What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Stopped by Saltwater Coffee and asked for a rose chai latte that wasn’t even on their current menu — I’d seen it on an old menu online. Fully expected a “we don’t do that anymore,” but the barista didn’t blink and just made it anyway. Respect. The drink? Really good. Balanced, fragrant, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like chai instead of hot milk with a memory of spices. The rose was subtle, not perfumey, which is exactly how it should be. The barista had that monotone, low-key cool energy — chill, not rude, no performative friendliness. Just did his thing and did it well. Ambience could use some love, but honestly? When the drink hits and the service is quietly solid, I’m not mad at it. Came for a long-shot order, left impressed."
"Will not be coming back. Decent coffee, nothing outstanding, no good seating, zero vibes in the coffee shop, employees were very loudly talking to each other and taking up all of the tables. Please for the employees, play some nice music and don’t gossip so loudly. Seats have no backs / are not particularly comfortable"
"Saltwater Coffee is a delightful cafe with charming ambiance. I thoroughly enjoyed my cappuccino, and the cafe's lovely decor made for pleasant experience."
"First cup of coffee I could not finish in a long time because it was tasteless. It also took a long time to get our coffee because the barista made another groups drinks before ours even though we ordered first and it wasn’t busy. Also talked to another customer loudly and negatively about unhoused populations in the neighborhood. Very distasteful."
"Nice little cafe, with peaceful decor and ceramics for sale. They have specials now and then, so worth checking out. Got the lavender latte and the flavor was subtle, which is nice. A few spots for working as well."
"Small little coffee house in the LES. Seating inside with a few small tables. They also have baked goods on the counter."
