Live Organic Cafe was the first place I ate when I arrived in Salem, and it ended up being a great…read morestart to my weekend trip. I was looking for vegan-friendly options near my hotel, and this spot was conveniently close by. The menu had so much to choose from: bowls, handhelds, drinks, desserts, and more. I don't usually order iced coffees or teas, but the Blueberry Cloud Matcha sounded too interesting to pass up. It came out beautifully layered, with whipped foam on top, matcha in the middle, and blueberry syrup at the bottom. I noticed some people using straws, but I drank it without one, and it was delicious. The foam blended into everything perfectly while still keeping those pretty layers. My bowl came out soon after and was just as nicely presented. I especially loved the whipped sweet potato, which was such delicate touch. The bowl was also very filling, with lots of fresh, hearty ingredients, so I couldn't quite finish it--but it was satisfying and delicious. I visited late in the afternoon, around 3pm on a sunny Friday, and the cafe was still packed. There was plenty of seating, including cozy corners and brighter areas near the windows. Overall, it felt peaceful, relaxed, and very much like a community hub. If you're visiting Salem and looking for a vegan-friendly spot, this is definitely worth checking out.

You order at the window and they give you a number and bring you your food. I went with the rainbow harvest bowl. They truly proved me wrong! Not only was the food filling, but flavor was so prominent in this dish. There were also a lot of textures at play from creamy to crunchy and all in between. I never would think to combine all of these vegetables and starches along with the seasonings that they did and now I want to. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

This is in my neighborhood and something I've been wanting to try. The place is sparse with Univision news on the television. I like it because I try to pick up what little spanish I can and try to follow the news stories. I loved the grandfather clock in the corner of this cute little shop. Sitting down I had waited about 10-15 minutes. A gentleman had come in, went in the back. The proprietor must have been in the back because soon she was out taking my order. I got a pizza pastel and cheese pastel (although I was trying to order some cheese balls, or Pao de Queijo, because I have had them at Peabody Bread Company and they're delicious and wanted to try these. But my pronunciation was severely lacking apparently!) with a cup of coffee. Coffee was good, and the pastels were piping hot and delicious. The pizza pastel is a little misleading, diced tomatoes/ham with cheese and seasoned with pepper for the filling. Still delightful and filling in the morning.

Would be great if they have outdoor tables for summer. The price for a medium cup ($14.50) seems a bit high to me for what I'd consider a quick lunch in a cup. So, I'll go back because it was delicious, but probably not as often as I'd like, because of the price.

This casual spot looks inviting which is order & pay at the counter with painted murals, a few finished tree stump tables and more table seating in the Best Bagel area (they close up much earlier than Acailand). I stopped by Acailand for an acai bowl. Their touchscreen kiosk was not working properly, but it gave me ideas of topping choices I could add to my bowl. The acai bowls are priced from $13 (small 1-2 people) to $17 (medium) $19 (large 4 people) with up to 8 choices of toppings. I decided on a Small American Classic Acai Bowl ($13 plus tax) which has acai, strawberry, blueberry, granola, honey, and cashews and I customized with additions of mango, kiwi, and coconut flakes. My bowl was made to order quickly and packed up well, over the top with plenty of toppings over the rim of the plastic bowl. I drove down the road to a coffee place and enjoyed my very sweet acai bowl with some black coffee. They essentially made my acai bowl the way I liked it with plenty of fresh fruits, nuts, and honey. I couldn't finish this in one sitting and stuck it in the freezer to enjoy the next day. I would definitely stop by again if I happen to be driving by and need a sweet fruity dessert.
