This is still the best breakfast place in Eugene... there's no denying it. It's vegetarian, and that's not for everyone. But it's just right for me. Parking is really the only challenge about this place. The pastry case offers a beautiful display of options. The menu is loaded with incredible choices with excellent flavor combinations. And the setting is just right in terms of being cozy and agreeable for a comfy social interaction. I really love the location in downtown Eugene and enjoy the nostalgia of this long-standing brunch establishment. You'll come for the wholesome food and be delighted by the friendly service and uplifting atmosphere. read more

I first came here on a layover last year and enjoyed it so much that I made this my breakfast spot in Eugene. Finally a layover showed up almost a year later and I had my itinerary planned out which included Morning Glory. I didn't review this spot last time but I should have. This visit was disappointing because it has fallen in standard. Others may disagree with me but traveling, dining out and food reviews come with the territory of my job. I walked in solo at 9am and I expected it to be busy so let us accept that. However, I saw 2-3 empty tables including two spots at window by the counter so I was wondering why it was taking so long to be seated. By the time I was seated it was 9:25ish. The young lady with the tattoos and pink hat was kind enough to attend to me and take my order. The food (pesto omelette) arrived at 9:55am so almost 30 minutes later. Like come on guys, really? On top of it I had to keep looking at my watch because I had to get ready for work. On two occasions I almost decided to pay and walk out before the food arrived and you have to drive my last nerve for that to happen. The egg itself tasted decent albeit the size soysage patties were a little dry. The orange juice was awesome so no faults there. I'm just annoyed because I had to wolf everything down in minutes to get back to the hotel rather than enjoy it because it took so long for the food to come out. My gripe is that service took forever and I was watching the servers multi task and be stretched thin. I won't fault their effort because they were doing their best. Oh and not once did some ask "do you need anything?" or "how is the food?"; I worked in the service industry for 12 years so I can easily see a lack of it. The other issue is that you have to eat then pay and there's only one register so the lines just seemed never ending between people trying to get a table to people placing takeout orders to people wanting to pay. Pesto omelette, side of soysage patties, orange juice and latte came to $40 with the tip so it's not exactly what I call cheap and when I am forking out upwards of $30 I expect some level of service. Would I return? I'm in two minds about it because I will probably look for another spot for my next layover. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

Unfortunately the tofu scramble was unimpressive. Coffee and service was fine. It was very cold inside, colder than outside and it was 57F outside! Another customer complained and the server said that the cold made it more comfortable for the staff! I would not go back. read more

The biscuits and mushroom gravy is a solid breakfast. it's all fresh ,healthy always a solid option

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. read more

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. read more

Morning Glory Café - Chilaquiles with eggs added plus green goddess salad. - Vegetarian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

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. read more

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! read more

s it had good reviews, but I didn't pay close attention to the type of food served. Turns out it is a vegetarian/vegan place which I usually avoid actually as I am a big carnivore and like my meat. Plus I was even on a keto diet and really needed a low carb meal. It was nice that not only did they allow me to substitute the potatoes and bread on the entree with salad (without additional charge), but they gave me a heaping mound of salad instead of the usual loose fluff of a bit of salad at most brunch places here in SF (when they have salad as part of a main dish). The salad itself was more interesting and nutritious than the usual, it had finely chopped veggies of all sorts, not just plain boring lettuce, and the dressings offered were all creative concoctions (I tried the cilantro tahini one which was tasty). The vegan omelet I got was seriously tastier than most of the regular omelets I have had. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We sat outside and were able to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. Overall a way better experience and food than many of the brunch places I've been to, I highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Morning Glory Café - Bakery case!! - Vegetarian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This place is horrifying - I arrived starving, ready for a big breakfast, and what do see on the menu? Rabbit food! No meat is a monstrosity, if someone is vegetarian, they can make that choice and you can accommodate that, but to impose your vegetarian agenda on everyone is evil. Please reconsider your business model. Thank you. read more

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!!!!! read more

Went there with family on Thanksgiving weekend Sunday while driving to Seattle. It was a delightful morning with friendly staff, cozy ambience, and cute and interesting paintings. Let's talk food: interesting menu and healthy options. We enjoyed all that we ordered - tomato roasted garlic soup, enchilada, sandwich, omelette and the bakery picks (vegan poppy seed orange scone). The restrooms could have been cleaner, but the mural on the hallway wall compensated for it in my opinion. Overall a must if you are driving by and want to get a local vibe. read more

I love a place that's not only vegan friendly but also gluten friendly. Especially when the staff asks your preferences! I had the spicy peanut noodles "salad" I loved that it was served cold but definitely thought more spice was needed. I also understand this is Eugene Oregon and it may be spicy to some people. Service was super fast too. I also may sound weird for saying this but their gluten free toast with vegan butter was absolutely my favorite. Cute cozy dinner that serves breakfast and lunch. I can't wait to come back. read more

An excellent place to have a hearty breakfast. There is a diverse menu of omelets and scrambles with several vegetarian options. There are also some nice gluten free baked goods to sample. Good coffee menu as well. The environment is bright. There is outdoor seating available. The serving staff were attentive and pleasant. read more

Super nice staff! Their health conscious menu of vegan and vegetarian food is fresh and portions are generous. My only complaint was the lack of seasoning. But, they have sauces on the table you can add to your liking. They also have a delicious jam available, too. Check out the bakery goods in the lobby then grab a seat and enjoy the friendly hospitality and good for you food! read more

Wow what a great place! The food is delicious, the people are great, and the cafe is so cute with outdoor and indoor seating. We were on a road trip from Seattle to SF and stopped here for breakfast. Plenty of street parking (pay at a meter) and open tables. Everything is vegetarian with lots of vegan by default dishes or substitutions. Bottomless coffee! With dairy and non-dairy cream available. Also every time you order toast they ask if you want vegan or dairy butter. Love that! It's so hard to decide what to get because everything looks amazing, and they have a fully stoked pastry case (we got some scones and chocolate croissant to go). A bunch of us ordered the vegan omelet bc we were curious, it's a ton of veggies wrapped in a crispy potato shell topped with a vegan tofu-based herbed sour cream. And comes with toast! There's jelly and hot sauce available nearby. A lot of dishes are available as half portions if you want to try multiple things. And breakfast is served all day! The best. Would recommend if you're driving through Eugene or visiting for a while or even live there! I'd enjoy going back. Update - the lemon strawberry scone I got to go is SO SO good. Perfect amount of tartness you can taste in delicious lemon frosting. You wouldn't know it was vegan. read more

amazzzing!! definitely worth the wait for this cafe! this is a quaint spot but has great outdoor seating for the warmer months. the walls are decorated with local art, which is so fun. service was fairly quick even on a busy sunday morning. all the servers were very friendly!! this entire restaurant is vegetarian, and even though none of my group is, we loved our meals. Pumpkin Waffle Special- very subtle pumpkin taste, but the toppings were wonderful. For a vegan waffle, it wasn't dry at all! 3-Fingered Jack Omelette- yum! especially with the vegan sour cream The Fusion- great curry flavor, and loved the potato wrap Claire Bear's Bomblette- I think it could've been a bit more garlicky, but again the potato wrap is delicious great spot in Eugene! read more

First time in Eugene and we wanted to check out this breakfast place. There was a line outside which is typically a good sign. We put our names down and waited outside for about 20 minutes. You seat yourself and we sat at a booth. The inside is decorated with local artwork and interesting decor. The wait staff was all very nice and we go to our food pretty quick, My special burrito came with soy sausage and was pretty good. The fritter was the star of the show. I recommend this spot if you are in Eugene and need a good breakfast. read more

A decent find for anyone seeking a healthy or vegan friendly breakfast. The service is top notch, though the indoor space is quite small. The vibe is very eclectic perhaps a bit much for my personal taste but the food variety makes it worth a visit if you want to try something new read more

We met a friend for Sunday brunch. We had no preference on seating thus were sat within 15 minutes despite how busy it was. The service was above average as was the food. For vegan fare, the flavor doesn't have to be lacking which those behind the dishes at Morning Glory Cafe seem to understand. It was delicious! The restaurant is smaller and popular, thus plan to be in close quarters with others. read more

Good food with a health focus. Service could be a bit more attentive. Reasonably priced. Cute cafe.

On our last day in Oregon, we decided to grab breakfast at Morning Glory Café since it was fairly close to the airport and a few members of our party were vegans. We loved that the restaurant accommodate to our dietary restrictions and they were nice to let us switch seats a couple of times (inside - too cold, first outside seat - too hot, and the last seat - just right!). I ordered the claire bear's bomblette, golden milk chai, and the fresh squeezed orange juice. Meanwhile, my husband ordered the 3 fingered jack with the biscuit. Everything that I ate and drank was delicious especially the fresh squeezed orange juice. My in laws ordered the sandwich which was very big and perfect for two. We also ordered a cinnamon roll for dessert. We will definitely come back when we are in the area next year. read more

I first lived in Eugene in 2003 and lived in Eugene numerous times since then last in 2014 to 2015. I am now in SF yet Morning Glory was and still is the spot for vegan/vegetarian brunch in Eugene. Amazing food and friendly/efficient service. Expect a line at times yet everything here is amazing from the savory and sweet. During a recent week stay in Eugene I ate here twice and nearly thrice aka three times yet was a long line the last time was here so opted to go elsewhere due to a lack of time. I love the food here and vibe here. This most recent visit went with a triple lucky noodles aka savory healthy and tasty noodle dish and the cajun tempeh. Both were awesome. Recommended to check out this spot in Eugene or anywhere near it for that matter. read more

We stumbled upon this place after a quick yelp search and we were so happy we did! We didn't realize it is a vegetarian/vegan establishment. But don't let that stop you if you are a meat lover. They have both vegan and dairy butter options. We opted for the June specials and I loved my eggs with zucchini and chard so much...I have been making it at home the last couple days. The potatoes were a huge hit with the perfect crisp. The place is cute and cozy and we did have a short wait...but it was a Sunday morning. The staff is super friendly and attentive. We only saw pay parking...but there maybe hidden free parking somewhere. It is located by the Amtrak station and the new Old Spaghetti Factory. read more
