Shop of Shalom was a surprising store in that they have a huge variety of goods in a small store…read more Walking in, the atmosphere is very pleasant as the store is very clean and well organized. There is so much variety in high quality goods ranging from 50 lb sacks of flour and sugar to sliced deli cheeses, books and kitchen gadgets. There are also sewing supplies, gifts and art supplies. The staff are very friendly, polite and knowledgeable of the goods that are sold and they are very keen on pure foods. What surprises me as a home bread maker is the quality and price of the bulk foods they offer. They offer several different types of high quality bread flour for far less than you'd pay for at a supermarket. I will be returning for flour, at this price for the quality I will be able to make all the breads I like and not worry about the cost. I also got high quality oatmeal for less than a regular store. The label even states 'no chemicals'. Nice! A lot of these items are all made and produced by various Mennonite farms and locations and shipped here for sale. They also offer quilting supplies in a large corner of the store. Everything you need from the stuffing to fabric to threads and embellishments, this is the place for a creative artisan to gather supplies.

I'm genuinely confused by the glowing reviews for this food truck…read more My husband and I had two different meals and both contained watery, bland and hot (but not fully cooked) vegetables. About a quarter of each bowl was made up of half inch pieces of celery. I appreciate everything being organic and gluten free, but this was genuinely disappointing for $21 a meal.

Providore is a feast for the senses and a great place to treat yo self! Like other reviewers share,…read moreit's not the place to go for your regular grocery resupply, but for items where you want something unique, elevated, and special, this is the place. The market is well-stocked with unique shelf items from around the world-- pastas, jams/jellies, biscuits, oils, vinegars, tinned fish, and legumes. They have a vast deli case with meats, cheeses, and prepared items. The meat and fish counter is magazine-worthy and they feature some hot-food specials using meats and sausages from their counter. The wine selection is expansive-- we even saw a few bottles from the Loire region of France which we had the great fortune decades ago to visit family friends. It was the produce area that really made my heart sing and my eyes bug out. The produce section is colorful, artfully arranged. I could practically feel the antioxidants beaming into my body! I have never seen SO many varieties of alliums in my life. They had four different types of "green onion" (scallion, green garlic, calçot, and red spring onion), plus mahoosive leeks. We had a great experience with service which was friendly, helpful, and prompt. Since we were out and about doing other things we didn't get anything that required refrigeration like cheese, meats or produce, but we did have sandwiches from the deli case which were tasty. I look forward to going back for some of the produce and cheeses.

I bookmarked this shop after trying caramel from Hawaii and it was spot on. Absolute must!…read more Even if you're not a fan of caramel, I'd give this one a chance. When I think of caramel, I imagine it being stuck all over my teeth. But Maui Melts is different - the caramel melts in your mouth without the sticky feeling. If you're not able to make it out to this storefront, they have a booth at the Salem Saturday Market. It's worth paying $10 for 7 pieces of caramel. I was recommended to try the blueberry and pineapple so I bought some and gifted them to my family. The only flavors I tried were the coconut and original. Highly recommend both flavors! The coconut shavings paired nicely with the melty caramel. The original has tiny bits of sea salt for that sweet and salty combo. I'm still dreaming of these caramels as I write this review.

The merch was really cool…read more The crab cocktail fresh. But it is SUPER inconvenient to be cash only. The ATM they have installed charges a fee. Seems like a bit of a racket to me.

Some stuffed animals as well and some hair clips and whatnot. You can also purchase food in there to feed the animals outside (I'm sure it is not the only place to purchase food but that's where we got it this time). Inside the main building are many different kinds of high end gifts, kitchen items, wine, and food, as well as a cafe and ice cream. Outside are the animals (who tbh can really live without the food lol - they are fairly lacksadaisical about it!); and the area where Harvest Host folks park. The friendliest animals are the goats.

As the Tillamook Creamery began to fill-up with kiddos, I decided to head south to the Blue Heron…read moreFrench Cheese Company for a bite to eat. What a fabulously wonderful, relaxing restaurant / garden / petting zoo and gift-shop. The grounds are abound with potted plants and flowers. I entered what can best be described as a large, deli-gift-shop. Ordering takes place at the deli counter, a number is given, and food is delivered to your table. There is a fountain area, a coffee bar and a refrigerated cooler for drinks. The wine section is expansive and beautifully displayed. I can't speak to the quality, as I didn't partake in adult beverages. The shop is comprehensive with loads of deli-like merchandise, boutique items and souvenirs. They offer a lot of hand-crafted and locally-made fare, which is my preference. The food was outstanding! I order the cheese charcuterie with salami and my husband ordered the Blue Heron Classic. What a delight, and with plenty of left-overs. It was such a gorgeous day I visited the Candy Shop for an ice cream cone (Tillamook, of course) and walked the grounds for peacock viewing. The Blue Heron has picnic tables outside, so I sat and enjoyed the sun for a while. It was an ideal escape!
