Additional items on the menu include coffee and some simple breakfast sandwiches. From my friend's suggestions I also grabbed a beef Patty when checking out. In the end I got a carrot cake which was dense and delicious. The cake was moist and the frosting wasn't too sweet. When I ate the beef Patty it reminded me of biting into Shepards pie, in a good way. Overall, I had a great experience. The woman who helped me was very nice and even told me about their cooking classes they're just starting to offer from 10 am to 4 pm ranging from decorating to baking. I would definitely come again!

Subpar Gluten Free Desserts!…read more If you are looking for quickly delivered baked goods, Sweet is wonderful. My review is of their gluten and dairy free goods - and not of their delivery service or presentation, which were excellent. I received their cupcakes, and a custom order birthday cake, as a surprise for my birthday. I had somehow forgotten, when mentioning in passing to my significant other that they deliver assorted cupcakes, just how dry and flavorless the cupcakes I've had from Sweet have been. The cupcakes and the cake are both incredibly dry and bland. Not only that, but the "seasonal mix" of cupcakes are just vanilla and chocolate. It tastes like the cake was made several days before it was delivered. Frosting is so so. Their other treats may be wonderful, but if you are eating gluten free/dairy free - seriously look elsewhere (Pure Pastry, Something Sweet Without Wheat, Flour.... lots of other local options).

Their gluten free (gf)/dairy free (df) donuts are also really good and actually preferred by many members of my family, as they are so moist and melt in your mouth. There are many options to choose from, along with monthly specials which are usually fun! Some of my favorites include their Boston cream, gf/df chocolate frosted, and their holiday themed donuts. My husband loves their gf/df glazed donut. Another big hit is their ginormous cinnamon roll! It's so flavorful and feeds many with its size. Their muffins are a huge hit and barely last in our house. Their bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel is also pretty good. My husband is picky about coffee and doesn't mind theirs. Sometimes they have cupcakes available and they are so moist, full of flavor, and one of my absolute favorite things to get. The staff is usually friendly, but there are some staff that aren't as friendly as others. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available, however it is pretty small and when the line is long it comes close to the tables.

A place that you would order your birthday cakes, pastries, cookies, breads, deli sandwiches, and of course pan pizza. Alice of pan pizza is a popular breakfast or lunch option! In addition, there are quiches, calzones, these amazing looking loaf cakes, pies, cannoli, deli salads, and much more! Just being open on a Sunday was a huge plus. We need to pick up some sandwiches for an early lunch. We ordered large (only $1 more than small) and they are ginormous! Definitely shareable or enough for a second meal! We ordered a side red potato salad. And of course a pound of cookies / biscotti! Everything tasted great! I hope we have time for a second visit during our trip! It was very busy around 930am on a Sunday morning. Very organized and well staffed for the business. Most were picking up pre-orders (cake, etc.). Ordering sandwiches wasn't an issue that early and pans of pizza were out! Love the East Coast and surely miss it! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Most of the customers seemed like local regulars! That says a lot too! Parking is very easy. Large lot shated with another business. Front and then a larger lot on the side. Nice as most parking in this area (including Marblehead and Salem) is street parking only, very few lots! There are plenty of tables for dining inside. Our next will.be hot sandwiches and/or pan pizza and calzones!

It was super easy to order, and I was intrigued by the build-your-own breakfast sandwich. I got a sweetened matcha (hot) paired with a sandwich made with pita bread, scrambled eggs, pepper jelly, and Boursin cheese (a unique option which I thought would add some interesting flavors). The entire meal of food + drink was perfectly filling post-run. Seating isn't ample, but there are options---countertop at the window for people-watching, or cozier seating by the back wall. It's definitely in a central location of Salem and I can see this place being a local favorite!
