Way back in June, we had the privilege of meeting Sebastián Villamizar of Futura Coffee at Coffee Fest Portland 2025, where we hosted the Going Green sustainability discussion. By coincidence, I stumbled into their Corvallis cafe location on a bike ride a few weeks later, and then went again recently while exploring downtown Corvallis. The experience from the first to the second was very nearly the same. I say that with the highest of compliments, as I appreciate consistency in hospitality and a coffee shop that invokes iconic fonts.
