After reading and hearing good things about this place for years, I finally tried it. The lady and I walked up to the counter to order after observing the menu. Based off the lack of interaction with employees up until this point, I had a feeling the service was going to be mediocre. The lady ordered a coffee and the bagel and lox. I ordered the berry blend smoothie and the spicy Greek crepe. I am typically not a fan of crepes and usually just like to try a bite of someone else's lol, but I figured I would give this place a shot. The verdict is... I am still not a fan of crepes. The insides were ok, eggs were over cooked and the overall taste wasn't spicy. The sausage was good. The lady tried to bite her bagel and lox, but she said it was hard as a rock, lol. I offered to go say something but she refused. Service was mediocre as I predicted. Food was mediocre. The lady was ok with her coffee. She mentioned it was a little too sweet. However! my smoothie was good. 2 stars for the drinks, I suppose. I must say, later in the evening, the lady was not feeling right and ended up vomiting. The vomit was the same color as the salmon (lox) and she did not have much to eat later in the day besides tater tots and a burger slider. Take that for what it's worth. *shrugs shoulders* Most likely won't be back. read more

Service sucked, tbh. I get that it was a rush, but to be hinted at to move out of the way when I wasn't told to go anywhere by the original guy helping to get my food was kind of lame. Like, some communication would be awesome and it always seems to be lacking here. "We're almost done preparing your food, could you stand over at the counter while I help the next customer?" is literally not at all hard to say. No updates were given to me tho, just pure silence and weird looks. The food is good but not good enough for that kind of treatment. I'll start coming in during non rush hours to see if it's different. read more

So I tried to call ahead to order food because I was on a time crunch; 13 times, the only answer I received was to hear chopping and no words being spoken. I got there, and the person at the counter just shrugged... Fuck you, "person who doesn't matter" was all I got. The food is decent but fuck their customer service or lack thereof, and don't bother trying to call. Your better off masturbating during that lost time. read more

Their crepes are one of the first dishes I had to go to since Salem has started easing restrictions out of COVID-19. We got two crepes: Emilie's Love Crepe and the Berry Crepe. The freshness of the fruit in the Berry Crepe stood out to me. It's an extra $1 but I would highly recommend to get these to add to the crepe. In the Emilie's Love Crepe, the crunchiness of the peanuts and chocolate chips complimented the soft, warm chocolate sauce and banana texture. As long I'm in this area of Salem, I'll stop by the drive-thru next time if I'm in a hurry! read more

I met up with a couple friends here on a Saturday morning and even though it was a pretty busy place, it wasn't too loud and we got to catch up without it being hard to hear each other! After placing my order for a house hot chocolate at the counter, it was ready to go fairly quickly! Staff were friendly and it was kept clean. They also have a drive through! read more

Chai latte is spectacular, and the peach crepe I had was pretty good, this place seems to be always busy, and hard to find/keep a table at times. Overall the staff is friendly and quick and the inside is clean, and comfy read more

When I come back to Salem to visit family from Southern California, this is my go to coffee spot. I typically order their drip coffee always a good roast profile on the lighter side imo the way coffee should be roasted. I also like their cold brew. I've never tried the food but I hear it is good and the establishment is always packed. The customer service is good, and you can tell they are on their toes in this place. Plenty of seating inside and some outside, with a convenient drive thru. read more

Went two consecutive mornings. Same staff, same coffee order. First day, food, coffee, service was great! Second day, food was good, but coffee changed not as great as first day and service changed as well! We felt unwelcome. Both days tipped 25%. I was so nice to staff so not sure what happened! Looks like we aren't going to be going back to this place. read more

They was a hair in my food. They didn't even apologize or say that they were going to remake it. The girl that helped us she gave us a bad attitude because we complain about it. read more

I really like this place. The food is usually fast and the coffee bar is delicious. After a friend took me there for brunch I've been a fan ever since. The maple bacon crepe is divine. The fruit crepe (usually seasonal berries, banana, and whipped cream on the outside with filling inside) is a kid favorite (I like it too). I usually get a chai or an espresso. Haven't had a bad meal here! read more

Best crepes around! Nice setting and ambiance, I always make sure to visit when I come to town!

Meh.... Lovely coffee. The breakfast sandwich just sat in my stomach - 3 hours later. My two friends who had the cordon blue crepe had little pieces of dark meat chicken, but very little chicken overall in it. Our other friend had a crepe with a small rock in it - not a seed but an honest goodness pebble. He bit right into it. When he told a member of the staff they just said "ok" - really? Unlikely to go back. The staff should have gotten a manager then tried to figure out how it happened. Instead, business went on as usual. read more

The crepes here are phenomenal, you can never go wrong with anything you get. Usually I get the cowboy scramble for something a little more savory, but this time I wanted to try something new and I was not disappointed. The flavors melted in my mouth and I almost exploded. The chai tea is also so good and worth it. You should definitely go here. read more

My sister wanted to come here for her birthday because she found it online and wanted to go someplace new and different. It was good and bad. First of all, it's run like a coffee shop, but has far too extensive of a menu for that and should be run more like a restaurant. The problem with seating is that at coffee shops you get one person taking up a 4 or 6 top and think nothing of it. At a restaurant those tables are saved for larger groups. We were able to find 2 tables near eachother outside (but with all the traffic noise that's not where my mom wanted to be). So I gather the orders and go to the counter. Not the friendliest or best at ringing up, but we got there. My biggest gripe on that was that I ordered a water, which apparently is self serve, but they didn't mention that and point that out to me. I had to ask when we finally got our drinks and was told then, but I would have already got that to my mom while I waited, you know, because she was thirsty. Then there's the wait. It took a very long time for 5 drinks, but rather than handing over a couple at a time they wait until they're all ready. I'm standing right here and if I'm going to serve myself then let's use some sense - I can't carry 5 large mugs filled to the brim all at once, plus open the door to get outside with just two hands. I grabbed my partner to help, but it was uncomfortable to carry. These aren't light or to-go cups people! Once again, no pleasantness to it. But then they actually serve your food, so it doesn't make sense not to serve the drinks to your table too. Anyway, after the sub-par service we were able to enjoy some wonderful drinks and delicious crepes. Thankfully they were all really good so this place at least does have that going for it! Some tried dessert, while we went with savory. They were all pretty well built and loaded up with good stuff. So the food is definitely worth checking out. The reason why drive-thrus work at places like Starbucks is because of their limited quick and easy menu. Now you've just made the parking lot a cluster of extremely rude people waiting in the lot for you to bring them their orders. I would do beverages only at the drive-thru. I didn't appreciate their rude customers when we're just trying to get out of the parking lot and they're blocking us in to wait. read more

Good coffee, nice place, but SUPER SLOW! Don't come if you can't linger an hour. I came here as an out-of-towner looking for a local establishment to patronize. I just wanted to grab some coffee and go meet a friend on my way through town. I drove past Starbucks to get here and wished I hadn't. This shop is charmingly set up with a lovely atmosphere and tasty coffee but was severely understaffed! I waited 35 min. for my two cups to finally be in hand. I wasn't the only one. The drive thru window, which I hadn't seen as I entered, was running about 10 min. a car. It took so long for me to get my coffee I missed my window of time to see my friend. read more

What a nice place to come and sit down, enjoy coffee, check your emails, or take a nice friend! I can't say enough good about this place because it's clean and the atmosphere is top-notch! The decor is alluring too. read more

They take forever no matter how busy they are. We were first in line and watch over 3 cars finish while we waited in the loading zone. They messed up my chi and put coffee in it. They don't listen too special instructions when you order either. Don't recommend. read more

Came with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised! Had an iced dirty chai which was pretty good! Definitely more on the spiced side (which is a plus) than other places that make theirs overly sweet. For crepes, we had a california(?) chicken crepe and their raspberry lemon cheesecake crepe. Both had plenty of fillings. The savory crepe had sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, feta cheese, & a basil dressing. The chicken was also cooked well and wasn't dry. The dessert crepe, according to my friend was overly sweet, but i thought it was well balanced as the raspberries and lemon were pretty tart. I'd definitely come again. It smells like a cozy, quiet place to do work as well. read more

Attractive setting with many separated tables for good chatting. Eating here leaves me feeling as if I were in France. Beginning with the best freshly made coffee served in a wide cup. If you add cream there will be a beautiful flowery design. The food is exceptionally good. A fruit parfait came in a bowl with the freshest Plump berries and thick yogart tasting as Devon cream. A chorizo crepe was fresh and spicy with a delicious sauce, beating by far any egg omelette or breakfast Tortilla. The crepe was thin but held up to its food. Strawberry crepe with fresh whipped cream at the corners with a lightly stuffed crepe made a full meal. You must accept that central ordering matched with delivery to the table was a bit slower than a typical USA rush to get it out. read more

Coffee & lattes great. Crepes great. Other offerings, not so much. Lox & bagel good flavor, but bagel hard as a rock. Their steak knife supplied was not up to the job, and neither was my jaw. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had anywhere in the world in my entire life. payment is made before you receive your food at this establishment. Staff keeps an eye on that. If you don't tip when you order you are treated unbelievably badly. I tip after I eat , with cash. There was no tip left today. read more

4/11/2020 we went today! During the quarantine only the drive through is open and they are still serving the full menu except for quiches. We had the citrus dreamsickle smoothie, the Jay Brûlée iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso, the berry crepe, and the Croissant Benedict. Everything was amazing! Service was so fast! I think this was our best visit yet! read more

The staff was nice but we got served Luke warm crepes that were thick and stodgy instead of light and delicate. We asked for powdered sugar and lemon but got big glops of melting thin fake tasting whip cream on plate also. None of the 3 of us could finish them. The drinks were good but large the size of most places medium's while priced as larges. Atmosphere was nice. read more

I have been coming to this place for a while. The food is always awesome. I have to take my hats off to the cooks and the serves. They can grind. The only reason there is not a 4 or 5 star is because the worker behind the coffee station had the worst attitude. I had asked a question and she completely ignored me and walked away. I was finally able to figure out which drink was mine and I said thank you for everything and working hard. She came back with a yep with no eye contact. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. Simple as that. read more

Found this place on Yelp and it did not disappoint! Great food and great service for a busy Saturday morning.

French Press - Chocolate hazelnut latte and the veggie and California crepes. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

First timer here and I'll say it was ok. PROS: *Great, friendly and prompt customer service. *Fresh fruit and crepes CONS: *Salmon tasted really fishy. Even with all the veggies and Alfredo sauce, it was still overpowering, which ruined it for me. *Asparagus looked old and brown. Yuck! *I ordered a strawberry, banana and Nutella crepe with whipped cream and it was great until I tasted something like a custard inside. Not sure if they put these in every crepe, or if this was a mistake, but I hate he taste of custard and it messed up the whole thing for me. ~3 stars because of the service, but can't get over the super fishy tasting salmon and the custard I didn't ask for in my sweet crepe. read more

Worst customer service ever. I drove up to the drive through in my work clothes and my ugly little work car( but reliable) to buy a sandwich. When I was at the speaker I asked what kinda sandwiches they had since there was none listed on the drive through menu and the girl she said I have to look it up online. I told her if she can just tell me I would order one from the list she gives me. Again she said I have to look it up Online AND ALSO THERE VERY EXPENSIVE SANDWICHES . I told the girl I never asked you how much it was just what you have. So I just drove away since she was too lazy to serve me AND I also don't trust her with my food anyways. NEVER WOULD I GO THERE AGAIN read more

Unbelievably rude staff. Maps says this business opens at 6am but they open at 7am. Not a big deal. However I sat in the drive through from 6:45am until 7:10 without any acknowledgment. It's Tuesday Dec 21st. There was a girl with long dark hair who clearly glanced at me several times and acted like I wasn't even there. Also a man there too. Same attitude. He clearly saw me and ignored me. A group of people went in at 7 and they were waited in first so I left. I went down the street to Dutch Brothers. There I had a wonderful experience. Happy staff and fast and efficient. So if you out for morning coffee I highly recommend no passing this French Press place. They are rude and don't care to have decent manners. read more

Was here for a quick coffee date on a wet windy Thursday night around 7 PM. Place is very nice inside, i had passed by on Commercial for years and didn't expect it to be so comfortable and well decorated and lit inside. The servers were attentive and the latte i ordered was very good. Had the veggie crepe and that was nice also. Enjoyed the surroundings so much we didn't realize they were closing ! But the server was very nice about it. I hear its much more busy during the day but early evening it was nice and quiet with only a few other customers read more

Two years in a row my wife has got me coffee and a crepe on Father's Day. I asked her to get a "French pressed" coffee as the name of the business made it seem like they should have French pressed coffee. Sadly she was told sorry we don't actually offer that we sell French presses to use at home but don't actually brew our coffee that way. Even Starbucks has French Pressed Coffee if you ask for it. That being said the crepe was really good and coffee was still good just dissatisfied and disappointed that they don't offer fresh French pressed coffee. read more

Disappointed this time around. I ordered a savory crepe, which was cold. The pulled pork was also dry.

Went in with my kids the other day for a quick breakfast and drinks. They weren't very busy and we walked right up to the order counter. Placed the order and the kids went outside and grabbed a table while I waited for the drinks. About 15 minutes later my daughter came in and told me the food was at the table. I told her to eat while I waited for the drinks. About 10 minutes later my son came in and said they were done with their food. In the mean time I had received my drink. My daughters drink was finally ready but my sons took another 5 minutes. I was finally able to go eat but my food was cold by then. This was my first bad experience here so I'd normally cut them slack but there was no reason for the delay other than low staffing. I'll come back and hopefully it will be better next time. read more
