Venti's Victuals

I ordered online. It was ready in ~20 minutes, but then I had to wait in line to pick it up. It would be great if they had a separate line to pick up orders. I ordered the Thai peanut wrap. I think the onions overpowered the other ingredients. Also, the sauce was much spicier than I expected, but I do have a low tolerance. The fries were a little soggy. Overall, the meal was okay, but I probably wouldn't get it again.

Pros: clearly-marked vegan options, outdoor seating

Cons: no separate line for picking up orders

My favorite!

Venti’s is my favorite all-around restaurant thanks to the varied and frequently updated vegan options, the atmosphere, the bar, and their newly renovated outdoor seating area. It’s the easiest place to go with non-veg family members and their vegan food has never disappointed me!

Pros: Quality vegan options, Knowledgeable and helpful staff, Clearly marked vegan options

Cons: Serves meat , Bring back the Beyond/chorizo blend burger ❤️

Our go-to place when we are in Salem

We have been here twice and have enjoyed both visits. Call us simple, but the tater tots were just plain amazing. The Korean bowl was also good. Portions are generous, especially the nachos. Ample outdoor seating to physically distance. Friendly waitstaff.

Pros: Tator tots yum, Friendly staff, Outdoor seating

Cons: Not fully vegan

Lots of options!

Love going here, never disappointed and I feel like they continue to improve. They have so many vegan options that are all fairly healthy and also delicious & they have an entire vegan menu if you ask. Get the vegan sweet potato fries! 😍

Good stuff

Very good food, friendly staff made this place a good find in downtown Salem. The Thai bowl and the sweet potato fries were very good. The garlic sesame tofu rice plate's tofu had good flavor but the veggies could have had more. We'd go back though.

Delicious food and great staff

We ate lunch at Venti's. Since we had never eaten there before we had a lot of questions about the mention. The person at the register was very patient and actually happy to answer our questions. She even brought me a sample of the soba noodles so I could see if I liked the flavor of the sauce I would be getting.

While not all the options are vegetarian, almost all start as vegetarian entrees and you pay extra to add chicken, fish, etc. Our plates both included a great assortment of vegetables. The food is flavored with actual spices and not salty as one often finds in other restaurants. Our only complaint was the desserts were extrememly unhealthy and heavy. They should at least offer a fruit plate or salad if they don't want to offer a cobbler or crisp. Creme brulee and flourless chocolate torte, while tasty, are simply heart attacks on a plate. They are also laden with calories so don't help their guests easily maintain a healthy weight.

We loved the food, enjoyed the experience, and even discovered they have a separate vegan menu to make it easy for vegan diners to not have to sort through an entire menu. There were many options on that menu, too.

Pros: Tasty food, great variety of vegetables, Food flavored with spieces, not salt

Cons: 2 unhealthy dessert options, no fruit

Allergy sensitive, friendly service and yummy food

If anyone is ever in Salem, I highly recommend Venti's Cafe! On top of having a designated gluten free menu and labeling the vegan dishes, they happily check the dish I wanted and sauces for soy and corn! My meal was amazing too! A great mix of brown rice, beans, veggies and fresh spices with sweet chili sauce on top :) I will definitely remember their "happy help attitude" that makes me feel safe eating and tasty food! And of course, any place with kombucha is great in my book!

Pros: Knowledgable staff, Gluten free and vegan labeling, Family friendly

Cons: Everything fried uses soybean oil, Kitchen is a little loud, No variety for me (allergies)

this place rocks

There are two locations, one downtown and one on Commercial/Alice. This review is for Commercial/Alice.

Terrific selection of Vegan options - the menu is broken into Apps, Flatbreads, Sandwiches, Bowls, etc. and each section has at least one (often 2-3) vegan options.

They have TWO vegan burger options.

They have an entire section of vegan/veg bowls.

The vegan flatbread is delicious for an appetizer.

You can add organic + GMO-free tofu to anything for $3.

They have outdoor seating., great if the weather is cooperating.

The beer selection is large.

We are from out of town and usually starve when we visit family up here...so we will be back regularly.

Venti's!

Venti's is a restaurant in downtown Salem which serves many vegan and veggie options. I like the veggie tofu plate myself with a purple haze beer on the side, it always gets the job done. There is a speakeasy bar downstairs for the folks of age. It is very comfortable with tables and chairs in a dim light, the bartenders are very friendly and the beers are just fine. If you are looking for a place to eat in Salem, this is the place.

Pros: Good food., Nice atmosphere., Not too fancy.

Cons: Only one location., Food costs money, which i rarely have., Hipsters love this place.
