Today was our first visit and unfortunately probably our last, since we live in the southwest US, but one we will not forget. We had a Pecan roll, Cinnamon roll, Kouing-Amann and Chocolate Krinkle cookies and all were perfect. Service was prompt and friendly, with classic screen doors at the entrance. Not surprisingly a steady crowd in downtown Salem.

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. Well, stop here, enjoy your treat and continue your research, but you'll be back to Sewell Sweets.

Our favorite things here are the fresh conchas. One day we lucked out and got warm conchas. Wow! The staff is always so nice. They've even made my crème brûlée donut when they were out. The ingredients are fresh and good quality. I have not had anything bad ever here. They even piped in fresh cream to some item as they are purchased. The Spinach feta bagel is stuffed and so delicious. I live the texture of the bagel. The bakery front is super cute and clean looking. They have 2 tables with chairs if you want to sit there and eat. I recommend getting here early. They sell out.

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.
