The food is made fresh every meal and the taste shows it! It feels very homemade with a hint of business, if that makes sense? The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!

Sugar Lilly Cupcakes is a cupcake booth found at the Saturday Market in Salem, Oregon. FYI, they…read moretravel from nearby Independence, with no brick-and-mortar place yet, to my knowledge. I had passed by Sarah's booth several times in the past, just never actually stopping for a cupcake. With my sweet tooth in maximum overdrive on a sunny mid-June day, I figured that was as good a time as any to check it out. Sarah Lilly has been baking all her life, but only started selling cupcakes earlier this year. Looking at her business Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SugarLillyGourmetCupcakes), she has several cupcake choices, rotating several flavors in and out from week to week. Sarah will have about 10 choices overall each week, with 7-8 regular cupcake flavors and about 2-3 gluten-free options. All cupcakes are $3. The gluten-free cupcakes intrigued me, and I grew even more interested when Sarah mentioned she uses black beans instead of a gluten-free flour mix. I went with a gluten-free mocha cupcake this time. It's a chocolate cupcake topped with coffee buttercream frosting, coffee sprinkles, and a chocolate-covered espresso bean. What a delicious cupcake! The cocoa powder masks the black beans, to the point where it really tastes like your everyday chocolate cupcake. Even better, the texture of the actual cupcake remains unchanged. Every component is amazingly light, including the coffee buttercream. I love the simple garnishing of coffee sprinkles and single chocolate-covered espresso bean. Regarding the "regular" cupcakes, there are several delectable options, including S'mores, Guinness chocolate, Snickers, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Apple Spice cupcake choices. Panda gasp! Again, selections vary from week to week, and Sarah posts the Saturday Market menu on her business Facebook page several days in advance. I've only had one of her many cupcakes, but I definitely want more! I could see myself going on a cupcake bender and eating a dozen of these in one sitting. Check the Sugar Lilly booth out!

I went for a mango sorbet scoop and a strawberry ice cream scoop both Cascade Glacier brand. The scoops were generous in size. I didn't think the ice cream was very creamy but it was adequate . The mango sorbet was satisfying and.nice to have something lighter. There are two cases of ice cream , lots of choices , we neglected to look at the flavors in the second case which had many chocolate looking choices . Will have to check that out next time. The shop is perfectly located near the park and other eating establishments so a nice stop for dessert or a treat . I saw Blue Bunny and Umpqua in a few flavors, overall Umpqua is a creamier brand. The big advantage of this shop is location in downtown area and not out on Hwy 99 , it encourages walking and makes getting ice cream a more social event than the drive through options out on Hwy 99.

I bookmarked this shop after trying caramel from Hawaii and it was spot on. Absolute must!…read more Even if you're not a fan of caramel, I'd give this one a chance. When I think of caramel, I imagine it being stuck all over my teeth. But Maui Melts is different - the caramel melts in your mouth without the sticky feeling. If you're not able to make it out to this storefront, they have a booth at the Salem Saturday Market. It's worth paying $10 for 7 pieces of caramel. I was recommended to try the blueberry and pineapple so I bought some and gifted them to my family. The only flavors I tried were the coconut and original. Highly recommend both flavors! The coconut shavings paired nicely with the melty caramel. The original has tiny bits of sea salt for that sweet and salty combo. I'm still dreaming of these caramels as I write this review.
