I think I've found my calling, drive-thru coffee huts. They are all over the place in Eugene. The people don't even think of them as an oddity. I talked to the owner of the bright yellow Gorilla Coffee Club and he said the huts have been around Eugene for 20 years or more. Dutch Bros. has a hold on the francise here, with FastLane Coffee in a far second place. Most of the huts are independent. (Roomies, could you park out of the driveway when I get home?)
