I've been in twice to try things, but the timing hasn't been right to sample the evening entrees like pizza. The owner has an excellent temperament and is more conscientious about keeping customers apprised of developments, via the internet and social media, than is usual for small businesses.

This is our first place on that recommended list and so far I'd say we agree--It was a great cinnamon roll! I'm definitely glad I didn't get it with the additional icing on top as the glaze they provided was sweet enough for our tastebuds. Don't blink or you'll miss this small Jefferson establishment. We drove right past it the first time. Enjoy!

Comfortable seating and a great spot to sit down and study or work. Highly recommend the chocolate croissant, but you really can't go wrong!

We got here at 12:40 and they were already prepping for closing time. They close at 1pm…read more There was very little left, but they were welcoming and offered us to stay as long as we like. The store is well lit with large windows and good lighting. Floors and tables are clean as is the public restroom. There is a real down home charm with the pictures, wallpaper and furniture, almost as if you were in a victorian era shop. This whole area feels very historical and is visible in the architecture of the structures in town. We opted for the last few treats available and were very pleasantly surprised. The Ham and gruyere cheese pastry was absolutely delicious. The ham flavor was rich. Not being familiar with the cheese, the flavor is mild but unmistakable. The pastry itself was very flaky, buttery and light. We arrived at closing and had very little choice of the treats that were left,, but what was left was so good that we are going to note this spot for a return trip during regular hours.

You won't regret coming here and I am so happy that I ended up finding this place.

We were heading to visit family in the area for dinner and were asked to bring dessert. While…read moredriving through Stayton, my wife remembered The Lovin Oven from years ago. We also recalled that there was some connection to Gerry Frank's Konditorei in Salem, which immediately caught our interest. After doing a little research, we discovered there's a deep and fascinating history linking the two businesses. The Lovin Oven began in 1983, when founder Doreen Helmemn operated the bakery out of her home. In 1993, the business expanded into a small storefront in downtown Stayton after being purchased by Mike and Valerie Schultz. Mike, who was formerly a logger, was personally taught cake decorating by the original founder, an origin story that adds to the bakery's charm and authenticity. One of the most interesting details we learned is that The Lovin Oven is the primary baker for Gerry Frank's Konditorei in Salem, a partnership that dates back to the 1980s. That relationship grew even stronger in 2017, when the Schultzes became co-owners of the Konditorei. Many people enjoying desserts at high-end restaurants throughout the region may not realize that their cakes were baked in Stayton. The Lovin Oven is especially well known for its Champagne Raspberry cake, Marionberry cheesecake, and an impressive variety of gourmet bars and cookies. Their menu also includes cakes, cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls, brownies, cupcakes, and more, something for just about every dessert preference. The bakery itself is housed in an industrial-style building that includes the production bakery, a storefront, and a small seating area where you can enjoy your treats on site. The outside is a unique with a black painted brick exterior. The customer facing area of the inside is industrial. We picked up a selection of cupcakes to take to dinner and were quickly back on the road. The cupcakes were a hit, everyone loved them, and they disappeared fast. It felt great to share something local with such a rich backstory. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we're glad we stopped. If you find yourself passing through Stayton or looking for high-quality desserts in the Willamette Valley, The Lovin Oven is absolutely worth checking out.
