crepes as well as the sweet crepes.

    Even though they were not busy, I waited a half hour to find that the "original breakfast sandwich" is just 1 egg and 1 slice of cheese. Service unfortunately was less than good and the coffee very acidic. Giving 2 stars simply for parking availability and outdoor seating.

    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.

    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)...

    Lunch was so scrumptious. Staff is very cool. 10/10 will come again to bask in the greatness of Isabel and Taylor.

    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.

    Quick hit with the family on our way out of Eugene. Good place for a vegetarian breakfast and it also has menu items for the carnivore. Great morning drinks. Self serve kind of place.

    wow where do we start... first we go in and there's only one other customer and 3 employees, none of which ask if we can be helped or I'll be with you in a moment. this went on for several minutes completely being ignored. then in regards to the food The crepe was awful. overpriced and overrated. buckwheat one so look like a overdone Square pancake no flavor salad with a tiny tiny little cup of dressing overpriced overrated

    edit: owners refunded my crepe & the piece of paper was a random, honest mistake (hard to see paper wrapping on brie cheese) & adding a star because the food is actually great...Just need to get your employees to clean the tables and not let dishes sit there for an hour...or touch ppls food after touching $ or other stuff... I was going to leave a great review, because they have gluten free options & the buckwheat crepe is delish. I don’t mind paying $18 for a crêpe & drink At the restaurant that has quality ingredients and tries to source locally. the food tasted really good and the only complaint I could’ve had was the fact that there were hardly any customers but the employees did not pick up the dirty dishes from three empty tables, which sat there for at least an hour... they came out to delivered food but never picked up any of the dirty dishes and cleared off the tables...The management should teach them “full hands in, full hands out” But! Then I found a piece of paper in my Crêpe. & it took a really long time to give me my replacement crêpe ... when I went in I noticed the young man who took my money and was touching registers and canisters and I’ll kinds of stuff was cooking my new crêpe and went to pick it up with the crêpe spatula and used his hand to balance it 🤦🏻‍♀️and the other young man was touching my avocado So I’m concerned that the young people here don’t care that much about cleanliness and since we’re in a pandemic they really need to make sure before they touch foods that they at least sanitize or wash their hands… Every time Lastly it’s kind of ridiculous that I paidTwo dollars for avocado and I got three little slices I understand the paper was a mistake, and the food was delicious...But it’s really worrisome the lack of care and cleanliness 2last things: The buckwheat crêpe was delicious until a got the piece of paper And the employees were very nice and offered to replace it The hot chocolate I ordered seemed maybe not stirred enough ...there was about teaspoon full of cocoa in the bottom of my cup

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

  • 5/5 Shandon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, great patio for hanging out, nice folks. Live music at times as well!

    This place was disappointing, the grilled cheese had barley any cheese and they advertise two cheeses mine clearly had one. The soup is obviously just cambells tomato very plain and served cold. My boyfriend got a pulled pork and they didn’t even put pork they served it with chicken cause they ran out, then on top they just squeezed raw cold bbq on top and it wasn’t even enough. 26$ I never wish to spend again

    They had sticky hands on tap and I was able to fill a growler.

  • 4/5 BananaCookiePie 3. 1 year ago on Google
    Scrumptious banana chocolate crepe! The wait time was a little long, so i recommend coming here if you have a lot of free time. Crepe could use a little more whipped cream too, but that’s just me being picky. :]

  • 2/5 Alicia K. 11 months ago on Google
    At 15 min to close as soon as I walked in they said they were closed and not selling anything. So basically they close 15 min earlier than advertised. I just wanted something quick, it's not like I was wanting them to re clean all the cutting boards and crepe maker.

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

    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!
