Manna Bakery

We found this place by surprise, and it was a wonderful surprise! It's a beautiful space. The lighting is warm, the art on the walls is pleasant, and the tables are wooden. It's a relief to find a place that hasn't moved to the industrial style of decor. It feels very welcoming to humans. Great bread. I love bread, and the pecan roll made me want to come back again. I hope some of those croissant twists are in my future! Very good prices on the coffee. I will say that I usually have dark roast coffee, but I tried a medium roast during my visit. It was pretty good... once I let it cool down. If you like to drink your coffee while it's piping hot, the dark roast is probably a better bet. I'm definitely glad I visited, and I highly recommend it.

Great baked goods and especially bread. I’ve had a few of their pastries and their Marion berry croissant twists are not to be missed. The gps led me to the alley which is not where it’s located. The entrance is on State st. and I included some photos to help locate it. They also have games and reading material so it’s a great place for kids or just to hang out. There was live music when I went as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Manna Bakery is such a gem in Salem. The space is clean, bright, and inviting, and the staff make you feel right at home. The pastries and baked goods (marble rye) are absolutely delicious and fresh, a perfect mix of comfort and quality. I especially loved the thoughtful touches—when I visited, there was a lovely art display on the walls and even live harp music playing, which made the whole experience feel extra special and memorable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for not just great pastries, but also a warm and unique atmosphere in the heart of Salem.

I love Manna, it's my bakery of choice in Salem! The coffee is delicious from Steelbridge Coffee and the breads/pastries - chef's kiss! My favorite is the pecan roll, but everything I've had is delicious! If I was on my phone, I would post the pic of my mocha and pecan roll because they were perfection!

Best bread in Salem. They use great artesian recipes with wholesome ingredients and local grains. Be sure to check out the produce and products there from the Willamette Local Food Coalition. Super fresh and interesting selection from local farms.
