    Came here randomly, didn’t know it was a vegetarian cafe. I thought since that was their specialty it would be good. I got the Claire Bear’s bomblette. It has sweet potatoes, eggs, kale, and some other stuff. It wasn’t hot at all when it came, I still kind of enjoyed it, but it would’ve been 10x better if it was served hot. I also found an egg shell in it towards the end of my meal. I also got a white mocha, and I couldn’t taste any sweetness at all, the coffee was bitter in my opinion, espresso wasn’t a good shot. Been a barista at multiple coffee shops and I feel like I can say that I know good coffee. Overall, it was just a bit underwhelming for having specialized vegetarian dishes being so mid. I think I really had to bump the stars for the coffee and the food being luke warm. And the butter was hard as a rock so I couldn’t spread it on my toast lol ended up just using the jam instead. No hate, just feedback. Servers were nice and food definitely has potential. Lots of great options.

    This is my favorite breakfast cafe in Eugene. Great selection of teas and coffees, fresh baked goods and food made to order. A lot of nice vegetarian and vegan options. The cafe is really cozy, and staff is always friendly. I've been in for pastries and tea several times, and always highly recommend this Cafe to friends of mine and people visiting from out of town.

    Food was amazing. Service was a little slow but they were busy and we weren't in a hurry. Definitely will go again.

    This is a classic quirky Eugene Cafe. The food is healthy with many veggie and vegan options. The servers are delightful and full of recommendations on the best dishes. There is local art hanging on the walls for sale. I had the three finger jack omelet with while wheat sour dough toast. It was great.

    I love this place!! The sweetest little café/bakery!! This was the first place I saw/ate at when moving to Eugene, their vegan cinnamon rolls are the best!! Their waffles are perfectly crispy, not super fluffy, but they taste amazing:) The service is amazing, everyone who works here is so kind and helpful, I loved coming here as a special little treat. Perfect autumn/summer atmosphere.

    Fairly boring, dated food. 20-30 years ago this would be about all Vegans could find but nowadays there are so many better options. The place needs to update their menu and rethink their concept. I had their vegan omelette which was literally a thin disc of hashbrowns around a center of steamed chopped broccoli, carrots, and onions. The only thing it shared with an omelette is the shape. It was exactly as bland as it sounds. The staff are wonderfully friendly, and the atmosphere is decent. Just need to do a completely overhaul of the menu.

    I love this place. Whenever we plan a brunch/lunch date, we always end up at Morning Glory. Our go-tos are the Triple Lucky Noodles and the Happy Morning Sandwich. The vegan french toast and Three Sisters are also delicious!

    I got the Claire Bear's Bomblette Roasted yams, kale & roasted garlic scrambled with two eggs inside of our shredded potato shell. Served with one of the most amazing biscuits I’ve ever had in my life!! I sat by the window and watched all the happy faces leave and enter, the atmosphere was incredible to the super kind servers and brilliant music they had playing. I can’t wait to return to Eugene SPECIFICALLY for this place. Even the owner was super kind after I tried to shake the hand of whoever made the other worldly biscuits.

    Great affordable, healthy, and nutritious food. Everything is vegetarian. Many items are gluten-free. My husband and I really like the three sisters. If you have a craving for sweet, the monthly special gluten free French toast with apple nut topping.

    Great breakfast and tons of vegan choices. The coffee and fresh squeezed oj were awesome. This is my Eugene resident daughter's favorite breakfast spot. Stop by and enjoy!

    Great food that tastes "home cooked". Lots of vegan options. However, it's disappointing to see a $1 surcharge for alternative milks. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Eugene!

    What a gem! This delightful cafe is next to the bus/train depot and features healthy food. Veggie and vegan options are featured, and there are even baked goods. I had the three finger jack omlete with whole wheat sourdough toast. My friend had the three sisters with biscuit. Both were delicious and had ample serving sizes. I have to give a shout-out to the serving staff as well. They were beautiful souls in the Eugene vibration, smiling and sharing their love of life with every interaction, not hovering but always available if more water or coffee was needed. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat or a pastry. Be forewarned, this is a very popular spot, and you may be in for a wait before being seated unless you go during the off times. Enjoy!

    Breakfast- early on Sunday and were immediately seated with fresh coffee on the table in minutes. Tasty and innovative dishes with an explosion of flavors. My wife had the pesto omelette which was nice and flavorful (I stole a bite). I had the chilaquiles with the egg and cheese substitution. This was flavorful with a nice fresh pico de gallo. The servers were cheerful and attentive and the excellent coffee kept coming. Rarely mentioned but the table side condiments (salsa and jam) were fresh and delicious. This just became our new go to in Eugene.

    By far the best breakfast place in Eugene. Anytime I visit Eugene, this place has been my go to place almost every day. The choice of breakfast is great, fresh juices, great coffee and tea. The portions are generous and you are so full if you end up eating everything, else you can have it for lunch. A must try for anyone who hasn’t yet.

    I'm not a big brunch person but I would come here weekly if I lived in the area. The pesto omelette was maybe the best one I've ever had. The biscuit was a bit dry but nothing some of their delicious jam couldn't help. The salsas were also great! And the staff was wonderful. Attentive and helpful. Thank you MG!!

    Very happy with my experience. It's a Saturday so we paid for parking. Nice sidewalk seat and they allowed our pup. Waitstaff very friendly and helpful. Never had to ask for coffee refills, they were on top of it. Only waited about 10-15 min as informed. My beatie has celiac and they substituted things so he could have the special and she was very impressed. My waffle was delish and the noodles were vegetable rich. Mornings like this are what positive vibes are about. We're not vegetarians, but we're satisfied with all the tasty option available on the menu. Will definitely return

    Love the creative menu and the absolutely delicious food. I had the special poblano breakfast enchilada - wow. My husband had an amazing scramble. Not pictured is the ridiculously yummy cinnamon roll. We also appreciated the attentive service and being able to sit outside even on a chilly morning.

    Delicious huge vegan waffles. Omelette lovers will be happy too. Well worth the wait for a table. The bakery items looked so amazing too. Super friendly service even when it was busy.

    A while back my family and I ate at Morning Glory. We'd been wanting to go but seemed something always came up or we'd forget. We finally went and it was delicious! The service could've been better, seemed our server had other things going on but the food made up for it in my opinion. I had the Savory Pesto Omelette which has crumbled soysage, spinach, mushrooms & cheddar in a pesto omelette shell. Served with herbed glory potatoes & your choice of toast. Great option for this with sensitivities, or just even to try something new. Quality ingredients, highly recommend 👌

    Had a wonderful experience here and highly recommend for vegans/vegetarians. The food is super good, cheap, and there are large portions! They also have vegan replacements for almost everything. The employees are nice and friendly. They forgot to bring apple juice to my table, so they gave it to me to go for free which was super sweet.

  • 5/5 Peter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was really impressed by the portion sizes and price. The food was excellent, well worth the stop. Coffee was not the best, but good for within America

  • 5/5 Matt E. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful to-go vegan baked goods and delicious sit-down vegetarian and vegan homestyle breakfast and brunch options. We shared a vegan cinnamon roll, a hearty omelette, challah bread french toast with strawberry sauce and maple syrup, and Little Bear's Vegan Omelette- veggies in a shredded potato shell with an herbed-tofu sour cream and a biscuit w/ vegan butter. All was amazing, save for slightly less fresh tasting veggies, and drip coffee that was more diner than delicious. I'd recommend a hand crafted beverage instead. Service was fantastic, everyone seemed happy to be there. Decor was adorable.

  • 5/5 Greta W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cafe with great food! Their breakfast is awesome, there are plenty of options for all. I tried the Chai Waffles from the seasonal menu, they made good leftovers too!

  • 5/5 Betsy A. 5 months ago on Google
    Small little nook but AMAZING food! I got the seasonal pumpkin waffles and they were to die for. The Sunny Bear drink was also delicious. Highly recommend. The vegan soy-sage patties left a little to be desired in the texture department (very crumbly) but still very tasty.

  • 5/5 Sabra R. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. All the vegan options are amazing. Biscuits and gravy are killer. We always get the vegan breakfast sandwich, so delicious. So recommend!

  • 5/5 Robert H. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyable breakfast and so so tasty. 100% Vegetarian fare. Loved the breakfast scramble. Be prepared to wait at times because the cafe' is so popular. Will be back again.

  • 5/5 Rutuja M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for healthy and vegetarian food options. I would recommend go and check the monthly menu instead of deciding before hand 😜 The momthly menu is interesting

  • 5/5 Charlie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding food, quick service tons of vegetarian and vegan options, this is a wonderful little cafe.

  • 5/5 Denise S. 10 months ago on Google
    Fun place with many vegan options. We enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, the vegetables and the Mexican tofu plate.

  • 5/5 Marvy S. 1 year ago on Google
    A great restaurant for vegetarians or vegans. We had lunch here and I had the Cajun tempeh sandwich and the soup of the day, another spicy one which was quite good. I was quite impressed at how delicious it was! We ordered the pancake as a shared dessert, but that one, I thought was a little on the dry side. But for the price, I think it’s a very good, casual dining and budget friendly restaurant.
