Excellent food and service. Busy, but tables turn over. Great overall vibe. Nice patio out back for warmer weather. Solid choice for breakfast, brunch and lunch.

honestly it looked nice but what got me what my French toast being so wet, and the servers being really rude. One moment is when a customer asked if they speak Spanish and they were met with a "nope" and moved on. It's ok to accommodate for people that don't speak English! My experience with service wasn't as bad, but this lady did raise her voice at me for leaving the door open- I'm not your kid! Watch your tone. Won't be back but yall can go if you like. *Update*; see how they responded to me because of a simple review (which was 3 stars but now it must be dropped:/). if you have an opinion, don't eat here‍

Went on a Sunday morning around 11ish. Sat our selves at the bar and got greeted/menus within a couple of minutes by the bartender. For a place that is not that large they do a decent job of utilizing the space to seat customers and also make it not feel super cramped. They have some fun drinks on the menu and the breakfast menus has a lot of options. Once our order was placed the food was brought out within a reasonable amount of time. The only one thing I'd make a suggestion to is please look at the ticket of any requests made by the customer (ordered well done has browns sadly there were not)The value of the meal was satisfactory and the overall experience was good.From the outside this place may not catch your eye but it is worth checking out if you are looking for a spot in Salem,MAParking: Parking lot is in there back if it is full try to find street parking can be tough. In the lot if people park correctly there's enough spaces if not sorry you're out of luck parking there.Wheelchair accessibility: No accessible in the front due to stairs. Unknown if there is a back entrance.

Great food and great, friendly staff. We arrived and came in through the front before realizing that the back was the "main" entrance. Was offered a seat at the counter but opted to wait for a table for 3 to open up. The staff was really attentive and updated us when tables were about ready to leave. The food was excellent with lots of options for all of us. It has a fun and eclectic vibe.

First visit was late in their day -- within an hour of closing so I was prepared for them to rush us along, but was pleasantly surprised when we found a very comfortable atmosphere. We parked behind the restaurant and there was ample parking in the lot. It's easy to miss the turn to get to the parking lot as it is just beyond Salem's Retreat. There is a long covered walkway that leads to the rear entrance of the restaurant. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a bartender who told us the hostess would be right with us. She seated us in a booth and we were quickly served with the most delicious coffee! It had vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom in it, and we both loved it. I ordered the turkey sausage eggs benedict which was served with hash browns. Totally amazing dish. The turkey sausage is homemade there and it was delicious with a spicy flavor that I will come back for. Eggs were just right, and the hollandaise was fresh and not overwhelming. Hash browns were lightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Nom nom nom! The place was busy but not too loud to easily converse. If you haven't been here I suggest you give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Tips and eggs were amazing! Although service was not great… no one checked up on me to make sure if I was okay & I dined in alone. Hopefully next time is a better experience!

Stopped into this cozy retreat for a stellar breakfast. Greeted warmly and served our coffee and tea while we pondered what to drink for this birthday breakfast!! Delicious Screwdriver and espresso martini followed! The real star was the amazing breakfast and the lovely Hailey serving us. I opted for the homemade turkey sausage Benedict. It was so tasty. Highly recommend this sweet spot!

Had breakfast delivered and we'll definitely be having again! The burrito was delicious and the home fries were some of the best I've had since we moved here in April.
