I really like this place. Ill often order a drink and a bagel or pastry and sit and write for a while. All of the drinks Ive had have been good. The baked goods are good. Even the quiche is decent. The ambiance is just what I think a coffee shop should be -- local flavor, friendly people, artsy. There are tables for two all the way up to tables that could fit 8, as well as some living room seating. Theres a piano folks can play, and live music on Friday nights. Theres a great mural in the back room, so check it out if you go. Unfortunately, theyre often really crowded -- to the point that it can be hard to find seating, and the tables are so close together that it can be hard to carry a full mug across the room without spilling. But if being crowded is the worst thing I can say about it, then you know its got to be pretty good. :)

This little coffee shop has an extremely warm and friendly atmosphere. I come here almost daily and love it. Everyone who works here is super nice, the food and coffee are great, and they often have live music in the evenings. Its a great place to work, study, or just relax. Ive seen people in here knitting, drawing, painting, programming, reading, catching up with friends, playing games, etc. I like to think of it as a shared living room. The parking lot is small, so they offer a discount on your drink if you walk here (you can park across the street). There is also a discount if you bring your own cup.

I came in for a iced dirty chai and white chocolate mocha and was supremely disappointed. The espresso was already pulled and cooled for ice drinks and in theory thats cool but the espresso was WEAK and tasted like it had been sweetened... it was awful. The drinks overall were bland and OVERLY SWEET, as if I was drinking straight liquid syrup. I would not go back. Schimdts garden center serves longbottom coffee as well and it is on a whole other level. I do not recommend this coffee shop at all.

Always have a great interaction with the staff, very pleasant and excited. The atmosphere is nice, have good coffeehouse music on, and they have lots of art on the walls and paper and crayons on the tables for you to draw with. A great place to plug in some headphones and work or to catch up with old friends. They have a few gluten free baked goods, and generally some other delicious treats. Sometimes, theres even live music on the stage.

Imagine coffee is not centrally located, however its one of the best coffee shops I have come across in Corvallis , when it comes to ambience and relaxation. Their environment breeds creativity and stimulates conversation as well as community. Their coffee is affordable and they have baked goods that are allergy friendly and gluten free. I great place to escape 2 when you want to get away from the daily drag. I feel at home here.

A fantastic place to meet friends, Imagine is EXTREMELY chill about spending a long time there (though it can get crowded). Lots of students study together at the big tables, and Ive seen a group do a scheduled Spanish lesson. There are also lots of evening events for various age groups and live music. Drinks and light cafe food are good, but they can take a very long time to a arrive some days.

Good selection of coffee and treats. The space is large and community oriented. The two consecutive days I visited the credit card system wasnt working, which slowed service. They serve a powdered chai latte, which is disappointing to me in a place that takes pride in their coffee. However, they also have a nice house made chai which I recommend over the powdered version.

Fell in love with this coffee house the moment I walked in. The atmosphere is perfect for everyone! Books to read, games to play, coloring on the tables, and live music on select days. The staff is always friendly to customers and honesty care for the customers. Their Chais are AMAZING. If you need a nice place to unwind or study this is the place to go.

Wonderful & friendly people. A great place to hang out and chat with all sort of people with amazingly diverse background . You can hold special events and listen to amazing independent Bands of a variety of music. Meet with writers, script filmmaker and some very neat people. Customer service is exceptionally good

Imagine has a wonderful easy-going atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping in to enjoy their coffee and sit in one of the comfortable chairs to relax for an hour or two. Finding a parking spot can be difficult but thats a testament to its popularity; you can always park across the street and take a short stroll.

My favorite coffice! I set up and work on my laptop here a lot and its also one of my 2 favorite coffee shops in town with Longbottom coffee, not the other brand that so many Corvallis shops have. Local art, music, reading to kids on Saturday morning. Very cool artsy-but-not-pretentious vibe.

We are Beyond the Moon we perform there usually on Saturday nights. Love the people and the apmospher fun place to play. I know there main thing is coffee, I think they would bennifit from serving maybe some wine.. other than that its an awesome place.....

Great place to sit and study for long hours. Great food and drinks! Artsy, sit-down-talk-much style coffee shop. Great place to go for casual meetings. Also has a reservable conference room for meetings or parties. There is live music most evenings.

Great coffee! Great Food! The coffee is very professionally extracted for a smooth cup of espresso. Their breakfast sandwiches are very good as well as their pastries. Staff is always friendly. Decor is somewhat funky, but very comfortable!

Solid cappuccino with friendly service. The atmosphere is a very free artsy vibe but still very clean. Live music, crayons, and books for reading are some of its draws. I go to cafes to write and for that I would grade it an B.

Excellent atmosphere. Even better coffee. Employees need a better system for orders, as mine got lost in the mix and forgotten. They made up for it with their otherwise incredible service and wonderful coffee.

We had a great time! Had wonderful cappucino and saw a really quirky, but charming and originally insightful and artful band. The space is large and cozy with fast wifi.

Raven Crowe

Great local coffee shop that is ideal for meeting up or just spending some time. They have WiFi, art supplies, puzzles, live music, meeting space and good coffee!

Love this place. Really nice staff and amazing coffee drinks. The pasties are good too! Good place to study or hang out. They have music many days of the week.

Delicious food and drinks(I recommend the Chai and Cinnamon rolls) and good service. Also, there is live music and art on the walls. Nice atmosphere overall.

The workers here are exceptionally kind, friendly, and customer oriented. The coffee is pretty good, but the employees are what will keep me coming back.

I love the artsy laid back atmosphere. The food and drinks are tasty. The service tends to be a little slow, consider this a place to sit and savour.

Cozy place, real nice to hang out in with a book (or a friend). Had the everything bagel along with coffee and they were both good!
