Rolled into The Greene Lily for a Sunday morning breakfast @ 9am. My crew of 5 were greeted by staff minutes prior to opening time. Staff here aims to please with coffee and water being poured routinely throughout the breakfast. My table had a highlight of orders to include the 2x2x2, Chipotle Benedict, Backwoods Benedict, and my Chicken and Waffle Sammy. Prior to ordering breakfast you must try the beignets! Fresh, tasty, and hott! Not only was the service excellent and food tasty the historic building this restaurant sits within makes for a unique dining experience. 5 stars! I'll be back. read more

I was given the recommendation to eat here by our AirBnB host Jennifer, from up in McKinleyville. This place was wonderful. Cute colorful building, clean, and smelled wonderful walking in the door. We ordered the mimosa flight and it was fun to have our waitress choose the flavors for us. This arrived on a long plank in the cutest mini mason jar glasses. Then we ordered a side of French toast, a Bloody Mary (it had a tahin rim!) and the half and half, which is a half order of the regular eggs Benedict and a half order of the backwoods Benedict. Both were incredible! Eggs cooked perfectly, buttery smooth hollandaise sauce, and the freshest rosemary breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Not greasy at all, just beautifully cooked and full of flavor. The service was lovely and fast. We look forward to coming back again. read more

I was hoping for an omelette. No omelette on the menu. I asked why they didn't have omelettes on the menu and waitress had no idea. I had the ham scramble. It was actually the best part of the meal. The potatoes were barely lukewarm and kind of soggy; not good. The toast was so cold the already soft butter did not melt; again not good. Sorry, but I won't be coming back. read more

The service was great as was the food. We did have to order sides to cover the that all encompassing full breakfast, but everything was good especially the hot chocolate. They have 2nd floor seating as well. read more

The place is cute inside but it's overpriced sub par food at best. I paid $50 for two BLAT and the avocado was brown & tasted like it had expired. They barely put anything on the sandwich leaving me with 50% left over just plain bread and they couldn't be bothered to put mayo on the bread themselves so half the sandwich fell apart in my process of trying to do that myself. Their "local coffee" was brewed terribly as well, bitter with a weird after taste. Don't waste your time eating her, drive to arcata if you want something worth that kind of money. This meal tasted like it should have cost half that price. read more

The Greene Lily - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eureka, California

I have not been to the Greene Lily since it moved location so I was so excited to drop by there this last weekend~ And wow it looks so beautiful inside! Loved the high ceilings, the huge gorgeous wooden bar and that lovely minty color of the walls and how comfy the seating along the walls feel. Our waitress was very nice and sweet with my lil squirmy nephew (who gives the Ghirardelli hot chocolate his whole-hearted approval). And I'm in LOVE with those biscuits and gravy. So simple but amazing and hit the spot. Overall amazing brunch and can't wait to bring my mom here :D read more

Great food and service. Only complaint was the size of the eggs- two eggs were gone in two bites. Buy bigger eggs! Everything else was nice.

Oh my god. This place is awful. The food is awful, expensive for what it is, very unappealing looking, waitress couldn't give a single fuck about waiting on us didn't check up on us once, decided to just chat with old people at the bar, awkward vibe in there, no music old ass decor and drunk people asking nearby diners about there personal life..... just overall not worth 40 minutes of your day. go to los bagels down the street! SOOOO MUCH BETTER ! glad to know i will never be back. read more

Stopped by recently for breakfast one morning, the place was busy so I sat at the bar since I was solo. Service was slow at best, they gave away or mis sent my breakfast to someone else? Then literally ignored me. My order was simple, avocado toast with fruit and a coffee - then had someone sit beside me ten minutes later and they got their meal a solid ten minutes before me and not until I asked my server at the bar about my food. There was no apology or even an acknowledgement, it was at least obvious to me - my patronage was not valued. Even another customer said something to the server about my meal being overlooked. Crowded on the weekends is an understatement. Even getting a coffee refill was like an act of god. A casual popular eatery with a center isle of tables and chairs with wall of booths and a bar with seats. A high ceiling makes the place very loud to blaring noisy. Maybe it was a bad day? or maybe its just the normal there but it was not worth the time, energy or effort. A single piece of avocado toast with seriously four slices of avo and a cup of coffee took over an hour? My food was okay but overlooked and wrong, ordered fruit and got spuds and its avocado on a piece of toast its not that complicated. Then after getting passed over and having to reask for my food, at almost $20 bucks and its wrong... after an extended wait - the 2 stars is being generous. Was not impressed, felt disregarded and like my eating there was a secondary thought and an inconvenience to my server. As such cannot recommend, and will most likely not return. 2 Stars - a disappointment 00906 read more

Biscuits and Gravy highly disappointing. The most savory brunch dish you could have imagined somehow came out sweet. When i was asked how my meal was I said just ok. The gravy was disappointing. The waitress stated it's bacon gravy and not sausage gravy. Fun fact, I make bacon gravy and biscuits at home. Bacon gravy is not new to me. The reason for the sweetness she stated because of applewood bacon. Complete disappointment. Yes, I may be a B&G connoisseur but this gravy doesn't even rise to the level of a rating. If you want top notch B&G go to Aroma. Their coffee is great too! read more

Definitely my favorite place to Dine out at. Great food, full bar, inviting dining area with chairs & possibly the longest comfy bench I've ever seen. I usually get either a Rooster, Philly, Benny or Breakfast Burrito. I really dig their Ranch & they have a nice selection of Hot Sauces too There's also an upstairs that can be rented out for larger private parties that mimics the style from downstairs with windows looking down over the downstairs dining room​ read more

Wow! I absolutely loved this place, which is both historic and new. We started with the mimosa flight. Plenty to share!!! I can't believe I'm saying this - but the ratio of juice to alcohol is a little light. I got the 50-50 and loved it. Both classic Benny and Backwoods Benny. Eggs cooked perfectly and loved both sauces. The Hubbs got the meatloaf and eggs. All was good!!! Service was excellent. read more

What a fun place! It's like a mini vacation from the outside world. The hostess rocked, and my server was a total pro. I ordered an Aperol spritz, and it was like a little taste of heaven. Then, I went for a mimosa that hit the spot. The avocado toast could've been better, but the fruit and potatoes were a nice surprise. I'll be back for more good vibes! read more

Good breakfast and brunch spot in downtown Eureka. Cool vibe and good food. My wife said the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict was the best she has had. For her to say this is a great compliment because she's a great chef. I had the waffle with a side of bacon. Friendly service. read more

I was excited to see vegan dishes on the menu. However, the breakfast potato had a strong taste of meat. Sure enough, they grill vegan stuff on the same grill.. albeit on one side I was told. But looks like the juices of the meat certainly made its way to the 'vegan' dishes.. read more

If you are vegan just save your time and go to Witness coffee Roasters!!! We were welcomed by the tweaker sitting on the bench outside. I gave 2 stars bc the server was decent but took them a few mins to acknowledge us when we walked in. It was almost like they wanted us to greet them lol There is horrible signal inside restaurant and no wifi for customers. So we couldn't finish our food bc we had a work call. The vegan options were horrible. I got the avocado toast, it was decent. The coffee tasted bad, they don't have expresso. I couldn't even take it down. Witness Coffee Roasters has great vegan options and amazing coffee with WiFi. read more

excellent service great food ambience incredible Great dining experience. I plan on going there again in a couple of weeks.

We were so excited to try this place because the menu looked amazing. The food was such a disappointment. French toast and waffles looked and tasted like they came from a roadside hotel breakfast buffet, half of the potatoes on my egg dish were cold, the hot chocolate clearly came from a packet mixed with water (yet they charged $4.25!) and the ranchero sauce tasted watered down. We paid $90 for a breakfast that was probably one of the worst meals we have had in a long time. The ambiance is lovely but they need to pay more attention to the food. read more

Great food and service and the next time I'm in Portland I will definitely be back! This restaurant truly lived up to all the stars!!!

Place was very clean, ambiance was chill. Had soup and salad-easy meal for a kitchen-and it was not good. The ranch dressing was thin, watery and tasteless, salad was mediocre at best. Soup was depressingly lukewarm. Service was lukewarm as well--waitress seemed annoyed to serve and only came back once near the end of our meal to ask if we wanted anything else. Waited forever for our check too. Will not be going back anytime soon until the food and service improves. read more

Walked in around noon this past Sunday. They were busy but had three or four open tables. The server asked if we'd take the high top and sitting in the high top chairs always hurts my back as I had spinal surgery, so I said (politely I thought) "I'd prefer to not do a high top" and he said, as if he were fed up with polite indirectness, "The *answer* is no." Okay then. Then told me to take a table. I don't know what the reason for the snarky rudeness was, maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe he wished he was in New York where people would just be like, "F your high top!" We almost left and I actually wish we had because we paid $65 for overcooked bacon, greasy potatoes, bland French toast (doesn't look like the photo, I make better at home, the description makes it sound delish but it's just bread dipped in egg and milk with no seasonings like nutmeg), orange juice that tasted like it was concentrate, hard scrambled eggs, and tasteless chicken fried pork. Coffee was good. The waitress was nice. The place is pretty and has a full bar though it's only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

Wow! A true gem that I definitely enjoyed while staying here in Eureka! Went here for Brunch yesterday and had an amazing time! Started with the 6 flight mimosas, yummy! I had watermelon, tangerine, strawberry guava, mango, and I forgot the other 2 lol but all were delicious! My entree was a seasonal choice, The Harvest Monte, pumpkin purée brioche French toast with havarti cheese and prosciutto with apple butter. So seasonally delish!!! My friend had apple sausage, eggs, potatoes and toast and it looks yummy! We got to sit outside and the weather was AMAZING! Our hostess and server were the kindest ladies! Looking forward to returning! read more

Food has been cold 2 out of 3 times that I have been for breakfast. Coffee was cold too. They use bacon instead of sausage for their country gravy, and it was really gross to have wet slimmy pieces of bacon in gravey with my biscuits. I won't be returning. 3 times was not a charm. read more

We had a girls weekend in Eureka and I introduced my friends to the Greene Lily. They loved it so much we had several meals there. The menu is huge,you can get breakfast or lunch, and they can accommodate people with dietary restrictions. Portions are huge, but they offer half orders. Food is fresh and delicious. But the best part is the service. Our waitress had just the right "attitude" for our group. Brandi was terrific! We're all looking forward to our next meal at Greene Lily. read more

Service was slow, food was not hot, and the entree was bland. The staff was pleasant but overall not a good dining experience.

I recently hosted a pre-wedding brunch for our son and daughter-in-law (and about 35 guests) at the Greene Lily. What a wonderful experience! Working with Charity via email, since we are not local, to coordinate the event was so easy. She went above and beyond in helping me plan our menu, offering suggestions and incorporating my ideas. When we arrived the morning of the event, I was so delightfully surprised. The upstairs venue was just beautifully set up, the food was amazing, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend The Greene Lily for your next special gathering! read more

I got the ham scramble so tasty, waitress was helpful and upbeat, love the music and ambiance!

We stopped by here on a family trip because a Find Gluten Free app said they did a great job of maintaining safety for Celiac people. We were fortunate that we got there when we did, as the place was less than an hour from closing. However, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful and seated us immediately. My kids were happy; they got chicken strips and a cheese burger, and both were exactly what was offered. I had a chicken fried pork loin, on suggestion from the waitress, with eggs over medium and home fries. It was unusual and unique and I enjoyed it quite a bit. My partner had a vegetarian scramble that was completely gluten free and she had no anxiety at all with her food. That is a great thing for us, especially when travelling. We also splurged and tried out their mimosa selection. They have plenty of options when it comes to their mimosa's, as well as two sizes. They were fabulous; a pomegranate mimosa and a watermelon-strawberry one. If we end up in this town again (unlikely, since we were just passing through at the time), we'd definitely come back here though. The service was friendly and fast, the food was great, and the atmosphere was perfect. read more
