New Day Bakery

Huge disappointment. Even though there appears to be a huge menu, there really wasn’t that much variety, and, for the heart of the Whitaker, it’s very vegan-​unfriendly. None of the desserts are vegan and even the whole wheat bread apparently had some non-​vegan ingredient. The staff was at least very accommodating, announcing what wasn’t vegan and letting me substitute, but I was dismayed at how limited my choices became. I had the grilled tempeh sandwich which was ok, but pretty dry, bland, and nothing you couldn’t quickly make at home. However, it still took them over an hour (!) to bring it out. Granted, I had come with a large group, but we were nearly the only ones in the restaurant and people’s food came out one-​by-​one, so it really should have been faster. Maybe non-​vegan foods are more flavorful, but I definitely would not recommend to vegans. The bathroom is also a little gross. They have a big table of cheap day-​old pastries, which is a nice bargain but it seems like they’re not well-​organized to always have so many leftovers.

Poor service, and low quality dinner for a high price. The gal had to ask us what we ordered 3 different times, my food was cold and had a hair in it, and my partner’s pasta could have been made better at home. Very disappointing dinner experience!

So good! We had an omelet, the Mexican scramble and home-​fries (maybe a little too much food for two people!) and all of it was amazing. Such a nice atmosphere and a great breakfast. My omelet was very good as was the rest of the goodies, might have to grab a bear claw on the way out!

My father told me a good indicator for any food dispensing place is how clean their bathroom is. This holds true at new day bakery. A faucet that barely works, a bar of soap, and a towel for your hands. Didn’t seem sanitary at all. It was right in line with the poor décor and lack of hygiene that was seen of one of the cooks. The food was decent and moderately priced, but the architecture and seating arrangement was off putting, and the bathroom sealed it’s fate for this review. Not impressed

*sigh* I’ve been here twice, expecting it to be a quaint place to eat in the Whit. Both times I got very poor service from the same cashier. After standing at the counter for 3 minutes the dishboy had to come help us order and he had no idea how to work the register (that’s OK dishboy it’s not your fault.) Finally the cashier sauntered out from the hallway and made us our drinks. The mochas she made us were luke warm, tasted like ‘hot’ chocolate rather than mocha, and upset my stomach shortly after. If anyone from New Day Bakery reads the many poor reviews on here, I hope it inspires some change in the way this place is run. I won’t be coming here again.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because they have the world’s worst biscuits and gravy. It looked less than appetizing and tasted the same. Omelettes and potato combos are great but STAY AWAY FROM THE BUSCUITS AND GRAVY!!!

I ordered the omelette. I got black beans in it with some jack (cheese), mushrooms and avocado slices (on top). Paired with it was some delicious sourdough toast. SO GOOD. There’s also a pretty sweet patio area out front to enjoy your meal in the sun if you wish. The girls were cute and the food wasn’t too shabby either! Screams «Eugene». Loved it.

I JUST ATE THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH OF MY LIFE.
well maybe in the top 3.
I went at 7:15AM, so it wasn’t crowded at all. The atmosphere isn’t super exciting, but the food is great. It’s a great place to eat and read a book. If you go here, you will not be disappointed.

Dammit Unilocal!You have failed me! Why is this place not one of the top results for breakfast in Eugene?! Why is it not in the top 20?!? I am leaving town to live in England and I only discovered this place this week after being here for more than two years… such a disappointment Unilocal,really.
This place is rockin’ awesome! Best for me, Scramble + any four ingredients EVER. Werd.
*Plus the Breakfast Burritos are AHMAZING.

I’ve always thought highly of this little hideaway tucked away of Blair ave. However the unpleasant help that served us was a disappointment. Still great kale croissants toasted with butter… worth a trip to eat…

Always good & fresh baked. A regular spot for me to meet friends for good cheap food.

This is my must stop every time I am in Eugene. To me its a great place to get a good breakfast at an affordable cost. My faviorte being the french toast. Its made out of high quality egg bread, and it just soaks up the syrup. I also enjoy their coffee drinks.
This is place is not for everyone. Its laid back and the general vibe makes it a great place to relax, and enjoy your cofee and whatever you are eating. The staff is friendly but always busy making new things. The benches are old; but the outdoor seating is perfect.

How does a bakery in the Whit not have any vegan options? No wonder I never hear anyone raving about this place like almost everywhere else in this neighborhood. I asked the server «do you have anything vegan?» He gives me a stoner shrug «nah we don’t have anything, don’t have anything gluten free either. People are always asking for it though». Take a hint. Some of us prefer our treats without torturing animals, some of us have dietary restrictions. And this neighborhood is known for adhering to such requests. Very disappointed in this place.

I went in today for cheese cake. In my opinion some of the best cheese cake in town. Not only did I get cheese cake I also bought a bag of «day old» pizza rolls (they are normally delisous). I finally get home to open my bag of rolls and the top roll was molded on the bottem and the other 2 were exceedingly molded. Now the restaurant part of the bakery is really bad, the food is horrible. The building isnt horribly dirty but it isnt all that clean either. The only reason I have gone here in the past was for bread and desserts, but I think that’s over with now. I don’t think I can trust that they have good quality fresh food.

Simple but satisfying. Huge menu, we did Breakfast scrambles with «pick your own» variety off the board. Nice outdoor seating, cool place, I’d go again

Chocolate chip cookie was stale and chocolate brownie tasted like chocolate cake without chocolate flavour.

my food was pretty o.k., i wouldnt say spectacular~
the baked goods looked amazing, but i didnt get anything from that section. the menu is so extensive though, that it is possible i just didnt order the best things! will definitely try again. the booths and seating areas are super great, and its a nice place to hang out and do some computer work and chat with friends.

I’m giving this 2 stars because I’ve had decent pizza here, but yesterday my husband and I both got very sick to our stomachs immediately after eating, it was either the home fries, the salsa or something in my husbands bean bowl (I had a bite.) The food we ordered was very bland, my breakfast burrito was the worst I’ve ever had.

Their vegan chili is pretty good, same with their hibiscus lemonade. Don’t get me started on their fresh baked bread — NOM! Would like to see more vegan options– like a vegan pizza or calzone OR a vegan grille cheese. We need this! #veganproblems

Really nice place, wide open space and nice outdoor seating. Here with the girlfriend for breakfast, has an overall nice feel. Barista didnt know how to make a london fog but was happy to make one with our advice.
Almond bear claw is amazing. They have day old pastry’s for rather cheap, especially considering the quality (2.50 for 3 chocolate filled croissants).
