    Look for the red door
    Mar K.

    Had an hour before my morning meeting and wanted to start the day with eggs. I didn't have cooking facilities so looked up eggs in town and MGC came up. Loved that it was so close to the train station! The red door stood out in the morning sun; outdoor seating looked friendly. Sitting inside a raccoon that greeted us as well as a friendly purple painted morning glories climbing the walls. Pastry case was impressively packed with vegan pastries. The banana bread was outstanding. Ordered the 3 fingered jack (an omelette with green chiles) and I was told just about everything on the menu could be made vegan -- a promising treat for plant-based diet friends since the food was so well-made.

    Fast service even on busy weekends. Limited parking. Huge menu with many vegan options. Knowledgeable staff about dietary restrictions. Gorgeous painting in the bathrooms. The kids pancake was so cute and very tasty. The chilaquiles was not good and very dry. The biscuit and gravy were just okay. The cinnamon bun didn't feel fresh. The pancake won.

    I'm making a bad habit of NOT ordering the most flavorful thing on the menu which was those multigrain pancakes. Don't even need the blueberry sauce, syrup was enough with how good they tasted and i only had 2 bites. There was no wait when me and my friend came in around Sunday at 2pm. Found parking easily right across the st. Love that the waitress was honest and told me the oatmeal is really plain and healthy and to add some peanut butter and brown sugar to that. The eggs and potatoes were both also good. I'll be back for those pancakes next time i come to Oregon. Don't let the photos fool you lol

    A popular spot for locals and visitors alike, this breakfast cafe spot is small but mighty! Serving up pretty much everything except meat, come for a hearty breakfast or brunch/lunch. Everything from your basic eggs and toast to sweet and savory items and a full drink menu with lattes and teas. Organic and locally sourced ingredients. We visited 2x during our trip because it was just so good! Service is casual and quick. Very diner-style. Order, eat, and pay up at the front counter. No frills, easy in and out, and great food. We really enjoyed the Morning Medley, Backpacker's Pancakes, omelettes, and the Three Sisters (hash brown bowl). Egg yolks are so orange and bright, and everything is so fresh. Great spot!!!

    I am keto and they had nothing I could eat here, but they had this dill weed bread with real butter that was uhmazing! Sucks for me, but my tongue is thanking me. It's probably 30 feet from the Amtrak station and since the station doesn't have restrooms, get your meal here if you're getting ready to board the train.

    Great service. The staff were nice. We sat in the patio. I ordered little bear's vegan omelette and didn't like it as much as I wanted to. The vegetables inside the hash were bland. The tofu cream definitely was the star of the dish. The French toast was ok, but I like the freshness of the jam.

    Morning Glory Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Eugene. My parents & I have visited Eugene twice & both times we've had multiple meals here. It's the oldest vegetarian restaurant in town & extremely vegan-friendly. I find their breakfast/brunch items as good (if not better) than most similar options in Portland. I also appreciate their friendly service despite being extremely busy every time we've visited. I don't get to Eugene often but every time I do I'm coming to Morning Glory Cafe.

    Friendly service. Nice folks. I had pea soup, salad and dill bread with "butter". It was pretty good. The dressing I selected was peanut based and I love peanuts - never had a peanut dressing so it was good. The dill bread was crispy and warm on the outside and chewy on the inside- wonderful! I'm not a vegan or vegetarian so I was missing meat here. This would be a great place for vegans or vegetarians.

    In my opinion, there are two great places for brunch in town and this is one of them. It's often busy at all the predictable times and you will have to wait. There are a few tables outside that are nice when it's warm out, but expect to wait for any table on the weekends. My favorites are the happy morning sandwich and the chilaquiles. My husband's fav is the 3-fingered Jack omelette. Their specials can be fun but tend to be a little pricier than the rest of the menu. We had a special chocolate waffle recently that was fantastic. They have lots of great homemade bread choices to go along with your meal (vegan and gluten-free options) along with homemade pastries (which I always come home with at least one). Alongside my meal, I like to get a biscuit or dill roll. We also appreciate the squeeze bottle of raspberry jam (no tiny packets) and local hot sauce to go with our meal. I've been going here for over 15 years and I hope to continue to for a long time!

    Chilaquiles with eggs added plus green goddess salad.

    Delicious vegetarian breakfast with a solid drip coffee (medium roast, good flavor). Chill vibe.

    Bakery case!!
    Desi S.

    Is it worth the hype and wait for NON vegan/vegetarians??? Yes!!! I had a salad and loved it. Their peanut vinaigrette was amazing! I was surprised by their bakery case. They had so many choices. An added bonus is the dill roll. Next time I go I'll get some to go.

    Vegan breakfast? Yes please! Really tasty cafè near the Amtrak station. Got the Three sisters dish and my partner got the Pesto scramble. Incredible flavors and super satisfying and nourishing! Great coffee great service everyone was super kind and helpful. I wish there were more vegan options for breakfast but this is a great start! Loved the vegan sour cream. No notes. Hopefully I'll be back one day! Yum!!!!!

    Love this place so much. I'm annoyed at myself for not trying it sooner but it's now my go-to spot every time I'm in Eugene at breakfast time. The servers are awesome, the food (everything) is excellent, and their (NA) drink menu has some glorious hot and cold drinks on it. Can't wait to go back once again.

    I went here for lunch with a friend today. I've been wanting to go for a while and was finally able…read moreto go while they were open. I'm so glad we went because this place is wonderful! We got a table pretty much immediately. We sat outside, initially at a table right by the wall. We could smell the dumpster so it wasn't great, but once another table opened we were offered the option to move and we took it. The new table was much better - no smell and it was next to a heater so it was nice and cozy. The outdoor patio is pretty cute and the fresh air was nice! I have a soy allergy so I had to ask the waitress for an allergen list to make sure I would be okay. They were very nice and accommodating and told me what was and wasn't safe to eat. I ended up getting the focaccia with white bean paste, something I was skeptical of but really liked! The bread was super delicious and the bean paste was well-seasoned. The little slice of lemon it came with was a great topper for it all too. I would definitely get it again! I also got the sparkling lavender lemonade and it was so so good. It was perfectly balanced and I couldn't stop drinking it. The food was all pretty affordable which I appreciated. Lunch and drinks for two people was about $35. They don't do tipping here, they actually pay their employees a livable wage which is fantastic. They have a pay it forward program you can donate cash to instead, it goes towards breakfast for people in need. The employees seemed happy and were very friendly. They seemed to really enjoy working here which is always a good sign. I will definitely be back here. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. They are wholesome people doing important work and we should all be supporting them. Go here!

On a July visit from Seattle we drove across town to eat here specifically so our four-year-old, who has a dairy allergy, could enjoy a vegan restaurant where he could safely order anything on the menu. Instead, it became one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had. Staff was rude and arrogant. Especially a specific woman. I wonder if it was the owner because they didn't seem to have any concern at all about their bad behavior... Our son was folding the cardstock menu into what he said would be a card for his dad when a woman, not our server, walked over, took it out of his hands, and replaced it with a sheet of plain printer paper. No explanation. No conversation with us. Just took it and walked away. My son was crying so I went to her and asked if he could have it back, it was already wrinkled from folds, no use to them, but I was told it had been thrown in the trash and that he could have "as many pieces of paper as he wanted." My four-year-old would not stop crying, and begging me for his card for dada back. I assume they felt insulated by him playing with it but he's a child, and it's a piece of cardstock, not a noisy running around brat, not a broken dish, just a piece of cardstock, which they took to throw in the trash. No one acknowledged him, apologized, or showed even a hint of compassion. We left without eating because the atmosphere had become so uncomfortable.
