Food Scene

Located right downtown, this cozy, independently owned cafe serving breakfast, lunch and dinners (check hours). The menu is inventive and delicious. We were there for breakfast, but plan to check out the dinner and cocktails soon.

Very yummy Thai food, and we think it is the best in Eugene. They also have excellent cocktails, beer and cider on tap. Not a ton of ambience, but nicely set up and friendly staff. Ask for Amanda!
