"Enticing Menu, we went for breakfast; & ate lunch instead. sounded so delicious. Hard to decide. Not the same boring dishes like everywhere else so I couldnt wait. Our waitress was prompt & patient with me. I had her come back 3 times cuz I couldnt decided. She recomended the pork belly fat with onions & rice! It was SUPERB! Good prices. $19.00. YUMMY! I will visit again!"

"Great spot. I stopped in for a coffee and had a genuinely good experience. The server was helpful without trying too hard and actually took the time to talk. He shared how he moved from California to Salem over 10 years ago and gave me solid, honest tips on places to check out around town. The atmosphere is relaxed and intentional good art on the walls, not random clutter. He also explained that they host open-mic comedy and have bands play from time to time, which fits the vibe perfectly. It feels like a place that actually supports local culture instead of just pretending to. I’ll definitely be back."

"We had a great experience at taproot yesterday. I took my daughter's and they loved the food. I had the sticky wings and they were done to perfection! My oldest daughter had a breakfast sandwich and the upbeat had pancakes and bacon. Overall it was delicious. The atmosphere is a little dark and we liked it! Our waitress was also the bartender and she did a fantastic job of being attentive to us! We will definitely be back."

"I celebrated my birthday here last year, and all my guests were very happy with both the food and the service. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly, and everything went smoothly. A couple of weeks ago, I came back just to enjoy my favorite — and very delicious — couscous salad. However, I had to wait around 10 minutes just to place the order, and then another 20 minutes for the salad to arrive. Today I stopped by again and ordered a juice. First, I had to wait 5 minutes just to be seated (even though the place wasn’t crowded — only 3 other tables). Then I waited 20 (!) minutes for the juice. In total, 25 minutes for just one drink. Luckily, I wasn’t hungry and only wanted to enjoy the juice while reading. I stayed at the table for another 30 minutes, but no one ever came to check on me or bring the bill, so I had to leave the money on the table and walk out. To sum up: the food and drinks are truly delicious, and the place has a beautiful, cozy atmosphere. The staff are kind — but unfortunately, very busy and not attentive."

"This place is a rare find in that they actually have products like vegan mayo or milk choices with everything from hemp, soy, almond, coconut, and regular so you can really build out your options on things like smoothies or other food items. They have vegan sausage and vegan cheese too. The menus are coded to stand out for these types of meal choices. They offer varieties of things like Brussels sprouts, edamame, and even samosas. Fries, tots, and onion rings. House made vegan patty for those folks that don’t want the usual beyond or impossible type options. All these choices and more are small ways to show that they care and they’re all well made and delicious. The amount of drink options for juices, smoothies, and more are enormous too. The folks there are kind and accommodating and the portion sizes are great. You feel like you get a good return for your money. The atmosphere is really nice. The small touches with an actual lit candle at the table or the ceiling that looks like a sky as well as other ambiance decor were well thought out. There is a lot of room in there for seating and doesn’t seem loud or crowded. It’s a child friendly place that made your kids feel like they belong. Our last waiter even gave the unicorn stuffed animal its own ice water. They had a nice round of activities and crayons available. I mentioned a lot of vegan options and this isn’t a vegan only place but that also means there are substitutions that cater to almost every need. Pricing is very reasonable. It’s clean. They’re also open late and on weekends."
