    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.

    TLDR: The cookies are Fantastic!…read more Stopped in here after brunch at a nearby spot. I have heard via the internet that Sewell Sweets has the best chocolate chip cookies in Salem. Since the internet never lies, I had to verify for myself. I wasn't disappointed! Are they the best? I'll have to continue my research to say definitively. The cookies are fantastic! I will definitely be recommending Sewell when the discussion of cookies comes up, which it frequently does during conversations with me. Service was quick and helpful when we asked about a cookie that we didn't understand. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about but all I wanted was a cookie so no problems there. If you are looking for quality cookies or anything else to satisfy your sweet tooth, look no further.

However if you are operating a downtown store and can't give keys to access restroom for kids, you lack basic common sense and lost my business and all the recommendations I can provide. You guys use the restroom - don't you? Can you not provide it for customers ?

Grab some specialty coffee from Storm coffee in town got in our car and headed down the road for a long road trip. Popped open the goods and immediately was met with disappointment . The raspberry tart was ice cold and hard maybe partially frozen? Likewise, the sausage turnover was very cold inside. Not sure if that's how they sell them. In my opinion they should offer to at least heat them up or warn the customer that they're not ready to eat. On the good side, the chocolate chip cookies were delicious. Unfortunately, we were too far down the road and did not have time to return. This is not a condemnation on Turner bakery because I've heard nothing but fabulous things but this was just our first experience unfortunately but we will be back but we will ask more questions obviously .

Service was quick and friendly. I went with a cinnamon roll, two plain bagels, and two cookies: one ultimate chocolate chip and one peanut butter. I also got cream cheese for the bagel. The cinnamon roll was huge, pillowy, and very delicious. It was a little light on the cinnamon for my tastes, but I would definitely get it again. The bagels were pretty good. Nothing amazing, but a solid bagel chewy texture with good flavor. The cream cheese seemed to be whipped, which was a thoughtful touch. The cookies were huge, and both had a nice soft texture and rich flavor. The ultimate chocolate chip seemed to have maybe a caramel swirl along with chocolate chips. Very decadent! And the peanut butter was rich and chewy, with good peanut butter flavor. This place is a bit of a drive from me, but I will definitely be back some Sunday in the future to try some more of their extensive and tasty offerings.
