Cafe creates 'community' in city
The Morning Glory Cafe works
with Out of the Fog to create
a relaxed atmosphere and
eco-friendly food service
Aaron Shakra
Pulse Reporter
The color of the walls and decor
are fitting for the name. Colorful
greens, yellows and lively plants
adorn the interior of the Morning
Glory Cafe & Bakery.
The restaurant, located at 450
Willamette St., is kitty-comer to the
Amtrak train station. It opened in
1997 and underwent expansion in
2000. The current owner, Ceciley
Slocum, purchased the building in
order to create a sense of communi
ty within the boundaries of the city.
“I see this as an experiment,”
Slocum said. “I wanted community.”
Slocum, a graduate from the Uni
versity, received her degree in polit
ical science with a focus on the en
vironment and community. She
said Morning Glory makes business
decisions with a keen awareness of
environmental and social sustain
ability. It almost exclusively sup
ports organic food and local farm
ers, and it constantly makes food
donations to a variety of organiza
tions and causes.
This awareness takes even the
smallest of details into consideration.
The restaurant uses recycled or
scrap paper to advertise daily spe
cials. Flour bags become garbage
bags. All food scraps are composted.
Tinfoil or plastic wrap is rarely used.
There’s a 25-cent “eco-tax” applied
to customers taking their food home
in containers. Any leftover food is
given to homeless people or tree-sit
ters.
The menu is largely vegan, and
where it isn’t, it’s indicated other
wise. However, everything is vege
tarian. Whether this is a bane or a
boon for customers, the cafe
still offers a diverse selection
of meals.
Contained within Morning
Glory is Out of the Fog, a lo
cal coffee business. Although
the two establishments oper
ate independently (Out of
the Fog arrived at this loca
tion in 2001), they share the
same core business edicts.
“It’s really a family — we
all hang out with each other
so much that it’s really com
fortable. All of our conscious
ness have melded together,”
Slocum said. “We don’t really
make that much money, so it
helps to split the bills.”
Out of the Fog serves or
ganic coffee purchased exclu
sively under fair trade condi
tions. It offers a variety of
blends, along with other
drinks such as cold-press
lattes and smoothies. They
produce their own chai tea; in
comparison to other coffee
houses in Eugene, this is a
rarity. They also adhere to the 25
cent eco-tax — this is accented by a
“One Earth, Indisposable” sign hang
ing below the menu.
Morning Glory is open from 7:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through
Sunday. Out of the Fog opens at 6:30
a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. Tuesday
through Saturday. On Sunday and
Monday, coffee service ends at 6 p.m.
Many of the employees of both
Morning Glory and Out of the Fog
have worked at the establishment
for numerous years, and many are
activists. Jitterbug, a “counter
mama,” came to work at the estab
lishment with the background of a
forest defender.
Jitterbug spoke briefly about the
details of forest defense and matched
Slocum’s sentiments regarding the
origins of Morning Glory.
“It started with a strong environ
mentally and politically active hue,”
she said.
Morning Glory has a large num
ber of regular customers, but it also
attracts plenty of business from
first-timers and those stopping be
tween train breaks. Slocum said
that some train passengers have
made this a regular stop.
“We have a big fan club, and this
keeps things going,” she said.
More often than not, there’s mu
sic playing. On a given visit, cus
tomers might hear the likes of Neil
Young, Ani DiFranco or Hanuman.
The walls of the cafe feature a vari
ety of artwork, usually rotating on a
monthly basis. This is a popular at
traction for Morning Glory — their
walls are booked through August of
next year. Artist Eva Edelman’s paint
ings are on display through October.
Sumer, an artist whose works
have been featured on the walls of
the cafe in the past, also works at
Morning Glory as a “dish warrior.”
She “started working as a dish
monk.” and discussed her “way of
the dish.” She creates an alter-ego
mentality when washing dishes.
“I’m totally about battling the
filth,” she said.
The establishment also plays host
to other events. Live music per
formances and poetry nights for
high school students happen often.
There’s also a “drag” theme night
on the third Friday of every month.
Those who attend can read poetry,
play music and sing songs —
whether in drag or not.
