    Half french toast and 3-pancake meal
    Delaney O.

    Studio One Cafe is great! Was looking for a quick brunch fix and this place hit the spot. Good prices, good quality food and our server was great. Will be coming back my next time in town!

    Chilaquiles Tortillas
    Emma W.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! Albeit a little pricey, it is certainly worth it (or it was for what I ordered). The coffee is delicious, everyone is friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly. The inside is very nice although we sat outside. The menu is quite long but very versatile and definitely worth coming back for more. The portions are generous and my only gripe with the Chilaquiles is the salsa is a little overpowering and the chicken could have better flavor, but it was delicious nonetheless and the home fries especially were so good. Awesome, cute & charming.

    Menu - The menu features beverages including coffee, tea, and juice options, along with specialty tea blends and alcoholic drinks, with prices listed.

    Easy brunch spot by campus - seems like it gets busy especially on game days. We got in line about 15 minutes before it opened and were able to get in with the first wave of customers. They have seating inside and outside (outside is covered). Service was quick and friendly; I got the Chilaquiles Tortillas + sourdough which was filling but nothing special. Good option to be full for a long game day! There is some street parking but I recommend walking/ubering if possible!

    Came for brunch after hiking Spencer Butte. Don't let the exterior of this diner from deterring you from eating amazing food. Portion sizes were generous with my breakfast burrito. For desert, we had their famous French toast with three different sauces. Just wow! A meal here can last you the entire day!

    Zorra  Zorba the Greek was a great healthy scramble. I chose wheat bread and the home fries. - A breakfast plate featuring roasted potatoes, two slices of toasted bread, and a vegetable scramble with olives, served on a white plate.

    Really attentive staff, I thought they were going to have no seating but there are quite a few spots to sit at when the weather is good. We sat in the covered area with dogs and they brought us a water bowl. Food came out perfect temperature and the mimosas were delicious. Highly recommend!

    Years ago we really liked this place. I honestly do not remember what I had that I liked here. We showed up on a weekend, expecting the place to be packed. Thankfully we were able to get seated right away, and the service was great. I had a hard time trying to decide on what to order. Lately nothing sounds good to me due to having lingering long haul covid. That has taken away my taste for some of my favorite food such as breakfast items. Bacon, and eggs. I ended up ordering their famous berry French toast, and a side of ham. The ham was like lunch meat, and I was really not that impressed with the berry French toast. I had my guy try it, to see if it was just me, or if it was my crazy off taste at the moment. He usually is not picky. While he said that they tasted fine, he said they were not the best. He said he wouldn't want to come back for them. The one thing I can say was a favorite was the coffee. I didn't order it, but he did. Cafe Mam. Can't say I will be back soon. May try for lunch. But won't be in the near future.

    People's choice omelette

    My wife wanted to take our son and daughter-in-law to breakfast while we were visiting. She found Studio One which was very close and convenient to the Airbnb we were staying at and found they serve breakfast all day. Since it was a Saturday morning she called to inquire about the wait time and was told they had a couple of large tables open. We arrived shortly before 10:30am and found street parking just down the block. The cafe is located in the heart of Eugene near the University of Oregon. We walked up and could see immediately they have covered patio seating. We walked to the counter inside and were directed to a larger table on the covered patio. They also have indoor seating as well. We were given menus and our drink orders were taken. As we perused the menu, our drinks arrived and we made our selections. Two of us chose the breakfast burrito. I have been craving a breakfast burrito since I seldom find them on the menu in North Carolina. My wife decided on the People's Choice Omelet and our daughter-in-law ordered the Field of Dreams benedict. She had never tried a benedict before and was anxious to experience it. Our meals arrived very quickly and looked amazing. We each really enjoyed our meals and everything was really tasty! We enjoyed our experience and recommend Studio One to others. As many small businesses in the University area the seating is limited and the wait times may be dramatically different when the University is in session.

    French toast sandwich
    Lauren W.

    Studio One Cafe is perfect when visiting the university of Oregon. The dining area was crowded but we were able to be seated immediately which was nice. So many menu options sounded delicious but I had to try the French toast sandwich. Get this if you love sweet and savory. The eggs and cheese mixed with the sweetness of the French toast and maple syrup were to die for. Also they have a number of loose leaf teas which were delicious! It's so uncommon to find a loose leaf tea, let alone one that is delicious and unique! I look forward to coming back here!

    I try to hit this place every time I'm in Eugene. They seat you immediately, even if they seem to be too busy, and the food comes out quickly. I love that they have many mimosas to choose from. Another thing I really like about this place is the à la cart menu has quite a few choices for smaller appetites.

    Biscuits w Housemade Pork Chile Verde, home fries
    Jason C.

    Small, tight spot that provides a bit of indoor and outdoor dining. The service was prompt and courteous, the host was loud and gregarious. We had a few different plates at the table and all were just kinda so-so. I thought an outside the box take on biscuits and gravy was a good call. The Chile verde option on biscuits & gravy fell short on appearance and lack of pork and now I know why the server had never had it before. (Lesson learned, lol). It's wasn't bad, but it's not something I would ever order again. The other typical breakfast plates at our table looked standard and our group agreed everything was just kinda meh-good... and that's ok!

    Ask the Community - Studio One Cafe

    Are reservations recommended or needed for a Saturday morning?

    They don't take reservations. It is near the campus, so it gets busier around 10:30-11:00am. Go earlier if you can.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes! Lots! They offer gluten free bread for sandwiches and French toast! They have GF buns for burgers. It's great .

    Are there vegan options?

    Vegetarian option.

    Are the mimosas bottomless?

    I don't believe they are, are they anywhere?

    Does this place have mimosas?

    Yes

    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.

    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!

    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.

My breakfast from the Hay Y'all food truck in Eugene arrived with promise, and in many ways, it delivered. The flavors were thoughtful, deliberate, and undeniably well executed. The pecan-crusted chicken was juicy, its crust confident and well seasoned. The French toast was rich without excess. The biscuits were fluffy and deeply comforting, and the gravy--pepper-forward yet restrained--was balanced precisely to my taste. This is food made by someone who understands flavor. And yet, cuisine is not merely flavor. It is temperature, proportion, and expectation meeting reality. Despite picking up my order immediately and driving no more than two minutes home, nearly everything arrived lukewarm--hovering uncomfortably between hot and forgotten. This was the single greatest disappointment, as warmth would have elevated every component substantially. Food like this begs to be eaten hot, not merely remembered as such. Portion size, particularly for the pecan-crusted chicken and French toast, also fell short of what had been promised--if not verbally, then visually. Online images suggest generosity: three, sometimes four pieces of chicken. My plate held two, both smaller than expected. The price remains reasonable, but I would gladly pay slightly more to receive portions that align with those expectations. The accompanying fruit, while a pleasant gesture, felt miscast. Tart strawberries and under-ripe pineapple did little to complement the dish. In January, this is forgivable--but perhaps a preserve or jam would serve the plate better, offering harmony rather than contrast. And yet, I find myself conflicted. Because despite these shortcomings, the food is good. More than good. It is thoughtful, balanced, and clearly prepared with care. With accurate portioning and food served properly hot, this meal would easily earn four, perhaps even five stars. I know this. For that reason, while my immediate, emotional reaction rests closer to a three or three-and-a-half out of five, I am rating this experience a four out of five stars. The quality of the cooking warrants generosity, even when execution falters. I was there very early, right at opening, and I recognize that busy mornings can challenge even capable kitchens. I will return. Not out of optimism, but out of confidence--because when food is this well conceived, it deserves another chance to be served as intended.
