Relaxing ambiance
Teena N.

I was excited to see that they had Vietnamese coffee and not only that, but they spelt it in vietnamese, so it must be good and taste authentic, right? Wrong. Nothing like viet coffee, the description is correct. But it didn't taste like condense milk, or the type of coffee they used wasn't bold enough. Well, the coffee didn't taste that great overrall. The cafe was super cute though, inside there's board games and the seating area looks very comforting. The barista was very nice though. Enjoy!

Cinnamon bun latte & the green eggs and ham sandwich. Sooo good!

Normally don't leave reviews at all, but this cafe was so good we had to leave one! From the Buffalo area & love small coffee shops/cafes... we tried the green eggs & ham sandwich and the cinnamon bun latte & funky monkey latte. Best breakfast food/drinks we've found in the area so far! will definitely be back

a bagel and a pumpkin

Chose this coffee shop on a whim while leaving Salem for the weekend. It was the best meal we had while in MA. The pumpkin latte was fresh, homemade, and tasted just like pumpkin pie which is what I always want pumpkin coffee to taste like. The bagels were soft and fluffy and soaked up the maple syrup so perfectly. Wish we lived closer, I would eat here every weekend!

This place is amazing! Honestly best coffee I've ever had in my life. The staff is friendly, the coffee is my new favorite, and the food is delicious. I also love the writing on the tables, nice added touch!

Fuel your joy with caffeine!

Stopped in Saturday morning for the first time. Great selection and we both got a Nutty Bee. Ordered mine with almond milk. He asked if it was preference or dietary. Didn't charge extra since I'm lactase intolerant. How nice is that. Steady stream of customers. Only suggestion would be to add some acoustical music, but the sound of people chatting and visiting is quite nice too. Check it out!

Regular small coffee, chocolate croissant, nice window seats!

Found this little gem on TikTok and I am so glad that we came! All of us couldn't decide what we…read morewanted, so we tried a couple of different options. We tried the North Shore, Whole Hog (on a bed of tots), and the bacon egg and cheese! We also got 2 side orders of tots. I loved all the food, every bite I took was delish! There tots were hot and crispy and well seasoned also. For the coffee I went with the signature "The Crave", which was so delightful. I got it with oat milk and it was smooth and delish as well! The inside of the place is just a cute hip vibe. It's a smaller cafe with some seating along one of the wall of window, and then they have some tables. Right when we arrived, every table was packed, but by the time our food arrived, tables opened up, which was nice. It seemed that most people would turnover the table quickly to allow for others to sit. The staff were super friendly and patient, and all around great place to have breakfast in Salem!

My friends and I came to this cutesy small shop to grab coffee/brekky prior to our day in Salem…read more Looks like they have 2 locations. One in Salem MA and one in Beverly MA. Parking- didn't see a dedicated lot, looks like street parking only. We found a spot down the street, walkable distance. Looks like we made the right choice, because the place was poppin. Lots of folks coming in & out. We were lucky enough to snag a table for the group while some of the group stayed in line. I noted several groups of ladies with cute witchy style outfits very fitting for Salem, that could def be OOTD worthy on IG. Service- seemed fine. My friends ordered for me at the counter while I held down our table, so I can't speak to the ordering interaction. They were speaking names out very low for pick up at the counter, I remember that. Food- I got the North Shore sammy - which comes with maple bacon, over medium egg, chedder cheese, maple aoili on a croissant. The egg was runny just what I like, and it was yummy and bigger than I imagined. Very filling. I could have just split one with my friends, but everyone got there own. So I left more full than I wanted, because I didn't want to take away. Drink- I got a latte, that was fine, nothing to write home about. If visiting this charming town try it out. I saw mostly tourist, so don't think it's a locals hang out. But it's not a trap luckily, lol.
