The pastries were absolutely delicious. Their gluten free scones are wonderful. Even with COVID19 precautions the service was fast and friendly. They were cautious about how they packaged gluten free from other foods. The gluten free selection is small but really good. I'll be back! read more

So rarely open and very expensive, but the fresh baked items are good. Nothing else to say

Cinnamon rolls are flaky deliciousness. Great bakery although a bit out of the way and needs better signage

The guy in the front was very welcoming and they have one of everything as far as pastries/desserts go read more

I cannot walk by without following my nose into Pure Decadence. Heidi makes everything the best. I made Wedding Cakes for years and have been known to be a good cook. I rarely bake anymore but hubby was begging me to make his favorite Oatmeal cookies. I stopped in at Pure Decadence and bought him one. He said it was the best cookie he ever ate. He's in the Dog House now. Seriously, if your gonna put it in your mouth, make sure it's worth it. With Heidi, it will be. read more

I absolutely love this place for a day when I have a sweet tooth they have so many good things to choose from. I guarantee you will find something that you fall in love with. Highly recommend this place. read more

I don't get how this place has such great reviews. We tried a few different desserts and all were not fresh. Most things sit in a refrigerated case. Not greeted very nicely, I'm not sure what that was about. Sorry, I won't be back. read more

Ooooooooooooiihhhh yeah!!!! Great selection of gluten free and vegan pastries and cookies!! Amazing French macarons!

Pure Decadence is amazing! I ordered cupcakes for my daughters birthday party, I just told the owner I wanted cupcakes with a "flower theme" and they turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined! Not only beautiful, but the most delicious cupcakes in town!! I cannot recommend enough. read more

I'm not a chocolate cake fan but I dreamt about theirs after I tasted it. They are great people ! You won't be disappointed !

Just picked up Italian Cream Cake and it is the best cake I have ever eaten!!! There is nothing she could have done to make it better. AMAZING Cake!!!! It is even better that the Italian Cream Cake I had several years ago. Thank you so much for making this awesome cake!!! read more

First, we love this bakery and it is definitely our go to. We tried a different bakery (highly rated) since we were desperate for some sweets on a Sunday. We spent a fortune there and ended up trashing most of what we purchased. Pure decadence is the best bakery in this town, hands down. It is reasonably priced, well flavored, and full of delicious pastries and deserts. While we knew this, our stint at the other bakery really reinforced our thoughts. I recommend anyone and everyone visit this little bakery. read more

Super yummy!!!! Love all their cookies and pastries. The chocolate chip cookies are super moist! Locally owned - lets help them survive all the covid closures! read more

This is my favorite bakery in Salem. Everything here is delicious! The turnovers are really good.

Chocolate. Marshmallow. Cookie. Really I should need to say no more. It is heaven in cookie form. I walked by regularly when going to get my mail and nerry a crumb crossed my lips. That was until I learned that Heidi makes an awesome chocolate marshmallow cookie. It totally takes me back to going to Cookies with Love with my mom when I was a kid. It has been fun getting to know Heidi and popping in to say hi or talk about different restaurants and such when I run in to get my mail at the Mail Depot. She has also been helpful when I have been faced with a recipe challenge involving a gluten free member of my family. Oh, that's another thing, she always has a selection of things that are gluten free, lactose free and vegan. Counter intuitive to my way of thinking, but I know these things are of concern to people and can it can be challenging to find desserts that meet these requirements. I have tried other things and had Heidi put together boxes of goodies for various parties and such, and everything has received rave reviews, but I will always come back to the chocolate marshmallow cookie. read more

This place is fantastic. The desserts are not only inventive and, as the name suggests, decadent, they also taste delicious, not suffering from the issue most bakeries have of somehow confusing sweetness or creativity with deliciousness. If you love desserts or coffee or being able to snack in the same building as a post office, Pure Decadence is worth checking out. read more

Heidi made our wedding cake and it was delicious and absolutely beautiful. The cake was more perfect than I ever could have dreamed of. We got chocolate with raspberry filling and strawberry cake with lemon mousse. It was moist and delicious. The cake tasting was such an experience...all the flavors were so delicious, it was hard to decide on a flavor. Thank you for helping to make our day so sweet! read more

Pure Decadence Pastries - My wedding cake was absolute perfection. You can't see but there are sparkles on the cake. I loved my wedding cake so much! - Bakeries Near Me - Salem, Oregon

We have gotten my son's birthday cakes from Heidi for the last 5 years and it has never been disappointing! She has so many different wonderful flavors it is hard to choose! We will be going through Heidi for our wedding cake this next year and it will be the hit of the wedding! All Heidi's other pastries are to die for! The variety of cookies, scones (seasonal cinnamon chip are awesome!) brownie bites, etc have all been so good! I love that she has a gluten and vegan free option. The pricing is very reasonable for everything and totally worth it! Every budget can afford a splurge on these wonderful treats. Both Heidi and Mike are very friendly and a pleasure to do business with. You will usually always get a good laugh with Mike working the counter. Once I found this bakery, I will never go anywhere else in Salem! read more

We moved to South Salem over the summer. This bakery is one of the first places we visited and we've been going back each week. I anxiously await for Thursday morning for her to open. They have the best scones I have ever eaten. My favorite is cranberry orange but yesterday we had pumpkin scones that were delicious! We shared a cheese danish. I have tried most of the cookies and they are very tasty. I also highly recommend the hand pies. read more

Everything I've tried has been delicious!! The scones are a favorite Marionberry scones are THE BEST. And the orange/cranberry also. And the lemon/poppyseed. read more

As a baker this is one of my favorite bakeries! I love supporting her small business. I've never been disappointed in my son absolutely loves all her goodies. When we were gluten-free it was also one of our favorite places to try and the gluten-free items are so so good he wouldn't even know they are gluten-free read more

They're not open long hours so you just plan ahead, but it's a really delicious neighborhood bakery that always has some low-sugar and gluten-free options for those who need some things. I really enjoy their sugar-free carrot cake muffins. Nice people too. If you want to custom order something for a holiday, you'll need to place your order early. I love to support family owned neighborhood businesses and this is a good one. read more

We love coming here! So so many pastries, cookies and treats to choose from. Something different every time. Always walking out with a bag of goodies. Never disappoints. Fresh. Delicious. Great friendly service. My favorites are the lemon bars, scones, hand pies and pecan snowball cookies!!! read more

Pure Decadence Pastries - Cake Pops! - Bakeries Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Oh. My. Gosh.!! I didn't know bakeries like this existed anymore. I should rephrase and call it a 'speciality bakery'. If you love bear claws, like I do, you will not find any better than here! The croissants are to die for also. I can go on and on but you probably get the picture. This place is the greatest find I've had in a very very long time! read more

I'm new to the area and happily discovered this little shop when mailing a package- drawn in by the amazing aromas. Wow- what a nice surprise!!! I ordered a Yule log for Christmas- sight unseen- and was blown away by it. Not only was it beautiful, but it was moist and delicious!! I've had Yule logs from other bakeries through the years that were disappointing- but not this time! I've never given a Yelp review before but this needed to be said! read more

Oh my goodness! Pretty sure I found a little slice of heaven. This place is wonderful. The marionberry scone was the best scone I've ever tasted..however the cherry turnover was to die for!! I found out that at the end of the day (4-5) they sell the pastries and other goodies for $1 each! I've set my alarm as a reminder since I'm only in town for a week and I want to try as many as possible. I highly recommend this lovely establishment. Try it, you won't be sorry! read more

This little bakery is located inside the Mail Depot on Liberty St. They offer fine pastries such as eclairs, tarts and cakes; plus the usual danishes, scones, coffee cakes, cookies, cupcakes, etc. They also have a small offering of ice creams and beverages. There is enough room to eat your treats in-store if you wish to, but the atmosphere isn't that of a coffee shop... it's more of a grab and go place. The owners are friendly and cheerful. I've had their raspberry coffee cake, marionberry empanadas, and a variety of scones; all delicious. My husband found their scones a little dry for his taste; to each his own. By the way, their scones (and maybe danishes and cookies too, I forget) are only $1 during the last hour they're open, 5-6. I don't think they have the same deal on Saturday since they close earlier. read more

Shhhh ... if word gets out, this hidden treasure will have a line out the door. No joke. The name alone got my attention. Once in the door, I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Nobody makes these goodies anymore (except maybe my favorite aunt). I HAD to splurge and do a sampler. First ... The Trail Mix Cookie. Larger than average size cookie with some real substance. With nuts, seeds, oats, chocolate chips, raisins, peanut butter and more, this is a healthy snack. read more

Always first quality pastries and the most lovely cakes in Salem. Heidi bakes for special diets as well and her work is super yummy.

This is a wonderful place to have coffee and a delicious pastry! The selection of goodies is amazing and everything is so beautifully made. It's clear the baker uses top quality ingredients and puts such care and skill into her craft. In addition to enjoying the pastries in this pleasant, immaculate shop, I've placed two special orders and they were perfect. Pure Decadence is a treasure! read more

Gluten Free Bakery items are Amazing! Great custom orders for gluten free sugar cookies and cupcakes!! Love, Love, Love the Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Scones! read more

I ordered a vegan grad cake 9" to feed 25 people. The cake was beautifully decorated, way better than I expected. Very pleased. But the cake when cut, fell apart, the frosting slid off, it was embarrassing to cut in front of people. It took 3 people to keep it from falling, while being cut. The cake was so heavy, I know it was vegan/gf, but it was the consistency of dry banana bread. The flavor of the frosting and filling were good. But more went in the garbage then into my guests. For $60, I was really disappointed. read more

Ordered 8" cake and cupcakes to match for a 100th birthday party. Just beautiful and scrumptious. Everyone, including the caterer, wanted to know who made the cakes. Fabulous! Thank you so much!! read more

I have the torture of walking past this business several times a week to pick up my mail, as they are housed in the same building as the Mailbox Depot. Everything here is delicious, but my favorite is the bacon cheddar rolls. They are to die for. So good. I just tried the macaroons recently. The cookies, the cakes, oh, and don't forget Nanaimo bars! And to top it off the owners are very friendly and helpful. read more

Heidi makes the best cakes that I have ever had. When I start eating gluten free, I expected the cakes to not be as moist and fluffy. To my surprise there were outstanding, if I didn't know the cake was gluten free, I wouldn't believe that it was. I have been buying cakes from her for a few years and she never disappoints, her cakes are always amazing. read more
