Great choice - Edit
This spot is right in the downtown area. It’s a great choice for a quick but healthy meal.

Is always a solid choice - Edit
Updating my review from several years ago to state that NESF has yet to do me wrong. Always 10/10 fool-proof soup.
Read moreThere is always at least one vegan option and several vegetarian options, and after going here often for a few years I have never had a single bad vegan soup. The menu rotates a lot and it might be a while before they get that soup you loved back in, but that’s okay because I like variety. Their website is updated daily for what soups they have.

Cons: Menu constantly rotates, if that bothers you

Cute lunch spot with tasty vegan options! - Edit
Menu on the board is clearly labeled with VV designating vegan options. I had the lemony lentil soup with wild rice which was SOOO delicious (trust me, I've had lentil soup hundreds of times in my life). A 12 oz soup with a roll was $7.80. Also had half a vegan hummus wrap on lavash which was simple yet well executed (lavash wrap was a nice touch that added structural integrity). That altogether was very filling! Would definitely come again!

Delicious soup and lovely service! - Edit
Although there was only one vegan option (more vegetarian ones) the vegan soup was really tasty. It was around $7.50 for a small portion and a crusty roll. Would recommend a visit - the staff were friendly and helpful and the cafe itself is very cute

Delicious soup - Edit
Their soup was very tasty, but they have only one vegan soup per day. It's still good enough place for a vegan visiting Salem since it's conveniently located in the center. The staff upre also very helpful and nice!

Awesome soup - Edit
What can you say? " Soup is good food" DK. Their vegan soup, the ones I've tried, have been good and soupy.

Yummy! - Edit
This place wasn't the most comfortable to eat in. It was cold inside and not very comfortable/cozy. Also, when we went for dinner there were three vegetarian soup options left but two of them were made with chicken stock, so that really only left one option. The man that helped us was thoughtful enough to tell us they had chicken broth, but it would have been much better if they made all the vegetarian options truly vegetarian. There were about ten meat options so they could have easily skipped the chicken broth on those two. Having said the negatives, the food was amazing! The one soup option i had luckily was delicious, the sandwich was also fantastic, the wheat rolls that came with the soup were great. The service was also friendly.
