Since my last outing at The Gulu Gulu Cafe, a lot has come up in my mind. After much consideration, I have come to a realization. I will no longer be performing or patronizing at the Gulu Gulu Cafe. In good consciousness, I cannot support a place that keeps a staff member on that openly makes customers and staff uncomfortable and makes fun of their open mic guests behind their backs. Incredibly disappointing. This is not slander or hazing. Just an expression of my frustration that a once fine and fun establishment has degenerated into a toxic environment because of one extremely bad apple that has ruined it all for the rest of us. Until that “apple” is totally removed and, even better, forbidden from the premises, I will not set foot in that establishment again. Feel free to message me if you have any questions… Best, -Andy Connolly-

All the staff were super nice. During peak season lunch hours, the waiters were overwhelmed and missed our table. When they got to us they were really nice and apologetic and comped our drinks. A very kind response to a reasonable mix-up. The food came quickly after we ordered and it was great! Thanks to the staff and happy October!

Ordered a simple coldbrew with some Splenda. Tasted like watered down day old coffee. Took 2 sips and tossed it.

Food was great, definitely worth a try and awesome vibes. They have a bunch of Halloween specialities on the menu so it’s worth visiting and getting the full experience

We did not have to wait for a table, we went at the end of September before the big rush. I think the food was good for the price that it was. Service was friendly, bathrooms were clean.

Really enjoyed eveything about this cafe for my first time in Salem! Great atmosphere and decor, my breakfast sandwich was delicious and the wait was not long at all (weekday at about 9:30-10 am). Prices were great and everyone who I interacted with that worked there was very friendly. Definitely recommend ????

I am so grateful for all the women who worked here the other day. My blood sugar dropped dangerously low during my tour and I ran in here. They took such good care of me and the food was delicious. I am so grateful for them I cannot express enough how kind these individuals are who worked here. I will recommend this place over and over again. Beautiful place and beautiful staff with the kindest hearts. Thank you again everything was amazing

Great coffee! The beer selection is varied, the food is delicious and we had good service. Despite a lot of people, we had little wait and were served quickly! Great work from the team!

I checked online (bring Fido) if they allowed dogs, they said yes. I got to the cafe and asked the staff if dogs were indeed allowed inside, they said yes. I waited in line for over an hour, they brought me inside and sat me down and then came over and said dogs aren’t allowed inside. Very upset. Hoping others don’t make the same mistake.

My girlfriend and I went on arguably the busiest day of the season and service was good and food was great. I had the lumberjack, chocolate and peppermint coffee, and apple cider mimosas. We enjoyed everything about the restaurant and food. We’re definitely coming back.
