    The food at Crave is always a treat. They take my mother's gluten allergy seriously which is great and appreciated. The coffee is robust and the service is quick. It can be hard to find seating when it's busy because they only have a few tables. I love their breakfast sandwiches!

    Northshore....Butter croissant, eggs, cheddar cheese, maple candied bacon and maple aioli

    When I say the wait to get into Crave is worth every minute of standing in line, I mean it! We stood in this line 2 days in a row that's how delicious their breakfast sandwiches are. The line moves fairly quickly. It's about a 10-20 minute wait. I ordered a "Fluffy Ghost Matcha" and one of their signature sandwiches "Northshore". It has maple bacon, eggs, cheddar cheese & maple aioli, served on a toasted butter croissant. This sandwich is so mouth-wateringly delicious. Hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. No exaggeration!

    Iced matcha latte
    Paulina A.

    So I feel sometimes when something is overhyped on TikTok you need to be the final judge. Came yesterday for the super cute iced matcha latte with ghosts and unfortunately the drink was gross. The service was fast despite how many people were ordering. The drink had 0 flavor and was extremely watery.... Our ghosts on our other drinks were deformed

    soooo good. their matcha was delicious and just what you want in a matcha, just look at that color . the service is lovely and quick. the food is scrumptious, tot bowls are filling and the tots have that perfect crunch and are well salted. the tot sauce is nice addition. we went back a second day for just drinks and again they were very good. so happy to have found this place on my travels and will be going back any time i'm in salem it does get busy so the earlier the better, they have a restroom and several tables

    GF sausage egg and cheese
    Chelsea P.

    We needed a quick breakfast place with GF options while we were in Salem. Crave checked all our boxes! My husband and I got breakfast sandwiches. Bacon egg and cheese and the sausage egg and cheese on the GF bread. The bread reminded me of cheesy bread from a pizza place. The sandwiches were very filling. We will definitely come back for some of the baked goods! Employees were very nice and the place was cute!

    Absolutely hands down the best breakfast sandwich I've had in a hot minute. I forget the name but I got the one with maple bacon and the maple aioli and it was probably the best thing I've had in awhile. I'm not big on eggs but they cooked them perfectly. The bacon was delicious, thick and cooked to perfection. The sauce complimented the whole sandwich perfectly. 100/10. Service was great and the little place was cute and clean. The coffee was good too.

    Whole Hog sandwich

    Some serious mass in the Whole Hog sandwich. Absolute behemoth. And it was delish. Get extra spicy herb ketchup. You'll thank me later

    Almond croissant
    Michele F.

    Croissants looked good but had a disappointingly small amount of filling. I've been on the hunt for good croissants and decided to try the almond and churro croissants today. While both looked good, each only had a small amount of filling inside. The vast majority of each croissant was unfilled. The churro croissant's filling tasted like whipped chocolate and was very light and tasty, but there was only about two bitefuls inside. The almond croissant was very flaky, but had even less filling. For the cost of each croissant, there should have been significantly more filling. I wouldn't go out of my way to have these croissants again.

    BLT
    Kimberly M.

    This review comes from a family of 4. We had 2 build your own breakfast sandwiches. The bread was fresh and both were made to order. The brioche bun was an exercise option. The caramel latte was perfect. Maple bacon was excellent. The fruity pebble bar was too hard. The tater tot bowl was good and sauce was excellent. My husband says they tried too hard on the BLT but it looked good to me. Overall, this is a great takeout place.

    I've had a lot of bacon, egg, and cheese in my life. This might be the best one. Quick service and chill vibes.

    Iced tea
    Danielle V.

    Stopped here for some food while in Salem and it was very good. Small inside with a few tables and only a few bar seats so hard to get a seat. Order at the front, they have lots of options for breakfast sandwiches or you can put them over tater tots which is great! They also have lots of different coffee, teas, and ice teas. I got a tater tot bowl with eggs and shaved steak and it was really great and a large portion.

    Egg, cheese, and avocado sandwich
    Ashley U.

    Very quick and friendly service, with yummy breakfast options. I order an iced coffee and sandwich and enjoyed both, also the hash browns are sooo good! Note: there is very little seating options so this is a better grab and go place.

    Salem's Retreat - Sweet strawberries on top of crispy French toast.

    Salem's Retreat

    (98 reviews)

    $$

    The Salem retreat is a very nice restaurant. They have outside seating as well in the summertime…read moreparking is around the back and there's plenty of it. Also, their breakfast is a well stacked their pancakes waffles French toast is excellent. Also, you could have a drink there. the coffee is pretty good. Also the wait it's nice polite and kind.

    First things first I had no idea how to get to the parking lot in the back. If you don't go in…read morethrough the back you will awkwardly be standing at the front of the building waiting for someone to notice you because the hostess stand is in the back of the restaurant. Not very tourist friendly because we're all trying to figure out where we're going and looking at GPS and not even noticing that in dark letters on the sign it says there's a parking in the back that you don't notice until you've already found parking on a side street. Just a bit frustrating but not much to be done about it. I got a hot chocolate and it was fine, just a standard diner-like hot chocolate. Then the burrito came and although it was supposed to have cheese and chorizo in it, all I tasted was beans and pico de gallo. Barely tasted the eggs. It was HUGE also and the beans are filling so I couldn't finish it but I was just disappointed in the lack of balance in the flavors. I will say the apple cinnamon waffles were fantastic. The crumble on the top was my favorite part. I would just get that next time. I tried my mom's eggs benedict and did not like the hollandaise so I'm glad I didn't get that, I think the waffles might be their specialty.

    Hawthorne Hotel - Outside of hotel

    Hawthorne Hotel

    (379 reviews)

    $$

    I had my wedding here in May, so this will be a long but all encompassing review of all different…read moreaspects of the Hawthorne. When I was looking for venues, I wanted all inclusive and one location. I spoke with Christine Madigan via email and then over the phone. She assured me that the Hawthorne did weddings well. We booked, signed contracts, set up a room block and everything. The room block: 3/5 stars I originally worked with Beth who set everything up for me and then was transferred to Rob as positions changed. I initially had 15 rooms in my block which we filled pretty quickly, but I saved one for my husbands grandmother so she could stay onsite. She called to book a room and was told there were no rooms. There were rooms so I called and spoke with Rob because she was pretty upset. He assured me we had rooms and for grandma to call him directly. Evidently the folks at the front desk didn't understand how the room block was intended to work. This happened over and over and over again. I really wish they would have set it up so my guests could book online because I heard from nearly half of my guests that either they couldn't get the days we were promised or the room type they wanted. I even had 3 couples stay at another hotel because of this so Hawthorne lost out on money because they couldn't get their booking system organized. One of my couples ended up in a room with a TWIN BED for 2 people. How is that even possible? Meanwhile I had a single person in a room with 2 queen beds and 2 bathrooms? Like I get accommodating people's requests, but a little critical thinking and communication would have gone a long way for comfort here. I doubt those people will come back to this hotel for this reason, which is sad because its such a lovely place. The menu tasting: 5/5 stars We were invited to a tasting of hors d'oeuvres, dinner selections, wine, cocktails and wedding cake. It was amazing to be able to sample items we wanted to serve without doing so blindly. Their food is phenomenal so we were excited to be able to share this with our guests. Wedding planning: 5/5 stars I received packets of information before booking Hawthorne as my venue, so I was aware of the pricing up front. I was even able to create a quote using their pricing sheet so nothing was a surprise. Christine was available to answer all of my questions throughout the process. As we got closer, she gave us homework to complete so we were ready for our big day. We created a signature mocktail, filled out place cards, went over our timeline, dropped off welcome bags, etc. Everything leading up to our wedding day (outside of booking guest rooms) was super smooth and easy. Pretty much everything was provided by the venue. I only had to book a photographer, content creator, photo booth, DJ and HMU on my own. The rest was handled for me which really made things so much smoother. We ended up well under budget, too! Wedding day: 3.5/5 stars If I could go back, I would hire a dedicated day of coordinator who worked specifically for me and not the venue. Christine was great, and did her job well, but she wasn't dedicated to me the entirety of the evening. And she and my mom were butting heads over things we were promised and not delivered. My mom did my wedding florals. We asked in advance if we could have refrigerator space and a private room to set up in. We were told we could have both, and on the day of, there was magically no fridge space, access to water, or a secure room to work in. It was extremely frustrating to be promised things and then not have those promises fulfilled. We were able to pivot and adapt, but that added so much stress to me on a day where I should not have added stress. The room she was working in was also being used as storage for a wedding the following weekend. The hotel has tons of space so I'm not sure why it had to be there but it seemed at that point it was a battle of wills more than anything. My photo booth company arrived right at the time we were about to start our ceremony, which was planned in advance, but the way the rooms were set up he ended up being in the lobby. This turned out to be really fun for wedding guests and random hotel guests to watch, but it was a bit awkward at first. Some of the items we brought for our reception were not brought down and we had to track people down to retrieve those. There was a room upstairs that was dedicated for us to hide away in and eat our appetizers, but I wanted to be with my guests and the appetizers never made it to me and my husband so I was told they were good but I didn't get to try them all. Dinner was absolutely amazing. However, I heard SO MANY complaints afterward about our bartender. I guess he was rude, and terrible at making drinks and when people tried to go to the other bar they got turned away. Overall I had the best day ever and would do it over again with a few tweaks :)

    My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Hawthorne Hotel for a short staycation. We live nearby…read moreand chose the hotel specifically for its history, haunted reputation, and because the price point included what we were told would be complimentary breakfast. The room itself was nice and comfortable, and we were surprised (in a good way) to find that it was a double room. In terms of the "haunted" experience, we did hear some tapping noises coming from the closet shortly after settling in. It was definitely spooky, and my boyfriend barely slept, hoping it would happen again--but it didn't. Still, it added to the atmosphere we were looking for. Unfortunately, the experience took a turn the next morning. When we went down for breakfast, we were informed that we needed a voucher or token that we were never given. I went back to the room to call the front desk for clarification and was told that breakfast was only included if you were given a "certificate," which was never explained at booking. My boyfriend then went to speak to the front desk himself, since he made the reservation (even though I was present when it was booked). He was told that no one ever told him breakfast was included, and the interaction felt accusatory--as though he was being accused of lying. This was uncomfortable and disappointing, especially since we booked the stay based on that information. Adding to that discomfort, as we exited the elevator to head to breakfast, we could hear two front desk staff members chatting enthusiastically. When they noticed us, the conversation abruptly stopped, and they stared as we walked by. It created an awkward and unwelcoming feeling. One was a gentleman with longer hair, and the other was a woman with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. The manager was also involved in the conversation with my boyfriend. I do want to highlight the positives: The server at Nathaniel's was extremely kind and pleasant, and another woman working in the restaurant was also warm and helpful. The room itself was nice, and the restaurant service was genuinely the best part of our stay. That said, due to the front desk and management experience, this is not a hotel we would choose to stay at again--neither for the haunted experience nor for the treatment we received. Salem has many hotel options, and while we wanted this stay to be something special, it fell short. We were hoping to leave a glowing review, but aside from the room and restaurant staff, the overall experience left us disappointed.
