I was doing some research for coffee joints to hit up during our day trip. Blackcraft caught my eye so I made sure it was on my to go list for our Salem visit. After looking over their drink menu, I knew this coffee joint was a must go to spot. I didn't realize that this shop is in the back of Blackcraft Cult. A very beautiful but very dark store. I did mingle my way through the store to get to the coffee joint. I'm happy I didn't get too side tracked cause a mob of people came after me. After standing in line for a bit, it was finally my turn to head in. The shop is really small and has an 8 person limit inside. I was so excited I finally get to finally check it out. Walking in, I was mesmerized by how stunning this shop is. What caught my eye was the fireplace. Ughhhh, it's stunning! My dream fireplace. It's black, ornate and completely breathtaking. The dried flowers, the picture of the witches, the cute ghosts and the cauldron with more dried flowers had me daydreaming about having this fireplace in my living room. The beautiful chandelier illuminated the room. More dried flowers hung from the ceiling. All of it is just magical It's the most stunning coffee shop I have been to. I finally got my drink ordered. After looking over the menu earlier, I decided to go with the Slasher S'more. A dark chocolate toasted marshmallow latte wit all sorts of goodies on top.... how do you not want to get that? Magic mocha, Spellbound latte, Good Witch latte, whoever came up with these names and concoctions need an award. My drink was everything I had dreamt about. It was so good! It tasted just like a S'more. It was also crafted so delicately with toasted marshmallows, graham crackers and blood splatter. Stopping at this coffee joint was one of the highlights of coming to Salem today. I'm happy I was able to grab a drink, vibe out in the shop and be able to appreciate this stunning venue. I don't know if I'll ever be back but I can officially mark it off my bucket list. read more

I was excited to try this coffee shop after seeing nearly everyone I walked by that day holding a cup from here. I was hoping it would be witchy without being too touristy. That was pretty much the vibe, although there were fewer seasonal / spooky themed menu items than I would have guessed. There was a strong emphasis on pumpkin and fall drinks offered, which I'm not looking for in July. There is no separate entrance, you have to go through the Blackcraft clothing store. It's fun to look at and has some funky things - I've always wanted to check out the store anyways - but it smelled like moth balls to me which was wild for a clothing store, so I felt like I already had that smell in my nose while I was waiting for coffee and taking the first sips - not ideal. Service was pretty quick and kind of friendly. I got the Midsummer Latte, which was mostly raspberry flavored. It was the perfect level of sweet, but got a little weird tasting as it warmed up a little as I walked around the city in a heat wave, so make sure you drink this one pretty quick for the best effect! The freeze dried raspberry pieces on top were so tart and tangy, they'd catch me off guard every time I got one in my mouth but in a fun way! It made the flavor more authentic. The decor in the coffee shop was very fun, as were their take home coffee bag brew names (ex: Labrewbrew, lol!) It's a small coffee area and seemingly had no air conditioning, I was getting sweaty just standing around for the few short minutes it took to get my drink. I kept thinking the poor baristas must be so uncomfortable. Pricing was on the higher side ($9 and change including a tip for a medium ish sized specialty latte), but for such a touristy area I was (begrudgingly) expecting this. Overall I'd love to try it again, maybe next time getting the featured caramel apple drink that sounded good. Like a lot of places in Salem I experienced, it seems like they're just not super equipped for heat wave temperatures unfortunately. read more

Located inside the back right area of the Blackcraft retail store, this coffee shop is stellar! Their lattes have 2 shots of espresso in them. The actual coffee shop section only fits 8 ppl at a time, so a line can form quickly. There's no seating inside the coffee shop, but it's def perfect to grab a cup of hot coffee while you walk around in the cold. I ordered the blueberry cobbler latte (seasonal), but I was worried about it being too sweet. The barista said she could make it half sweet for me. Oh my goshhhh it was perfect half sweet! read more

This gothic Cafe is located in the back of the Blackcraft Salem. Cute small quaint location. Lota of coffee, tea, and refreshers to choose from. I ended up trying their blue raspberry lemonade refresher (forgot the name) and it was delicious! It was honestly on the sweeter side but I said heck to it and decided to just sip and enjoy on this VERY HOT Salem day. Employee was super friendly, efficient and accommodating. Definitely try this place out. read more

Loved Blackcraft Coffee! Fun menu with lots of flavors. I enjoyed my spellbound latte, it is made with pumpkin purée and it was super flavorful. My mom got the good witch latte which she really enjoyed too. Super cool decor inside too and there's a shop attached! Staff was friendly and coffee was made quickly. I can imagine it gets busy in October. read more

The coffee here is the BEST! Very talented baristas. The ambiance of the entire building is just fantastic. Lovely shopping for unique items. I usually don't give 5 stars just based on a cup of coffee, but theirs is SO good, I just had to. read more

Blackcraft Coffee - Latte with sugar-free pumpkin! PERFECT!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

*In October you must have a reservation* What an unfortunate time to visit, haha! I came in October and found out (via a sign to the side of a very long line I had already waited in for 20 minutes) that you must have a reservation to even wait in the line and order. I was able to secure a reservation because a woman walked up to cancel her appointment which was an hour out and she gave us the reservation. Had that fortuitous incident not occurred, then I would not have been able to try them out. First, this place is located inside the Blackcraft store. It's such an amazing store, it's my whole vibe! It's a small opening on the far right corner of the store. The line, even with a reservation is still quite a wait. When I came back an hour later, I waited once again. :( The menu is awesome and everything seemed really good and since this was my first visit I snagged two different drinks and both were delicious! Man, I wish I lived here! This would definitely be my morning stop. read more

I had been waiting 6 months since I booked my trip to Salem to check out Blackcraft Coffee. I stumbled upon it while doing research on what was a must to visit while in the city. Reservations are needed for the month of October because they get insanely busy during the Halloween season and I was so happy when I was able to snag one for the first day we would be there. The coffee shop is attached to a huge gift shop of the same name - it is located in the back and is very small. There are no seats inside - it's mostly a counter and some small items to look at and shop for. The inside is decorated so on brand and spooky - from an all black fireplace, to the pentagram with dried flowers on the ceiling to even their espresso machine that is shaped like a cauldron! We ordered the Borah's Caramel Apple Brew and a Haunted Hot Chocolate. I was obsessed with their cups and the branding on both the hot and iced drinks - they also tasted really good too. Staff were friendly and quick - we didn't wait too long for our orders to be ready either. I personally think checking out Blackcraft Coffee is a must when visiting or at least the gift shop! I hope to come back and visit again some day! read more

Stopped in because it's Salem. The giant witch in the store is eye catching and cool to see. We lucked out and the line wasn't awful. The coffee shop portion is well decorated and small so be patient if you see a line. Staff were friendly and recommended something off the spring menu. The strawberry matcha and it was very good. read more

This place is awesome! There was a line to enter, but we had reservations and went right in. As soon as you enter you notice the beautiful witch statue hanging from the ceiling and the Edgar Allen Poe decorations. Towards the back of the store is the coffee shop, which is nicely decorated with a fireplace and all things Halloween. We were greeted before we entered the coffee shop and also while our order was taken. We discovered this location on TikTok and for once TikTok did not lie! It was worth all the hype. We ordered two coffees. Mine was from the seasonal menu and it was the blood drip lotus. I'm not a fan of green tea but this was really good! This is a staple in Salem everyone must try! read more

First, there are two listings on Yelp that are related and have nearly identical names and the identical address. This review is for the coffee shop in the far right corner of the goth Blackcraft retail place. During spooky holiday season a reservation is required for the coffee area. Before I attended, I had the misunderstanding that a reservation was required due to seating. I viewed posted photos that led me to believe that I would be entertaining a spooky coffee cafe adventure hidden from view due to its amazingness and exclusivity. BUT NO. Let's dispell some myths. After checking in at the kiosk and verifying our reservation, we crossed through the big black double doors. We entered a space the size of a small bedroom. A window is roughly six paces ahead with a small set of shelves to its left. Almost every surface is black. The ceiling is black and dried flowers and twine are suspended from it (see photo). The right wall has a fireplace adorned with candles, cauldrons, dried flowers (see photo) and flanked by two locked doors. Above it, three skulls bite down on a dried flower swag. There is a seasonal painting centered above the fireplace (see photo). On the left is a compact coffee counter featuring a large cauldron in front of the coffee machine (see photo). Behind the counter and above the teenage baristas is a list of available beverages on a chalkboard. There are some artfully arranged vines too. That's everything. The beverages were tasty. We got two hot Borah Brew coffee's, a Sea Witch, and a Good Witch (see photo). Reality: It is not a cafe and there was no food. There is no table service or tables. 3 steps in and we saw all there was to see. Yes, it's festive. Yes, it's a fun photo opportunity. Mostly, it's well marketed and hyped by perceived scarcity. Yes, I would visit again and seek beverages IF CONVENIENT. However, I would not put much emphasis on this as a necessity to the experience. It's nice if it works out. Beware that the reservations are booked weeks or more in advance. Although we were told that no reservations were needed as of Nov 1 - that was not the case, and we did need to have a reservation several days later. The three stars are because there's not much to the coffee area, and frankly I found the hype misleading. However, the marketing deserves industry awards! read more

Some friends and I traveled to Salem in October and I snagged a reservation for this coffee shop. As you can imagine the vibes are perfection. The drink names were creative. The employees were so kind and very helpful. I also appreciate they let me change a coffee base out for a chai tea base, I love a fun drink but I'm the only non-coffee drinker of the group. All the drinks were beautiful and tasted even better, the gift shop out front was so much fun to look through and had some great photo opts, but what was impressive is how well organized it was with a reservation. In October things can get a little hectic, and the coffee shop itself is small. You check in with a host, they allow a number of people in that won't make the space feel too small, and they quickly make the drinks. It's a fantastic system! read more

What a fun place! The experience was amazing. However, I would classify the place as a retail store with coffee verses a coffee shop with items to buy. We found this place while searching things to do in Salem and being a craft coffee lover, I needed to try this place. The place is huge and witch themed in a vintage bank right in the heart of Salem. We needed a reservation to get coffee which was odd because they only have coffee. My friend and I thought it was a full coffee shop that possibly had coffee house/cafe options but we were very wrong. The coffee area is in the back of the store and only serves coffee. The line was not very long which made us scratch our heads to the need of a reservation. Only 2 people allowed in the coffee area at a time. Anyway, we placed our order and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Good Witch which was very tasty and fun. I mean how to you go wrong with a pink coffee. I also purchased a pound of blueberry vanilla to brew at home and I highly recommended that as well. Buy it! It's good coffee. It is a tad on the expensive side but I think worth it as a special treat while visiting Salem. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions and the telling of the history associated with the building. I would love for them to consider decreasing the size of the retail area a little bit, extend the coffee shop to be able to accommodate more customers, add a few tables and some witch treats like muffins, baked goods, etc. to make this experience even better. I will be heading here again in the off season. read more

I discovered this coffee shop when scrolling through Instagram for Salem-inspired activities. The coffee shop itself has a long line, so be prepared to wait a good chunk of time. I went in September and their busy time really kicks off to toward the end of the month. I waited about 20 minutes in line. I decided to order their caramel apple iced latte and it was honestly the best latte I have ever had. I wish I had something like that back home because the flavor was perfectly balanced from the fresh nutmeg on top all the way down to the caramel apple flavor in the latte. Staff were very friendly and also helped me and other customers with finding out how much it would cost to purchase their whole bean coffee. If I had more time in my day, I would have spent it wandering through the store inside and possibly booking one of their horror shows. read more

I loved this coffee shop! Their matcha is so good! Everything we tried was really good, especially the hot chocolate. During October, you need reservations to enter the cafe.

It's very beautiful inside and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The coffee was so good I ordered some online when I got home.

This is a very busy establishment. The majority of it is a gift shop and in the back is a small coffee shop. IMO more gothy/ satanic vibes vice witchy. If you come in October you will need to make a reservation online like weeks ahead of time. The staff was helpful and prepared for the large crowds. read more

Getting a reservation made getting our coffee a piece of cake. We tried a Carmel Waffle drink, Good Witch and a few kids hot chocolate. Everyone loved their drinks and it made walking in the cold a lot more enjoyable. The Coffee shop inside only allows about 8 people at a time, it's best if you can preview the menu prior and know what you want to keep things flowing. They're pretty quick to take your order and move a long to the next group. Loved seeing the large witch inside the store! read more

Coffee was delicious, when went during a time with no line so it was a quick in and out.

I didn't believe my daughter when she told me we had to get a reservation for Blackcraft Coffee....but in late September through October it's true! I made one weeks before our visit to Salem to ensure we'd be able to try the coffee. The coffee shop is in the back corner of the Blackcraft's gift shop. You check in for your reservation in the back, and you can browse the shop while waiting. When your name is called you go into the coffee shop. Helpful tip: the amount of people you added to your reservation is the amount of drinks you are expected to purchase! We did our ordering and after a short wait received our spooky coffees! I had the Caramel Apple Iced Latte which I loved! It was a fantastic fall drink. They also have regular coffees, like Americano, if you want just a simple drink, as well as hot chocolate with different flavor options. The service in the gift shop and the coffee shop was very friendly. If you're in Salem this spot is worth a visit. It will get you ready for spooky season! read more

We were on our way going to a light house so we planned to make a quick stop to Salem upon entering it looked as it was an old bank back in the day. Very dark but that was the ambiance for the business. the coffee shop is in the back right corner of the store. There's a couple seating in a hallway outside the shop. We ordered both iced lattes of the good Witch and a vanilla latte. The drinks were ready on a timely matter. There was only a handful of people during our visit. I personally didn't like my drink. Not sure if it's because of the type of oat milk used for the drink that I got but it tasted like an overly sweet seasonal creation from Mcdonalds. "the good witch" was a red velvet with ground cinnamon, vanilla with optional whipped cream and "fairy dust." I believe I opt-out of the whipped cream, but I was not a fan of the drink. I ended up throwing it away because it was too much and didn't like the taste of it. My Wife didn't really like her coffee as well. There is paid meter parking in front of the store along the one-way street. Verdict. I would give this place another shot if I was in the area. Maybe it was just the drinks that we got. Give it a try! read more

We went in November so there was no Que or anything, we just walked in an ordered coffees. I knew ahead of time it was more for the vibe and a pretty coffee but I actually was really impressed and enjoyed mine, so much so that I went back the next day. I got an iced latte, it was something with waffle cone pieces and cinnamon bun syrup. I got no whipped cream because idk why anyone would put that on coffee, and it was great. A good mixture where I could taste the sweetness of the sauce but also the coffee and towards the bottom the moo-shy pieces of cone would come up the straw and I actually loved the added taste. I was really surprised to enjoy the latte so much! I also got a 4 pack of the pumpkin bothered. Though I didn't necessarily taste pumpkin, the root beer itself was satisfying and yummy. I did not get the coffee beans even though so many flavors looked good because they didn't have roasted dates on them. I'm a snobby coffee girl so I like a fresh bean and when they don't have dates, you know it's not really a quality bean. My only gripe would be the price. Each latte was $10 a piece. That's wild. I would say $8 max even in a tourist area. I will say, they use plenty of ice which I love because a lot of lattes are made with almost no ice or the ice melted from pouring the espresso right on it. This was a full cup so it was cold and refreshing. read more

If you can't get a coffee reservation you at least have to stop in to say hello to Salem's largest witch figure, named Nydia, hanging from the ceiling. This witch is a permanent art installation and not a cafe employee lolol. The store is definitely GOTHIC but that's okay. A lot not the fabrics were super soft and well designed.
