Whether you want to spend the first weekend of September trying vegan chocolates, strolling through downtown Springfield or shopping for high-end streetwear, there is something for you to do in Eugene this weekend.
Wilkins Coffee and Unseelie Chocolates is debuting their goblin coffee cart on Sept. 6 during the First Friday Art Walk. Eugenians and Springfielders alike can celebrate the revitalization of Springfield’s historic downtown at the fifth annual Springfield Block Party. The FamShop pop-up at Akira Omakase allows the hype beasts of Eugene to explore a legendary collection of new and resold clothing.

When Megan Burr and Manny Guenduley met, they didn’t know that they shared a love for Jim Henson puppets. And they definitely didn’t know they shared a love for Henson’s “Wilkins Coffee” commercials of the 1950s, the very commercials that inspired their small business: Wilkins Coffee and Unseelie Chocolates.
“Our goal is to entertain our customers,” Burr said. She and her partner have combined their love for Jim Henson, goblins, coffee and chocolates into their small business.
