What a treat on an impromptu late-night dessert run while we were in town for a conference! I haven’t been back since relocating up north, and this visit reminded me just how fond I am of this place. The London Fog and Pistachio Raspberry Rose Cakes were delectably delicious: smooth, fluffy, and awe-inspiring with every bite for our party of three. The Chai Cheesecake was on the heavier side and lacked the spice-forward flavor we were hoping for. The small hard candied fruit–filled chocolates were alright: the passion-fruit flavor was a bit better than the cardamom raspberry, though both leaned heavy on dark chocolate and light on fruit notes. Our hot and iced chai drinks were fine but unremarkable. I appreciate the flow improvement now that you can enter through the door closer to Main Street; you actually have time to see all the beautiful desserts in the case before it’s your turn to order. The renovated outdoor seating area is lovely as well. Alley parking is still available, except on Sundays since it’s the church lot. When we visited this weekend, hours were 8 a.m.–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Yelp lists daily hours as 8 a.m.–10 p.m., though I didn’t ask for confirmation. Though not as late as they used to be, staying open until 10 p.m. is still fabulously awesome for a dessert spot! If you’re not local, definitely check out this place whenever you’re in proximity; it’s an Eugene classic worth the detour.

Absolutely delicious! We were told to come here by a friend who used to frequent this patisserie in college and we were not disappointed. I got the vegan berry sweet roll and it was incredible! It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. We would come back here in a heart beat next time we are in town. The staff is so kind too!

I’m sorry I’m confused is this a diabetic or sugar free bakery or something?! The whoopie pie was dry and absolutely tasteless. It felt like eating saw dust. I swear there wasn’t any sugar in it at all. I actually want the owner of this place to have one themselves and tell me if they think that is edible. I had 2 bites and had to throw the rest out. Please stop selling those to customers. Then came the carrot cake, I had high hopes for thinking maybe the whoopie pie was a bad batch or was stale. Wrong. Firstly, the bottom layer of the cake is undercooked and gummy in the center and it’s also like they forgot to put sugar in any of it. The first bite of this cake was just raw cream cheese and carrot- it was like eating a diabetic dessert. My husband and the guest I served it to both said it was terrible and literally inedible. If this cake is some kind of sugar free dessert- it wasn’t labeled anywhere on the case or on their website. Honestly I’m not one to want a refund, but I want my $45 back because the cake went in the garbage after we all had a bite or two each and I really hate wasting food. If you’re going to make low sugar or sugar free desserts you should advertise that so people know what they’re getting into! I’ve had a million pieces of carrot cake in my life and this was NOT carrot cake.

Overall I would say it’s a pretty good place for pastry 😊…. Tiramisu was different, yummy and enjoyable. It’s not the best I’ve had but calories were worth 😉 Passion fruit ice cream was pretty good too. Curious to try the other flavors.
