Since moving to Corvallis, Coffee Culture has been my number one coffee shop. My girlfriend and I absolutely love it. However when it comes to the downtown location, the last handful of times were honestly horrible. Yesterday we ordered our coffee through the Joe app and both requested soy. When we came to pick up the coffee and our zen rolls, i asked the little blonde girl to heat up the rolls and she appeared to be super irritated by the request. The girl on bar with red and black hair was rolling her eyes and just seemed like she hated being there. After trying my coffee, i realized that it was not soy milk but instead actual milk. After years of not being able to drink milk you get very good at being able to to spot it. It also helps that i was a barista for 6 years.Anyways, i went inside and asked for the drinks to be remade and the girls told me no. They said they absolutely put soy in both of our drinks. I brought up that i had a dairy allergy and would feel better if they were remade, because they tasted like 2%. They both hesitated while telling me they were sure about the soy and would not be remaking them.I was super frustrated and had to drive all the way to the Kings location to get it fixed. Once i got the actual soy drink it tasted WAY different and much better. I continually have terrible experiences at the downtown location and the majority of the time, it’s so disappointing. They refused to make my drink, but i just didn’t want to be sick for the rest of the day.
I really like this place. They usually have great baristas and the selection for various coffee options is good. I've only had one negative experience here but anyone can have an off day. Service is usually great, coffee drinks are lovely, pastries are fresh and well made.
I love this place... But.... Until recently one of the barristas was a real turnoff. She was cold and unfriendly. Unsmiling and businesslike, annoyed with specific requests, passively rude in a polite way. My last experience was with a different barrista and she was AMAZING! If CC management is paying attention to these reviews I'm hoping they will investigate, fire the bad and hire more of the good. I hate for such a great place to be marred by bad employees. Don't let one bad apple ruin it for all. I will repost 5 stars if the bad employee doesn't reappear.
Always love it here
The staff is not helpful and quite frankly very disrespectful
This is my favorite Corvallis coffee shop. Everyone is so polite, and they don't complain about my weird orders... For example, try a peach espresso and tonic!
Loved this place from the first taste. Bring your appetite because portions are large. Feels similar to a cafe in Chicago I liked.
Not up to par with other local coffee shops. Maybe it was just the barista but I overheard that she had worked there for two years, so she should know how to steam milk better.
The ladies who work there are so nice and caring. They make my day everytime I go in to purchase coffee. Highly recommend going to coffee culture in downtown.
Service was great, but drip coffee was sub par.
