Hello readers of my blooming blog! I have found a new local business in Salem that would be perfect for my blog!

The Konditorei (310 Kearney St SE  Salem, OR 97302) is the second place I will be sharing for your new adventures around Salem, Oregon! This little restaurant is known for it's delicious cakes and pastries! The Konditorei certainly does not disappoint, I about inhaled every dessert I saw in the display cases. 

The most noticeable thing people see while driving by! When I was little I would
always tell my mom I wanted to go where the baker was. 

This friendly business was opened in 1982 by a man named Gerry Frank. He also has a book on the history of The Konditorei which I heard was really snazzy and captivating! (http://gerryfrankskonditorei.com/gerrys-book/  also available at Roth's and The Konditorei)
Gerry wanted to give his cake shop diner feel but still have that slice of elegance (get it? slice? like a slice of cake) that made his shop look mouth watering.

This place is so cute! It has the diner feel but still feels elegant! I sorta fell in love 

The Kondtitorei serves breakfast, lunch and dinner! My good friend Julia Silver and I went there for dinner, and while she got a sugar free italian soda, I was scoping out the menu trying to make up my mind on what I wanted! I ended up getting the house salad because I wasn't super hungry, but the salad was huge and extremely filling, and it was also a great price! The next thing I am totally going to try when I go back is the homemade mac and cheese! Who doesn't like mac and cheese? It sounded so yummy!
People have so many option to choose from on the dinner menu! They have soups, salads, sandwiches, and so much more! Their cake options are seriously endless, I could not even process how many cake flavors they had, it was like walking into cakeland instead of candyland.

A demolished chocolate macaroon 

When I explored this bakery/diner with Julia, I decided I was going to be a glutton with absolutely no shame. I was going to take a picture of this mountain like macaroon, but it looked too good so I dived into the delicious looking dessert, and I don't believe I came up for air until it was almost gone. I highly recommend getting the macaroon! I almost bought two, I probably would have developed high blood sugar if I did that though.

Frosted cream cheese brownie. It's so rich! Sorry about the bite in the corner :) 

This was the other dessert I purchased. It was so rich and chocolatey that I'm pretty sure after they bagged it for me, I left it at the register, oops. If you're the kind of person who loves frosted and rich desserts, this is the brownie for you! Their brownies are so huge, it's almost the size of a piece of cake. This brownie probably took up half my face.

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go!

I hope you enjoy my totally not sugar free post!
