I did not try any of the other desserts but macarons are difficult to master and Pinch of Salt is truly a black belt bakery in the craft of macaronship.

And, OMG, their s'mores cookie?! THEIR S'MORES COOKIE! Just stop. This may be a bold thing I am about to say here, but I think they make the best macarons in town. The flavour profiles are some of the most unique flavours I have ever seen packed into a cookie. This dessert truck is small but mighty. Can't recommend this place enough for everyone with a sweet tooth.

Sweet Life, to me, is like coming home…read more While growing up, we'd come here after pretty much anything positive to celebrate. Then, for years it was one of two places I both wanted to go to and take people to experience each time I visited. Now that I live here again, I strangely only get delivery. However, even saying the name brings on a childish grin (and possibly happy tears) to my eyes! It doesn't hurt that their key lime tart is my favorite dessert not called sorbet of all time. Oh, yes, they also have sorbet, and while it isn't on Wanderlust's level, I don't care. They execute every single thing with a level of precision and care that you just don't see often, and somehow do it in a way that feels welcoming! Thank you, Sweet Life, thank you.

Can't believe this is a patisserie in the States. They have so many beautiful and delicate sweets…read morethat could totally be seen in a patisserie in Tokyo or Hong Kong. I got the tiramisu and two pieces of chocolate. The tiramisu was a bit different from the ones made with ladyfingers. I think this one was made with chiffon cake instead, so the texture was a little bit dry for my liking. The flavor was good though, more on the chocolate side. I liked the earl grey chocolate, but man, I couldn't stand the little yellow dots on it. They reminded me of those little eggs from some insect that lays eggs on your clothes in the summer. The earl grey filling was nice, smooth and citrusy. The passionfruit chocolate was really cute, kinda had the look of a quail egg shell. The filling was a bit more sour compared to the earl grey one. But in general both chocolates were quite similar. My partner had the zucchini pound cake, and he loved it a lot. I don't know much about Eugene, as we were just passing through on our road trip, but I'd definitely recommend people come here when they visit Eugene.

We went into Noisette Pastry Kitchen to take a quick looksee and told them we would be back after…read morelunch. They probably didn't believe us, but we are people of our word (when it comes to food, anyway). I was vascillating between the croissant and the palmier. I agonized over getting the croissant or the palmier. I couldn't get both because I was too full from our Cuban lunch. "Save one for later", one might say. To that I say, "Pshaw". My SO put me out of my self imposed misery by ordering a croissant, which afforded me the opportunity to get the palmier. Palmiers are one of my favorite pastries/cookies (which one is it?). My SO once bought me a half burnt palmier and I quickly ate it without one compaint. I never buy those containers of mini palmiers at Costco because they would be gone very quickly and I would feel very guilty. I know my palmiers. Croissants, on the other hand, are how I judge a bakery, if they happen to make croissants. I don't think I'm super snobby, but I know a good croissant when I eat one (good for me, anyway). Noisette's croissant had buttery flaky layers on the outside with a moist and tender inside. This was as awesome as a croissant gets. The palmier was different from any other I've had. It was almost one inch thick (which is about twice as thick as your standard bakery palmier). The innermost layers were slightly tender, sort of like the inside of a croissant, but not quite. What a wonderful and new experience in eating my beloved palmier. Thank you Noisette's. Oh yeah, all the other pastries and food looked pretty darn good too, haha. Please keep this place in business for the next time we're back in Eugene.

I found this place on Yelp, which seemed promising, but we had a mediocre experience…read more The place was slammed on a Sunday and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Chairs and stools are metal/wood - does not appear to be a cafe you spend a long time relaxing. We grabbed 3 pastries/baked goods. The tomato galette was tasty, but very watery in the middle. Our hand pie was very cold in the center, but we suffered through it. The little almond brown butter cake thing was great. I would go early on a weekday if ever again.

Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

Service was very good, but a little on the slow side. It wasn't bad, though, as the vibe of the restaurant is relaxed. We both ordered the Smoked Pork Chop (sweet potato purée, huckleberry jus, roasted brussel sprouts, pecans & bacon). It was cooked nicely and was enjoyable to eat. I would have preferred more of the huckleberry jus and more brussel sprouts, but can't complain about the quality of the food. In short, it was delicious, but could have been even better with just a few enhancements. Price was reasonable when compared to comparable restaurants in Salem and Portland. I'll return again for a different dish.

Highly recommend if you are looking for something exceptional

And yes, though this is my first pizza in Eugene, it's amazing pizza. And I live in the Bay Area so I have something to compare it to. The pepperoni slice was perfect. Huge pieces of pepperoni done just right, and such an amazing thin crust. I got my wine from the wine place a few steps away which was also delicious. And then I was decadent and had coffee cake and a cookie for dessert. Also just great. But go here for the vibe. They people that work there are charming and fun. This place is full of love.

We arrive and find a walk up window is the only way to purchase anything…read more The service person wasn't enthusiastic or energetic and almost seemed like they didn't enjoy being there. It is hard to see any of the offerings and the goods that we were able to see were unlabeled and unpriced. For us, shopping for baked goods is a visual experience. We had to squint through a glass door at an angle into a glass cabinet with reflections obstructing the view of the products The blueberry scone was light on blueberries but the glaze added a sweetness and some flavor. The Mushroom gouda turnover was a hot pastry that was flaky and had a nice buttery taste. It was a very flavorful combination that worked quite well.

I only came to get a sandwich but also got a strawberry macaron for my kiddo since she loves them. I got the Foxtrot sandwich, and I have to say it's one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. I wasn't sure I'd like the basil-hazelnut pesto--I don't like filberts--but you couldn't actually taste that signature hazelnut flavor. It was also really filling, and I only ate half of it in that sitting. I was really sad when I realized after I left Eugene that I left the second half in my sister's refrigerator. They usually make it with focaccia, but they'd run out the afternoon I stopped in so I chose sourdough instead and you know, I'd probably ask for it on sourdough again instead of the focaccia. An update, since I started this review in April 2026 and hadn't posted it yet as of August 2026 (but will today!): I had the summer BLT and it was delicious. It comes with micro greens as a side by default, but I paid extra for the frites instead. It was a very filling meal, and I'm glad I made it my choice this time! My sister got the fish and chips, which she wasn't as happy with, so next time she'll stick to the steak frites. Service was great. They have some nice quality foods for sale in the place--not a huge bit of merchandise, but a good selection. They also apparently have a happy hour daily from 3-5 with specials. There's a lot of seating, and on the nice days they have quite a few tables outside. Parking is a little trickier. There's retail on the first floor, but a few flors of apartments above, so the parking lot is split in half between the apartments and the restaurants. It took a few minutes and a few spins around the lot (plus checking street availability) but I got lucky with a space. But there's lots of residential streets around so you'll be able to find parking somewhere.

Wanted something sweet while exploring downtown and this cafe provided a great pick-me-up…read more There's plenty of street parking nearby. Cafe is pet friendly. Nice cozy interior with lots of seating. There were a good amount of people working on laptops at the tables, and they also had comfy couches as well. Peaceful ambiance. I ordered a almond milk tea with oat milk (hot). The almond flavor wasn't overpowering or artificial tasting. The drink was very pleasant and had just the right amount of sweetness. The taro latte with boba (iced) was also refreshing with a decent taro flavor. The cafe has an extensive menu of steeped tea flavors that we didn't get to try. They also have vegan cookies that looked quite good. Would come again next time I'm downtown.
