    Family owned and operated cafe offering baked goods and homemade German inspired dishes. I don't eat desserts due to my diet, but their cookies, cakes and brownies are irresistible and taste just like how grandma used to make em. You can tell the owner puts a lot of love and care into her menu. -German dinner platters -Cakes -Cookies -Family owned = Great Service

    This past summer, I learned about the Olde Salem Cafe at a farmers market. I think it was the Schaumburg one. Anyhow, I had the most wonderful brownies that day they had prepared and I knew I would have to visit their storefront soon. I was in the area looking for a quick bite to eat when I remembered they were nearby. I turned right where I thought they were and I was exactly right. They are located in a small strip mall directly across the street from Long John Silver's. This is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" places. Literally. The window coverings are kinda haphazard and it looked dark inside, but the open sign was lit up and so I wandered in. While it was dark inside and a little chilly, it definitely smelled fantastic!! And I was greeted by the sweetest lady. It took me a while to decide and while I was working through my options, she took multiple phone orders. Looks like they do a great carryout business for lunch! Then a couple came in to take a look. I quickly learned they had been here before and knew exactly what they wanted. There is a self serve refrigerated case in the front filled with brownies, tarts, homemade banana bread, zucchini bread, blueberry bread, streusel, cookies and beyond! They unloaded a bunch of items on the counter, paid and quickly took their sweet goodies to go. It was decision time. They make their own pretzel rolls. I absolutely had to try one. So I had a grilled chicken sandwich on a pretzel roll with fresh cut French fries. I also took home a yogurt fruit tart and a mini zucchini bread. Let's break it down: The pretzel roll was actually shaped like a pretzel which was cute. But more importantly was how fresh, soft and tasty it was. This was a five star item! The grilled chicken was a little but like a chargrilled chicken and a bit too charred in some areas for me. But it was seasoned and juicy in the center, so it was still pretty good. The fresh cut fries were lightly salted, hot and greasy. Aren't these the perfect adjectives for fresh cut fries? The yogurt tart was suggested by the sweet woman working there. I think it's about five layers. A cookie layer, a thin layer of something like jam, a layer of sponge cake, the thick layer of yogurt that didn't really taste just like yogurt but rather had a deeper thing going on there and a top layer kinda like jello but not. And the fruit. This was rich and creamy and awesome. Truly a five star item for me as well. I cannot comment on the mini zucchini bread yet because I haven't dived in and it's hibernating in my fridge at the moment. But it looks awesome and if it's anything like the rest of the food, I'm guessing it will be another home run! Without a doubt, I will be stopping by again soon to try some more of their tasty treats and savory menu items.

    We love the desserts ( especially the brownies) there but sadly it closes on Sunday when we really want some apple pancakes...

    Had the egg drop noodle and Kahlua Kuss (which means kiss in German) for lunch today at the Olde Salem Cafe. They serve "family recipes from Gernan Heritage". I've had their pastries before and they were delicious. They will be catering the jembalaya and kings cake at the Village's Mardigras business networking event Feb 17 @5pm. Check it out on Old Salem circle in the shopping center east of the Long John silvers on Irving Park Rd.

    Just heard about this little place and had to try it. So glad we did. Super friendly service and the food like home cooking and priced quite reasonable. We definitely will be back to try more of their wonderful menu and will do our best to spread the word about this little gem of a place to eat.

    Just found the Salem Cafe tonight and thought we would try it out for take out. The service was fast! It was very affordable, the portions were big and the food was good too... It tasted like home cooking! Looking forward to trying the pastries in the future.

    I was not sure what to expect but I am glad I walked in. The food was good and it is all made fresh. I had the pull pork and my wife had the Italian beef both were good. The fries are made to order you can't beat that. The location is the only down fall because it is easy to miss. If you know the area it is in the plaza next to the Long John Silvers off Irving Park Rd. The brownies were real good be sure to try them.
