A friend warned me that Saturday market was happening so parking might be difficult but the 30 minute and one hour slots in front of the bakery are very helpful. I ordered a 20 ounce Matcha with water, a 20 ounce iced black black tea infused with vanilla bean -- it's incredibly refreshing! -- and one of their amazing freshly squeezed orange juices. It's a bakery to be sure but don't let that fool you: the beverages here are just THAT GOOD. One drink doesn't feel like it's going to be enough... and in my experience, it's usually not. There are staff are all very helpful...there but today one young woman stood out fif only I could remember her name!) but she has glasses with hair tied back and was going through the line taking orders to ensure that customers were greeted and welcomed and had a chance to place their orders in advance. Their jalapeño biscuits are outstanding -- don't skip the honey butter... it deserves to be slathered on -- and if you're looking for comfort food, try their banana bread loaf or their zucchini bread. One more thing that I find really wonderful here: at 2 o'clock there espresso goes on sale. Yes. You heard that right. So for those of us who feel that coffee should happen all through the day... This is your place for an espresso deal.

Palace Bakery (now known as Palace Coffee Roasters) is has been around Eugene for decades, but I've…read morenever actually been here until recently. When I was growing up we didn't really visit bakeries, I don't drink coffee, and my mom was a black coffee only sort of person, so not really much need. Whilst visiting Saturday Market I stopped in with my tired, grumpy toddler to get her a hot chocolate. I got myself one too, and it was excellent. The whipped cream especially was nice; I am positive it's made from heavy whipping cream and it was so yummy I just wanted to eat some whipped cream. I know my kiddo enjoyed hers, especially if the state of her face and clothes was any indication. I've had a lot of hot chocolate, including from Mindy's in Chicago which many like to claim as the best (it's good, but honestly a bit too thick for me), but I think Palace may have the best. The secret is that they use ganache for their hot chocolate. It's the ganache that they sell in the shop, so it's easy to acquire. The staff member mentioned that she likes to dip strawberries in it, and she said they keep it in the fridge and it stays good for a while. I'm not sure I'll pick some up this time since we're heading into the warm weather months, but we'll be getting some (or having my sister send some) as we move into autumn for sure. I will say that if you get hot chocolate you will need to check work--TWICE I asked for whipped cream, at two different visits, and they didn't put any on (though they left space for it, so either fill it with chocolate or add the cream please). I was planning to get a maple bar here, but when I saw them changed my mind--they didn't look particularly appetizing. They had several other pastries though so it was an easy swap out for a kouign amann, my favorite pastry, and a marionberry strudel. Both were great. The marionberry strudel was particularly special since marionberries are more tart blackberry variant native to Marion County, Oregon; marionberries are rarely found outside Oregon, and if so not much beyond the border states. It was overflowing with marionberry and hit the spot, and my little one was a fan too. There was a good amount of seating, too, spread across two rooms. There's an entrance both from the Park Street side and Pearl; on the west side you'll get to see the bakers hard at work. They had some huge breakfast burritos that looked really good, but since I wasn't heading home immediately we took a pass on them--this time. Parking is street only, though it's not unlikely that you'll find parking on Pearl, Broadway, Oak, or Park.

My wife was looking for a local bakery to order a birthday cheesecake from and found La Dolce Vita…read morethrough Google. With all 5-star reviews that raved about the quality and taste of the cheesecakes, my wife reached out via email about one week in advance. Bonnie, the owner, was quick to respond and they ended up communicating via phone to work through the details. They talked through the options and my wife chose a 9" vanilla cheesecake topped with a strawberry and blueberry compote which also included whole berries. Bonnie committed to having the cheesecake ready for pickup beginning on Saturday at noon. She explained that her cheesecakes are available for pickup at the J. Scott Cellars tasting room where her husband is the owner. Since we no longer live in the Eugene area, Bonnie was helpful in giving my wife logistical references to where J. Scott Cellars is within the 5th Street Public Market area (207 E. 5th Avenue, Suite 105). We planned our morning around picking up the cheesecake and arrived shortly after noon on Saturday. The young lady at the counter was friendly and helpful and immediately went to pick up the cheesecake from the back. The price was exactly as Bonnie had quoted, we paid and were on our way after peeking at it, it looked incredibly delicious! When we were ready to celebrate, we began slicing it up and oohed and awed over it. Of the six of us that were lucky enough to be on the receiving end of Bonnie's cheesecake, at least 4 of us are seasoned cheesecake people and let me tell you, Bonnie's cheesecake does not disappoint. Everything about it, the presentation, the flavor, the light, creamy texture and the delicious crust are all incredible. We all quickly agreed that the cheesecakes from La Dolce Vita would be our new "go to" when visiting Eugene. In addition, the prices are very reasonable for an artisan cheesecake. The website allows you to select from either a 9" diameter or 6" diameter and shares a variety of available cheesecake flavors: Berry Swirl (choice of raspberry, strawberry or mixed berry), Creamy Coconut, Chocolate or Chocolate Espresso, Kahlua or Baileys Irish Cream, Key Lime, Lemon, Peanut Butter, Pumpkin, Salted Caramel with Toffee Topping, Vanilla, and states special requests for any flavor not listed can be made. In addition, chocolate ganache can be added to coconut, peanut butter or vanilla cheesecakes, and blueberry, strawberry or raspberry compote can be added to lemon or vanilla cheesecakes. If you are looking for a local bakery that prepares artisan cheesecakes look no further than Bonnie and La Dolce Vita. We are still thinking about just how incredible the cheesecake was.
