    I love Meraki! I make it a point to visit every time this place every time I'm in Eugene! Their coffee quality is amazing, and their seasonal latte concoctions are always something I look forward to trying! I'm a big fan of their avocado toast as well :) Meraki is always clean, well-lit, and cozy! It's amazing also that they've recently expanded to include more seating; the lack thereof was always a point of frustration with me. All the workers are always kind, cheerful, and efficient. They care about the craft and that's what makes this place so great!

    Pecan Pie latte with oatmilk and avocado toast
    Fuey S.

    It was good and I am definitely making my way there every time I am back in Eugene. My friend has been eyeing this place and she finally got us to go! I love trying seasonal drinks so I got a pecan pie latte with oatmilk and an avocado toast. That pecan pie latte ($6 for 12 oz) had no business tasting so good-- it had the perfect amount of sweetness and pecan flavor! I love it when I can see remnants of nuts in my drink--it just feels more real. For the toast ($9.25) my only regret is not asking for an egg on it. Sourdough had a nice crunch and avocado was well flavored. Went on a Saturday around 10:30a and there was no line. It was pretty full inside but I had no issues finding seating for 4 of us. Staff are friendly and memorize their customers to deliver food and drinks. It's a pretty cool skill, but I was almost given someone's americano on accident.

    Wow. Impeccable customer service. I had the yogurt parfait(amazing) and a Capp. Might be one of the best I've had in a while. Wish this place was where I loved I would frequent often!

    You heard it here first: Meraki is the best coffee shop in Eugene, OR. Fantastic coffee, friendly staff, and plenty of spacious seating--perfect for a casual cup or a study session. The room is bright, inviting, and full of good vibes. Street parking is available, which is always a plus. This place is a hit. Thank me later.

    Iced Matcha, Cold Brew and Avocado Toast with Lox
    Stacey I.

    What a cute coffee shop to stop by! I feel like major plant lovers would love the aesthetic of this place with all the plants and light airy nature aesthetics at Meraki. *What we ordered: Cold Brew Iced Matcha Latte Avocado Smear w/ Lox Toast FOOD: 10/10 DRINKS: 8/10 The avocado smear with Lox Toast was e v e r y t h i n g. The perfect ratio of smashed avocado, perfectly smoked and flavorful pieces of Lox salmon, and even dash of everything bagel seasoning and chili flakes, on a perfectly toasted sourdough bread. One of the best toasts I've had. So simple, yet so good. The drinks were decent! Nothing horrible, but nothing memorable as well. The Matcha I ordered was very light and I appreciate that I could taste the matcha and was not over powered with syrup. I think it tasted more like culinary grade matcha, I could be very wrong. I can't speak for the cold brew as my partner chose that drink but he didn't have any complaints either. SERVICE: 9/10 Staff were chill and I also appreciated the staff member who helped us at the register. She gave suggestions to different types to Avocado toast options they have as I thought there was just 1 and I always appreciate those types of disclaimers rather than just giving us whatever. Service was quick as well considering there was a line and a lot of people. I like how they bring your order to you even when you order to go. AMBIANCE: 10/10 With no doubt, major 10/10 vibes. The plants, the natural lighting, the pretty paintings on the wall, the open door concept, their items for purchase are very cute, their menu is simple and easy to understand, ample amount of seating inside and outside whether you're vibe of the day is on a group table, solo table, couch, outside, etc. Parking isn't bad! There are a lot of parking lots everywhere near this cafe.

    Yeah. It's breve time.

    Yogurt parfait, avocado toast, matcha and Spanish latte
    Jalpa G.

    Im not the biggest coffee fan but I tried the Spanish latte and it was so good!! The yogurt parfait was filling and a big portion. Fruit so sweet and fresh. My friend loves their matcha and their avocado toast which comes on a nice thick slice of bread. Parking was hard to find since it's in the busy areas of Eugene. Ambiance was calming and a great place to do some work at.

    Quaint little coffee shop that you would expect to find in a place like Eugene... Specializing in coffees, teas, beers, and such. A lot of foot traffic. They do a good business..

    Joan L.

    Very cute coffee shop with plenty of outdoor seating. Pet friendly, I had the Lox Toast and a cortado. Flavour was okay nothing special, missing lemon and cappers IMO. Very busy and wait time so come early. Perfect place to catch up with friends and yap.

    Aesthetic indoor setting in Downtown Eugene! Lovely staff and consistently good coffee. Love to study there or just have a chat.

    What a fun family night. I love that they allow all ages to come to drag bingo at 5pm on…read moreSaturdays. There were so many families enjoying time together. Some of the other reviews were negative on their food...but our food was fantastic. The burgers were moist and not greasy. The waffle cut fries were hot and crispy. The bartenders work non stop to get your drinks and food out quickly. My daughter loved the churro style donuts (but they are messy). The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start. They just changed the rules and you do have to pay $1.00 per person to play bingo...but where else can you get that type of entertainment for a dollar. We can't wait to return.

    While my first visit was unsatisfactory due to unfriendly staff and an overall sense of feeling…read moreunwelcome, I thought I would attempt a second visit. At one point, the bartender disappeared for approximately fifteen minutes, leaving several patrons waiting without acknowledgment. When she finally returned, she casually mentioned she had been on a personal phone call. A second woman then stepped behind the bar, immediately clarifying that she was not, in fact, a bartender. When I expressed concern about the extended absence and lack of service--something I would consider standard feedback in any hospitality setting--I was abruptly told I was "speaking badly" about the staff and was asked to leave. This kind of defensiveness and disregard for patrons is deeply unprofessional, especially for an establishment that positions itself within a community where communication, accountability, and mutual respect are paramount. Eugene has a growing nightlife and alternative culture scene, and many people--locals and visitors alike--expect spaces that uphold those values. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend The Serpent & the Sparrow. There are other venues in town that offer a far more welcoming environment, competent service, and a genuine respect for their patrons.

    There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.

    Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

In addition to American breakfast classics they offer Mexican-inspired dishes such as Huevos Rancheros and Chilaquiles. Our server came by and welcomed us and took our drink orders. In addition to the natural offerings of coffee and assorted juices they offer specialty coffees ranging from a standard iced coffee to white mochas, cappuccinos, dirty chai tea latte's and Mexican mochas.

Our table ordered items including the Linguica Scramble, Pancakes, and Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. The restaurant had a good steady stream of customers but they appeared to be able to handle the amount of people and we didn't notice anyone wait more than a couple of minutes to be seated. We also observed a good amount of to-go/Door Dash traffic. Our orders arrived in a timely manner and looked delicious.

On our first morning in our new town, we went to The Original Pancake House for breakfast. It was a simple meal, but one we were grateful we could afford.

The Original Pancake House in Eugene is a charming, family-friendly spot with genuine warmth and stellar coffee. The casual, lively vibe makes it feel like the proper brunch destination you'd hope for from a legendary breakfast joint. We ordered their hero dish--a side of buttermilk pancakes--and the Irish Omelette. The pancakes delivered real flavor: fluffy, tender, with classic buttermilk tang. My only critique? They arrived cool, likely from sitting in the warmth window a bit too long. Off the griddle, these would shine. The Irish Omelette was more disappointing. Designed to be airy and light with corned beef and potatoes inside, ours was overcooked and rubbery--far from the delightful, pillowy texture it should be. For a restaurant with this history, execution should be consistent. The coffee and service were warm and attentive, which goes a long way. 3/5 stars. Worth visiting for atmosphere, especially if your pancakes arrive hot. Try during slower service to avoid the window-sit fate. The Portland location executes at a higher level.
