I've come here for many year in the new and old location. Great food consistently well prepared with generous portions. Great bakery goods and bread. They also do a great job year after year at their booth at the Oregon Country Fair. read more

My boyfriend and I went to New Day Bakery after church. We got lattes and cups of soup. The atmosphere is neat, different and very Eugene! The soup was definitely subpar and the lattes were nothing to write home about... but the service was good and the place is neat so I do think it's worth a try! read more

New Day Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

How does a bakery in the Whit not have any vegan options? No wonder I never hear anyone raving about this place like almost everywhere else in this neighborhood. I asked the server "do you have anything vegan?" He gives me a stoner shrug "nah we don't have anything, don't have anything gluten free either. People are always asking for it though". Take a hint. Some of us prefer our treats without torturing animals, some of us have dietary restrictions. And this neighborhood is known for adhering to such requests. Very disappointed in this place. read more

I had never been clapped at before I went to New Day. I'm not sure if you have but it was extremely humiliating to be treated like a dog. CARL, The gentleman (if i can say that) who clapped at me needs a big lesson in communication and customer service. This place is rude and and made me feel horrible. If you want to be treated like a dog or eat food that tastes like dog food, go here, ask for CARL. Maybe he can clap at you. read more

I live in the Whiteaker. New Day Bakery is a convenient breakfast spot & place to meet friends. I will admit that I have a special place in my belly for their food, but the service & quality are spotty at best. You never know what you'll get. . . I've eaten here at least 50 times or more. I don't expect the clerk to know me by name, but there are a couple things I do expect: If I order a slice of pizza (which has gone up in price twice in the past 6 months), and you tell me that it's going to take 20 minutes, then I expect it in 20 minutes (30 minutes, if it is swamped). If 45 minutes pass and I still don't have it, and I have to track a food runner down to ask where the pizza is, then something is wrong. If you bring out the slices after 55 minutes and they are doughy & undercooked, something is definitely wrong. It makes me wonder why the pizza took this long. But I'll leave my wonder for others to discover. read more

It's a really yummy breakfast spot although I wish the menu was a little bigger. Great breakfast burritos and pastries. There bakery is one of my favorites. Every time I get breakfast there I always bring home a loaf of the sourdough bread. I love it! read more

This cozy place is a Whiteaker neighborhood gem. I'm a big fan of the bakery, the soups, the burgers, Bill & his staff, but most importantly the pizza dough. There's no better in town, and you can even get it in select stores, like Market of Choice. The ambiance is perfect year-round. There's a piano anyone can tinker on. Please don't if you play poorly. Nobody likes crappy piano players. The place is surprisingly romantic in a hipster kind of way. They have great beer, local organic products, and it always smells good. New Day just simply makes me feel good! Oh, and Sam Bonds Garage is next door, so hop from one patio to another and enjoy yourself a scotch & rocks after you get your New Day fill....... read more

This is hands down my favorite place to eat. They have a ton of options in their menu and plenty of seating, both inside and out. The staff are friendly and the food is pretty fast. read more

I'm giving this 2 stars because I've had decent pizza here, but yesterday my husband and I both got very sick to our stomachs immediately after eating, it was either the home fries, the salsa or something in my husbands bean bowl ( I had a bite.) The food we ordered was very bland, my breakfast burrito was the worst I've ever had. read more

This place is bomb! It's amazing how yelpers look so deeply for a flaw. The owners take pride in their ingredients and it shows! Love this place! read more

We have been going to New Day since it was called World Cafe and it has traditionally been a great place to go, I like the atmosphere and quick service. However, lately I have been unimpressed. Today, I was served food with HAIR cooked into it; this is at least the SECOND time that has happened to me. I ordered sausage, which is rare for me, only because it is reportedly from Knee Deep Cattle company (a local farm). The sausage was not worth eating and I had everyone at my table taste it to make sure I wasn't crazy. It was so dry, I wondered if they had given me tempeh sausage on accident. Disappointing when choose carefully when to order meat and don't get it often. I'm getting close to avoiding New Day. It's too bad. read more

When I moved to Eugene in 1999 New Day was exceptional.I moved to the Blair area last summer. First visit.There was so much salsa on my food, I couldn't see it. Second visit, served another heaping plate of salsa.Third visit, I ordered a patty melt. This was served on a cold, untoasted bun and the home fries were like cold mashed potatoes.I will try one more time this afternoon.Would love to be able to eat at New Day and give them a nice review.Went for the last time today.Had a Mexican scramble. Eggs were OK.The cold, brown rice was not appreciated or eaten.The kidney beans on the plate were OK-seemed unusually bland.I'll be back for a fresh bagle.No more meals. read more

Arrived from out of town, super hungry. The California burger and "fries" (they're actually seasoned large cube hashbrowns) really hit the spot. The establishment is very clean and the employees are courteous. Grabbed a bag of pastries for breakfast too. It smells so good, they may not make it until morning. Great burger, great value. read more

Chocolate chip cookie was stale and chocolate brownie tasted like chocolate cake without chocolate flavour.

I've visited this restaurant several times over the last several years returning many times for breakfast, today I shouldn't have. This morning I was served cold omelet, cold bacon, cold rock hard toast. If I didn't have time constraint, I would have sent it back, I won't return. read more

It's more than a bakery: they also have an extensive breakfast/lunch menu and good espresso. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant, and sometimes they host live music on the outdoor patio. Added bonus: they offer public WiFi. I love this place, and I'm unsure why more Eugeneians don't come here. read more

I love this place. Cute and cozy. Love their breakfast. If you enjoy healthier diet with less oil, you'll probably like their breakfast. I love that their breakfast is not greasy. Studio 1 Cafe (greasy) used to be my favorite until I tried New Day! read more

Poor service, and low quality dinner for a high price. The gal had to ask us what we ordered 3 different times, my food was cold and had a hair in it, and my partner's pasta could have been made better at home. Very disappointing dinner experience! read more

My father told me a good indicator for any food dispensing place is how clean their bathroom is. This holds true at new day bakery. A faucet that barely works, a bar of soap, and a towel for your hands. Didn't seem sanitary at all. It was right in line with the poor decor and lack of hygiene that was seen of one of the cooks. The food was decent and moderately priced, but the architecture and seating arrangement was off putting, and the bathroom sealed it's fate for this review. Not impressed read more

Great spot for coffee, baked goods or a sit down breakfast with fresh ingredients at a reasonable price. The breakfast menu is impressively expansive and everything is extremely well prepared. Staff is nice and the space is large and includes an outdoor patio area for the warmer weather. Just a heads up though, a visit to New Day does not include table service, so keep that in mind if your next visit includes a hangover. read more

Their vegan chili is pretty good, same with their hibiscus lemonade. Don't get me started on their fresh baked bread---NOM! Would like to see more vegan options-- like a vegan pizza or calzone OR a vegan grille cheese. We need this! #veganproblems read more

Just ate here for the first time today. Had a tuna melt with a side salad it was good. The restaurant was a very Open and accessible space. As a wheelchair user that's really important to me, the only downside was it was hard for me to get my wheelchair completely under the table. read more

My go-to place in Eugene for a healthy, mellow and inexpensive lunch. They have a combo burrito made to order with a long list of fillings that is my favorite. Their menu is pretty wide ranging, and safe to bring folks with much different tastes(soups, pastas, sandwiches, burritos, pizzas...). Also, their desserts are delicious and super cheap(flan, cheesecakes, cakes, cupcakes, ...). I like this place! Their outdoor seating is nice too. read more

So good! We had an omelet, the Mexican scramble and home-fries (maybe a little too much food for two people!) and all of it was amazing. Such a nice atmosphere and a great breakfast. My omelet was very good as was the rest of the goodies, might have to grab a bear claw on the way out! read more

The cafe features simple food that most everyone can make at home. Go for the baked goods; they have a great variety and everything there is better than Sweet Life. Great open indoor atmosphere and big serene outdoor seating. Wash tub bands often play there. read more

I had a most excellent experience there today. I took my family for lunch. The tuna melt sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. My parents loved their turkey sandwhiches (they roast their own turkey). We had the almond cookies too - wow! They do a great job on simple foods! They do not re-invent the wheel, they just do a great job on the wheel. read more

I stopped by New Day Bakery in a hurry on a Sunday afternoon. My boyfriend and I needed a quick lunch and figured a sandwich would fill us up and be ready quickly. I've passed by this Bakery so many times but had no idea how huge it is on the inside! When you walk inside, the delicious and comforting smell of fresh baked pastries hits you right away. We were greeted by a friendly woman who said the five most wonderful words you can hear in a Bakery: we serve breakfast all day! I'm a breakfast fanatic and always looking for yummy egg-tastic dishes that don't end at 11am. Unfortunately I did not try the breakfast yet because of how much of a hurry we were in so we decided on two veggie sandwiches on sourdough. We grabbed a number (actually a flag of France instead of a number) and found a booth. Our sandwiches didn't come with sides so I asked for some of their carrot slaw. The sandwich itself would have been even better toasted and definitely ask for the carrot slaw ON the sandwich....yum! The cucumber was too thick and they sadly skimped on the avocado. The hummus tasted good but without that slaw I ordered it would have been a very dry and bland sandwich. A suggestion would be to spice up the veggies a little bit and make it something special. Maybe pickled onions or marinated tomatoes. Veggies deserve love too! It was almost like eating an undressed salad on some bread. I do appreciate the amount of veggies though. Next time I go in I will definitely be ordering one of their breakfast items and will update my review. They also have pizzas, pastries, burritos and fresh baked breads. read more

I came for a breakfast pastry and coffee. Their pastry case was surprisingly small for a place that advertises itself as a bakery, so I was a little skeptical. I got a blueberry scone and a house coffee. The scone was a little eggy and chewy, as well as pretty bland...I'm a (unprofessional) baker myself and I wasn't impressed. The coffee was fine, although I was surprised they didn't advertise better what kind of coffee it was, as Eugene has so many amazing coffee roasters. It's clearly more of a meal place than a coffee place, and I definitely fought for (limited) seating with the lunch crowd. All that said, I wasn't dissatisfied, and I'm glad I came to try it out. I'd come again for a meal but not to hang out. In my opinion, nice enough place, but not a standout. read more

My boyfriend decided to walk down the street to pick us up breakfast. He ordered two very over priced breakfast burritos. They put them on plates and handed them to him. He said "uhhh I asked for these to go". They told him they didn't have any type of bags or containers. So they through some wrap on the top and sent him on his way. He has to walk all the way home with paper plates and burritos. They should really consider thinking of some way to accommodate all types of orders. I live down the street and we would have love to make this place our regular spot. But it's just not worth the price or issues I have had. There cups dissolved while waking back home too. I'm all for being environmentally conscious, but it has to be practical too. Definitely won't be back. read more

I just went here for the first time. Excellent place. I had Mexican scramble for breakfast it was very good and very filling. The prices are reasonable, the vegetarian choices look great, and I can't wait to go back. Nice staff, too. read more

my food was pretty o.k., i wouldnt say spectacular~ the baked goods looked amazing, but i didnt get anything from that section. the menu is so extensive though, that it is possible i just didnt order the best things! will definitely try again. the booths and seating areas are super great, and its a nice place to hang out and do some computer work and chat with friends. read more

I ordered the omelette. I got black beans in it with some jack(cheese), mushrooms and avocado slices(on top). Paired with it was some delicious sourdough toast. SO GOOD. There's also a pretty sweet patio area out front to enjoy your meal in the sun if you wish. The girls were cute and the food wasn't too shabby either! Screams "Eugene". Loved it. read more

Boo... Have been there to buy bread before and it was pretty good. Decided to go there to order supreme burrito and a mushroom swiss burger. I have to say sadly neither had a taste and was very disappointing. read more

Love the NDB! Their food, menu, and service is great. I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years.

The food here a is alway consistently delicious. I love all the vegetarian options! The dog friendly patio is a beautiful place to eat lunch in the warmer months. read more

Nice place but they didn't seem to have much to offer. I did like the people and the seating. They also have little events there for people who are aspiring to learning how to live better, so that means a lot. read more

Huge disappointment. Even though there appears to be a huge menu, there really wasn't that much variety, and, for the heart of the Whitaker, it's very vegan-unfriendly. None of the desserts are vegan and even the whole wheat bread apparently had some non-vegan ingredient. The staff was at least very accommodating, announcing what wasn't vegan and letting me substitute, but I was dismayed at how limited my choices became. I had the grilled tempeh sandwich which was ok, but pretty dry, bland, and nothing you couldn't quickly make at home. However, it still took them over an hour (!) to bring it out. Granted, I had come with a large group, but we were nearly the only ones in the restaurant and people's food came out one-by-one, so it really should have been faster. Maybe non-vegan foods are more flavorful, but I definitely would not recommend to vegans. The bathroom is also a little gross. They have a big table of cheap day-old pastries, which is a nice bargain but it seems like they're not well-organized to always have so many leftovers. read more

Very cool little joint with wood table and a chalk board menu. Double cappuccino is very good. Ordered the fish tacos and kids ordered the pizza. Pizza took a long time to come out. Finished my fish tacos before the pizza came. read more

This family business is as good a bakery as bakeries can be! Over our 8 months in Eugene, this is our top discovery. The garden terrace is wonderful (can't wait for Spring). The breads & croissants are great, but the petits pains au chocolate and challah bread are divine. Even our Jewish friends in Portland rave about it. As time goes by, we will try their meal items and post further. read more

Extraordinarily rude service. Somehow you feel as though you have to impress them. Very hateful people, crouching behind a thin friendly veneer. read more
