Bought a boule of sourdough, morning bun and pecan roll from them at the Salem Farmers Market yesterday. Wow! Unbelievably good bread and pastries. I bake sourdough and am in awe of how good the bread is. Easy five stars. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this place. We live 1 block from it and I could go every single day and not get sick of them. Easily the best bakery we've lived walking distance to. Their croissant dough is perfect and used in multiple different pastries. They have a large variety of pastries and change flavors often, keeping it interesting every time you go in. read more

These pastries are fresh and tasty, i enjoy a coffee with a fresh baked good to start my weekend morning. Tons of options and seating for everyone, i love taking my friends here! read more

Manna Bakery - Croissants and muffins! - Bakeries Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I have been having a stressful couple of days, so I decided to treat myself with a visit to a bakery that has been on my to-do list for a while. The atmosphere is one marked by an open, welcoming space with high ceilings and lots of big tables. There were quite a few people seated inside, enjoying beverages and baked goods. The glass case was packed with goodies, all with labels that were helpful and clear. Service was very friendly, and patient with customers trying to make their choices. I had time to pick out my selections while another customer was being helped. I went with a to-go box, wanting to enjoy my haul at home. I picked a peach and green tea cream danish, an almond cream croissant, a ham and cheese croissant, and a chipotle/cheese/corn croissant twist. This place is the best of its kind in Salem! The dough in all my selections was perfectly light, airy, full of buttery flavor and with a crisp, flaky texture! The sweet selections were delicious, with the almond cream and the peach danish both providing nuanced flavors and delicate sweetness. The two savory picks were amazing, with the ham and cheese croissant melding rich, salty goodness with the great texture of the pastry. The chipotle twist was different but with a subtle spice that went well with the cheese and corn. I am so glad this place is here in Salem! We need it and I will be back! No pictures this time because I was hungry, but I promise to take some on my next visit. read more

Manna is such a lovely bakery. They have a great selection of both sweet and savory items, from cheesecake to cookies, loaves of bread to hand pies, plus coffee and other cozy drinks to sip. No matter when I stop by, there are always at least a few groups seated indoors. The sense of community here is real. A cacophony of happy chattering echoes through the high ceilinged space, but it's never loud, just feels like a friendly spot to be. They also have dried flowers and some other goodies. You could put together a great hostess or other gift. My only complaint (and it's not a real one nor Manna's fault), is that the only parking is on the street, and this area of Salem is nearly always packed, no matter the time of day. Still, I'll drive around for 5 or 10 minutes if it means I get some of their goodies. It's always worth it! read more

Great bread! The employees on the other hand are kind of rude and awkward and for a place that draws alot from latin culture theres alot of non latin people working there. the hot hand pies are just empanadas and some of the cookies can be kind of raw in the middle at times. only reason i go is for the food if i had to return for the service i wouldn't read more

While on vacation we found ourselves locked out of our camper and were using the locksmith across the street to help us out. It took a few hours so eventually I headed to this bakery to use the restroom and get coffee and something to eat. Not only was the bread, coffee, and cake absolutely the best I have ever had - the kind (owner?) sent me off with a complimentary boule. I think she sensed that I was in a bad situation, which I was. We live out of state so I can't go again but please know we were so thankful for your kind generosity. It made our day. Please try their establishment it was the best in every way. read more

The Marion berry twist is unreal good. Their savory items are delicious as well. Good amount of searing and plenty of families there.

I went to this place for the first time 2 weeks ago, as soon as I walked in there I fell in love... Everything there is beautiful, the space itself is vast and inviting, the lighting, the tables.. the arts the books. Then comes the pastries... . All of it looks delicious. I tried a few and can't wait to go there again and try other things. The coffee cake is superb. Love all of it read more

Pastries are fresh and tasty. They have some of the best puff pastry in Salem! and the best flavor combinations!

Try a Kouign-Aman for an amazing pastry! Only offered on Friday and Saturday! Get there early or they're gone!

Best bakery in Salem for sourdough! The croissants are reminiscent of those we've had in Paris & their morning buns are my favorite thing to get!! We love their baguettes, but be sure to go on Wednesdays when they're available. The coffee drinks are really good, especially as they use Steel Bridge Coffee- yum!! It's a great place to start the morning as they've got some terrific cookbooks to enjoy browsing through at one of their tables or couches. The changing local artwork just add to the atmosphere. Smiles from the staff even when they're busy is a bonus to the great service!! It is one place in Salem where I feel like we're regulars- even the hubby loves the place & he is our bakery snob in the fam. Manna deserves no less than on the mangiamamma scale of delicious!! read more

The service was amazing and the bread so good. So nice to have such a variety so close to home read more

Their baked goods are delicious and always very favorably reviewed by my guests. It is best to go in the morning while supplies last

Best Bakery In Salem, maybe best in Oregon (I haven't tried them all yet, but I am working on it). I can't recommend just one thing because it is all mind-blowing, but start with cinnamon roll, next get a twist (Olive and Pistachio changed my life), and the expertly pulled Steelbridge coffee will put every other coffee shop in Salem to shame. Warning; Manna will cancel out all your workouts and you'll have to change the route you drive to work to either get there or avoid it after a workout. read more

They were packed on a Saturday morning but the service was still quick and efficient. The bread is made in a bakery in the store and I found it to be reasonably priced, $8-$10 for a homemade loaf of bread. They also had wonderful looking and I tried a cinnamon roll which was everything you would want out of a pastry. So far I've tried the cranberry hazelnut bread and their ancient bread. Both were hearty, fresh and full of flavor. I would highly recommend them for your bakery needs. read more

We were looking for coffee and pastries and found this gem on State Street downtown through a google search. Wonderfully fresh and flaky croissant and moist (yes moist) muffins. The coffee was great and piping hot. They were consistently busy during our stay, with families and business people alike. I highly recommend. read more

Checked out this hot and new bakery and got the honey doodle cookie which melted in my mouth & pain au chocolate. Very delicious!

A popular spot, with broad-spectrum service: you can get excellent coffee drinks and, it appears, a light meal. Every time I've been there, a constant stream of customers is coming in. The last loaf of bread I got, the baker had not punched down the rising dough adequately, and the loaf was slightly overbaked, so there is variation in quality. An interesting clientele, people who live downtown, seniors on bicycles. A solid lurk for those who relish the downtown lifestyle and bakery goods. Staff have been very civil to me. read more

This is the bakery for Salem. Love the owners, love the quality, love the look. My wife and I come here often.

I'm usually here once a week in the winters. They're fantastic. Their service is great and their food is delicious.

I would give Manna Bakery 10 stars if I could. Note NO negative reviews of Manna...because Manna Bakery is AWESOME. Good coffee, great bakery treats, local artwork for sale on the walls, friendly staff, nice location downtown...love, love, love. The chocolate croissant is pure heaven on earth. Also, they have a booth at the Saturday Market, always with a line of people, and honestly every single thing I have sampled from them at their bakery and from the Saturday Market are a hit. Highly recommend. read more

What a fun and interesting bakery, with superb quality. Definitely a five star excellence.

I loved the rye bread loaf! It was outstanding. I had them slice the round loaf and the smell of fresh rye bread was too awesome to resist. I ate two slices walking back to my office. I ate every slice over the coarse of a few days and it was fresh and tasty to the last bite. I will visit this bakery again! Staff were so nice and helpful too. read more
