Viva! Vegetarian Grill- Eugene seems to always come through with great plantbased food for the hungry traveler. I've already posted about the Eugene classic and staple Morning Glory and the awesome vegan food truck Coalesce Juicery. Neither were open when I had a free minute before soundcheck, so I set in off in search of another option for a late afternoon lunch.

I found Viva! a small little shack that serves vegan sandwiches, tacos and some appetizers. I went with the housemade falafel, which was solid. The menu isn't exactly my cup of tea but I always appreciate finding some plantbased food made with love. I definitely dig the minimalist vibe of this little spot. The only seating is under a small tarp next to there little shack where they cook the goods. Very cool spot holding it down for a certain type of vegetarian fare in Eugene!

Coalesce- Super cool vegan food truck in Eugene. We had an afternoon radio performance and I was glad to find Coalesce a block away from the station. Coalesce is entirely vegan, organic and gluten free. They are primarily raw but have a few hot and cooked items as well. They have an extensive juice menu. I had an amazing Spinach Portabella soup with a small superfood salad. Both were great! The prices were steep but as I've said before, quality comes with a price tag!

Morning Glory- This is my staple in Eugene. Awesome old school, vegetarian, healthy spot. They are only open until 3:30pm (so plan accordingly!) Morning Glory has a comfy vibe and the prices are totally reasonable. They have amazing salads and pretty much everything on the menu seems to be great. Morning Glory has vegetarian brunch items- Some of there highlights are: '3 Sisters' their housemade mushroom gravy with sauteed veggies, 'The Bomblette' their take on an omelet with tons of veggies in a potato shell and as previousy mentioned the salads (with homemade dressings) are always great. They also have a small selection of fresh juices (carrot, grapefruit, orange) a fruit smoothie of the month and tons of teas and coffee. If in Eugeene for breakfast or lunch, Morning Glory is not to be missed.
