First, there are two listings on Yelp that are related and have nearly identical names and the…read moreidentical address. This review is for the coffee shop in the far right corner of the goth Blackcraft retail place. During spooky holiday season a reservation is required for the coffee area. Before I attended, I had the misunderstanding that a reservation was required due to seating. I viewed posted photos that led me to believe that I would be entertaining a spooky coffee cafe adventure hidden from view due to its amazingness and exclusivity. BUT NO. Let's dispell some myths. After checking in at the kiosk and verifying our reservation, we crossed through the big black double doors. We entered a space the size of a small bedroom. A window is roughly six paces ahead with a small set of shelves to its left. Almost every surface is black. The ceiling is black and dried flowers and twine are suspended from it (see photo). The right wall has a fireplace adorned with candles, cauldrons, dried flowers (see photo) and flanked by two locked doors. Above it, three skulls bite down on a dried flower swag. There is a seasonal painting centered above the fireplace (see photo). On the left is a compact coffee counter featuring a large cauldron in front of the coffee machine (see photo). Behind the counter and above the teenage baristas is a list of available beverages on a chalkboard. There are some artfully arranged vines too. That's everything. The beverages were tasty. We got two hot Borah Brew coffee's, a Sea Witch, and a Good Witch (see photo). Reality: It is not a cafe and there was no food. There is no table service or tables. 3 steps in and we saw all there was to see. Yes, it's festive. Yes, it's a fun photo opportunity. Mostly, it's well marketed and hyped by perceived scarcity. Yes, I would visit again and seek beverages IF CONVENIENT. However, I would not put much emphasis on this as a necessity to the experience. It's nice if it works out. Beware that the reservations are booked weeks or more in advance. Although we were told that no reservations were needed as of Nov 1 - that was not the case, and we did need to have a reservation several days later. The three stars are because there's not much to the coffee area, and frankly I found the hype misleading. However, the marketing deserves industry awards!

We ordered the Salted Maple Latte and the Brown Butter Pumpkin Latte. I'm usually an iced coffee gal, but this hot latte really warmed me up during this cold day of sightseeing. It was the perfect amount of sweetness to strong coffee ratio and my friend really liked hers as well. There are no tables inside for sitting, you order at the counter and then take your drink to go. The inside is also really small, so I can see how Brew Box can get very crowded during the busy rush. Service was fun and friendly - the drinks came out somewhat quickly - it was a busy day. I would definitely come back to Brew Box the next time I am in town. Check them out!

I always love to try local coffee shops whenever I travel and the Wolf Next Door definitely has that local vibe. I decided to get a cold brew coffee with some of their homemade brown sugar cinnamon syrup. The cold brew was refreshing, and the syrup had the perfect level of sweetness to it without being overwhelming. We didn't try any of their food items or anything else on the menu so all this review can speak to is the delicious cold brew, homemade syrup, and friendly staff.

We tried the North Shore, Whole Hog (on a bed of tots), and the bacon egg and cheese! We also got 2 side orders of tots. I loved all the food, every bite I took was delish! There tots were hot and crispy and well seasoned also. For the coffee I went with the signature "The Crave", which was so delightful. I got it with oat milk and it was smooth and delish as well! The inside of the place is just a cute hip vibe. It's a smaller cafe with some seating along one of the wall of window, and then they have some tables. Right when we arrived, every table was packed, but by the time our food arrived, tables opened up, which was nice. It seemed that most people would turnover the table quickly to allow for others to sit. The staff were super friendly and patient, and all around great place to have breakfast in Salem!

My friends and I came to this cutesy small shop to grab coffee/brekky prior to our day in Salem…read more Looks like they have 2 locations. One in Salem MA and one in Beverly MA. Parking- didn't see a dedicated lot, looks like street parking only. We found a spot down the street, walkable distance. Looks like we made the right choice, because the place was poppin. Lots of folks coming in & out. We were lucky enough to snag a table for the group while some of the group stayed in line. I noted several groups of ladies with cute witchy style outfits very fitting for Salem, that could def be OOTD worthy on IG. Service- seemed fine. My friends ordered for me at the counter while I held down our table, so I can't speak to the ordering interaction. They were speaking names out very low for pick up at the counter, I remember that. Food- I got the North Shore sammy - which comes with maple bacon, over medium egg, chedder cheese, maple aoili on a croissant. The egg was runny just what I like, and it was yummy and bigger than I imagined. Very filling. I could have just split one with my friends, but everyone got there own. So I left more full than I wanted, because I didn't want to take away. Drink- I got a latte, that was fine, nothing to write home about. If visiting this charming town try it out. I saw mostly tourist, so don't think it's a locals hang out. But it's not a trap luckily, lol.

One plus is that they do have some gluten-free options, which is always appreciated, so it's definitely doable if you have a gluten allergy. Overall, it's a convenient lunch spot if you're nearby, affordable, easy but not necessarily a must-visit.
