Excellent bakery, particularly bread and cardamom pinwheels. Get one! Good coffee, breakfast and lunch, and a great evening atmosphere in the summer with live music I think on Tuesdays. Get there early for Tuesday events.

The very most charming eating experience in Eugene in our opinion. Excellent pizza and appetizers. They probably make the best salads in town. We love this place with our hearts as well as our stomachs. It’s small and busy.

Pandita
398 East 11th AvenueThis place has the best outdoor patio in town so far, right on the river. The food is much better than other mcmenamins restaurants and they carry draft beers other than their own (thank god). Only go if you can reserve a nice patio table on a nice day.

Fancier place with excellent food and atmosphere. Go here, order the roasted garlic and cambazola, arugula salad, and a glass of red wine. That might be enough for two and it’ll feel warm and fuzzy. If you’re wanting dessert, go all in with the panna cotta. A dairy dream.
