    Offbeat coffee shop
    Mojdeh S.

    How I heard of this place: We were in Salem for a work trip and needed a spot to spend a couple of hours post-walk through the gardens, parks and trails of the area. An internet search and quick glance at reviews, brought us here. Type of cuisine: "Traditional Espresso is for Nerds: Forget traditional espresso machines. We rock espresso on tap, a bold twist brewed from cold brew concentrate. It's our brand of rebellion, served in a cup. Expect a flavor that defies expectations. Come try it for yourself and if you don't like it... you can challenge our mad coffee scientist to a fight." The cafe offers novel coffee options, uncaffeinated selections for children and others, as well as a small selection of pastries. Ambiance: "We set this place up to revolve around one word, Offbeat. Our offbeat decor, offbeat espresso on tap, and offbeat vinyl records. Read below if you're interested in that kinda thing. Offbeat Decor: In a nutshell, our decor rebels against the norm. Picture a jungle of indoor plants, quirky art, and seating that makes no sense but somehow works. It's not your average coffee shop vibe--it's an art project that serves coffee. Vinyl Vibes: Music is our heartbeat. Dive into our vinyl room, where every record is a story. Here, coffee and tunes share the stage, offering a sip and sound experience that's entirely Offbeat." What I ordered: A Unicorn ($4) for my little one - a white chocolate steamer with tons of whipped cream and sprinkles, topped with a piece of white chocolate. For me, the warm "Cardi cold foam" and to share: a Turkey Gouda croissant & a cinnamon twist. What I loved: The cardi cold foam was creamy and sweet, and wonderfully warm after a cold walk and play at the neighborhood park. The cinnamon twist was a bit tough, and the turkey gouda cold and boring. The little one loved the Unicorn and was eager for another right away. Why I loved it: The space is truly offbeat, vibrant, colorful, full of life and with nooks and crannies, rooms and spaces that needed to be explored. Cost: Average

    Golden milk latte

    Super chill vibe, amazing assortment of drinks. Try the golden milk latte, it's delicious and good for you. Great friendly service.

    Brown Sugar Latte

    Offbeat Coffee is a busy coffee shop on a Sunday morning. There is limited parking in the front and back lot, but there is 2 hour street parking if you have trouble finding a spot. The line was super long when we first got there, but there is lots of seating towards the back, making it not too difficult to find a seat! You can also make reservation for a large group ahead of time, if you're worried about seating. I ordered their brown sugar latte, which was okay. I felt that my latte ratio had more milk than coffee and was not really able to taste the brown sugar syrup. The coffee was good for the price, as $6 for a large latte is rare to see. The coffee menu is simple with espresso on tap or tea. The aesthetic is retro with records and unique paintings surrounded with lots of green plants, making it a cozy spot on a rainy day.

    Met up with a friend on a recent visit and really enjoyed this business and its location. Simple, great espresso and pastries, everything that it should be and nothing more, Perfect! YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes please visit, it just seems very organic and quiet. LOCATION: Storefront on 12th street but very quiet inside and out. FACILITY: Better than most, not designed to get your money and kick you out, no, rater very inviting with everyone considerate to those working or having conversations. MENU: It is a coffee / espresso shop and menu is appropriately designed to accommodate those expectations. FOOD PREP: Nicely done, drinks and pastries delivered to our table. FOOD QUALITY: Espresso pull was well done, smoother good roasting and flavor. Not sure if they make the pasties but I have no problem enjoying a scone. WAITSTAFF: All very nice... maybe all owners but please tip well, This is not Starbucks, way better, but pretty sure not a huge moneymaker so they rely on repeat business. OVERALL VALUE: Very good for the experience. TIP: Side street parking can be a challenge so plan on maybe a short walk on business days... It is Salem so an umbrella is a good idea.

    Strawberry Fields (matcha). Delicious! The whole place definitely heard me sucking up the very last drop.

    Their staff are always the friendliest! Always knowledgeable about their drinks and they are happy to offer recommendations if you're just not sure what to order. Today the back (garage) door was open; the weather is perfect for it! The art is fun to take in, as well as the decorations. I adore the ambiance. It is the perfect place to relax.

    Chai tea lattes!
    Nancy S.

    We stopped here based on the Yelp reviews and so happy we did!! The chai tea lattes are delicious and the service was excellent!! We also love the eclectic comfortable atmosphere. We will be back!

    Hibiscus Fizz and coffee
    Christine C.

    I've made it a goal to try every cafe in Salem before my kid graduates from WU, and this one is in my top 10 so far. Friendly service and a very welcoming vibe overall. I love the decor and there is a ton of seating all throughout the cafe. My Hibiscus Fizz was really good, and my husband liked his coffee as well. Nice spot to relax, I would definitely return.

    Third best bathroom ever

    The coffee is great! Because that's important. But also this is the most useful coffee shop for entertainment purposes I have ever been in. If you want a fun atmosphere for a sit down, some time to knock out those emails, a way to enjoy beverages while being an old school audiophile, whatever, this is it. It's a stimulating, welcoming, fun atmosphere made out of all the ideas people who wanted to create something great could come up with. Plus the decor is amazing. And it's not just coffee! Their menu is solid and the people serving it are upbeat and efficient. Go in, check it out, bring your friends.

    Dropped by here while getting a hitch put on at U-Haul. Their sister company is Furbish across the street so after giving them a peruse I headed across the street. Very eclectic upon entry. A great variety of snacks. They are getting started so a few offerings aren't available yet like iced tea but I hear that's coming. They have a variety of baked goods and they have a cart outside that offers sandwiches. I think the cart is unrelated but rather a companion of the shop. All in all a really cool venue. I look forward to stopping back again.

    I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob, specifically of the latte variety. I absolutely loved this place. The coffee was incredible with house made syrup, and the pastry options were so creative and DELICIOUS. Very very cute ambience too. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.

    Iced hazelnut latte with an extra shot and oat milk

    The coffee flavor was nice it's very nutty. If you like plain lattes this place is perfect because you really couldn't taste the hazelnut all too much. I let my sister try it and she took the coffee for herself. Anyway, definitely order your drink extra sweet if you wanna taste the flavor. Otherwise really yummy beverage! The ambiance was really nice in there though. Very busy and lots of people. Would come back :)

    I don't think this coffee shop is well advertised, which makes it a diamond in the rough. I liked the mint cold brew. This is off my beaten path so whenever I'm in the area I plan to stop again should I need a caffeine boost. If you're going to spend money on coffee then it's nice to support local places.

    What a fun place to sip your coffee!

    The vibes are on point here! I was immediately dazzled by the ambiance, with artful decor and cool jazz music. The friendly cashier helped me choose a drink from the unique menu. I settled on a Mint Condition; cold brew with a vanilla-mint cold foam that tasted fresh like real mint and not too sweet. There's lots of seating and a well-curated vinyl record library with listening stations. I'd definitely want to come back and hang out here next time I'm in Salem.

    See all

Grateful for them to be open at all and fulfilling the order 30 minutes before close. We arrived exactly as they were about to close and had our 3 sandwiches ready to go. We tried the Fratello and BLTA. Might try their gabagool for next time. Very tasty sandwiches but wished they sliced them in half. They are located in an industrial park close to department of corrections. We aren't Italian but I think they are the real deal considering the specificity in their menu.

When I did stand in front of a staff member working the front, he just continued to do what he was doing and pretty much ignored me until I said something. I guess you just have to walk up and talk to get his attention. (New York City delis even greet you...so perhaps it was an off day for the gentleman). I overheard and witnessed other stuff that was said, but anyways. The actual workers behind the counter/making the sandwiches were just doing their role, so I don't have anything to say besides the fact that my sandwich and my wife's were tasty. She got the gabagool and I got the Italian stallion. We both agreed that the sourdough could be improved a bit, but the deli meats tasted fresh. Would come back to try other sandwiches, but hope the service would be a little bit more attentive/friendly.

We ordered: The Pickle Gambit, Country Mac's Cajun Mac & Cheese, Mac's Famous Mac & Cheese, & the Cinnamon Roll Beignets. The pickle spears were lightly, yet crunchily breaded & piled high on a plate with yummy, dilly ranch & a second slightly smoky dipping sauce. Both Mac's featured perfectly-cooked shell noodles & decadent cheese sauce! The "reg" Mac had hearty chunks of bacon & fresh basil ribbons. The Cajun Mac was SUPER flavorful & had andouille sausage bites & VERY moist chicken tenders. The beignets were pillowy-soft & served with an amazing cinnamon sugar cream cheese drizzle.

We decided to try the Nashville chicken breast with hot chili oil on the side. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy. I also ordered the lemon poppy seed slaw. Our friends got the salmon Chowdah and also some spicy chicken with Cajun fries. They remarked that the salmon chowder pronounced Chowdah looked to be quite thick and was very flavorful. I gotta say it was some of the best fried chicken I ever sampled. The slaw was very tasty as well. Great combination of savory and sweet. My daughter and I split an order of chicken as we wanted to sample the beignets. We ordered the Killa bees and they came out fluffy and hot with a very nice honey drizzle. Ryan also gifted us with a second order of beignets of our own choosing, and we asked for the Good God Lemon ones, and they were very sweet and tangy. For the five of us the bill came to right around a hundred dollars which being from California I found very reasonable. It's a small place, and you order first at the counter and then go and find a table. If you are looking for some very tasty chicken this side of Nashville you should stop by and order some at this unique place in Salem Oregon.
