I googled this hidden gem spot and was wondering where it was . My husband and I were driving out…read moreone day and realized that we passed this spot so we drove back and stopped. This spot is definitely a hidden gem. We actually stopped here three times , everything in there is sooo good . As soon as your stepped in it smells absolutely amazing. The first time we decided to get raw honey , chocolate chip cookies , sour dough bread which was so amazing and so delicious, the next couple of times we tried the jelly cookies which was soo good . The brownies is alao very very delicious. I highly recommend trying it out.. We wanted to try the other bread but we just didnt care for the fact that it says canola oil on it I wish the owner used a different substitute for that oil . The service is self serve, there is a book in there to fill out to let the owner know your name, what did you purchase , how much and what was the method of payment . I highly recommend stopping at this spot. You will absolutely love it !

Imagine, my surprise when there weren't any attendants - talk about a kid in a candy store with no one there to supervise.

He said they had a shed next to the small industrial bakery with self service and an honor system for paying cash only. So I stopped in this afternoon and found this little gem of a place that I'm surely coming back to. They have 6 different biscotti flavors to choose from and bins with bags of around 5 biscottis each. It's currently $5 per bag, cash only, that you leave in a slot between the bins. The biscotti's are delicious....at least the 4 of the 6 I bought and tried, but no reason to think the other two aren't as well.

Nice little cafe in downtown Salem. It was full at lunchtime when we went so there was a wait for a…read moretable. They don't like for you to wait inside so we were firmly directed outside where some of us found Adirondack chairs to sit in. Good thing we were the only ones waiting. After about 20 minutes we were seated at a table near the candy case. A seat of temptation if ever there was one. Tried the Wurst Sampler and the wursts were good, especially the knockwurst. The sauerkraut and mustard went well with them. The side of potatoes were ok. I didn't detect much bacon and onion influence on their taste. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with the flavor of the wursts. Service once we were seated was excellent. We did not resist the candy case temptation and took home a selection for later. They were quite good, especially the ones with dark chocolate.

If you look up "quaint" in the dictionary, you'll probably find a picture of the interior of…read moreSteininger's. I don't believe it's changed much since my first visit here some 15 years ago - same wall and floor decor. The draws here are their confections, their breads, and their homemade soups. I've had some problems with service being a bit inconsistent (such as today's visit), but the quality of the food here will keep me coming back. Today 2 of us came in for lunch, and we each ordered the soup-and-half-a-sandwich deal. The soups change daily and are given to you hand-written on a piece of scrap paper. Today they got our order only 50% right. My soup, a broccoli, spinach, leek soup was delicious, with a rich stock. The other soup was a bowl of something not ordered, but we kept it anyway. It was also delicious, just not what we ordered. For the half-sandwich, it was my turn. I ordered a turkey sandwich - there are 2 of them on the menu, and the waitress even double checked to make sure she put in the right one. I ordered the one on whole wheat bread, but I got the other one, which came out on a flaky croissant. Again, it was delicious, just not what I ordered. I wasn't going to order dessert, but I tried to succumb when I saw that besides their homemade confections, they also serve chocolate cheesecake made by the nuns at New Skete, topped with their own homemade raspberry sauce. Yet another disappointment, they were out of it. So today's overall visit was not up to par, though the food (even if they didn't get it quite right), was.
