What People Are Saying
from Google"I came by two different times and it was packed full but it makes sense since this is in Salem. I got a hot cappuccino both days: one a vanilla, the other one caramel. They tasted pretty good but weren’t great. They did keep the inside very clean even though it was busy nonstop. My friend got a hot chocolate both times and loved it. The Halloween decorations were cute."
"We stopped in for breakfast, my kiddo and I, and was greeted immediately. I ordered the ham and cheese crepe, and my kiddo had the waffle with fruit, Nutella, and ice cream. Seeing as we were on vacation, why not have dessert for breakfast? Anyhow, the portions were large, but it didn't take away from the quality at all. My crepe was absolutely delicious and came with a small portion of salad that was very fresh and tasty. I had a cappuccino that was very good, and my kiddo had the chai latte. She said this was the best Chai she's ever had. We had breakfast very early, around 7 am or so on a Friday, and most of the customers we saw appeared to be local, which was cool. One very sweet older lady sat near us, and she was definitely a local and a regular. She was very friendly when we briefly chatted. Based on the vibe of this place, I assume a lot of locals must enjoy it here for a quick coffee and pastry in the morning. It's very cozy and laid back."
"The ham and cheese crepe was delicious and nicely presented with a small green salad on the side. The service was pleasant and polite, the food came out quickly, and the coffee came faster yet. The cappuccino itself was very average, and not up to my somewhat snobbish standards — but as we were here for my daughter’s homework/wi-fi needs, the food and calm vibe (and cool shelter from the already-sweltering summer morning) fit the bill perfectly."
"I ordered a matcha latte and was solid. If I’m in the area I would definitely stop by again. Great atmosphere too."
"Nice cafe in a good location. Had a delicious apple turnover that they warmed up and the drinks were really tasty. I got an iced vanilla Chai latte and my wife got a vanilla latte."
