Crema's Take

“The wildly inconsistent reviews suggest Periwinkles is a gamble—some regulars rave about the Reuben sandwiches and bagels while others complain about rude staff and soggy bread that's made them sick. If you're willing to take a chance on good days, the full breakfast menu and outdoor seating make it worth a casual visit in Salem, but don't expect the warm, welcoming vibe the place apparently used to have.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

What an amazing find! I'm beyond happy with my Reuben sandwich (saving half for later) and the red bliss is a keeper in my book. Can't wait for the clam chowder for dinner

Very delicious bagels, bagel sandwiches, and scones. Had the Iced Tea and an Iced Coffee (forgot tot request sugar so make sure you do if you like it sweet)! Great stop for breakfast.
