Sweetly Baked - Salem

This afternoon went and bought a brownie and a gf pb chocolate cookie. they were delicious!

I get cupcakes here far too often to not upgrade my rating. Love Sweetly Baked! Their cakes are also fantastic and worth the money.

Was looking for a place that sell cookies and sweet treats and decided to give this shop a visit! The shop offered varieties of cupcakes, cookies from the jar, kolaches, they also had hot cocoa bombs, and many more goodies to choose from. I got sausage jalapeños and brisket kolaches. I didn't enjoy the sausage jalapeños kolaches due to a strange smell of the bun. The brisket kolaches was decent. Didn't enjoy the cookies as much as I'd like. The cookies was too much flour and tasted off, possibly the used of white sugar and baking powder. Although the cupcakes were delicious. It wasn't overly sweet. Service was decent. I would come back for their cupcakes and trying other items on the menus.

I caught wind of these tasty morsels called kolaches recently and low and behold, they were located right across the street from my work!! Looking for a quick, easy, and inexpensive meal on my lunch break, I gave them a try. My only complaint was that I couldn't try them all. Lol. A kolache is a sweetened yeast roll filled with sweet or savory goodness, and along with the standard flavors, every day they have a special flavor or two. I tried the BBQ Brisket and the Chicken Verde. Both delicious!! The lunch special came with both kolaches, a side (homemade potato salad with bacon), and a drink for $10! I saved half of each to share when I got home, and was plenty full. I even went back the next morning for a breakfast kolache, ham, egg, and cheese, and it did not fail to impress. I also tried the Cobb salad in a wrap for $9 and wow!! They do a great job on all of their food. You can taste the love. The sweet treats were taunting me the whole time I was there, as they look and smell amazing, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. This might not be a place you think of to grab a quick lunch, but there was no line, the servers were friendly and offered their suggestion when I couldn't decide, and seemed to genuinely care about me as a customer. I will be back...

The best savory kolaches I've had since leaving Texas.
