While we were on the wait list for dinner across the street at Gianni's we decided to walk around and take a look at the other stores in the area here by the UO campus. I had the intentions just to browse until I saw their cheese cake brownie. I had no idea what Gianni's had on their dessert menu and I didn't care to wait and find out. I chose that before we went to eat, and we had dinner I dug in and it was love at first bite. Since I'm not a coffee drinker I never step into small cafes on my own or look around to check out pastries, but I'm glad I made the exception here. read more

Sweet Life Petite is the mini-version of the original Sweet Life. This one's located on Campus (well, not technically on campus but like right by campus). It is indeed pretty small; there's an "in" door and an "out" door so and since the line can form pretty quickly. They're pretty fast though, so even if the line is close to the door (which it was once when I visited) you'll still be out within about 10 minutes or fewer. One of my favorite things from Sweet Life are their morning pastries--specifically, their cinnamon roll and the lemon cream bun. Both are amazing, and whilst the cinnamon roll is my personal favorite, if you have to choose get the lemon cream bun. It's different from something you've tried before; you can't get one of these everywhere and it's amazing. Their tiramisu is good too, and the some of their other cakes. Check out their specials--there's always something good to choose from. This location has no dedicated parking, just a few spots on the street (shared with Prince Puckler's, the pizza place, and other businesses around). There's a lot of outdoor seating, nice for warm summer evenings. read more

Sweet little pastry shop - cakes, pastries, coffee menu. There are four picnic tables outside so plan to eat outside or take it to-go. I got a cappuccino, the Chai Spice Cheesecake Slice & London Fog Cake Slice, pretty big pieces and very decadent. Would definitely come back to try different desserts! I appreciate that the tables were covered by umbrellas because it was raining. Service was friendly and quick! read more

Delicious and worth the wait. The line went faster than i thought it would too. Nice diversity of choices .

Ordered a chocolate eclair and was very.disappointed..The chocolate did not taste like chocolate at all and the custard filling inside was totally devoid of any flavor. I did not like this place. read more

I didn't know this cute little shop existed! I've only been to the other location. It was a fun surprise to see as we were looking for a dessert spot after dinner. We walked in & the aromas were enticing. It was nice and warm inside. Lots of options for it being 630pm which was a great surprise as well. My favorite cake was fully in stock! The rhapsody. It's a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache & raspberry topping. It is so delicious & not overly sweet despite the description. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and sweet and we were in and out so quick. They are nice an efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed my cake slice & can't wait to finish it tomorrow! read more

Always so good the quality of the food is amazing. Love that their options change monthly for variety. The service is pretty quick which I appreciate. Wish they would warm the pastries for you However the Dubai chocolate bar is definitely not worth the $20 dollars. Barely tastes the pistachio. read more

Delicious food. Great selection. Staff are super nice. I wish they had Wi-Fi. I would go more often.

I went here for the first time today after the line at their main location was way too long. I was worried it would be long here too, but when I walked in there was only one person in front of me so I didn't have to wait at all. I got four things today: a slice each of the the pomegranate champagne cake, the tiramisu, and the raspberry cheesecake, and a chocolate strawberry cupcake. The person who helped me was super nice and helpful and quickly got me what I wanted. The cashier was ready to find me up immediately. I was in and out in less than five minutes. As always, the treats I got were amazing. I got them all for Valentine's Day so my partner and I split them and have leftovers for tomorrow. Everything was baked to perfection and had amazing flavor. There aren't any places to sit and eat inside but I always get my treats to go so it doesn't really matter to me. There's one gender neutral restroom but I didn't go in so I can't speak to how clean it is. There's only street parking and depending on the time and day you go it may be hard to get a spot, but if you park a block or two down you can park on a residential street and it's fine. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area. If the line at the main Sweet Life location is too long, make the drive to this one - it is so worth it! I will be back! read more

I had Josephine - crisp pastry shell with custard inside with berry sauce on the side. Personally, I did not want the berry sauce so I just had the custard with the pastry shell. It was sooo good! It did not take more than five minutes to finish this giant custard. Despite this being a nice Saturday late afternoon, we were able to secure a table outside the shop. All the other tables were occupied. Line got long very fast inside the shop as well but it gets short very fast. Nice little spot for great desserts to get! read more

Sweet Life Petite - Josephine (berry sauce not in the picture) $5.50 4/22/2023 - Desserts Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

A cute little dessert shop close to the UO campus, sandwiched between Prince Puckler's Ice Cream and Hey, Neighbor Pizza. After eating dinner downtown, I wanted a sweet treat and found this nearby and still open. Upon entry you see large dessert cases filled with pies, cakes, tarts, cookies, etc. so many delicious choices! Choices, choices, choices---after much debate, We got the chocolate eclair and the malted banana cake. Both were really delicious. I thought the malted banana cake was exceptionally tasty...really good banana flavor, very light and the frosting was not overly sweet. The choux pastry was a little soft, but it could have gotten that way due to transportation--we took our treats to go instead of eating on premise. The staff is quite friendly and when asked for recommendations, without hesitation we were given the favorites. This is a smaller version of their main shop so, there is no inside seating and you have to sit outside in the covered patio. If you're looking something to satisfy your sweet tooth and you're close to campus--check it out. Note that the espresso bar shuts down about 9pm, so you won't be able to get anything hot to drink, not even tea. read more

Sweet life is an adorable local bakery with two locations in Eugene. This one is the smaller version by the UO campus. The employees are always so welcoming and friendly here. Although this is the smaller store they still have a pretty large variety of baked goods. I like that you can get individual slices of cake here. They also serve coffee and drinks which is nice. There's no indoor seating but plenty of outdoor. They also do custom cakes and desserts for occasions like birthdays, holidays, and more. Definitely try this spot if you haven't yet! read more

The little offspring of Sweet Life on Monroe in Eugene. With excellent service and a great selection, and easier parking. I love to sit outside on one of their four picnic benches and drink some tea with a sweet treat on a sunny afternoon. Perfection. This time I opted for a lime coconut petit four (small sponge layer cake, frosted with icing) which was super delicious. And a cup of tea. Love love love read more

Sweet Life Petite - Lime coconut petit four (mini layer sponge cake) with a tea, enjoyed outside - Desserts Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The cake sponge is dense and tastes like it was pre frozen. Prices are premium for not great products.

In all the times I've gone I've never had anything bad, all the food is amazing, you can pre order amazing birthday cakes that are always show stoppers. The service is always good, there usually is a line but the workers always get to everyone in a timely matter, and to be honest it's worth the wait. Grandmas house vibes, and it always smells amazing inside, 10/10 best bakery, goodies place in Eugene. Parking lot is the only hard thing about this place. read more

The service here is incredible. The young man who took our order/made our coffees was so positive and kind that it made me want to go above and beyond to be kind back to him. That's so lovely and so rare. Plus, the coffee options are plentiful and the coffee tasted great. I had an oat milk vanilla latte and my mom had an egg nog latte. Both 5 stars. read more

I came here to get a sweet treat. There are a bunch of desserts from croissants to cake slices. I got the mini cake bites are they were solid, but it was pretty expensive. My friends got the creme brulee, tiramisu, and some sort of puff with a cherry sauce. I probably wouldn't come back here, but I am glad I tried it. read more

Stopped in to get my annual birthday slice of German Chocolate cake and left disappointed. They didn't have any GC and 90% of their available slices were either cheesecake or a cream based cake. I'm sure it's staffing /or supply chain issues but Sweet Life has always had the best in town. I tried two days later and it was the same...better luck next year I guess. read more

Went on an outing to this lovely little shop. Keep in mind with as lovely as the food is the seating is outside and food is packaged to go. So there are canopies and tables to sit at though outside. So keep weather in your plans but do plan on trying their cheesecake of the month fla read more

We came on a rainy Sunday morning and ordered a chai latte with oat milk, cappuccino, apple bread pudding warmed up, brownie, and two ham & Swiss croissants warmed up. The chai latte was a little too black peppery for me, and the apple bread pudding wasn't super warm to combat the cold weather, but overall, everything was good. The line was short, and the staff were efficient. We got a table under an umbrella outside (there are no inside tables). read more

I've literally never had to throw a way a piece pie after one bite because it was such a sugar overdose. This place was the bomb 20 years ago. Sad to see a local favorite go downhill! read more

I love Sweet Life! I have been going here for 13 years now. Excellent quality. Amazing variety. Something new they have started are surprise bags. You can get a bag filled with variety or a whole cake in it for 14-20$ it just depends on what they had overstock of. They don't always have surprise bags available, but when they do, I can't resist read more

We stumbled upon this place accidentally and we are so glad we did. First, the staff are so friendly. They have regular bakery items as well as dairy/egg free and gluten free. I got the mocha cake and it was to die for!! Chocolate cake with an espresso filling that actually tasted like espresso and not the weird "coffee flavored" taste baked items can have sometimes. Also had a chocolate ganache. Soooooo good. My husband got the pumpkin pie and said it was amazing! I didn't even manage to get pictures because we were so busy stuffing our faces. read more

Wow this place has an awesome selection and everything looks amazing. I got several sweet items and was happy with all of them, will have to try the croissants next time. The staff was friendly as well. Only real downside was the price, this place ain't cheap! read more

Quick service, ordered two matchas, both were slightly gritty. been here before it has a great chais, and great pastries. Definitely check this place out if you're in Eugene, excellent ambience check it out read more

This is another of our favorite, must visit places in Eugene. We have tried a lot of their offerings, have liked it all. This time we got a slice of the German chocolate cake, Chocolate Mousee, Chocolate Soufflé Torte. We loved them all. Other favorites include Hazelnut milk chocolate, creme brulee, various petite fours, etc. read more

BEST iced Americano in Eugene! Complements a beautiful, sunny day of Track and Field at Hayward. Crushed ice, no bitterness, and the right amount of caffeine. Conveniently located next to a pizza house, Mexican torta restaurant, and a gourmet ice cream shop! read more

Pretty nice spot very crowded but for good reason. Ocean roll goes ham, big croissant with thyme was also very nice portion not just a half slice of ham. Coffee was solid definitely better pastries though. Overall nice spot to go if you are shopping in the area. read more

Perfect mini version of Sweetlife right by the university. They still have a solid selection. Remember the day old pastries are half off too! read more

This is a really cute little place with lots of sweet treats and it's right next to campus! They are also next to a couple resturuaunts and could make for a fun desert after. I've come here a few times and have never been disappointed. Definitely come earlier in the day though for the freshest pastries, I have gotten pastries here from the end of the day that weren't as great. There are lots of vegan/glutin free options to choose from as well. read more

Loved the amount of vegan options to choose from. I only tried the boysenberry pie and carrot muffin- both which were divine! I'll be back to try more desserts. The perk is this spot is right next door to Hey Neighbor, so pick up dessert to go after dinner :) read more

I love the concept of a by the slice pie and cake dessert shop! They have cookies, ice cream, coffee, and pastry goods across the spectrum. They sell whole cakes/pies and have slice options as well. On a Sunday night they were busy! We waited in line 2-3 minutes and our orders came out within 10 minutes. We didn't get a bad pastry, so definitely recommend mixing and matching. Yum, thanks Eugene for this sweet little gem. read more

Great food, great service. Very busy but they moved the line along rather quickly. They were out of the German chocolate cake I wanted. The server talked me into the vegan German chocolate cake. She was correct. It was very good. read more

How excellent this bakery truly is! I not only loved how delicious my raspberry lemon whoopie pie was, but just how many seasonal options they have. I went with a bigger group and everyone got something different and nobody was unhappy at all. My best friend swears by their creme brulee and it certainly was delicious. My other companion swears by their carrot cake, though they had sold out by the time we had gotten there. The meringue cookies were beautiful and very delicious as well. Their cakes and pies all look scrumptious and if I wasnt already stuffed from dinner, I might've gotten more... read more

Great selection and fantastic desserts. The staff is always friendly and very helpfull

Smaller than the Sweet Life on Monroe, but has just about the same choice of breakfast croissants, including the savories, which are my favorite. Like the red pepper & feta croissant. They also have the Orange cardamom morning buns, which make a great dessert too, and the same excellent Americanos. Definitely a good place to stop for pastry if you are on campus, especially the east side. read more

The best cinnamon rolls I've had in all of Eugene! Also tried the red velvet cream cheese, Whoopie pie that is also so amazing!!

Let's talk cookies: in general their cookies are a strange texture. If you are from the South the cookies are tougher than we like. However, the flavors are good. I suggest the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Amazing. Not as big of a fan of the ginger molasses. I like the old fashioned ginger molasses cookies my grandmother makes, more brown than black, thin, exceptionally chewy, large and round. These are thick, dry, and bitter. Not a fan but maybe it is cultural and this is how the ginger molasses cookies are made in the West. The pumpkin spice cookie is like a cake cookie. Very good. Definitely get the pumpkin spice. Let's talk desserts: read more

Nice addition to this small strip near campus for sweet treats! We often come here if our group of friends want to choose different things for dessert. Sweet life Petit is located right next to a tea bar and a famous ice cream shop. Sweet life Petit's wait time in line doesn't compare to it's original Sweet Life Patisserie location, but don't be surprised if you have to wait 5 mins or so before you order. There is only outdoor seating at this location. Not good if you're coming in the rainy winter, but a lovely ambiance in the summer when you're sitting on their picnic table under a cute string of lights. You can NEVER go wrong ordering any of their cheesecakes. Trust me, I've had them all. Overall, a good variety of dessert choices in a order-to-go style set up. We like to enjoy dessert here and the go for a walk around the neighborhood with our dog. read more
