    What a fun place serving up coffee, tea, pastries, and all this in a sea of LPs and 45s. You can even play then on turntable and listen on headphones. Some of the records are for sale. Funky fun decor too! Make sure to check out the bathroom.

    Offbeat coffee shop

    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
    Melisa G.

    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!

    I was traveling for work and was looking for a good coffee/brunch spot to work at for a little bit…read morebetween job sites. This came up on my research and I was completely blown away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They told me they make their own vanilla syrups and roast their own coffee beans. After some quick back and forth, the worker recommended I try their eggplant shakshuka and their iced shaken cappuccino. Both were phenomenal! I honestly am counting down the days til I get to be back in the area for that shaken cappuccino again! The subtle flavor notes from their roasted beans really shines through and is balanced by the cream they use. The eggplant shakshuka was also great. It wasn't too spicy but it was a lot of flavor with each bite. I was so into the sauce that I almost forgot to save some to eat with the toasted baguette slices that came with the plate! Can't wait to go back to try other stuff!

And that's saying a lot. You do not want to know of the torture. Suggestions: 1st: If you want to have a steak on the menu, at least serve the cut that is on the menu. 2nd: if you're worried about food cost, do something pounded, and marinated, OR do a small trimmed cut that is excellent quality, and serve it with a lot of mash and veg, and that bordelaise sauce (which wasn't bad). 3rd: Meatloaf

We didn't want to stand in a long line to order so Shane came over to help us. He had us order something similar in the app and then told the coffee side and the kitchen our modifications. The food was amazing. I had the protein bowl with bacon but no egg as requested. They were kind enough to add double bacon. I also ordered avocado but they forgot it and were happy to add it later. Flavors were amazing. The Wenatchee toast was delicious along with the cheddar date gf biscuit. The dirty egg nog chai is fabulous and seasonal so get it before it's gone. You can also do grab and go and find seating in the main room. The food and heart of this place are 5 stars. Giving 4 stars today because of the ordering headache. Shane gets 1000 stars for all his help and patience. Also compliments to the chef. Great flavors!
