He then asked me where I was from (this has no bearing on the situation, but I live in Salem) and told me that he sells thousands of bottles of wine every year and I am the only one with a problem. I suppose he didn't understand the bad beer that had been left behind the counter. I explained to him that it was a problem for him because he was selling product that had spoiled, and he told me it's my problem since I was the one coming to him. I informed him that my family and I won't be back. Unfortunate, since it is close to my apartment, but I won't go somewhere that sells bad product continuously and gets angry at people when they notice. This man is a grade A huckster with a bad temper.

It was super easy to order, and I was intrigued by the build-your-own breakfast sandwich. I got a sweetened matcha (hot) paired with a sandwich made with pita bread, scrambled eggs, pepper jelly, and Boursin cheese (a unique option which I thought would add some interesting flavors). The entire meal of food + drink was perfectly filling post-run. Seating isn't ample, but there are options---countertop at the window for people-watching, or cozier seating by the back wall. It's definitely in a central location of Salem and I can see this place being a local favorite!

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!

I was excited to try this coffee shop after seeing nearly everyone I walked by that day holding a…read morecup 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.

I have had enough terrible experiences with this pharmacy to use the 'forgot my password' option and recover my yelp password just so I could tell you how atrociously unprofessional this pharmacy is. I have had all bad experiences with the female pharmacists. They like you have four heads when you are standing at the drop off booth when you are in fact only trying to do what the gigantic sign you're standing under says. I'm not standing here just so I can stare at your stern ass ugly frown. No "Hi how can I help you?" Ever. Blonde lead pharmacist has yelled at people in front of customers numerous times and a woman named Holly was the the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered. I cannot believe she is taken seriously as an employee. She was swearing about not being able to get a cab in front of an otherwise quiet store filled with customers. I cannot begin to explain how much I don't give a shit about her problems. While you're at work you negative ass, shut up and do your job. Also, if I wanted to be treated like an inmate I'd try to get my drugs filled in prison but I am just regular person looking for some help and what do you know, at the end of this last experience they did not even have my full prescription so I had to walk away empty-handed. I loathe this pharmacy. read more
