This is definitely a great venue. It reminds me of a place you’d see in Seattle. Poke Bowl was amazing, crazy amount of Japanese drinks. And you get a feee Pokémon card!!!

This place has a beautiful, comfy atmosphere with bamboo, a tree, paper lanterns and soft lighting. They offer couch seating, tables, booths, and bar type seating.
The food is delicious and unique in my experience- I had the “egg salad sando” which was not what I expected, but everything I wanted.

Shokupan! Onigiri! Bubble tea! Lattes! What an amazing, magical place to have here in Salem. Purple Panda boba + egg salad sando = heaven. Can’t wait to be back to try more of the menu.

Such a cool new place in Downtown Salem! We needed a good Japanese food & drink space. Super chill vibe inside with a diverse, but not overwhelming menu!

Walk into Bonzai Coffee Teabar and you feel it immediately. The Japanese aesthetic isn’t slapped on as a theme — it’s thoughtful, layered, and intentional. Every detail has been considered, and it shows.
Brent, Jeff, and Kira worked incredibly hard to get this open, and the care they put in is evident the moment you walk through the door. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. The drinks are excellent.
Salem needed this. We are so excited to have Bonzai as part of The Forge community, and I have no doubt it’s going to be one of those places people keep coming back to — not just for the coffee, but for how it makes them feel.
Go check it out.
