Crema's Take

Salem's Retreat is a full-service breakfast and brunch destination where the food quality rivals specialty coffee, with standout dishes like pistachio bread French toast and a make-your-own omelette station that keeps people coming back multiple days in a row. The cinnamon espresso is genuinely worth seeking out, and the portions are generous enough that you'll actually feel satisfied, not just caffeinated. It's slightly removed from Salem's touristy core, but that 10-minute walk is absolutely worth it if you want to escape the crowds and actually enjoy your meal.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Everything was incredible could not ask for a better brunch experience. From the food to the drinks, portions were perfect, and food was delicious with great options. Our server Baker made the experience all the more enjoyable and will recommend to everyone to check out!!

It's nearly unbelievable to find a place to eat on a beautiful Saturday in October near Salem. If you don't mind, the 10-minute walk, cross the bridge away from the main town and stop at Salem's retreat. I was there midday, and had a great brunch sitting at the bar. Service…

Salem's Retreat was an absolutely amazing experience. We went here for breakfast two days in a row. Everything is all made fresh. I had the pastrami hash Benedict which was all made fresh. I also had the home fries with it and they were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I also had…
