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.

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 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.

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.

I have been harboring a desire for "drive thru sushi" for years, but alas, their drive thru is drinks only. As for the food, the veggie taco was very tasty.

Sassy Cupcakes are the best in the west. Seriously, they taste real, homemade, delicious and satisfying, unlike the ordinary bakery cupcake. They are moist, chewy, full of flavor and come in irresistible varieties which makes it impossible to choose just one! Sassy Cupcakes are made with love. Gretchen Walker is as winning as her cupcakes. Giving your business to her will not only insure that you get an outstanding product (guaranteed to make you the talk of your friends) but you will be delighted as punch when you meet the maker-baker! She is fun! She will put a smile on your face and make you doubly glad you took the time to connect with Sassy Cupcakes! Mmmm-mmm delicious, super cute and fun! read more

The Sassy Cupcake is the BEST place to get your celebration treats! SO many flavors to choose from that it makes it difficult to narrow them down. They were the centerpiece of a baby shower that we threw and they were all consumed before the opening of the gifts. I should have ordered more...I'll remember that next time I throw a party. They are also just nice treat for my coffee break or for a sweet finish to dinner. I don't like baking so having a quality dessert like The Sassy Cupcake is a great way to have my Cup-cake and eat it too. read more

Holy cow... Gretchen's got the cupcake down! They are mini's which is the perfect ratio of cake to frosting, but don't let their size fool you! The Original Sassy Cupcake is UNBELIEVABLE, it's this chewey-buttery base with cream cheese frosting and a fresh raspberry on top. So good. Her flavors are great and I swear she can make anything into a cupcake. She is a super sweet lady and fun to work with :) do it... Use her! read more
