Upon entering there is a counter filled with savory scones, croissants, cookies, and cinnamon rolls to name a few. I don't know everything they had because nothing was marked, but they had a nice variety. A small area had bread for sale including sourdough. There was a small area with seating on the side. I chose an unfrosted cinnamon roll, and my husband chose a chocolate glazed donut. The cinnamon roll was soft and with just the right amount of sweetness. I would have liked a small amount of frosting drizzle but they only had the other option of a heavily frosted cream cheese frosting. It still was so good! My husband's donut was very good, he said. I now wish I had bought a scone or something else to try. Alas I will have to come visit Sisters again, as I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

I grabbed a chocolate croissant and a multi-grain sourdough loaf (a host gift) before continuing on my way. So glad I did! Friendly service, excellent baked goods, and in a homey spot.

We ordered online and waited about 15 mins after the estimated time. The food was ok - we got the ham and veggie hot pockets and veggie hand pie, and sticky bun. We also purchased the ginger apple juice online but they didn't actually have it and just gave a plain apple juice (generic bottle), which was nothing special. The hot pockets and hand pies were unevenly seasoned - some were bland and others very salty. The sticky bun was kinda dry. Wouldn't go out of the way to get this in the future.

We were heading to visit family in the area for dinner and were asked to bring dessert. While…read moredriving through Stayton, my wife remembered The Lovin Oven from years ago. We also recalled that there was some connection to Gerry Frank's Konditorei in Salem, which immediately caught our interest. After doing a little research, we discovered there's a deep and fascinating history linking the two businesses. The Lovin Oven began in 1983, when founder Doreen Helmemn operated the bakery out of her home. In 1993, the business expanded into a small storefront in downtown Stayton after being purchased by Mike and Valerie Schultz. Mike, who was formerly a logger, was personally taught cake decorating by the original founder, an origin story that adds to the bakery's charm and authenticity. One of the most interesting details we learned is that The Lovin Oven is the primary baker for Gerry Frank's Konditorei in Salem, a partnership that dates back to the 1980s. That relationship grew even stronger in 2017, when the Schultzes became co-owners of the Konditorei. Many people enjoying desserts at high-end restaurants throughout the region may not realize that their cakes were baked in Stayton. The Lovin Oven is especially well known for its Champagne Raspberry cake, Marionberry cheesecake, and an impressive variety of gourmet bars and cookies. Their menu also includes cakes, cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls, brownies, cupcakes, and more, something for just about every dessert preference. The bakery itself is housed in an industrial-style building that includes the production bakery, a storefront, and a small seating area where you can enjoy your treats on site. The outside is a unique with a black painted brick exterior. The customer facing area of the inside is industrial. We picked up a selection of cupcakes to take to dinner and were quickly back on the road. The cupcakes were a hit, everyone loved them, and they disappeared fast. It felt great to share something local with such a rich backstory. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we're glad we stopped. If you find yourself passing through Stayton or looking for high-quality desserts in the Willamette Valley, The Lovin Oven is absolutely worth checking out.

The ambiance reminds me of the old candy shops I would go to on the Oregon coast, which brought back fond memories. It would be helpful if, instead of a large sign that said 'bakery,' it had the business name. Nonetheless, this place was great, and we will definitely be back.

There were no soft layers to pull apart, no spiral of cinnamon filling, and almost no cinnamon except for a thin strip at the bottom. The texture was dry, heavy, and crumbly, more like stale sweet bread than a fresh pastry. The lemon bar lacked the bright, tangy citrus flavor you'd expect, and while the chocolate croissant and churro croissant were visually appealing, they were mostly one-note and lacked richness or complexity. Overall, everything looked incredible, but the execution didn't match the presentation.
