Juice up! You can't go wrong with their cold pressed juices. Green #1 is my go-to. And while you are there, I'd recommend trying some Pho, sliders and tacos (wrapped in sweet potato tortillas ... might sound weird but it works!)

Another great local market. It's the perfect spot to hit up for a few groceries and explore the food carts across the street. Grab a Eugene Weekly outside the store, they often run Friendly St. ads with coupons - $5 off purchase over $25 / $10 off purchase over $40.
