Crux Cafe

This may be my new favorite cafe. I dont know what I was expecting of a cafe inside a climbing gym, but the Crux Cafe is one of the coziest, cutest spots Ive been recently. Theres a fire going, the warmth of which is matched by that of the high gloss wooden tables and benches. The walls are a warm yellow that I find somehow not obnoxious despite my dislike of yellow. The decor is climbing themed and beautiful. It reminds me of a cozy study that I wish was in my own home. I got a spicy chai that was delicious. They use mount rose herbs for their teas and the care they put into it comes through in flavor. The cafe in general gives me the sense that someone put a lot of love into the design and I really appreciate what they have created.

I came over because I was going to shop at REI. I was surprised by their amazing masala chai! It tasted so good, a little spicy and a little sweet. I would say its my favorite chai in Eugene. The guy at the desk said it is house made with the spices, tea and milk. This is great because a lot of coffee shops have a concentrate they use for chai. You can really taste the difference!
