This place offers beer and wine breakfast they have lots of gluten-free options far as Crepes go. They were very busy our waiter was just wonderful but we had a couple other negative encounters with staff probably overworked and stressed out with incredibly busy in Salem. I think at another time I would’ve given this restaurant at much higher review. Overall everyone in Salem seemed very respectful as far as Covid goes I ran into a few people without masks although we were mostly outside where it didn’t matter.

Loved this place! Awesome gluten free and vegan options. Good coffee and cocktails (even for morning brunch!). I wished I lived closer. Would be there every day. Service was also amazing. Had a really calming vibe to be honest.

LOVE we came for breakfast, the crepes were amazing. Coffee selections are great and taste amazing-definitely quality. We came back again for late night drinks to warm up after walking around in the rain. The London fog tastes like fruit loops and the Hazel Cafe was delicious. If we lived locally wed be here all the time. The atmosphere is super chill and cozy.

I cant really complain. I dont like to wait in line, but we were visiting on a Sunday in October and this place is right on the main strip in Salem.The host admitted that there was only one cook in the kitchen. Clearly they were doing their best, but they were short staffed.The food isnt fancy, but its honest and fairly priced. Coffee is good.

Me and my wife went here the week after Halloween around 9am and there was no wait at all. It seemed short staffed as Robert who was the host was also our server and told us when we walked in that he was the only one working for a good half hour until more servers would arrive.I ordered the Berry Nice crepe which came with blueberries, strawberries, honey, and yogurt. The issue was that the crepe was swimming in a huge pool of yogurt and honey. So much so that it spilled over the side of the plate. I could barely taste anything else except the yogurt.My wife got the breakfast crepe with onions and bacon which was fine but the egg was a bit dry and it didnt seem like any onion was actually in it, or if there was some then it was hard to find. My hot apple cider was delicious though and so was her mimosa.

Amazing selection of brews and a very delightful interior. We grabbed the cluck Norris and a crepe for some light eats and both were right on point.They have some board games and card games if you want to enjoy a nice drink or tea with some friends. Music playing was a nice listen as well.Hosts and hostesses were very friendly, even with the large influx of patrons due to the season, they kept their upbeat and friendly attitude and should be commended for dealing with some of the patrons.Will definitely visit again, most likely when the streets aren’t swamped with people as their can be a bit of a wait otherwise.

Really cosy place. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the people there were really nice, and my latte was really good. Be prepared to wait especially around Halloween but it is worth the wait and the prices are very affordable!

Delicious!! Many gluten free and vegan options available. We ordered a traditional breakfast crepe with eggs, vegan cheese, spinach, tomatoes and onions which was very large, definitely worth sharing. We also ordered a blueberry parfait-like crepe topped with granola and maple syrup.

The place had a lively atmosphere and had a couple of authentic dishes on menu. Only thing is that it took a while to get the food out and the food I ordered was lukewarm and not as spicy as I told it would be but still enjoyed it.

One of the best coffee shops in Salem! Indoor and outdoor seating. Brews at night. Funky atmosphere with open seating. we had coffee and all drinks we tried were amazing..

I get that it’s going to be busy on Halloween weekend, but if you have 5 tables and they are all in a row, you should be able to check on the tables. I think we were spoken to twice in a hour while waiting for our check for over twenty minutes. I feel like I had to flag this guy down as he walked by me over 10 times. So annoying. Our plates are stacked, our jackets are one and we are just waiting.Food was regular, my spiked cider was good.

Waited over 3 hours to sit. Food was very good ! Gluten free and vegan options which is awesome. The food and drinks took a while to come out but it seemed short staffed which isn’t there fault.

Went there with my friends during Halloween week. Salem. For Halloween. The whole town was PACKED and this brunch place was so efficient, it blew us away. From waiting list to check, it was amazing service. Unique lattes and great food, thank you for fueling our visit to Salem!

Although I wasn’t greeted in the most welcoming fashion, the food out weighed the service. I finally found gluten free vegan crepes! The menu had wonderful GF options on breakfast classics. The bartender was great and the art in the hallways headed to the bathroom was fun.

Do yourself a favor and stop onto this adorable shop. It feels like home, but also incredibly cool. They even have bingo. Ask the wonderful people who work here for their recommendations. You will not be disappointed. I had the sour dough grilled cheese sandwich and it was heaven in my mouth

A nice cafe that is obviously short-staffed but doing their best to deliver a good experience amid a pandemic. The menu underwhelmed me and wasnt really anything to write home about, but the air conditioning was strong on the sweltering summer day we stopped in and that was honestly all I cared about at the time. I loved their gender neutral bathrooms, as well as the fact that the last bathroom is priority for their staff. Overall it seems like a nice place that is rooted in the community. Great vibes and awesome art; Im about it.

Food was excellent. Servers were timely and friendly. Great atmosphere. And tasty mimosas!

Such a cute spot for breakfast and coffee. Got a traditional latte with alm milk— perfect! The vegan breakfast sandwich on a bagel was so good. The non-vegans had yogurt with granola and the ‘lumberjack’ breakfast. They loved it as well!

Delicious food, complete with multiple vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Would recommend to anyone.

When it’s not Halloween season, this place is an oasis of calm, with delicious breakfast sandwiches and crêpes, and good service. If you want to feel like a local, get out of bed and walk over when it opens, and chill out. It’s a Salem gem.

To start, I will say I am in the F&B industry. I understand the staffing shortages. Initially upon reading reviews it seems like this place may be good for breakfast. I was wrong. There was a short wait to be seated. Not a big deal at all. After finally being seated, it took 30 minutes to even be acknowledged by the staff. Zero eye contact, no “ I’ll be right with you.”…nothing. My girlfriend eventually went to the host stand to ask where our sever was. She was told, “ We just seated a lot of people.” Finally we were approached by our sever. We we rushed into a drink and food order. Another 30 minutes later finally got our food. Mind you it was simple breakfast food. Over an hour for eggs sausage toast, a waffle bacon and more eggs. Both of our plates were cold and missing simple items like and butter.Bathrooms were trashed, no paper towel. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go here for breakfast unless you want to have a terrible experience.

Great breakfast and fun atmosphere. Also an eclectic beer selection though it was early so couldnt partake...

I completely understand the service worker shortage and it’s busy. We called right before we parked and there was no wait. We arrived and it was a 30-35 minute wait and we gave them out phone number. We were fine with this and plus it was early and there wasn’t many people around yet. We waited an hour, asked about our table for two and we were told we were next. The host came up and asked for our name and phone number. He didn’t have it and said he probably entered it in wrong. He sat us down immediately and said sorry. We sat there for fifteen minutes and no waitress or waiter came up. The host came up and said someone would be there soon. A few minutes later, a waitress came up and started taking our order. Before I could finish ordering, she told us about the wait time for food which is 45 minutes. We told her no and got up. Before we left, she said sorry but its been busy. We are aware of this but I guess she didn’t know they lost of phone number and we were waiting for over an hour…

Subpar food and awful service. No one was at the hostess stand to seat us and our food took 40 minutes to come out. The waitstaff don’t pay attention to you and one was quiet unfriendly. They made a minor mistake and didn’t even apologize for it. I don’t recommend eating here considering that there are better places in Salem. I know the pandemic has taken its toll on restaurants but that’s no excuse for poor customer service. The vegan mac and cheese in this photo was for takeout and it looks like they just splashed it into the box.

Got a quick lunch bite here. Good attentive service, but other things could be improved. The table was sticky, the impossible burger was over powered by the raw red onion, and the goulash was super spicy. Tables were 6 feet apart but was pretty full when I was there.

We stopped here for coffee as the name amused us. We all like what we ordered, the people were friendly. The decor looked good too.

Im a local and I am so lucky I get to come here often before I start my work days!

Loved it . My Waiter was very nice. The atmosphere was pleasant.

Dominican Sancho. Bull it was spicy the server did not hear what we ordered did not advise spicy we ordered bowls gave us cups Thank goodness was cold.

Advertised as takeout or dine-in. Be forewarned, take is only beverages per management. Tried for takeout of food items and was told No. Tried to sit and order food and was told No. I guess that explains ALL the empty seats as none was forthcoming from the host. There were only a few people taking up tables on laptops in the restaurant on this Monday mid-afternoon. Certainly a slow time for staff. Would have thought with all the empty seats, management would have welcomed paying customers.

After waiting 15 minutes the lead waiter finally came to take our order. We placed our order and then waited another 30 minutes. It turns out the lead waiter forgot to put our order in, while facing us eating his own breakfast... When the food finally did show up the orders were wrong and the server picked up one of the plates and our food slid off the plate and she pushed it back onto the plate with her forearm, bare skin and served it to us while wiping her arm off at our table. Avoid this place at all costs.

Good vibe, had a good egg breakfast sandwich on a croissant

Went with a group of 5 yesterday and had a great experience. Everyones drinks and food were delicious, and the staff were really nice. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Service was a tad slow, but we were there during lunch rush so its understandable. Also the artwork on tje walls and general vibe were really cool. Would happily go again the next time I visit Salem!

I was excited to go here as there is many vegan options for my partner, but service we received was beyond terrible. After waiting over 45 minutes for our food, I finally flagged down our server to ask for how much longer our 2 simple lunch entrees would be and she came back to let us know “our ticket got lost in the kitchen.” We waited over 30 minutes after that and finally received our food. There was no lack of coverage for tables and it was not overly busy (if it was, I could’ve excused this) The food itself was fine but there was no acknowledgement, comp, or apology. but as someone who has worked in service I would’ve at least apologized and attempted to rectify the situation. We are only in Salem for a short time and missed a tour while trying to have what was supposed to be an enjoyable lunch. Would not recommend.

This was IT for me. Not many places can do great work with healthy and indulgent options but they did. I got a brie and green apple crepe and my husband got a waffle with sausage, eggs, etc on it. My crepe was a charcuterie board made into breakfast and the waffle was crispy and soft as a waffle SHOULD be. Their coffee drinks are wonderful. Id definitely go here for breakfast every week if I lived here. 🤤🤤

Waited 3 hours for a table and then waited over a hour for food. Service was absolutely horrendous. Food quality was a joke, overcooked and gross. Save your money and time and go elsewhere

Really good food and our server was great- super upbeat

This is a quaint little place with a friendly and attentive staff. I didnt eat inside but it looked like they have a bar in there. They used to have music on occasion. Hopefully theyll start that up again. Anyway I was having breakfast and enjoyed a good cup of coffee while waiting for my order. This is not your typical eggs over easy with home fries kind of place. I had a Belgian waffle which was served with fresh fruit and real maple syrup. It was quite good. Im not a crepe person but they have both savory and sweet ones on the menu. Next time perhaps which means Ill be going back. This fact is probably the best thing you can say in a review. Go, enjoy and maybe sit outside next to that horrendous statue of Elizabeth Montgomery. ;>)

As a vegan, I cant say enough good things about this place. Although not a vegan restaurant, they have amazing comprehensive plant-based options. I had their sweet specialty veg caramel apple crepe and savory vegan breakfast crepe the first time I went, and the charles & cheese vegan mac and cheese the second time. Holy macaroni, these were all amazing. I crave crepes always but dont have any great vegan crepe options near me, and Im very picky with my vegan mac & cheese as theyre usually not very good. I only wish I got to go more times! If I ever come back to Salem, this will be my first stop, even if I have to wait 1-2 hours again for it!

Hands down our favorite cafe in Salem. Prices are pretty fair, the food is consistently amazing, staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is top notch!

Delicious breakfast. Great tea. Good options for dietary needs. Vegan and gluten free crepe shell was on par with traditional crepe shells I have had. Veggies for traditional crepe were fresh.

We were just turned away because they were too busy for takeout orders. It’s a Monday and we told the young kid up front that we just wanted coffee.Very strange…

Excellent veg options including a Beyond Burger and vegan mac and cheese but the service left a little to be desired. The drinks and food sat for awhile before they were delivered. Kitschy, fun atmosphere too!

Great place!!! It has a variety of wonderful breakfast options. I had an elvis belgian waffle which was amazing. They are also gluten and dairy free friendly. The artwork and inside the building is fun and done by local artists. At night they have a great beer selection. Check it out the prices are great. The staff is super helpful and friendly !!

Absolutely horrible wait staff.. we waited more than a half hour for a table.. once seated we waited waited another half hour without a single person even asking if we wanted drinks.. we decided to leave and it was at that point the waitress smarted off about them being busy serving others.. which is fine but don’t seat until you can at least offer your customers water.. won’t return!!

My sister and I were pretty disappointed with our lunch today. My food came out cold and the vegan mac n cheese left a lot to be desired. The “cheese” was so bland and the description said it was supposed to have breadcrumbs on it which it didn’t. The service was pretty slow too. Also, this is kind of our fault but we forgot to ask for the type of bread we wanted for our sandwiches, but shouldn’t the server usually ask you when you’re ordering? We didn’t even get our drinks until after our food arrived and they never asked if we wanted another once we finished them. My sis had to go up and ask for our check because they didn’t bring it and we were there for over an hour. The best things I can say about this place is that they have an awesome beer selection and that the bartender and hostess were really nice.

The only thing funky about this place is its name. The food was excellant..the best grilled cheese ever, beautiful salads, wholesome soups, and the staff were great also

Food was mediocre. Didnt justify the very long wait to get inside and the wait to be served after ordering. Price was about average I suppose. Even with no wait, I dont see myself returning.

THIS PLACE IS TOO GOOD. We are visiting from out of state- I’m vegan and my wife is not- but she even admitted that the crepe was one of the best she’s ever had. We ordered the vegan mac, bruschetta, and the trio dip made vegan. The staff was friendly and the place had a great vibe. For dessert we got the vegan brown sugar crepe... with sweet vegan cream cheese. UNREAL. Eat here. 💚✨

There were plenty of vegan options for both brunch and the regular menu. The lattes were great, the carafes of mimosas were great, and the drag show was awesome!! The service was superb!

Phenomenal menu of healthy and delicious brunch fare with many daily specials and friendly staff. They had plenty of outdoor seating and heat lamps. And it’s a phenomenal spot to people watch if you sit outside. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

Terrible service…actually no service. Was asked if we wanted to don inside or outside told them outdoors then was told “it looks like it’s drizzling” maki g us feel like she preferred for us to sit inside. Then we were seated inside in the corner and no one ever returned to even get our drink orders.watched multiple people be seated after us and get service. After about 10 minutes of sitting we got up and left.

We had a very bad experience. We waited 45 minutes for two salads. Server only told us after 45 minutes they were out of granola. Then we waited 30 more minutes for a crepe. There are multiple servers per table, thats what makes it so confusing. Would be great if you only put one server per table

Great cafe. Cool local scene, that they have tapped into. LGBTQ+ friendly. Excellent food. Good craft beers. Fun scene.

I went twice today - once for coffee (iced mind sweeper was amazing) and then again for lunch. The cozy morning latte and vegan breakfast sandwich on sourdough with pickled jalapenos and avocado were both unbelievable. I’d come everyday if I lived closer.

This place has very quickly become my favorite. Me and my friend come here on vacation from NY and we look forward to coming here now. Highly recommend!!! 10/10 food and 10/10 service!!!!!

This cafe has terrific art and friendly staff. We got sandwiches and later, which were very filling. They had vegetarian and vegan options available. The bathroom hallway had amazing art; even you dont have to go, I would suggest looking at it. The only complaint you would have is that our server didnt come to us after she delivered our food. We ended up asking another server for water and our check.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, but the Brie crêpes were dry and pretty much Brie-less, too heavy on the ham.

Absolutely fantastic, from the service to the food to the atmosphere. Very welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious. We had a person in our party who had a gluten allergy and were extremely understanding and accommodating to that. Cannot recommend enough.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy and eclectic, which was a plus. Service was also good as the restaurant was very busy. I ordered a bloody mary, which was oddly sweet compared to any bloody mary Ive had. I ordered the Santa Fe crepe which was pretty dry and bland. The rest of the parties food was okay, nothing to write home about. Seemed kind of expensive for what we got, granted it is in downtown Salem so location probably contributes to that.

Hostess ia the most beautiful girl in Salem.!!

We were in Salem for the a long weekend and went here every morning. The ambiance is very relaxing. If you see a pup dont be surprised. Everyone is welcome at this joint male, female, K9, you name it! They have an AMAZING oat-milk cappuccino. Their breakfast is delicious and the serving sizes are just right. Later on in the day, stop in for an alcoholic drink and live music.I would definitely recommend Gulu Gulu Cafe to anyone that is in the area. We will see you again for sure. Thanks for the welcoming vibes and yummy breakfast!

Very cool ambiance, yummy food, with a good amount of vegetarian and vegan options. I got the breakfast crepe with additional veggies, and the flavors and textures were all good, although I would have preferred cooked spinach instead of raw. One of the big draws was their beer selection, which I knew my friend would appreciate. And the service was great. Will totally go back!

Quirky in the best way. Great options for breakfast as well as lunch/dinner. I love that they have a Belgian beer selection!

So much fun! Great menu! Visit Sunday afternoon for a special treat. Gluten-free and vegan options!

Love this café. Long line but worth the wait. Friendly barista. My cappuccino was A+ .

We had pretty unpleasant experience with the cafe. We ordered a vegan dish but they come up with the chicken, later they replaced it rush and taste was bad.

Took our honeymoon and the tail end of our road trip is in Salem, Massachusetts. Stopped in here for breakfast. And it was awesome! Had the lumberjack special and a french press. First real cup of coffee since we left buffalo, NY! Thank you we will be back when we visit!

I went out with my 2 sisters & we decided on this cafe as there are VEGAN dishes on the menu. The food was really delicious and the wait staff, Margo & Liz, were very friendly & knowledgeable! Thank you! They are an asset to the Cafe!! : )

One of the best coffee shops in Salem! I am a tour guide and a guest from Italy said it was the best espresso he had in America, which is a big compliment. Indoor and outdoor seating. Brews at night. Funky atmosphere with open seating indoors.

I love the atmosphere, friendly staff, good vegan options, and amazing coffee.

I love their crepes & coffees. Decent beer and cocktail list too ! 👌

AHH-MAZING!! The vegan crepes and vegan burger WOW the flavor combinations are phenomenal 😋

This was a great haven on a cold, wet and windy day in Salem. My goulash was just delicious. Coffee was ok - not great. Our server was extremely attentive, friendly and pleasant. I was very amused by the toilet signs and surrounding artwork.

Service was slow, not sure how the pace is around here or what. It took me getting up to place an order at Take Out before our server returned. It took over 10 min to bring over a beer on draft- we were sitting right next to the drink station. Im not quite understanding why the service is lacking when there are multiple servers and the inside only had 3 tables- if that. (Total of 5 people indoors). If I return to Salem, I probably wont be back here. If you think 2 hours is enough time to eat here and be on your way-it probably wont be enough time.Edit to add- there were multiple staff available, not a staffing issue but a training/management issue.

Cool menu, really good craft beer selection. Nice staff, great service. Definitely recommend it. The goulash was good but not what I expected. We arent local so maybe its not the same everywhere. I thought pasta, beef, tomato. No pasta. No tomato. Just braised beef. Interesting coffee and tea selections.

The food at gulu-gulu cafe is wonderful. The chicken salad was so good I purchased another sandwich to bring home and the pickles, wow wanted to find out where they purchased them so I could go out and buy some....they are homemade!!! To top off this wonderful experience was our awesome waitstaff Margo, with Liz in training. We will all definitely be back. Loved this cafe.

Very cool coffee shop with an inviting atmosphere. A variety of menu items and beverages including some interesting breakfast drinks. The food was decent. The service was not great.

Ordered hot chocolate, Beyond veggie burger both tasted good.The staff was extra cautious and came to the table many times to enquire about food and taste. Definitely worth a revisit.

Love this place 💜

Absolutely one of my favorite cafes in the US! Awesome food, coffee and beer selection with very friendly staff. We always stop by here whenever were in town.

Food was so subpar, and service was slow and unfriendly. Our crepe was a composition of dry, flavorless chicken embedded in a mash of refried beans and sour cream, wrapped in a gummy outer shell. I dont know how they could call it a crepe - it was like a gummy burrito. The salad was basically greens and dressing - hardly any of the numerous additional ingredients listed in their menu. Food was not cheap either. I think this ranked among the worst food I have ever had at an establishment that considered itself a restaurant - I would expect a high school student to produce better food than this.

Our food was fine. The lox bagel was great and came with a lot of toppings. Their Chai lattes are really weak - its pretty clearly a tea that they steep regularly then add milk to rather than a concentrated Chai mix so its really weak and watered down flavored.Low stars are mostly due to service. We ordered, then waited 30 minutes with no food or drink until our server came and told us she forgot to put in our order and asked if we still wanted to wait. We did, then a bit later asked how long the wait would be and she said another 20 - 30 minutes. We asked if our food could be moved ahead in line since we had been missed and she checked with the kitchen then said no. Ended up finally eating almost an hour after sitting down and having to send one drink back because it was missing espresso. Pretty disappointing experience and caused a big delay to our one day visiting Salem.

My bf and I went here every day during our Salem trip. We kept going back and it became our favorite spot to meet up because the food, the drinks, and the service are all excellent. I only wish there was one closer to where we live in Florida. I would go there all the time!

Goulash is highly recommended. It reminded me of my Eastern European Grandmother I dont even have. Filling and warms you up quickly. Great beer selection too.

Cozy, clean and the guy that served us is super nice.Even if it was the last call he let us stay and get our drink at the table.Very recommended

Server never came to our table to take our order. I moved to the bar and it still took 10 min for someone to acknowledge me.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly waiters, great food, and lots of fun games. Would eat here every day if I could.

Wasnt bad, but also nothing special. Staff was nice but service was a bit slow. They were also out of a lot of menu items when we were there, 930 on a Monday

This cafe has a great vibe. The service is friendly, but disappointingly slow.We were there over the Columbus Day weekend but there was no line out the door. Seems like it can seat alot more than the kitchen can handle.The food was average, and definitely not worth the 45 minutes it took to arrive. At least the prices were reasonable though.

Alright... so we took a little stop to warm up and I fell in love with this place... best service ... hot chocolate is just delicious - one cup is not enough. The draft list of beers is honestly perfect. Prices are affordable . They got a great vibe of music and atmosphere. Would totally come back again!!!

Average. Good location, good place to drink something and relax.

Seems like a cool and hip place. Had a terrible experience with gluten poisoning though. They have GF on the menu and I was very clear in ordering but I did NOT get a GF crepe as ordered. I did get violently ill a few hours later. I made them aware of it a few days later when I could sit upright again and the general manager has been attentive to the incident - well see where it lands. So for celiacs like me, be careful For young millenials like my nephew - the food is average but fine and he was more than happy with the good vibes and general atmosphere. Glad for caring management, hopefully theyve rooted out any servers who would rather roll their eyes than take an order. So its a place to have fun as long as you stay safe with what you eat.

Food was DELICIOUS. Out of this world. I had a great earl grey tea drink with vanilla syrup. So good. The menu was a bit small, but the mimosas looked amazing and I want to try out the bloody marys. Amazing food, good service, good vibe.

Chill local Salem spot for a coffee or a beer with friendly staff, and fun art via Greg Orfanos.

Visited Salem for 5 days. Went here every single one of those days. Staff is fantastic, drinks and coffee are amazing, and the food menu was tasty and the tight amount for a day of walking.

Great vegan options, nice outdoor area and lovely staff.

This place is decorated perfectly, the staff is REALLY nice and the coffees are delicious....unfortunately it lost stars for the food. My breakfast came out cold and it sub par for sure, I was really looking forward to some good breakfast but it fell short for me here. I would Definitely be back for coffee though!

The food was amazing. Sadly the wait between being seated, ordering, getting beverages, and then food was long. Once we were informed how short staffed and stretched thin they were it made it so much easier to be patient. The food was great.

So many vegan options, and delicious food
