Dough Hook Bake Shop

I have made the trip three times here. I have yet to find more than four or five of one item. I come in I ask? Girl on phone ignores me. I ask. She turns around. Better time to return? No answer. Third time. I’m done

The owner of this shop is amazing! We happened upon it when I had an appointment next door, and for a couple of Pirates ☠️ we were ecstatic to unexpectedly such a cool place. The pastries were so fresh and delicious! We need to 0lan a raid here with a bunch of Pirates!

Looked like a great bake shop online and I was excited to try their donuts. However, upon arriving I saw tons of trash and homeless people in the neighborhood and parking lot. There is a consequence for businesses when the city could care less about keeping things safe and clean! Tell Salem to get it's act together!

This place is fantastic! The cruffins are to die for! Last time I went there they were all out, so they offered to put filling in a regular croissant... They were so good! one with a cream filling and one with a cream cheese. I would literally order those again.
There is a surprisingly wide variety of pastries and all manner of donuts.
I believe they have vegan selections.
They also have cold drinks.
I did see a sign that said to request about gluten-free options so I'm curious to see what they have in that department next time....

Good place for a cake or simple dessert in the middle of the day.

Drove 45 minutes just to come and see it's closed. When clearly posted online they are open. Frustrating.

You walk in and they don’t greet you or make you feel welcomed!

I just moved to the area recently and I swear I have ordered from these guys at least seven times. Their donut are fresh and soft and their selection of croissants is sensational. I would personally recommend the Boston Crème and the pepperoni croissant. Oh I almost forgot, there are a LOT of vegan options here too. The marionberry and maple glaze are my sister’s favorite from the vegan options!
I do hope they get more filled donut options because I don’t know how they make the crème inside but it is divine

My daughter heard about this place on Reddit so we had to go. We were going to be in Salem today so it was perfect timing.

I had a Crème brûlée and she had a toasted coconut. This was my first time having a brûlée of any kind. For me it will be a one time thing, not a fan. But the filling was superb. The pastry was moist and almost fluffy. I can't wait to try others. My daughter said hers was the best she has ever had and agreed about the pastry.

If you haven't tried it yet it is well worth it.

Delicious donuts and other sweet and savory pastries, the likes you'll find nowhere else.

Oh my! These pastries are off the hook delicious! Have patience. There may be a line, but it's worth the wait. Go early for your best choices.

I was rather disappointed after seeing so many talk about it , donuts were dry , and almost crusty hard . I was hoping it would be great like voodoo donuts 😕

Super disappointed Spent nearly $30 for 6 donuts that were completely incorrect and all I got in response was sometimes DoorDash has the wrong pictures!!! Pretty much an “oh well” I am a paying customer… I visit my daughter only a couple times a month as I am busy, she lives in Salem and I work and live in Portland… I live to see her smile… To see the disappointment on her face before I had to rush to Portland was disheartening If there is a problem with DoorDash posting the two can hash it out… I mean for that damn price do the customer right, not leave them fuming for some crappy overpriced regular donuts!!!!

Great tasting vegan donuts (front row) of display. Other options available. Well priced. Walk up counter style. Clean and very friendly service. Plenty of parking.
