Crema's Take
“Bonzai's creative matcha drinks (think strawberry-ube or their signature zen garden) are genuinely executed with care, and reviewers consistently praise both the quality and accuracy of flavors like their Filipino-inspired ube. The space itself draws people in—lofi music, cozy seating, beautiful design—making it feel less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like a place you'd want to actually spend time, whether you're studying, meeting a friend, or digging into their generously portioned shokupan toast. If you're in Salem and want specialty tea drinks that taste considered rather than gimmicky, this is the place.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Love the food and drinks here! Amazing vibe and coming here with my girlfriend is a lot of fun!
Being a college student, I LOVE this place. Best for studying, chill environment, amazing service and great menu. Personal favorites: shokupan toast with guava cream cheese spread and caramel white chocolate latte.
Food was delicious, as was the matcha (zen garden). Large portions for the price. Inside is beautiful - I couldn’t stay, but it looks cozy and comfortable.
I love visiting. Not only are the vibes immaculate (I mean, LOFI music playing many times I come in?) the hojicha is perfect. The staff is kind and welcoming, the air smells delicious, and the seating is comfortable and enjoyable. I sit and read, write, and study here often! …
Their drinks are very tasty! I ordered their strawberry and ube matcha, and as a Filipino, their ube was pretty accurate! I wish the ube itself was a bit sweeter tho. Otherwise, the strawberry matcha and ube matcha were both super good! I will for sure be coming back :) ♥️
