    Reviews With Photos - Gerry Frank's Konditorei

    We were celebrating my father- in-law's birthday and when we asked him about choosing a dessert he immediately chose Konditorei. I was curious about the name of the place, so I looked up its history online. I learned that the bakery was founded by Gerry Frank and Barney Rogers, and that Konditorei (pronounced kone-de-tore-eye) is German for cake or pastry shop. The Konditorei first opened in 1982, originally offering gourmet cakes along with a small food menu. Over the years, the business has grown significantly. In addition to their cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, tortes, and pastries, they now offer a lunch menu from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This includes a quiche of the day, soup of the day, meat lasagna, as well as salads and sandwiches. While the location is now owned by others, it's clear they continue to carry on the tradition and spirit of the original bakery. All of the sweet items are displayed in large cases where you can browse and select exactly what you want. When we arrived, it wasn't very busy. A few tables were occupied, but we were able to walk right up to the counter to view the selection and place our order. We chose a variety of desserts, and everything was packaged neatly for us to take home. Later in the day, when we enjoyed our desserts together, we were all very impressed. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday, and the quality of the desserts definitely lived up to the reputation.

    Veggie Sandwich with chips; wanted lasagna though

    By 12:20, no more meat lasagna so had to order the veggie sandwich with kettle chips. Parking lot behind business is quite small so you have to find street parking; watch signs as some spots are 30min or 2 hours; at least it's free!

    Adorable place to get desserts i got a slice of lemon blueberry cheese cake, blueberry cheese cake, cookie dough cake, German chocolate bar and a toffee bar and white mocha coffee also a honey bunny latte. They were pretty darn good. The bars were excellent and the white mocha loved. The service was prompt and the place was very clean with cute decor. Im a fan.

    First time here and it was delicious! Definitely would come back next time I'm down! Loved the birthday cake! Classic! Cute dessert shop with ample seating and lots of tables, was decorated so cute like a lil dessert parlor shop! Highly recommend their yummy desserts:) we came here late at night so it was nice that they were still open past 8pm!

    Oh my sugary cake-y cookie-y cheesecake-y goodness! So many wonderful things staring back at you from those refrigerated cases! I had so trouble making a decision! But I did decide after I had some lunch - a half turkey sandwich on sourdough bread and a cup of soup. Both were delicious and hit the spot, making it so much easier to choose some dessert. My decision? Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake, of course! Seriously though, I could have picked one of everything and been super happy, but I maintained decorum and went with just one piece of cheesecake. The dining room was spacious and clean. Even the restrooms were super clean! The staff were very accommodating to the large group of people I was with (some of whom had walkers), helping us with the logistics of sitting all together at one long table made up from several smaller tables. The Konditorei is truly a fixture in Salem and it's easy to see why. Now I need to go back and get another piece of cheesecake and some of those yummy-looking cookies.

    We ate lunch here while looking at Willamette. The sandwiches were delicious, but what stood out about this place was truly amazing dessert selection. I mean OUT OF THIS WORLD!

    It was easy to order my birthday cake and the employees are nice! The cake was decent. It was a little plain, the Marionberry filling could be a bit thicker and they could cut back on the cream between layers. I would happily try other cake slices from there again, but not a whole cake.

    A very clean environment. I like that. Friendly waitress, lovely interior, felt clean, and very organized. The cakes in display just beautifully done. The waitress was super friendly and shared her favorites with us. I can't wait to go again!!

    I was very surprised with Gerry Frank's Konditorei. It was large and spacious, with an open airy feeling of not being crowded. The place is clean, I mean really clean, like even the restrooms were immaculately clean. The main room floors are a soft vinyl type of square tile of the non-slip variety. Display cases are well lit and the treats, cakes and goodies are a real visual treat. There is an excellent variety of cakes and cheesecakes. Prices are very reasonable for slices and various brownies and biscuits. I've been to many bakeries and this one stands out in variety, menu, quality and service. There were three of us and there was about a 15 minute wait. Suddenly a staff member had different thoughts as she scooted some furniture around and made a place for the three of us with no waiting. It was also refreshing to walk into a bakery and see that they have enough products to where they didn't sell out in the first hour of the day. There was plenty! The seating area itself is very spacious with clean tables. There is plenty of room to navigate around the tables which makes it easier to go see the displays while you enjoy lunch. For lunch I had the Classic Clubhouse sandwich. It was a very large triple decker on wheat bread. It had bacon, ham, turkey, cheese, thick slice tomatoes, lettuce and mayo. It came with a pile of kettle chips. The flavors of the different meats and veggies is a fantastic blend of savory and salad. The ingredients were very fresh as well. I had a slice of the German Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert. It was very rich and dense. The strength of the chocolate was not overwhelming and the mixture of walnut, pecan and coconut was very pleasant and offered a light crunch to the cheesecake. There were so many delicious looking individual portions that we ended up with a large 'to go' box.

    Ordered the 6" champagne raspberry cake. Cake was dry and a lot of frosting. A little too much for me.

    We placed our order online using their website after a quick confirmation on their instagram…read moreaccount that they would be closing an hour early for Christmas Eve (usually open until 4pm). Grateful for them to be open at all and fulfilling the order 30 minutes before close. We arrived exactly as they were about to close and had our 3 sandwiches ready to go. We tried the Fratello and BLTA. Might try their gabagool for next time. Very tasty sandwiches but wished they sliced them in half. They are located in an industrial park close to department of corrections. We aren't Italian but I think they are the real deal considering the specificity in their menu.

    I ordered online for pickup. They seem like nice guys…read more.. Service is questionable. It did not appear too busy when I walked in, but nobody greeted or asked if I needed help. When I did stand in front of a staff member working the front, he just continued to do what he was doing and pretty much ignored me until I said something. I guess you just have to walk up and talk to get his attention. (New York City delis even greet you...so perhaps it was an off day for the gentleman). I overheard and witnessed other stuff that was said, but anyways. The actual workers behind the counter/making the sandwiches were just doing their role, so I don't have anything to say besides the fact that my sandwich and my wife's were tasty. She got the gabagool and I got the Italian stallion. We both agreed that the sourdough could be improved a bit, but the deli meats tasted fresh. Would come back to try other sandwiches, but hope the service would be a little bit more attentive/friendly.

    Oh my gosh I don't know where to start! Everything I ordered was a solid 10/10 & that doesn't…read morehappen too often LOL. Started out with the giant tower of whip cream'd hot chocolate! House made of course so it's even better than the store bought stuff in my opinion because it tastes like actual chocolate. I ordered the filet minion chicken fried steak and it was cooked to perfection. So juicy inside and crispy but not like overly cooked crispy on the outside! Topped with a hot gooey layer of house made sausage gravy. The overall size of this steak was about as big as my face. To complement this enormous steak was eggs, a biscuit & some smashed Yukon potatoes..like they were literally small potatoes they just smashed which was really different to me because I've never seen that before. I also had to order the infamous cinnamon roll pancake I been seeing floating around on other people's reviews. IT IS A MUST.. and if you are ordering it to take home make sure you have a piece of it while it's still hot and fresh because that was to die for. I won't go more into detail about it you just have to try it. It will speak for its self. Overall the dinning experience was great! Servers were more than happy to get you whatever you need. We sat at the bar so y'all should try their drinks because they looked so good and the bartenders looked like they were having fun making them. The restaurant is a literal house and while charming it is small and packed inside and the parking lot is also really small so you may need to get there early or expect to park somewhere else in the streets. We got there an hour after they opened and it was only a 30 minute wait thankfully. Will be coming back again to try other menu items!

    Stairs up to entry was very dangerous with waiting customers using handrails on both sides, then,…read moreno landing at the top! We told hostess we did not want to sit at the bar, she sat us at the bar, after some more wait, we did get a table. Coffee was ok, but the cups were huge, always 2/3 full of cold coffee. The food took one hour to find our table. Nothing special, my wife had an omelet, with a big glob of Brie cheese, overpowering the omelet. I had corned beef hash that was extremely dry and salty. I also had warm rye bread. Not toasted. We were half done with our breakfast, and was given the bill, and boxes to go. Very rushed, crowded, and expensive. $58 for sub-par breakfast for 2. Sorry WOM, didn't cut it.
