Amazing sandwiches , coffee and sweet treats . Basically everything you want from a bakery ! Quality of the products they use is outstanding (deli meats , coffee beans etc.) and they support local farms .

Coconut Macaroons my weakness... I was only allowed one not by choice but the person in front order first. Mexican chocolate cookie is moist and soft nice ???? treat with Chi ☕️

Love the ham and Brie sandwich ! Get in on a ciabatta roll, but ask for mustard or something on it too or else it's a little too dry and bland!

This bakery is awesome, a must visit if you're in Salem. The sticky bun was probably my favorite, but the molasses cookie and the lemon Danish were also great.

Hal Mackins

The staples are great; the daily specials take it to another level. Try the trail bread (Sat.) and English muffin bread (Thurs.)!

Easily one of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. The cinnamon buns and lavender butter cookies are sublime!

The Sticky Buns are without a doubt the best. A wonderful mixture of cinnamon goodness, butter, and nuts

Amazing breads of all kinds! My fave is their sourdough (reminiscent of San Francisco!) Great sandwiches ; glad I had a knife when I took mine picnicking , as they are large even when sliced in half. Read more
