It’s comes as no surprise to EW that The Kiva again
comes in atop the category of Best Local Market.
When the big bosses of the EW newsroom go to lunch,
they don’t say “let’s grab lunch”; they say, “ready for
the Kiva” or “time for a Kiva run.” The family owned
Kiva Grocery started as a “Hippie Mall” in 1970 and
has been the do-it-all natural food store at its current
downtown location since 1983.
Runners up in this category include the well-lit and
borderline supermarket mini-chain Market of Choice,
Capella Market and Sundance Natural Foods.
It’s worth noting that, outside of The Kiva, these
small natural markets tend to be concentrated in the
more affluent neighborhoods of South Eugene. Here’s
to hoping West Eugene can have some more fresh-food
options in the future. — Carl Segerstrom

Tsunami Books is a book lover’s dream. The
store that looks so tiny from Willamette Street was
purchased more than 20 years ago, and was converted
from a warehouse to a bookstore that is focused on the
community. “We would call ourselves a community
bookstore,” Scott Landfield, owner of Tsunami Books
says. “We respond to what people who come in here
want.”
Apart from more than 4,000 events Tsunami has
hosted over the years, the public is invested — in
every sense of the word — in the store. Customers are
urged to “inquire within” if they want to help support
Tsunami stay alive. Thanks to Landfield’s reliance on
the public to help raise the $300,000 he needs to secure
a lease for the next 10 years, the community focused
store holds on to its reign as Eugene’s Best Indie
Bookstore. — Max Thornberry
