This is my favorite coffee shop in all of Salem. The ambiance and lighting are so peaceful. And I love their chai tea latte. This is a great place to meet up with friends or to get work done on my own. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious! Visiting my brother at Willamette and have come 3 times on our trip. Their pumpkin dirty chai and breakfast sandwiches were perfect! read more

IKE is a nice place to have coffee or latte. I like to come here with my friends after the work. It is a place to come back again and again.

Good coffee, but staff needs one training. I wanted to know what was in the sausage egg burrito, besides sausage and egg. Three people could not tell me- the first guy said "I don't eat dairy so I have never had it". The second girl said " I don't eat meat so I don't know what's in opt, and the third person just said they didnt know. You don't have to have eaten something to know what is in it! Staff training, or at least cheat sheets are needed! read more

I love the cozy vibe and variety of tables, couches and secluded areas to study. The lemon blueberry scone was delicious!

Friendly staff, awesome community support, and the drinks are great too. Priced competitively with other coffee shops. Free Wi-Fi. Hosts and promotes activities for at-risk youth. Parking is an issue at times. My favorite drink is Mexican mocha. read more

I agree with Billie C. Best dirty chai in town. One of a Kind atmosphere and story. They always have some sort of deal as well on groupon or wherever so look for those ! read more

Not impressed. I have been wanting to go here for a few weeks now. I came in on a Sunday it was pretty busy. But the workers were not at all friendly. Wanted to stay to enjoy a bagel and a coffee but there was no seats at all. It took more than 10 minutes after I got my coffee to get my bagel... read more

This place has a really cute atmosphere, it is in a great vintage building with lots of comfy sofas to sit on. Unfortunately, the food was terrible. Both the scone and bagel my mother and I had were stale and dry. Also, they got our order wrong (gave two small coffees instead of two medium coffees), but the wait was so incredibly long the first time we didn't have time to go back and wait again for them to fix it. read more

Wow!! Great vibe. Newly remodeled, friendly staff, GREAT coffee. Make sure you have change or hope a meter is working for parking. they can't add any money to your ticket and give you change. read more

I'm basing my 5 stars on the Hot chocolate and atmosphere. From all the coffee shops I've tried in town they have the best hot chocolate hands down. I do not drink coffee so its important to me that a coffee shop has great hot chocolate! read more

Love IKE Box. We held a workshop in their facility. Very friendly and always great service!

I had some peppermint tea here today and it was well worth the price. They use real tea, which is nice. I cannot stand paying large prices for supermarket tea. My husband had the Smore Roll, and an earl grey. All great, and we had a meeting upstairs which was a wonderful space. This is a hidden treasure in Salem. I'll be back! read more

In a comfy cushioned chair I sit beside the window. The painted glass panes bathe the room in warm, soft light. Steam rises slow and curling as I sip my dark, rich tea and sink deeper into my chair. Lovely. read more

Used to be a great place to relax on weekdays and mosh on weekends. Now there are no hard shows and being summer, it's incredibly hot with no air conditioning. The computer used to be free, but now is $1 every 20 minutes unless you've bought a drink. So I suggest bringing your laptop for free wireless. And the drinks aren't that great anymore. But they have many couches to relax on. read more

The best coffee shop in Salem! Lots of space to do work, great options for food (including snacks like apple and peanut butter). I'm also continually astounded by how nice the workers are. Most say hi right when you walk in, have a genuine smile on their face, and treat every customer with respect. FINALLY found a coffee shop that I love. read more

My first visit to The Ike Box was just a few days ago. I love the old building, it has a great atmosphere. I chose to try the strawberry smoothie, it was better than most I've had. I will definitely be going back to sample more of the menu. read more

Ike Box is seriously the best type of coffee shop you can ask for. TONS of seating including comfy couches and padded chairs, fantastic atmosphere, awesome coffee (I highly recommend a Cinnamon Bun White Mocha...SO GOOD), very friendly employees who always seem to be having way too much fun serving their customers, and the best part...they have an awesome mission! The story is so touching...make sure to ask someone if you stop by why the place is called "Ike Box" ;) Please support this one! Yes there are many great coffee places in Salem but my go to is always Ike Box. read more

Our group uses one of their rooms for our meeting each month. They are very accommodating and I enjoy their tea selection, both hot and cold. Their scones are good as well. It is a nice place to have a Sunday morning cup of coffee and read the paper, there is always somewhere to sit as the main room is very large. read more

I'm giving them 5 stars for their mission statement and how they give back to the community. Their food and drinks would get 4 stars because they're a bit "spendy" and the coffee's average. The staff are hit or miss. Some are super friendly. Some not so much. Wear a sweater because it's always chilly. It's also fairly noisy due to the echo in the large room and sometimes someone who can't play the piano will decide to play the piano which can be a painful experience for those of us who are musical. It's metered parking so it can get really expensive if you want to get work done there for a few hours and parking enforcement will absolutely ticket you the instant your meter is expired. The nearest free parking is a few blocks away, so if you're disabled that's not great. Even when I had a disabled placard in my car after a knee surgery, I got ticketed there. While that's not the fault of the Ike Box, they really should petition the city to get free parking around their location. read more

Cool space, nice folks, and the coffee? Well, it's a cool space. Order something extra sugary and milky or you'll wish you had. It's probably OK if you're a Starbucks fan, otherwise it's a missed opportunity. An extra star for the cool space and nice folks. read more

This is the best place in Salem's Capitol Mall to get coffee. Friendly staff, good quality coffee, great ambiance and just generally a great place all around. Oh and you're helping train some of Salem's future leaders to boot. read more

So yummy! The quiche is good but my favorite are the pockets stuffed with things like spinach and feta. Coffee is good too and the shop has a family/neighborhood feel where people know each other. They will readily welcome you to their neighborhood too. read more

Lots of seating throughout this building. Free wi-fi. Lots of drinks and food options. This place has it all. It also supports students in the community. What's not to like about Ike? read more

I like this place. The Mocha's are yummy, the price is right. the staff is friendly. I wish the food selection was better but that's okay.

Lots of seating of all kind, very friendly baristas, and the homemade vegan scones are delicious! The coconut almond is my favorite, all warmed up with my iced coffee. Plenty of space so you don't feel like a jerk taking over a whole table by yourself. read more

Came here a few summers ago and the place had a nice "homey" feel to it! I feel like it's the stereotypical coffee shop they have in movies were college students go and study, it's a very relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely go to this place next time I'm in Salem read more

Had a great experience here. The chai concentrate has just the right amount of spice. I am a tea snob and their iced black tea was perfect! Liked the decor and open atmosphere. The guy who helped us was extremely friendly and helpful. I don't live in Salem but definitely want to go here the next time we drive through! read more

Great location to go to after working out at the YMCA. Nice people and great ambiance. Ike Box also benefits a charity which I agree with.

Great coffee. Great place to read. Great place to work on the computer. Awesome people. Awesome mission.

I can only rate the coffee as I didn't eat here. very nice old building with tons of seating. I'm weary of baked goods that are individually wrapped, which to me does not indicate freshly made, but they also served breakfast burritos among a few other savory breakfast items. Sisters coffee is always solid, so great coffee. And apparently IKEs helps kids, so win there. read more

My favorite coffee place in Salem. Great service, delicious food, the best coffee, and a great cause.

Yum! The herb, salted bagel was to die for! Great service, nice alternative milk options and wonderful atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back again! Also used the special Yelp deal, which saved me five bucks! read more

Great place in downtown Salem that uses Sister's coffee and has fabulous food. It's in an old building and there's lots of space for people to have meetings or study. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Salem. read more

Have gotten coffee here. It's a fun place to hang & get coffee. Nothing special, but great for teens to hang & do their thing. Finding parking can be a bear! During lunch this place gets crowded. It's a casual grab & go lunch or breakfast place. You can grab & go or hang & eat in. But my 2 cents worth is that it's alright, but not a 5 star joint. read more

I love this place :) The environment is very laid back and comfortable with your choice of couches or chairs. The building itself is beautiful and very antique looking. Their coffee is good and strong, and the staff are always in a great mood with smiles! read more

This place has great coffee, tea, and tons of seating. However, after the last few times of experiencing their customer service, I don't think I will be coming back for a while. The baristas seem to resent the fact that I'm ordering drinks and it makes me feel very unwelcomed and unwanted at this business. For instance, last night the barista audibly groaned when I asked for a "for here" cup instead of a "to-go" cup. It's the little things. Great mate though. read more

This is great coffee shop with a historic interior. You can order anything bad here. The dirty chai is delicious but so is every other coffee coming across the bar. Staff is friendly and helpful read more

IKE Box is a great place to do work, relax, or meet with friends. It's spacious, there are plenty of power outlets, and individual meeting rooms that you can use or rent. The staff has always been incredibly efficient and kind. The food is also good! They always have a selection of pastries, snacks, and fruit. I love the bagels with chive schmear so much. Really affordable prices too. Sometimes they host community events and I think they do youth job training in-house. All around a really great coffee shop and meeting space to have in Salem. read more

Wow what a time, special friend and I came in for coffee and bagel sandwich, sat and talked seemed like hours, felt like we were the only ones there, we weren't however. Great atmosphere it is now one of our very special places. Hope to be back soon. read more
