The Lovin' Oven

We stopped in for a visit after hearing my sister in law vamp about the cakes. One door to go in and there was a group of women just standing in the way gabbing (still in the way on the way out). They could have moved to anyplace in the large inside and not been a traffic block. Service at the counter was very friendly. We picked up several things to go so we could see what we favored. We tried the "giant" cinnamon roll($5)...not giant and not very cinnamon tasting. The cream cheese frosting was more like whipped sugar grease with cream cheese flavoring, sad. that was a no go. The Champagne and raspberry cake ($6), super dry and not very flavorful. The turtle cheese cake($6)...I was super excited to try this and it let me down. The crust is bland and a hint of burnt, the dollop of "chocola

After one of the ladies in my parents church group brought desserts from here, we decided to check it out. We ended up bringing home a few different treats and I have to say, the carrot cake was literally the best I've ever eaten. While in the bakery we ordered coffees and shared a cinnamon roll fresh from the oven, which was also amazing. Lovin oven is going to be the new go-to dessert spot. Previously, the go-to spot was another Salem staple, but they have since been dethroned. Not only were the desserts some of the best I've had, it was extremely reasonably priced. The bakery itself is a cozy spot. There are only a few tables, but it was very quaint. 12 out of 10 would recommend

I love this bakery…. I do not know why it took me 50 years of living in Salem to finally hear about this amazing bakery!! They are the best 💖

This is a little known (except local) bakery of the highest order. Everything they make it's exceptional. They have recently moved to a new location that allows a better retail sales area. They even have seating so you can enjoy your treat there. If you enjoy 7 layer cakes in many varieties, cheese cake in all flavors, or brownies of any sort you'll love this place! You can buy by the piece or a whole dessert and you can even arrange for custom creations.

Love the Lovin' Oven. Whenever we are in the area, we stop and purchase their yummy desserts. Many things to choose from. Just tried the marionberry cheesecake on our last visit, so delicious.
