The lane we were directed into was not clearly marked, and by that point we were already stuck in line with no easy way to switch.

Rather than helping resolve the situation, they simply turned us away. The interaction was rude and unhelpful, so we chose to leave without ordering.

I'm always searching for local coffee shops over the ubiquitous Starbucks or Dutch Bros. Traveling…read moreup to Salem the other day was no different. Of course, I turned to Yelp for options since I'm not too familiar with the area and found Higher Ground, which was conveniently located about a mile from my sister's house (our final destination). The location is a bit odd, as you'll find it set back in a parking lot at the base of a large church--now I get the name, punny! Quick, friendly service and really reasonable pricing. I ordered 4 espresso drinks (one with a milk alternative) and the total cost was only $14!! And besides being well priced, they were well-made.

Great little coffee cafe! (Best in NE Salem). If you're looking for your Starbucks alternative,…read morethis is it. It is much nicer, quieter, and cosier. There is soft-seating around the gas fireplace, plus conventional seating throughout. The the visual ambience of art and soft music is just right to get the day started. Plus plenty of outlets for your electronic devices. The only draw backs are that they're only open 7am - 11am, Monday through Thursday, and hard to locate as it shares space with the People's Church. There is a TV above the fireplace, which I'm happy to say is turned off. If you're looking for a quieter place for your morning coffee this is it. It's definitely one place I'll be coming back to!

For someone who hardly drinks coffee (less than 5 times my entire life), this visit to Starbucks…read moreleft me very impressed. I was running off 4 hours of sleep & was on my way to Portland to work at the COVID Vaccine Clinic at OCC. It was 4am and of course this location was open (A BONUS! Most opened at 0500-0530). I mentioned to the barista that I hardly drink coffee, but there were 3 drinks I was interested in (from what I looked up on google). I couldn't decide between the 3 and was looking for something on the sweeter side; yet, had caffeine. Out of the 3 drinks, she recommended Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew which I originally had asked for the smallest size possible (knowing my tolerance for caffeine was likely very low). I get to the drive-up window and her & another barista had mentioned that they were giving me a significantly larger size in case I ended up liking what she recommended! I was VERY happy with her recommendation and it kept me running for about 12 hours. Thank you for your amazing service. I wish I had gotten their names. I will definitely remember their faces the next time I visit again.

Environment: Fairly spacious interior. You'll see the long order corner up front and the restrooms on the side; a code is needed to enter. We placed our order at the counter and had a wait before our drinks were ready. We ordered 3 drinks but only 2 of them came out. Not sure how, but they somehow lost our order for the 3rd drink. And we had to flag one of the employees down to ask about it. What was ordered: - Nitro Cold Brew - Matcha Tea Latte Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. The place was nice and clean but the wait was long, and they lost one of our drink orders. Credit cards are accepted.

You take your time and get to chat with friends and actually taste the food. The chairs are plush and comfortable and you never feel rushed. A fresh ice cold bottle of water is brought to the table and the service was amazing. So warm and friendly and they explain the menu if you have any questions. The food is clearly the best I've had in a long time. The spices are so rich and flavorful. Half the menu is vegan/vegetarian and the other half has meat options. If you want to sample a bit of everything they have a delicious platter. The braised beef is melt in your mouth tender and so good! 10 out of 10. I am so going back and taking all my friends and family with me.

Gursha Eats is truly a gem in the Salem, OR community. While spending a week there (Salem),…read morevisiting my best friend, she took me all around Salem to explore some of her local favorites, and Gursha Eats was one of them. Now, the last time I had authentic Ethiopian food was many years ago, with the same best friend at this Ethiopian spot in Orlando, FL - the name of which is escaping me. Needless to say, it's been YEARS. So, I was very excited to visit Gursha Eats because my best friend had done nothing short of speak AMAZING things about this local eatery. And, naturally, Gursha Eats did not disappoint. Again, I repeat, what a gem! The staff were just the absolute sweetest! Service was top-tier and quick as can be. However, the food was the MAIN attraction. I got the platter, so that I was able to try a little bit of everything, and wow, wow, WOW!! It was so flavorful. My goodness! I was truly blown away by how wonderful everything tasted. I have found African & other black & brown cultural (& being of Caribbean descent - so I get it) cuisines very filling and heavy. So, I didn't eat a ton while there because I got full pretty quickly, but I was happy to have leftovers to enjoy later, and that I did. The leftovers were just as amazing as eating it in the restaurant. Nothing was overly spicy. Everything was served fresh and paired very well with the tea I requested, but I am drawing a blank on the flavor I got. I was truly a happy camper after that meal. If Gursha Eats didn't know this, they know now, I am a FAN for life. And for as long as my best friend calls Oregon home, I will be sure to find my way to Salem to visit Gursha Eats. If you are a local and have not been, please give them your patronage. If you are visiting Salem, as I was, I also urge you to visit this local gem. You will not, I repeat, you will not be disappointed. This little spot is definitely worth it. Before I wrap this up, the restaurant was previously a Latin cuisine spot, so when you walk in, it is a mixed fusion of Latin and Ethiopian decor. It blends quite nicely - actually. So, just a fun little fact. Do not let the previous signage and decor throw you off because Gursha Eats is a bit newer. I am sure, in time, they will slowly convert the decor to more traditional Ethiopian aesthetics. And even if they don't, as I mentioned, the fusion of cultures kind of works well. It definitely has a nice homey feel to it, too. So, overall, you just get the feeling of visiting family. It is just a warming and inviting spot to visit. Again, please, please check this local eatery out. It is so worth it!

My partner and I decided to make the drive out to Fruitbox and we were not disappointed! I ordered a Diablito, an ice-y drink with your choice of fresh fruit (I had mango) and covered with chamoy and tajin, both spicy, tart condiments. Added a long side all of this was a tamarind candy straw that was also covered in more spicy, tart powder. My partner ordered an Angelito, an ice-y drink with your choice of fresh fruit (he had strawberry) and covered in sweetened condensed milk and coconut. His drink was the polar opposite of mine: sweet and fruity. Both drinks were refreshing and the service was quick and friendly within the restaurant. It almost seems as though the establishment is too large, but perhaps on the weekends it gets busier and can fill up. The menu has something for everyone, whether health-conscious or not. From fresh squeezed fruit juices to milkshakes, smoothies and everything in between, give Fruitbox a try!
