Poppi’s Anatolia is moving—big changes ahead!

After nearly four decades on Willamette Street, Poppi’s Anatolia is packing up and heading to a much bigger spot at 5th Street Public Market this fall. The new space means more room for diners, a full bar with craft cocktails, and even a walk-in cooler—something the team has dreamed about for years! Poppi’s will now focus solely on Greek cuisine, and there’s talk of importing olive oil and coffee straight from Greece. While leaving their longtime home is bittersweet, the owners are excited for new traditions and bigger celebrations. How do you feel about this big move for a Eugene favorite? #Food #EugeneEats #PoppiAnatolia

Shoppers are loving the taste and the community connection—some even include the farmers who grew the wheat! It’s a real taste of Lane County, and the buzz is growing each week.

Eugene’s food scene: Big wins, tough goodbyes

Ashley Gonzalez wowed the Lane County Farmers Market crowd by taking first place in the local cooking contest with her zesty cactus ceviche—using only market finds and a secret ingredient from home. It’s amazing to see home cooks shine alongside pros! Meanwhile, The Human Bean is turning every coffee run into a chance to help neighbors in need, donating $1 per drink to Food for Lane County. On a bittersweet note, Park Street Family Cafe is closing its doors after years of serving up community favorites, citing equipment woes. How do these changes shape your connection to Eugene’s food community? #Food #EugeneEats #SupportLocal
