Crema's Take

French Press in Salem is a charming, crepe-focused café where the real star is the coffee—customers consistently praise it as exceptional and worth the visit on its own. The pastries and creative breakfast dishes like their spicy cowboy scramble are beautifully plated and delicious, though service can be inconsistent and the industrial coffee grinder noise occasionally overwhelms the otherwise cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. It's a great spot to linger over a genuinely excellent latte and a sweet or savory crepe, just maybe expect a more leisurely pace than a quick grab-and-go.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Friendly and helpful staff, amazing crepes and coffee, highly recommend! I was being indecisive so ordered both a savory and a sweet crepe, one would have been plenty for me, but now I have left overs to enjoy later 👀

I was a little bit skeptical when I was referred here because I’m not a huge crepes fan. The coffee is hands down the best cup I’ve ever had. And the spicy cowboy scramble was absolutely to die for. I would eat here every single day if I could.
