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!

If you want a delicious sweet treat try "your mother". Lots of the cocktails are made with in-house syrups. They also have a nice selection of snacks and food items too. Come in for a nightcap, to meet with friends or even if you're going on a date. I also loved that there was a dj and the place was decorated for Halloween! I also heard they'll have different dj's come in and events too! Really great addition to downtown Salem!

The service was epic! Our waiter had a great personality, and handled our big, loud group with ease and grace. The timing on the dishes and drinks was impeccable. We felt well cared for, and I felt celebrated. The food was delish. We loved the fondue as an app, I think we ordered two, and some oysters. Everyone enjoyed their main courses, I loved my goat cheese dumplings. A few of the guys mentioned smaller servings, but I prefer quality to quantity, so maybe just order another entree‍. Bottles of wine were reasonably priced, which I always appreciate. Thanks Clink! for giving Salem a beautiful place for celebrations. Trying the happy hour next...

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)!

We came in for brunch and the Breakfast Sally (their breakfast salad) was hands down one of the best brunch dishes I've had. Unexpected, perfectly balanced, and something I'd come back for specifically. Cocktails were just as strong--the Mambo #6 was a standout, and my boyfriend loved both his old fashioned and the breakfast skillet. Everything felt thoughtful without being overdone. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in Salem.

The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
