Gerry Frank's Konditorei in Salem has been a household name in this area since 1982. This bakery/café with a black/white/red color scheme features black and white checkered floors, white walls with red trim, and large windows overlooking the street. Light-colored wood bistro tables and chairs, and fresh flower centerpieces, make this a fun place for an afternoon date. Konditorei, meaning pastry/cake shop in German, this restaurant serves far more than sweets, though diners won’t want to turn down the creatively decadent treats. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus include sandwiches, soups, and salads. There is also a wine list.
