Best Restaurants, Food Carts, and Bars in Salem, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Before you smell the scent of Manna Bakery’s delectable treats, you’ll spot the bright and cheery yellow entryway, the ideal spot to spend a relaxing morning in Salem. Owned by couple Lydia Shore and Dirk Liechty, the bakery began as a stand at Salem’s Saturday Market. Standout items include sourdough bread and both sweet and savory pastries: Find flaky danishes and filled croissants, tarts, chunky cookies, and several varieties of bread and cake. Like all good bakeries, there is a full espresso bar so you can enjoy a cup of coffee inside, outside, while walking in nearby Riverfront Park, or taking your kids to the nearby carousel with animals carved by local woodworkers." - Emily Teel
