So good. But let's talk about their coffee. Beverly has so many great coffee places and they are all good. Atomic is one of my top two places. Coffee is smooth, and consistently tastes the same which I admire. The wait staff is great. My pet peeve, is that they have all these signs that say that the booths are saved for 2 people or more, and there are often booths with just one person working. Yes, some are waiting for someone, but many are not. Just frustrating cause when it is busy and I want a booth for me and my friends, I want a booth. Ok I'm done. Best sit and gather coffee place in the city. And surrounding cities.

Yesterday we picked up some things and did not have the experience we usually do. Rather than outline it on yelp, I chose to send an email to the restaurant. They responded within hours, apologized, explained, offered some upgrades and solutions. They heard what I said, and are actually replying again with more info., An off day happens anywhere.

There are 2 separate lines, one for coffee and the other just to see the store inside. We went on a Thursday mid afternoon & waited about 1 hr 15min in line. I've seen many mixed reviews that it's not worth the wait. But only having 1 day in Salem, I really needed to try it for myself. Once you finally get inside, there is another line you wait in before making your way into the small cafe, which holds a max of 8 people, so it is very tiny! The decor throughout was insanely good! Lots of fun merchandise throughout the store & even a little Photo Booth. Now to the coffee...they have an amazing seasonal selection & it was so hard to choose. I opted for the Caramel Waffle Cauldron & I can honestly say...it's one of the best coffees I've ever had!! It is made with a cinnamon bun syrup, lined with caramel & topped with whip. It was also so pretty and made for great pictures. It was well with the wait! The service was also amazing. Everyone was super friendly and kept the lines very organized.

Went for mothers day…read more Tea: 2/6 people liked their tea. Mine reminded me of soap. It was something lavender. The berry one was a favorite, the green tea pomegranate was a full miss. Food (savory course): I told the server I was vegetarian. She told me that they would bring out extra vegetarian sandwiches, which they did not do. I was stuck there eating bread with a sliver of cucumber (too thin for a crunch) a thin swipe of cream cheese, and one to two flattened micro green sprouts in there. I was hungry and the other sandwiches looked great. Dessert 1 (scone course): Didnt recognize it. they gave us a dry lemon scone with a heck of a lot of icing on top. No cream, no butter, one factory processed jar of strawberry jam. Nothing to ease into the desserts. Dessert 2 (sweet course): All horribly sweet. Madeline was dry and had a hunk of chocolate or something on top. Not at all what I expect a Madeline to be (oven-fresh) and again too sweet. Petit fours: they somehow did this one well. Cream puff: winner. elderflower in this was excellent and it was light fluffy and fresh. Chocolate lumps: no one ate this. Macarons: too sweet. Almond one everyone but my dad hated. The purple one we thought was overly sweet without much flavor but was better than the almond. Chocolate ball with raspberry: intense flavor, pretty good, not sure what was up with the sprinkles. Honestly this is the second time I've been unimpressed, and after the staff fully disconnecting with the kitchen/customer I dont think I'll be back.

I want to review Crave, but first let me tell you about the owner and Master Baker, Ken. When I met Ken on my first visit to Crave, I recognized immediately that he had an immense amount of talent with baking and pastry arts. His attention to detail sets him above most others in his craft, and it shows in what he produces. Even if his recipes are already heralded as one of the best a person has ever had, he will strive to make it better every chance he gets. His creativity and inventiveness leads to him creating some of the best treats you could ever imagine. While he can produce the classics to a level of perfection their creators could have never reached, his personal creations will be quick to become classics in the baking and pastry world. Now, to review my first visit to Crave. I was passing through town on my way back to Logan airport to head home after visiting my New England-based family. Outside the store was a grand opening sign so I thought I would give them a try as I wanted something sweet. I saw that they had Fruit Tarts, which are a personal favorite of mine. In the lighted case, they looked so beautiful with how the fruit was arranged and the sheen of the glaze. I couldn't resist. The crust was perfect. Buttery, delicious, and the perfect texture. The creme anglaise was probably the best I've ever had. It was so creamy and rich, and you could tell it was made with fresh vanilla bean. I could honestly drink that creme anglaise, it was that good. The fruits were perfectly selected and at their peak of ripeness and flavor. They were masterfully cut and presented beautifully atop the delicious creme anglaise. I grew up eating fruit tarts produced by one of the world's top hotel's bakery. Those were amazing fruit tarts and I made a point of going down to the hotel's coffee shop to buy one every week. The fruit tarts at Crave, and I'm guessing probably everything else at Crave, are better than those hotel ones ever were on their best day. My only wish is that I lived in the Boston area so I could enjoy Crave more often! If you're lucky enough to live within an hour of this new bakery, I am eternally jealous of you. I hope you make the trip for one of the best bakery cafe experiences you'll ever have! read more

During my work conference trip, I finally had the chance to try out this breakfast joint, and I must say, it did not disappoint! I ordered the "Northshore" sandwich, which was on the sweeter side due to the maple aioli, and the "Whole Hog" sandwich. Both sandwiches were not only delicious but also huge, providing ample fuel for the day ahead. One highlight of the meal was the Vietnamese cold brew, which we decided to try. It was a perfect blend of strong coffee and sweetened condensed milk, creating a refreshing and energizing beverage. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to come back the next day. This time, I tried the classic sandwich, which was not as outstanding as the other two but still enjoyable. However, the real winner was the matcha latte I ordered. It had just the right amount of sweetness and was a perfect balance of creamy and earthy flavors. It was a definite hit! read more

Based on a recommendation I stopped yesterday and was so happy with my breakfast sandwich. Sure it costs a little more than Dunkin' Donuts but this is the real thing, no tasteless mass produced bland food here! I got the wheat homemade pita: perfect. American cheese, ham AND the candied spicy bacon! This is a two-handed, drippy masterpiece. (cost $8.29) Just as I was thinking a little hot sauce would only enhance the experience I noticed they did have some on hand. However, the owner suggested I try his hot pepper jelly. So good. I will sing the praises of this sandwich from the rooftops. The cupcakes looked beautiful - I can tell the attention to detail in this place is important. This place is worth a trip! read more

I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now! I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm. I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant! I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home. So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.

All 3 of us ordered the egg sandwich. It's cooked egg (like a puck) on 2 slices of plain bread with about 1 teaspoon of cheese that is such a small amount that it doesn't cover most of the egg. That's it. Not enough cheese, no butter, no salt, no pepper. Nothing. They don't even toast the bread. If we had tasked our 6 year old nephew to making us egg sandwiches, this is what he would hand us. My cousins had coffee. One hot and the other cold. Hot reportedly is pretty good and the iced is not very strong. I ordered an iced tea. When iced tea is made fresh from actual tea (a good thing), then sits in the fridge for 6 or 7 days (a bad thing), it gets a very distinctive stale taste and that's exactly what this iced tea had. It was old and stale. I threw it away and since the egg sandwich was so dry, I pulled a bottle of water I had in my beach tote to wash it down. My cousin asked the friendly staffer (super friendly, actually, so a shout out to them) for some salt and this turned into a task. She had to ask someone else and that person had to go off somewhere to get some from a plastic container. If you're going to serve unseasoned food, have salt available, please. I ordered a croissant, which was OK and my other cousin ordered a blueberry slab dessert that was smothered in so much icing that it was sickeningly sweet. We joked that eying it from the side, the icing was thicker than the pastry itself. One of us grabbed a knife and tried to scrape some off to no avail. It fell apart, none of us wanted any more and we tossed most of it. I like to support small businesses, but this was not a good experience for us.
