The Civil War game is the one time of year Ducks and Beaver fans join each other on the same turf to passionately cheer over a football game. Amongst the melange of flapping green, yellow, orange and black flags are some great Corvallis coffee shops. Football fans can enjoy a hot cup of joe before, during or after the game. The top three cafes serving rich-flavored coffee with heavenly pastries and breakfast entrees are The Beanery, New Morning Bakery and Sam’s Station. The Beanery is a popular local hangout.

This spe cialty drink is definitely the best coffee beverage I have enjoyed. Walking into New Morning Bak ery is like walking into grandma’s kitchen.

Sam’s Station adds a little bit of themselves to everything they make, and longtime customers can taste it in each bite. The owners perfect each dish to the fancy of each customer.

Cooney has frequented the estab lishment for several years. “It’s the eclectic humor and the familiarity that keeps me coming back,” he said. “It’s a neighborhood place.” Bright artwork by local artists hangs from the walls, and classical music plays in the background to tune out the sound of the busy chefs in the back of the kitchen. Its family-style atmosphere at tracts locals and anyone in the mood for home-cooked food or a place to meet up with friends. If you are not a coffee lover, Sam’s Station squeezes only the best or anges for its orange juice or will brew up a hot cup of tea.
