One of my regular go to's for coffee and sandwiches. Love the fact that if I have my dog with me that they are allowed to come in for me to order. Most coffee shops and other similar establishments wouldn't even allow that. Thanks to that awesome policy I don't have to skip my coffee or other items if I have them with me and I'm on my own. read more

Simple place, but its simplicity is what makes this place perfect. They have so many options for those with dietary restrictions and the barista/owner (?) makes sure to carry gluten free options. They are also a green company, so everything but the aluminum foil used to wrap the heated food in is compostable, which I thought was very cool. It's a small place, but they even have a "leave on, take on" library set up. read more

Personally, I wouldn't sit in here as there isn't much seating. However, I love the vibe of this place. I love how their menu is written out with so many colors. The workers were patient and even waited for us as we ordered (there are so many options!) Candy bar latte 9/10: You must get this drink if you're a fan of sweet things. It's not sweet enough to make your teeth ache; don't worry. House Pumpkin spice latte 3/10: I expected more out of this drink. It was spicy ??! I feel like there was so much spice.. almost like we got the bottom of the barrel. Really not a fan even though I'm a PSL lover. I'm hoping that was a fluke.. read more

We stopped in after having walked and walked and toured and walked all morning without any sustenance. We just happened to be nearby and gave it a shot. Guy at the counter seemed annoyed we came in. But then he was the same to everyone and we decided it was just his demeanor. Didn't take away from the delicious BATS sandwich I got, but I must mention that the bacon was hard, not crispy, and I did wonder if I might crack a tooth trying to bite into it. The Iced matcha was okay, a little lacking in flavor and wasn't worth finishing. The interior was small with limited seating but we posted up near the front window and enjoyed our lunch in the sun. read more

While visiting Salem and looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, my friend and I stopped in the Wolf Next Door coffee. 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. read more

Cute place. I went there with my Beagle because on ChatGPT. They said I could and I did not think to check the local ordinances. They do not have anywhere to sit outside... I sat down with my Beagle who is very well trained and quiet and started chatting with two ladies next to me for about 10 minutes. I ordered several items and then when I went to pick up my coffee, I was rudely told that I had to leave, " right away". I stated that I just ordered two items and it was hot outside. I needed a place to sit and ChatGPT had led me to this place. I did not understand the ordinances and her response was "well ChatGPT lies " As a responsible dog owner, I definitely understand that I should have checked the rule/laws, but it should've been posted somewhere or she should've told me before I placed the order. I sat down and chatted with these ladies for at least 5 to 10 minutes before I placed my order. read more

This cute little cafe is located near the house of seven gables and the Salem waterfront. I found the staff to be welcoming, but watching nail biting behind the counter while eating was a massive red flag for cleanliness. I ordered a biscuit with egg, cheese and beyond sausage and I felt that the presentation was immensely lacking for the price of nearly $7 per sandwich and many fantastic shops in town. The biscuit was lovely but the iced chai latte was just okay, lacking in flavor overall- seems it may be premade? It's been on my list to try but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Came in on my day of cafe hopping around Salem for matcha, and {spoilers} they were all about the same with this one being the close winner. Which to my palette, as someone who loves matcha and regularly gets it in Bay Area CA, was around a 6/10. That said, I ordered an iced matcha latte with their house-made Lavender syrup, which was refreshing and had a lovely floral-lavender flavor but not much matcha flavor. Pros: - fresh-whisked matcha - very friendly and fast staff - decent amount of seating for the space and a nice ambiance - compostable cups etc - a nice Free Pantry and Swap cabinet for the community! Cons: - lack of matcha flavor in latte read more

We stopped by this coffee house on our morning walk because my partner is the coffee drinker out of the two of us. It was super crowded, which made it clear it's a local favorite. Everyone was really nice. They had tons of flavor and dietary options, which as someone who admittedly doesn't like coffee that, well, tastes like coffee, I appreciate. They have a compost bin, which I thought was a cool touch. My partner got a Bee's Knees which is espresso, milk, and honey ($6.70) and really enjoyed it. The signs are hand written and it has a pretty hip vibe to it. We'd go back again. read more

Located across the water on the wharf part of Salem, this tiny, adorable coffee shop offers breakfast sandwiches, some snacks and pastries, as well as coffee and tea. Highly recommend, the lady at the cash register was super friendly, and it is a quick walk from the Seven Gables museum or 15 minute walk from downtown. read more

Wolf Next Door Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Tasty lattes, cozy and small café. Wolf Next Door has some interesting seasonal flavours like a latte with a bit of cayenne, some fall flavours like pumpkin. I got an iced mocha latte and it was good. I don't live in the area but have have gone to Wolf Next Door at least a couple of times when I've been in the area. It's a nice business and I'd recommend! They do have a capacity of maybe 10 people so there may be a little line so it isn't cramped in the café. Service is efficient and they use compostable cups and utensils for those who like a coffee place that tries to be more sustainable. Try it out! read more

Incredibly cute cafe near the Seven Gables House. Small interior with an incredibly friendly staff. Some small seating inside is available. I really enjoyed their cookies. The chai tea latte was just ok, but I appreciate they have their own special recipe for it. read more

I live off their cold brew and their vegan sausage is delicious! The staff is always friendly and the owner is a true gem!

Server was just there to do a job. The coffee was delicious. Restroom was clean. Nice place to stop and rest over a cup of coffee. read more

Wolf Next Door Coffee - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Salem, MA - We needed a little afternoon pick me up after walking around this charming town. We ordered a pumpkin spice latte and a cold brew coffee. The cold brew was hands down our favorite drink. Service was fast and very friendly. Prices were quite reasonable. Shout out to a fellow Ohioan who mixed our drinks! We appreciated the kind service and the fact that they compost their waste. Thanks for taking care of customers AND Mother Earth. read more

We skipped breakfast in Boston so we could try out a breakfast spot in Salem. This place wasn't too far from the harbor so we decided to check it out. No one was there when we went it in so we had time to take a look at the menu. My wife had the veggie special with a matcha. I had the lox bagel. Lox bagel was pretty good. My wife found the veggie special "unspecial." She said it was too plain. Perhaps getting the hummus instead of the avocado would have made a difference. The interior is small and they "borrow" the outside seats from the bar next door. May be worth checking out other items. read more

They've recently stepped up their gluten free offerings and they're !!! Best gluten free baked goods in town!!

Lovely; great coffee, great food. One barista, one cook, small, easy. Down near the water. Loved it, went twice on our vacation to Salem.

Super cute coffee shop with very kind employees. The plants are gorgeous and the coffee was so good. read more

The sandwich lives up to its reviews and the coffee was great. The inside of the shop is very cute and cozy, with a few seats and a little library. But what impressed me the most is the service...the people were some of the nicest we've met on our travels. read more

Wolf Next Door Coffee - a wooden table with potted plants - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

The most bitter cappuccino I have ever had! And it had the after taste of some syrup. Bumped rating up from 2 stars to 3 stars as the staff seemed friendly. To the owner: please invest the time and resources your staff needs in learning how to actually make a proper cappuccino--your customers deserve at least that much at $4+ read more

Super overpriced. Self serve coffee. Cups fall apart before you make it back to house. Save $10 and go to McDonald's. At least you won't be asked for a tip for you to make own coffee. Will never return. read more

Cute little shop with good good, friendly service, and delicious iced tea. I especially liked the cardamom and lavender iced tea. read more

This small coffee shop is packed with goodies. Excellent coffee, delicious treats and a small menu too. They always have special seasonal lattes available but you can never go wrong with their lavender lattes too. Bonus...they have oat milk available without it being a big deal or hidden behind the calendar! Love that they make dairy free options easy! read more

Wolf Next Door Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

One of my favorite coffee shops in Salem! Bomb breakfast sandwich and latte. Highly recommend!

Was visiting in town and came across this cute coffee shop while waiting to visit The Seven Gables. Staff were all inviting as well as their menu options. Recommend to one of their hand pies. I had a ham & swiss with a roasted garlic mustard. The hand pies look like empanadas but the crust is more flavorful. The shop is small with no space for dining inside but they do have a lovely out door setting with picnic tables. Sorry i failed to take pics but definitely don't hesitate to stop in! read more

One of the smoothest cold brews I've had in a long time! Their breakfast sandwiches, especially the bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin, are 10/10. The relaxed vibe, friendly staff, and proximity to the lighthouse make this my new go-to coffee spot. Highly recommend. read more

This cute coffee shop was a couple blocks from our rental for a few days so of course we had to check it out! This was AFTER we visited a couple other coffee shops and surprisingly disappointed with their service and product. That includes coffee and pastries!! Thinking we are doomed the rest of our trip, Wolf next door changed our lives with the best service and the best coffee! Incredibly nice staff and we appreciated their energy. Had to buy a cup and sticker for memories. read more

Wolf Next Door Coffee - Travel cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

The barista working was super helpful & nice. I did enjoy my dirty chai but it was a bit overpriced.. still a great local business

From a salem person who has tried just about every coffee shop in town, wolf next door has some of the best prices, best products, best atmosphere, and it feels truly local. It's rare to find a place that doesn't overcharge for stuff they don't even make themselves or source locally - fortunately wolf next door doesn't fit that description read more

I wish there was more time in the day to spend here. Comfortable, friendly and so welcoming.

The ambience and the people were very nice. It is a cute little place with a lot of potential. Emphasis on potential... first red flag was the cans of du monde coffee. Coming from two baristas with a background in espresso quality, du monde coffee is made of all the "bad" espresso beans that are ground and thrown away. The espresso at this place was atrocious. Overly bitter for espresso. There's a mixture of bad barista and bad espresso beans creating a bad cup of espresso. The beans are over-extracted and too acidic. My disappointment is immeasurable. I can't tell if the baristas have ever tried their coffee or don't know what good coffee quality tastes like. Very disappointing. Sorry to be a karen, but something needs to be done. Very nice people though so two stars instead of one read more

Everyone knows the old saying: "good things come in small packages", right? Well, the Wolf Next Door is a prime example of how true that is. Wolf is small, there's no denying that. It's situated on a one way street in one of Salem's oldest historic neighborhoods one block from the harbor, if you're driving, you'll go right past it. And that will be your loss. Find a place to park and go in! The coffee is great (don't know why anyone would say otherwise), the staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast sandwiches are delicious and there's enough on the menu for everyone. Add on that in the morning, before the neighboring bar opens, you can eat outside on their numerous tables, this is a great "Salem experience" kind of place. Find your way there. You won't be sorry. read more

It was recommended I go here by a friend who is a local. What an adorable hole-in-the-wall coffee joint! My cold brew tasted fresh and strong. Our English Muffin sandwiches were amazing. I will be back when I visit Salem again! read more

Our order was incorrect and staff openly complained about tourists while we ate our breakfast. Never felt so unwelcome. Salem is great, this place is a pass. read more
