The staff is very friendly and helpful. They told me they make their own vanilla syrups and roast their own coffee beans. After some quick back and forth, the worker recommended I try their eggplant shakshuka and their iced shaken cappuccino. Both were phenomenal! I honestly am counting down the days til I get to be back in the area for that shaken cappuccino again! The subtle flavor notes from their roasted beans really shines through and is balanced by the cream they use. The eggplant shakshuka was also great. It wasn't too spicy but it was a lot of flavor with each bite. I was so into the sauce that I almost forgot to save some to eat with the toasted baguette slices that came with the plate! Can't wait to go back to try other stuff!

Taproot Lounge and Cafe is among my favorite restaurants in the Salem downtown area. With expansive…read moredrink and food menus that are inclusive of vegan/vegetarian options, there's something for everyone here. I love that they have jackfruit as a "meat" option for many dishes - most restaurants will only offer tofu if they offer anything at all. The chipotle jackfruit tacos are great, by the way! We've always experienced good service here, and enjoy the casual feel of the dining area. This is a good place to eat a meal with folks with various dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or variety. Taproot is also open pretty late (12am most nights)!

They catered a special breakfast with handpicked items from their menu. The owner was extremely kind and personable, and made sure to take care of us. She went above and beyond to help one of our players comb through the garbage to find a lost item. We appreciate her business platform of giving back to the community, especially the youth. If you care where your money goes and supporting local, please go here! Not to mention. The food was delicious. We got nearly everything on the menu and loved it so much we came back the next morning. Some highlights were the breakfast bowl, yogurt and granola, orange creamsicle matcha, golden milk, and smoothies.

Their atmosphere had a very strange vibe that didn't feel very inviting. The staff seemed a little distant and it didn't feel like a welcoming place to stop in.

And the prices were so reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise. My husband had homemade corned beef hash, I had a Greek scramble, and we bought amazing French toast to take to the grandkids. My grandson loved it! It is located in a somewhat industrial area, but the cafe is warm and welcoming. They also have two of the cleanest fish tanks that I have ever seen. A great place to park your littles while you wait for your scrumptious meal to be delivered. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!

They are only offering this special for one week so try and stop in before Saturday 2/21/26 The Resturant was decorated with some traditional decor in celebration of the occasion and, as always, Jen provided excellent service.

There is a sense of warmth and intentionality in everything they do, making every visit feel like a special occasion. The food is absolutely to die for, particularly their signature items. The Wild Pear Salad is a masterclass in balance, featuring fresh greens and the perfect hint of sweetness from the pears. However, the absolute showstopper is the Coconut Curry Butternut Squash soup. It is velvety, rich, and has just the right amount of aromatic spice to make it unforgettable. It is the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about days after you have finished it. Beyond those specific favorites, it seems like you really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish is prepared with high quality ingredients and a clear level of expertise in the kitchen. Whether you are stopping in for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, the quality remains top tier. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for fresh, vibrant flavors in a quaint setting.

Macaroons were a solid 2.5/10 This may be probably the second or third biggest letdown of all time for me when it comes down to food . The macaroons taste quite literally like cardboard . Cardboard with a tad bit of flavor. They're extremely hard and stale, they're almost like chips . They look great, but they taste awful.. I mean, these are definitely the worst macros I've ever had in my life by a long shot. I mean, I literally bought some grocery store macaroons one time out of the box that I've been sitting there for God knows how long and they were at least five times better than these . I really hate leaving this review guys, maybe I caught you on the worst possible day, but however, today marks the worst I've ever had in my life and I most likely will not be back because I don't want to be let down again .
