Love the cranberry scone. The servers were so sweet even though they were crazy busy. It's a tiny little place, but if you are wanting to pick up a coffee and breakfast to go, it's amazing. They also sale homemade dog treats for the four-legged customers. We will be going back tomorrow before we head out. read more

Nostalgia (Somerville MA) resells a box of the Coffee Time donuts in the store. Jelly coconut with butter cream!!

Use to have very good bagels that they out sourced and now sell a lousy flavorless, not chewy at all . Different vendor so they won't see me there anymore read more

The counter person that helped us was very nasty! My wife didn't read the warning sign that you "MUST order a bagel before ordering anything else" while picking out breakfast muffins. Decided after to order a bagel after and the reaction from the staffer was rude. Will never go back! Don't go unless you like rude help. read more

We stop by for pastries whenever we're in town. Love that they have both full sized and mini bismarks. Our favorite is the raspberry kind. The frosted shortbread cookie was also surprisingly good- nice shortbread base and buttercream on top. Tasted very rich in the best way possible. They have a variety of coffee drinks and seasonal pastries too. read more

2024, back again. We now go every year and the quality has never changed. I got a raspberry Bismarck and a chocolate Whoopie Pie. My kids got some other things. A cannoli, carrot cake and not sure what else but everything was amazing! read more

Coffee Time Bake Shop - Cannoli, choc whoopie pie and carrot cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Coffee Time Bake Shop is dangerously delicious. from the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a case stacked full of (nearly) every possible pastry imaginable. i've heard their lunchtime pizza is pretty popular. I have been loving their banana foster coffee which is the flavor of the week, but they don't have flavored cream options. I went home to add french vanilla almond creamer, and I recommend bringing your own if you're on the go. i also loved their iced vietnamese coffee. is it the best coffee ever? no but definitely better than DD. i've tried their peanut butter & fluff donut, it was so ridiculously good and nostalgic; i tried their bagels which are big, fluffy and fresh, and their blueberry crumble donut which i liked but it was blueberry jam inside, not exactly what i expected. they have breakfast sandwich options as well, but they are $9 with egg, cheese and meat. even if you just get egg & cheese, it's $9. it should be a little less if you're not getting meat, although it is on a huge croissant (if that's your choice of bread), with 2 eggs. it's very old school interior, it's more of a takeout place although there are tables inside. the line can get crowded and the staff are all great, patient and helpful. they're open pretty late too. read more

We stopped here for an afternoon treat and coffee. With my drink I enjoyed a light and delicious scone, a favorite. My friend enjoyed her canolis. It's a real neighborhood place. Great for a break. read more

Everything there is delicious. Especially the bismarks. My sister loves the scones. But you can't go wrong with this place.

Heard good things about this place and decided to give 'em a visit. It was a brisk 10-minute walk from Salem Common, which was pleasant. I was a little taken aback at just how busy the place was, even at 6 pm. A constant stream of people parking or trotting in from down the street to be greeted by the incredibly efficient team, swiftly taking orders for coffee, donuts, bismarcks, etc. It's a bit cramped and overwhelming when it's busy, especially if you've never been there before and want to look at the huge array of options. However, the staff are so helpful and efficient! Decided upon a bismarck, which was absolutely delicious, fresh, and the star of the show, along with an apple cinnamon muffin, a pineapple coconut orange muffin, and a peanut butter jelly donut. Everything was extremely delicious, all you'd hope for and more from bakery goodies- flawless *Chef's kiss* This place is AMAZING. Love that they offer dog friendly patio seating and dedicated free parking, too. Definitely do not miss out visiting this place. read more

I've been to Coffee Time a number of times as I love the Scones. I decided this time to get a breakfast sandwich and a medium ice coffee. I was taken back at the price of the 2 items. However, I was not disappointed. The breakfast sandwich was excellent, and as always the coffee is the best around. The staff is always friendly too. read more

I'm writing this before I even ordered my list of pastries. The attached picture of a very unhappy employee does not make for a very good photograph of all your pastries. Teach the young man to get some personality. & learn to smile. read more

My friend grabbed a hot chocolate and a chocolate mousse cake and both were delicious!! the service was quick despite being quite popular! The ambiance is very warm and cozy.

Last night I had the most delicious vanilla cake with vanilla frosting at a friend's birthday party, and they told me it came from here. I'll be ordering cakes from here from now on! read more

Most darling coffee and bakery off the usual path of Salem tourists. We were told about this place by a local, and this is now our go to spot for breakfast. Super cute shop with a few seats inside, but it's perfect for a quick meal on the go. Their employees will get you out the door in a heartbeat. Home of breakfast sandwiches that will hold you over well past lunch, fresh bagels, and pastries that I wish I could have mailed to my house five states away. And homemade dog cookies. I absolutely love this spot. Am currently disgruntled by their choice to drop their delicious peach iced tea, which was my absolute favorite, and the corn muffins that I dream of. Please consider bringing them back. I'm not going to say I won't return if you don't; we both know that's a bold lie, but... I'd super be excited if you did. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident. It's off the beaten path but I highly recommend making the trip. The pastries are AMAZING and they also offer egg sandwiches for breakfast. They are open 7 days a week from 7am-11pm so you can stop by for a sweet treat to start off and also end your day. read more

I have been a loyal and returning customer for years now. Recently I have been getting birthday cakes this past year from here and I cannot recommend them enough! Their team went above and beyond for this cake, I told them what I wanted written on the cake and that it was a golf themed party. This was beyond what I imagined and was so happy with how it came out. Thanks for making the day even more special. read more

Looking for a late night bakery to fulfill our sweet tooth desires....walked 0.8 miles to find coffee time bake shop. Wide variety of choices of cookies, dog treats, pasteries (tiramisu, esclairs, and so much more!) the coffee was deliscious and so was the peppermint hot chocolate. Haven't tried the pumpkin or chocolate Whoopie pies we also bought but they look spectacular! If you have a sweet tooth we highly recommend stopping here! read more

Ok, any time we pass this awesome bakery we have to talk ourselves out of going in. Yup, it's that good. First off the parking lot is small but there is some on street and side street parking. I've gotten gas across the street and just parked there for a few minutes as well. Their goods are excellent. Donuts go fast each morning. Lots of options for breakfast sandwiches and nice selection of muffins, bagels, coffee cakes , cookies, cupcakes, cakes of all sizes and flavors, pies whole and slices eclairs, scones, Danishes, cheesecake sheet slices of pizza starting at 11 AM or can get yesterdays reheated in foil prior and lots of items you won't find anywhere else. Lots of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, seasonal cold drinks like lime Ricky's ect. The owner is on site in the kitchen and there are some small 2 top tables with street views through large glass windows. Have some staff that have been there for years and lots of teens in the summer. We got our wedding sheet cake there years ago and was excellent. Oh and there are some outdoor seating which is nice in warm weather. read more

We were staying nearby and so glad we found this place. If there's a line, don't worry. It moves very fast. Everything we had was great. Croissant breakfast Sammies, scones, bagels, shortbread cookies were all great. Highly recommend plus they're open late. read more

Food and service are great. The Ambiance is old fashioned coffee shop. My favorites are the raspberry tarts

Always a great spot for exceptional pastries and friendly service. The selection is consistently fresh, beautifully displayed, and thoughtfully prepared.

Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat or picking up pastries for a gathering, you can count on quality and consistency every time. A dependable favorite that never disappoints read more

This is exactly what you'd want in a coffee shop/bakery. They're simple and efficient and all of their offerings are fresh, well-priced, and phenomenally delicious. I highly recommend their Bismark which will blow you away. That fresh cream cannot be beat. Cakes, pies, cookies, scones, and some of the best fresh-made donuts I've had in a long time. This place can get busy but they are quick. Don't miss out on this gem. read more

Love this place. Great deserts and drinks at reasonable prices. You can't go wrong with anything they have.

My fiancée and I recently visited Salem for four days, and breakfasted at Coffee Time since it was very near our Airbnb. The shop is friendly, and the food is amazing! My fiancée loved the bismarks, and I thought highly of their breakfast sandwiches on an everything bagel, as well as their coffee rings (cinnamon rolls to us from Denver) and muffins. Great value, much better than the tourist traps in downtown Salem, and highly recommended! read more

Incredible! Loved all of the beautiful, homemade, and fresh pastries. Our coffee drinks were also perfect and made with care. The staff is kind and, as far as how busy this place is, they get you in and out (or you can dine in), quickly in a totally mellow way. They have inside and outside tables, it's clean, and is exactly what a "donut" shop should be. I have to say that no "donut" shop on the West coast can top this "donut" shop on the East coast. Most importantly, for me, is the employees and visitors are honest. I accidentally left my purse in their bathroom and didn't realize it until about 2 hours after leaving Coffee Time. I had driven all the way into Maine by the time I realized how absent-minded I had been and, when I phoned, Rob was top notch and advised me that someone had turned my bag/purse into his staff after he asked me to identify the bag. I am forever grateful for all involved's acts of kindness. I had everything in that bag and they kept me whole during a week that was already filled with one too many heartbreaks. I highly recommend this small, local, and very yummy breakfast, lunch, coffee, and dessert establishment to anyone looking for an excellent experience. read more

I am so sad I don't live closer to this place, because they have the best peanut butter and jelly donut! I'm not a big donut person, but this donut is the best one I've had. We also ordered carrot cake, pumpkin pie, cookie and glazed donut, it was all good but the P&J donut is special. The staff was also very friendly which made our experience even better. read more

Best in the north shore for real old fashioned doughnuts and real whipped cream fillings! They never disappoint!

Was just walking by and decided to stop for a apple cider donut and glade we did. It was a very yummy treat. The lady behind the counter was very nice. The store was decorated for fall and super cute. read more

My friends and I were walking in Salem and stumbled this little bakery. We are so glad we did. I bought a box of mixture of pastries that I forgot to take a picture of them. Each pastry was fresh and hit that sweet tooth. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Salem. read more

I'm glad I don't live closer to Coffee Time. It's dangerous there! For Chanukah they are the only place that sells real sufganiyot. These like jelly donuts and they take orders ahead of time. You know it's a great place because Atomic Cafe which is tasty and reasonably priced, gets all their muffins and scones there. They sell a ton of them, too. Food from Coffee Time ends up everywhere! I always get my mom a large real cream Bismarck which she adores. I don't care for whipped cream but there are plenty of other things to get. Napoleons, eclairs, fancy and traditional cookies are all very popular. Although I only go a few times a year, the line is always out the door and they have 3-5 people working behind the counter. This isn't the fancy perfect French pastry shop. This is the very reasonably priced, popular, reliable, top ingredients kind of a place. If you need very good bakery products, or you need quantities, go here. read more

The original Napoleon the original Bismarck, need AC anymore delicious treats come on in

I came because I saw reviews on their Bismarks, so when a change of plans had us staying a night in a hotel down the street, I had to go. I know I've read Google reviews about rude staff and bad coffee, but the staff was friendly and the coffee was good. The Bismark were not overly sweet, all of them had a fruit filling ( I saw strawberry, raspberry, lemon and blueberry) and a fresh whipped cream. We ordered strawberry Bismark, a raspberry scone and a berries and cream cake slice. The scone was crunchy on the outside and moist inside, very good. The berries and cream cake slice was delicious and fresh. Nothing was overly sweet, if you're worried about that. I'd definitely come back if I find myself in the area. read more

I was in Salem and saw the bakery with lots of cars in the lot in the early afternoon. I thought this place must be great since they are crowded at a time when a bakery shouldn't be too busy. Nope. The reason the lot was so full was the counter service was awful. The staff looked like they had been fired from the post office for moving too slow before being hired at Coffee Time. As the line inched along the staff would disappear for minutes at a time and at some points there was no one waiting the counter in spite of 6 or so folks waiting for service. Yet other employees walked right past the line without helping anyone. When one customer was checking out the counter person almost dropped their order off the counter then seconds later managed to drop the order off the counter onto the floor upside down. FOCUS people! The chocolate eclair was better than average though pricey. I doubt I'll go back due to the long wait. read more

Wow. Do not be fooled by the simple exterior. This place is amazing! So good that after we scarfed down bizmarks on our first visit, we returned two days later because we just couldn't control ourselves. However on visit #2 we tried a donut, a cupcake and a piece of pie and all three were also delicious. With a friendly staff to top it all off, this places is an A+. read more
