I try something else on the menu every time and have met everytime! my man always gets the barbie melt and I have to admit, it's special! sooo good. shaved since, melted cheeze, BBQ sauce! but I also have the French dip, ckn n biscuits (cashew gravy is quite dang special! , biscuits and gravy, rub, oh and the hush are so good! this place never disappointed! they can really not go wrong with something on the menu. Many thanks to cornbread cafe for making something amazing vegan food! but with everything that has said, the mac uncheeze is just okay. it's good, but not the best I had. but this is ok bc the kartoffels and cashew gravy is sooo good!

I had thought I would get that eugenwich and when I asked the person what I should do, he beat the eugenewich so that I have. I also ordered maisbrot, makkaroni and hush puppy. the sandwich was fantastic. I loved everyone. I wasn't worried about the makkaroni. hush puppies were good and the maisbrot was so good that I ordered some to go. in any case they visit when they are in eugen.

I used to travel up and down Oregon a lot, and I would always try to stop here when going through Eugene. The Eugenewich was legendary, easily one of the best “burgers” I’ve ever had, especially when they were still putting the crispy carrots on it. And their southern fried tofu still remains the best fried tofu I’ve ever had anywhere. I’m going to miss you, Cornbread Cafe! Thank you for all the delicious and nourishing soul food!

I almost worked in the back of the house at Cornbread Cafe. I come from a culinary arts background and still love cooking vegetable forward vegan meals. Cornbread is unique in that it does vegan comfort food aka comfort food like sandwiches and sides very well. I recently went here with some friends. We enjoyed our meal. I am a big fan of Reubens and here they do it right. Perhaps a touch heavy. They use seitan for the protein aka wheat protein which I am fine with yet prefer tempeh Reubens. Still all in all it was quite alright and got it with a side of mashed taters and gravy. My friend got a French dip sandwich with fries. That she enjoyed. Her sister went with the southern fried tofu and cauliflower wings. I tried the latter. It was tasty yet was breaded and deep fried. I think Cornbread Cafe is good for vegan comfort food to enjoy on occasion when not following my regular whole food plant based aka vegan diet. Recommended to give a try in the area.

Amazingly one of the best “vegan comfort food” places that I have tried (and there have been many). The Eugenewich was probably the best I have ever had. The biscuits and gravy… to die for. Obviously, homemade biscuits. The Reuben was fantastic too! Don’t forget the cornbread and the hush puppies. It might be worth the 500 mile drive just for the food. The staff is friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience. Can’t say enough!

Many great meals and terrific service over the past couple of years. I have always found vegetarian and vegan food in particular highly suspect. Had I known this was a vegan restaurant, I probably wouldn 't have tried it, but it was nearly 9 at night early in the week and almost nothing was open. The lights were on, so we wandered in. Once we saw the menu, we considered bolting for the door, but the staff was super welcoming and things smelled good, so we gave it a try. Lo and behold, this has become one of our quirky Eugene favorites. I 've tried most things on the menu and everything has been really good. The moody portabella and the chicken-fried tempeh are my favorites, the bloke likes the eugenewich. Does it taste like the 'meat ' version would? Absolutely not, but it is delicious down-home southern food. Get a side of greens, maybe two, they 're awesome.

It 's hard to find a vegan breakfast gravy that 's salty and 'meaty ' (most are mushroom or inexplicably white and bland), but Cornbread figured it out! Hands down my favorite breakfast place...too bad it 's 2 hours away!

We moved here from Norcal and there are a ton of vegan places in the bay area, Berkeley and further north. But I have to say Cornbread Cafe is My FAVORITE eatery, everything I've tried has been delicious, the staff are friendly and even on busy days it's totally worth the wait. My hubby and 2 teenage boys are quite fond of the burgers, where my ultimate fave is the Fried Tempeh, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh and The desserts ... the BOMB! And Explosion of Yummyness in my mouth, Yes Please !!

The mashed potatoes and gravy are also good. The side of kale is often not kale and instead other greens like chard or spinach. Just to warn you if you had your heart set on kale. The fries are good. The burgers are good. The rueben is good. I just think they probably don't have anything bad on the menu. I recommend ordering it to go and having a picnic at Monroe Park.

I like how it didn't taste like tempeh but the gravy is too thick. I don't like the texture and feel like there is a lack of flavor. The Mac and cheese was also bland and the corn bread was dry.
