A perfect dose of the Sweet Life
Review by Liz Carson and Keri Spangler
This quaint little patisserie is here to serve you. With a
friendly smile, the staff of the Sweet Life Patisserie serves a
case full of decadence to help fulfill your sweet tooth.
In the heart of downtown Eugene, the shop offers luscious
and beautiful desserts made from scratch, ranging from petit
fours to five-tiered wedding cakes.
To complement any torte or cookie, the Sweet Life also of
fers a wide variety of beverages. Coffee lovers will enjoy well
priced mochas and other specialty drinks. For the non-coffee
drinkers, there are the popular Italian sodas and refreshing
iced teas.
One of the many aspects that set the Sweet Life apart from
other cafes is their ability to cater to all appetites. They offer
a wide variety of vegan and wheat-free desserts and pastries.
This shop makes a perfect fit into the Eugene community
with its natural ingredients and laid-back ambiance.
We were further impressed once we tasted the sweet life.
The freshness of the strawberries in the seasonal fruit tart ful
filled all expectations. The strawberries combined with the
custard made it a taste to savor.
The other dessert we sampled was a richly crafted choco
late dream. The chocolate cookie crust nicely accented the
almond filling. The density of the torte will leave you satis
fied but with half of it still on the plate.
While enjoying the finely crafted desserts, the choice of
decorations caught our eye. Pictures of tempting cakes hung
I
from the walls. In the midst of the desserts and pastries are
selections of breads, candy and even clothing. Displayed
above the pictures are t-shirts with an image of a three-tiered
cake under the words of the shop’s name. These eye-catch
ing shirts can be a nice souvenir from your trip into the Sweet
Life.
