We arrive and find a walk up window is the only way to purchase anything…read more The service person wasn't enthusiastic or energetic and almost seemed like they didn't enjoy being there. It is hard to see any of the offerings and the goods that we were able to see were unlabeled and unpriced. For us, shopping for baked goods is a visual experience. We had to squint through a glass door at an angle into a glass cabinet with reflections obstructing the view of the products The blueberry scone was light on blueberries but the glaze added a sweetness and some flavor. The Mushroom gouda turnover was a hot pastry that was flaky and had a nice buttery taste. It was a very flavorful combination that worked quite well.

I'm updating this review because they added a new all-vegan menu! There are so many options to…read morechoose from since my last visit. Vegans and vegetarians can go nuts now. Dumpling soups, various noodle dishes, appetizers, pancake, etc. Normally at Korean places I just order one of the 3 options and it's always the same. This is now one of the most vegetarian-friendly East Asian restaurants in the city. They dress it all up with purple rice, which might not be traditional but it's delicious (and very filling). Honey ginger tea is cozy on a rainy day. The addition of a towering Squid Game red-light-green-light girl in the dining room is... a choice. I get what they're going for, but if you've seen the show, it does plague your peripheral vision while you're trying to relax and eat... right??

Their staff were so kind and warm, I feel like they truly care about the experience at the register as a genuine connection with their customers! My issue was the coffee and food, though. I feel that, for a place to have a "coffee & kitchen" tagline, they must be on-point with their coffee. This was not the case. My latte was watery, and my friend's chai was worse! Their breakfast sandwich was good, but too oily. I was so excited for the ambience, but ultimately I was a bit disappointed...

They have this stuff called crazy corn that is cheesy and good. I'm not sure how much longer they will be at 255 Madison, as there is a rumor that 255 Madison is closing, but I really appreciate that they were willing to bring my food into me while I was sitting inside.

The Pineapple Poblano Chicken "bowlito" at Grateful Gringos ($12) might be one of the most…read moreenjoyable quick meals I've had in a while. It was a mix of pulled chicken breast "slow-cooked with peppers and pineapples over garlic-lime rice, topped with shredded cheese, spicy slaw and fresh pico". Every bite was filled with great flavors and textures. The heat was subtle but really added great depth. I meant to save some for later but I just couldn't stop until it was all gone. I was glad to find this new food cart at 255 Madison, right next to Oakshire and The Wandering Goat. They are Tex-Mex themed and have a bunch of great bowls on the menu, as well as nachos. Also, they are a dedicated 100% gluten-free facility. I can't wait to go through the menu. The people working there were very friendly and you can tell they care about putting out quality food.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here for dinner and also brunch the next day…read more I was happy to learn this place is dedicated gluten free and allergen friendly. I am dairy free. For dinner we ordered fried calamari for a starter. I got the steak frites and he got the chicken marsala (also made Dairy free). Amazing!! For breakfast this am, I got the chicken and waffles and he got the Elvis waffle. Both were so good! Definitely the highlight of the trip The waitress both days were super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I will be back again next time in town.

I prefer to only make positive reviews, but until this place figures out how to run a restaurant…read moreyou should avoid it. It was a busy weekend but here is the rundown of our brunch timing. Note this meal was on Saturday, not Sunday Mother's Day brunch : -1145am appointment and promptly seated. We were told it will take about 40 minutes to get our food which is fine. - 1200 the wait staff finally came by and took our total order (food and drinks) -1210 water was finally brought to table -1220 four of 5 beverages came out. - 1235 final beverage delivered. There is zero engagement from anyone between these long waits. -1255 three meals delivered. One missing something. - 100 one of the remaining meals delivered - 110 final meal and apology that it would be comped. That's 1.5 hours to get breakfast food for 5 people. The menu was good but the execution by the kitchen was inconsistent. At that point we just wanted to finally get out of there. Sitting there with tap water after finishing your first round of coffee/drinks a long time ago and hoping someone ever returns is crazy. The location is great, menu well constructed, and it was clean and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to just sit around and talk to each other for a couple hours and maybe, just maybe get some food or service at some point then this is the place for you. The one positive note was the barista slinging coffee drinks. She was working her tail off the entire time and all the coffee drinks were great. If anyone had come to ask we likely would have ordered more while we waited.

The fries were so overly seasoned we could only eat a few. I did the steak wrap and the meat was a bad cut and super chewy so I dumped out half of it. My husband did the bowl with steak and said it was good. Probably wouldn't come back but didn't hate it. The staff member was very stiff and more concerned with his cell phone. We ate at the little outside area the wine lab offers and it was pleasant.

They definitely get busy but we lucked out & snagged the last table during peak breakfast rush.

Parking is really the only challenge about this place. The pastry case offers a beautiful display of options. The menu is loaded with incredible choices with excellent flavor combinations.

I really love the location in downtown Eugene and enjoy the nostalgia of this long-standing brunch establishment. You'll come for the wholesome food and be delighted by the friendly service and uplifting atmosphere.

Loved that it was so close to the train station! The red door stood out in the morning sun; outdoor seating looked friendly. Sitting inside a raccoon that greeted us as well as a friendly purple painted morning glories climbing the walls. Pastry case was impressively packed with vegan pastries. The banana bread was outstanding. Ordered the 3 fingered jack (an omelette with green chiles) and I was told just about everything on the menu could be made vegan -- a promising treat for plant-based diet friends since the food was so well-made.

Their sides are really delicious though. The jalapeño poppers are so good. I don't even need the bacon on them but if it's cooked enough I'll eat that too. They have macaroni and cheese as well, and that's really good too. In fact, just give me some of the bacon mac and cheese and I'll be a happy camper. It seems we always order from here when I'm home visiting so next time I'll skip the burger and just get some of this. The restaurant is small, though they do have a little outside seating as well. I've only ever had takeout and it travels pretty well, though to be fair it's usually only going a half mile or so. The guy that helped me out was very friendly and quick to get my stuff once I realized there was a section for picking up. There's no parking here so you'll be looking for street parking, probably on Lincoln.
