    Triple shot latte with evil added

    Love love love this coffee shop. It's a must if you come to Salem. So delicious and a great staff.!!!

    First visit in Salem. Arrived around 8am and it was already buzzing! Desperate need for coffee and this place did not dissappint. Ordered a regular Vanilla Late with low fat milk and it was delicious. Not too sweet and definitely tasted the caffeine. Also ordered their bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant roll, very flavorful and filling. No complaints at all on the coffee and food. We actually decided to tey this place as it was right next to the train station and it was the only coffee shop in the area that was actually open. Others didnt open till 9 or 10am. All the employees were super friendly and efficient. Everyone was very welcoming. Loved their decor and the vibes were just setting us up for a great day in Salem.

    Cute coffee cafe with fun and original menu flavors. The carrot cake coffee was a bit too sweet for our taste. But overall a great stop for coffee!

    This was my first stop in Salem for a warm cozy drink and it instantly became one of my favorite finds of the day. The space has a charming artsy vibe inside. I ordered the caramel apple pie chai latte which was one of the best specialty chai's I've had. My partner went with the pumpkin pie latte which was also really good. Loved how inviting this coffee shop felt, the kind of spot you could just linger in on a cold chilly day. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

    I came here with one of my friends. It was on our coffee places to try while in Salem. This place did not disappoint! The whole vibe is amazing!! From walking inside and in awe of the wall art and the feel of the place. To the friendly baristas. It's not a huge indoor place, but they do have some seating off to the side and up near the front window. There's also some cute outdoor seating. Prices are about average places we go to where we are from $6-up depends on your order. I tried their seasonal pumpkin spice chai latte-oat milk with gluten free butterscotch syrup. Just the right notes and perfect for a brisk morning. My friend had their boo berry latte -oat milk. She said it reminded her of eating a blueberry pie!! Odd meter has so far in our top spots that we've had.

    If you're in Salem, definitely stop by Odd Meter for coffee! The store is in a convenient location and has such a cute and cozy atmosphere. Everyone who works there is really nice and made our drinks really fast. We ordered a tea and flat white which were both great (and included beautiful coffee art!). They also have specialty coffee flavors and drinks. Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in Salem!

    Odd meter is a nice place to grab a quick breakfast before exploring Salem. Their sense of style and decor, as well as their branded products (stickers, clothes, etc) are adorable. The food options are good but nothing too special--mostly standard muffins and bagels. The fall latte options were fun, including pumpkin and caramel apple. Service was quick, the drinks were awesome, but the food was just a bit underwhelming. Also, I'm pretty sure the plants they're keeping have a fruit fly infestation, because we sat right by the plant shelf and there were tiny fruit flies everywhere.

    As far as local coffee shops go, this is a solid choice! The prices are fair, the coffee tastes great, the service friendly. I loved that there were different milk choices also. The coffee shop itself was easy to find, clean, and quaint.

    Such a great experience! The aroma of all the fresh coffees soothes you as soon as you enter this eclectic cafe. Everything is fresh and delicious. The employees all make you feel welcome and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd want in a cafe! We can't wait to go back again and again!!!

    Friendly staff & yummy coffee! The take away cups are different than any other coffee place I've been to, but the design is cute.

    Needed a coffee after a day of waiting around at the courthouse for jury duty. I asked Sally, the server if they had lavender syrup and they recommended I get an iced Live Lav Love Latte which is made with half lavender syrup and half vanilla syrup. So glad he recommended this combo because it was so tasty!! The vanilla balanced the lavender and made it taste creamy and subtly lavenderish. Brought home a butterscotch cookie, a mojito scone and a Kouign-Amann. My husband and I gobbled them up later that night and they were quite tasty! The cookie tasted exactly like one I had at A&J earlier in the day so wondering if they share the same baker. Cute little cafe inside!

    Came in on my day of cafe hopping around Salem for matcha, and {spoilers} they were all about the same. Which to my palette, as someone who loves matcha and regularly gets it in Bay Area CA, was around a 5/10. That said, I ordered their special iced Strawberry Matcha, which had a light flavor and was overall refreshing. Pros: - lovely and knowledgeable staff - fairly fast service - cute atmosphere with some seating and plants! Also loved the mural art - all their plastic packaging is compostable! Cons: - average matcha made from pre-made concentrate

    We took a group trip to Salem post the Halloween madness. Best decision I've made in a long time. I get to extend my favorite holiday! My friends are sleepy so I dragged my boyfriend on a spooky morning walk. The town is also sleepy. But we were in luck that Odd Meter had its doors open and ready for our arrival. I will warn you that their capacity is 20 peeps in here. And now that I've tried the goods, I recommend prioritizing your arrival. There was a ton of specialty drinks to pick from with catchy names. We've been having all things pumpkin. I suggested to my boyfriend to change things up. He picked the "Boo-Berry Latte and I did "the Witch's Wand Latte" ! The blueberry was insane! It literally tasted like they smushed some berries and threw them in the coffee sans pulp! I was mind blown. My coffee was as they said, reminiscent of a molasses cookie! The coffee shop had some cute sitting options, a bathroom, some treats and a modern look! I wish they had the witchy tote bags! Loved the design! And the overall design and graphic design for the hot and cold coffee cups is also on point! I will always make sure to stop here whenever I'm in town! And I will dream about the Boo-Berry!

    Lattes were not great and the fact that a small latte with alternative milk and syrup is almost $9 is obscene

    Front Street Coffeehouse was one of my favorite coffee stops in Salem, Massachusetts. Located in…read morethe heart of downtown, this cozy café has been part of the community since 1996 and is known as "Salem's Living Room." After visiting, I understand why. I ordered an iced decaf coconut flavor oat milk latte, and it was absolutely delicious. When the coconut flavoring ran out just before I ordered , the staff happily went to the back and opened a new bottle so they could make exactly what I requested. They were fun, friendly, and seemed happy to help. That small act of care made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. The latte itself was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly cold, exactly what I needed while walking around Salem on a steamy summer day. Front Street serves Jim's Organic Coffee, and the quality came through in every sip. I also loved the coffeehouse's cozy, lived-in atmosphere and its visible LGBTQ inclusivity. It felt like a place created for community: warm, expressive, relaxed, and welcoming to everyone. That matters to me just as much as a great cup of coffee. Delicious coffee, joyful service, and wonderfully inclusive energy made this a five-star experience. I cannot wait to return.

    Front Street Coffee was our first stop when we arrived to Salem. It was located in the midst of the…read moreSalem Art Festival. The dining area had limited seating and it seemed untidy. The coffee was ok. The bagel sandwich was a grab and go item. The coffee house was very busy with people staying and taking to go items. The staff were friendly.
