Metropol Bakery - Eugene

I love the sourdough from Eugene Sauerteig. It's wonderfully sour, unlike some whole grain breads that barely taste like sourdough. They have some great options, but I wish there was a bit more of that sour flavor. The bakery also offers a very good selection of cakes, although the cake slices are a bit small for the price. They do give you a free slice of cake on your birthday, which is a nice touch. The staff is friendly, too!

There are only a few places in the world where I feel at ease enough to relax and take my time, and this is one of them. It’s a new bakery that offers generous sandwiches, and the staff is incredibly polite and attentive, especially toward older guests and those who may have difficulty hearing.

I bought a sausage breakfast sandwich from them this morning, and the sausage was overcooked and burnt. I would rather not spend $10 on a sandwich that I can't enjoy. Additionally, the woman at the front was quite rude to the customer ahead of me.

The bread is very well made, unfortunately the service was terrible, we preordered for picking up a dozen baguets for a party and when I arrived to get them, the staff took 30 minutes to confirm that I was in the store and give me the bread waiting for me. There were no other customers in the store. I will buy my bread from another location in the future.

Good breads, excellent croissants, excellent carrot cake (the only one I've ever really liked, but a bit more dense than most). If you want a ham and cheese croissant, either order ahead or call it in for pick up the day before. Otherwise they are gone! I always order ahead for everything.
