Let me preface this: Sweet Life Pâtisserie is one of, if not the best, places for dessert in Eugene, Oregon. I love them, so when I was in Eugene for the Conan O’Brien show, I had to stop and try their pie, because, for all the times I went there in college, I never had their pie – I always shared with the wife, who likes their cakes. I tried their traditional apple pie.
Presentation: Best part of this pie. It looked great, very clean, beautiful slice.
Crust: It looked great, but there was way too much sogginess going on. The edge crust was too soft as well, not enough crispiness in this crust overall.
Filling: Well, this is not the style of apple pie filling I like. I understand some people might appreciate it, but not me. The apples were too crispy for my taste, I like them a little softer. The filling did have a nice tartness to it, though, which I appreciate.
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 slices. Needless to say I was disappointed. I hope the case was that I just got a bad slice, one that was in the case for too long – but I don’t know. At this point, all I can say is, go to Sweet Life, but don’t go for the pie.
Check out Sweet Life Pâtisserie at 755 Monroe Street in Eugene, Oregon.

/ April 26, 2010Yep, I’m going to stand by my rating. I will do a post to better explain my rating system – but basically – if you gave me, roughly half a pie, or 5 pieces, how many of those pieces would I eat? This pie, I’d probably only eat two of them.
