They've just expanded a bit, and are serving the same good quality breakfast/brunch fare as before! We ordered a fried chicken biscuit and I was really impressed by it. The size was a bit over the top, but that's what I get for ordering an entire chicken thigh on a soft buttermilk biscuit - the structural integrity of the sandwich would have been more sound had I gotten it on brioche. I don't think it needed egg, but then again, I have a smaller appetite than most. Very delicious, crispy, juicy chicken though :). It hit the spot for me! Another constant for Washburne is they have a really nicely brewed batch coffee... As in, it doesn't taste burnt, gross, or like work conference coffee - it actually tastes good. Better than the way others batch brew Farmer's Union coffee!

Sausage biscuit. Delicious.

Great sandwiches, chill vibe and quality service. Hits all the marks! Bring the whole family.

This place is always a must when I'm in the area! The biscuits are actually to die for! I got the breakfast sandwich and it was the perfect pick me up! The portions are small so i wouldn't come here for a full breakfast but it is nice to grab something and go. I was in this weekend and it took over 30 minutes to get our food so be prepared to wait! And my coffee was a little watered down but it was pretty busy in there. I've been before and had better experiences!

Biscuits and gravy
Brandi I.

Super cute spot!! It can be busy, but I've never had trouble finding a place to sit. Even if it's cold you can brave the picnic tables outside. Service is good. If you're dining in, go to the counter to get your drinks but they will bring your food to you. Bus your own table. If you want water, it's by the silverware, which you will need to grab yourself. Bathrooms in the back. Food is very good. Biscuits and gravy is one of my favs. Street parking, so be patient with trying to find it, sometimes it's hard.

Breakfast plate with delicious sausage patty.

Delicious and beautiful. Perfect spot for my brunch and grading papers. So happy that Springfield has a great coffee shop.

A perfect mocha and cardamom morning bun

Great food and coffee, but the girls up front have horrible customer service. I expect a little more in the PNW.

Our visit to Cascade Biscuit Kitchen was really disappointing…read more The restaurant is kinda fast casual I guess, because you order at the counter and then sit at your table for your food to come out. My mom ordered a waffle a la carte and it was honestly stunned to see that it was a pre-made waffle (I saw her put it in the oven when I was getting some water). Liege style they may be, but Eggo liege? I mean I clearly don't know they use Eggo waffles specifically, but I just cannot believe they charge over $5 for a frozen waffle they stick in the oven for a couple minutes. We ordered some beignets for the table, and beignets came with the meal; we assumed they'd come first. It was a lot of food, especially all at once, so the beignets didn't quite get the full attention they deserved. But they were just ok, and if you're looking for beignets I wouldn't come here just for that; Oh My Mini Donuts in Eugene makes them better. Probably the best part of the meal in my opinion was the breakfast casserole thing they have--their potatoes. It reminds me of a breakfast thing that my mom used to make and now I need to find a recipe for it so I can make it soon. The biscuits were not bad, though the butter was cold so it couldn't really spread very well and that made the biscuit a bit dry. And on an 80 degree day they couldn't put any ice in their water container (water is self-serve) so it was room temperature. I'm glad that we came because now I don't have to wonder about it anymore. And I mean, it's in Springfield just on the other side of Glenwood, and the Eugene/Springfield area isn't huge so it took all of 15 minutes to get her. But everything I had here--except for the potato casserole--is something I can get a better version of elsewhere, and closer.

Tried this place out today (around 9:30 am on a Sunday during Memorial Weekend) and loved it! It…read morewas early enough that there wasn't really a wait and plenty of seating. The space is really cute--feels like a legit southern biscuit place, it's tidy and clean but without frills (in a good way). The benches can seat a lot of people! We ordered a Ron Swanson breakfast, a Chicken & Waffles Breakfast, and some beignets (because I had to try them)! As you can see in the pictures, there is a LOT of food! The waffles are liege waffles, the yummy kind with the sugar crust! And it was all really delicious! The beignets were hot and flaky and came with this light lemony creamy stuff that was very good. We ended up taking home boxes--I feel like I've got enough food leftover for 1.5 meals! They have Coke Products & juice in a case, along with unlimited coffee and water. The staff was friendly, considerate, and gave some great recommendations.

Possibly probably the best brunch bite ever. We stopped in for brunch and I ordered the Spanish…read moreeggs with a side of the lamb sausage they make in-house. We sat outside on the charming patio and enjoyed a beautiful day. The eggs were poached absolutely perfectly, and everything on the plate was excellent. But the bite of bread, running poached egg, and tomato/peppers sauce with a little of that lamb sausage added may genuinely be the best bite of brunch I've ever had. Not hyperbole. I engineered every remaining bite to recreate it. The sausage itself is worth ordering on its own. It was light but rich, beautifully seasoned, and an absurdly good addition to the Spanish eggs. We're not from the area, which is unfortunate, because Mimosas would immediately enter the regular brunch rotation. Truly phenomenal. Server Jasmine took care of us with great service, and owner Tamara made us feel so welcome.

Beautiful place, good service, but the French Toast is not French Toast. The Challah bread has…read morevery little egg other than what's brushed on the crust, basically a braided white bread. Nevertheless, the mascarpone and the fresh fruit gives a delightful flavor, like does peanut butter and jelly. It's sad when you are looking to have "French toast," you are substituted with something that perhaps was not prepared right or basically skimped to shortcut the preparation. I will go back at another time and re-evaluate this place. It is such a nice place and the staff is very friendly.

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!

Great locally sourced menu items. Our server was friendly and patient as he explained the menu…read moreitems to us. Don't ask for Splenda, Stevia or any other artificial sweetener for coffee or tea. Our waiter just about clutched his pearls when I asked for Stevia. The ambience reminded us of small tourist-free boutique eateries in NYC. The only item I was slightly disappointed in was the Brie & Truffle Macaron. I got the wonderful flavor of the Brie, but not the slightest hint of black truffle. It was still delicious.

I stopped in here this morning after getting blood drawn next door. I had been fasting so I was…read morehungry and I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. It is so cute and lovely! It was super busy when I visited around 9:45am on a Monday, so you know they're good. I was greeted immediately and placed my order quickly. The girl working the register was super helpful and friendly. I wanted to try the seasonal banana bread cold brew, but I can't have caffeinated drinks so I asked if it could be made decaf. She said she can do it as a decaf latte instead and I agreed. It is SO good! It's sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. You can taste banana and cinnamon, perfectly balanced. I was worried the banana flavor would be fake tasting but it's not, it tastes like real bananas. I also got the Sasquatch sushi because I had to know what it was and it was amazing. It's a pbj with banana, in sushi form! It's such a cool idea and tasted fantastic. My partner was also super entertained by it and he loved it too. I got the Sunbreak breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Everything I had here today was fantastic! I love this little cafe and will absolutely be back. I already recommended them to two of my friends as well. Go here, you won't regret it!

They definitely get busy but we lucked out & snagged the last table during peak breakfast rush. Everything on the menu looked great but I have a soft spot for fresh biscuits & decided to go for the jewel with avocado. Our group ordered a few different things, some other sandwiches, biscuits, & toasts, as well as some pastries. Everyone was happy with their order & we'll keep it in mind for next time.
