SASSY ONION STATE STREET REVIEWS

Stopped in for breakfast on my first full day in town visiting my best friend. Luckily he told me just to get the single french toast! It was AMAZING! I preferred the berry syrup for the contrast of the sweet and tangy berry flavor to the sweetness of the French toast. He had the cinnamon roll with apples and those apples were out of this world! I would eat them in a bowl alone.

We had a great time at sassy onion today. Bryce was our server. Bryce was amazingly attentive and got every single thing correct and the food came out at lightning speed. Also many gluten free options. We will come here again.

Food was amazing! Best chicken fried steak I have had at a restaurant. Tasted like home cooking by someone who really knew what they were doing. My dad said it was the best he had too! The Jam is so tasty as well.

ACME CAFE REVIEWS

I came here with my friend for breakfast and when we came in we immediately were sat at the bar and watching them make everything made my mouth water. Our waitress Kat was awesome. Very sweet lady, took very good care of us!! Once we ordered we got our food very quickly even tho the place was packed and the cooks were doing what seemed like a million things at once. Not to mention my food was amazing I got the classic French toast with a side of bacon. 10/10!!! The mimosas are good as well and cheaper than any other place I’ve been!! I’m very impressed with this place! The service(from everyone) and the food and the atmosphere!!! Marcus the cook also gave samples of all the gravies to my friend I was with which was awesome of him.

This a gem. Great place, great people, and great food. I had the chicken fried steak and it was amazing! Best in Salem! I can't wait to go back and try more.

Everything was fantastic. Hands down the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had. Custard French toast was also perfect.

FRENCH PRESS COFFEE AND CREPES REVIEWS

This place deserve a five star for food . We were visiting silver falls and needed to get some good food . We ordered the veggie panini, spicy cowboy scramble and both tasted sooo good . I got the NW smoothie and it was great . Cold Brie was out so we opted for cold americano which was nice too . All in all the food was great . Wait time was around 10 minutes and we visited on a Thursday at 12 pm . The person taking order on the counter was very polite and helpful . I would definitely recommend this place.

One of our favorite places in Salem, for breakfast or otherwise! It’s refreshing to have options other than eggs, bacon, and toast (although this place does have that as well). The environment is pleasant, the staff is friendly, the coffee is excellent, and the crêpes are always delicious and full of flavor. Definitely stop by, you won’t regret it!!.

Such a great little cafe! Savory and sweet crepe offerings for any craving. I had the banana and Nutella crepe which was fantastic, paired with a black Irish latte which was one of the best cups of espresso I've ever had. Will definitely be back again.
