Things To Do
Shop and Stroll Downtown Corvallis
Some of our favorite places to window shop are Restyle, Inkwell, Guardian Games, Burlap and Lace, Second Glance consignment, and The Book Bin.
Take a Walk Through Oregon State University
Explore the beauty of our alma mater! Some of the prettiest buildings are weatherford hall, the memorial union, the women’s building, waldo hall, and furman hall. Grab a Dutch Bros beverage for your walk for the most authentic collegiate experience.
Marys Peak View Point
Mary’s Peak Trail is a 5.7 mile out and back trail near Philomath, Oregon. It’s moderately challenging and has breathtaking panoramic views of the valley. Make sure you park at the bottom to enjoy the hike, or drive all the way up to the top to enjoy the beautiful views without the sweat. This is Hannah’s favorite hike near Corvallis, and is worth doing if have the extra time (and energy)!
Treebeerd's Taphouse
Patrick’s favorite tap house in Corvallis is a local gem. This is a great spot to try some PNW brews in a laid-back environment. Outside food is welcome and happy hour is on weekdays from 4-6.
Common Fields
This is a great place for a group if the weather is nice. It’s a combination tap house and food cart pod that came to Corvallis towards the end of our time living there, and it became a fast favorite. Hannah’s favorite food truck is Pupuseria del valle. This spot has board games you can borrow, cornhole, an eclectic hot sauce collection, and good vibes.
Bodhi Cafe / Bakery
A top-tier cafe and breakfast spot nestled into downtown Corvallis. Don’t skip their morning buns, monster cookies, or espresso drinks!
TacoVino
This is, by far, our favorite restaurant in Corvallis. We have celebrated as many birthdays, passed exams, and game days as possible at this restaurant. While we will be having our after party here and be able to share some margaritas together, if you have the time, you simply MUST dine here! Our favorites are the DIY guac, and the Peking duck and Korean beef short rib tacos.
Castor
For a more upscale dining experience, we believe Castor is the best place to go! Their food is seasonal, delicious, and southern-inspired. They have a smaller space, so we’d recommend getting a reservation if you plan on dining in.
