“I honestly can’t say enough about this place, The smoothies and the prepared meals are awesome but the customer service from the employees to the owner are absolutely amazing. The owner is so personable it makes you feel comfortable being there, she even gave me a free meal to try. I own a business also so I know what goes into great customer service and retention and they have mastered it because they have a customer for life with me. Keep up the amazing work!!!“

“I’m glad I see more people on the reviews praising Terry who works at this location. He deserves all the credit and praise. I saw his interaction with the family before me and he was genuinely the same friendly and kind with me as well! You go in for a meal and leave lighter and happier after talking to him. Food was delicious, by the way.“

“We had a small get together at Bits and bites cafe.. The staff was so courteous and knowledgeable.. breakfast and sweet treats were top notch. Please consider Bits and Bites for your next cafe, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Union Cafe has become one of my favorite go-to places in Lynn, MA. My wife and I recently moved to the area and upon visiting Union Cafe, we found the options limited for us due to the fact my wife and I are both vegan. After speaking with the very friendly owner, Charbell, and telling him, though we loved the place, thaat except for muffins, and beverages, there wasn't much for us to eat. He asked us what he could do to facilite us and after brought in Impossible burgers and Felafel wraps, both vegan. It has now become our regualar haunt. The entire staff is very friendly and provides exceptional service. I love when a business owner listens to his customers and responds so well. BTW, my wife loves the felafel and they cook the Impossible burger to order which is fantastic!“

“This is my favorite coffee spot in Beverly. They are always well staffed and friendly, and their baristas are consistent with drink and espresso shot quality. I’ve been here often enough over the past year that I can tell they have good staff retention, which is a good sign that they treat their people well, and I know helps with that quality and consistency.

I recommend their hot chocolate with their house made marshmallow, anything with espresso in it, and their tot bowls. Their tater tots are delicious and any sandwich can be made into a tot bowl.

I would skip the bakery items unless you have a little one, they are the only item type that I’d skip here. That said, I’d love to see babka or homemade poptarts in the case, but am happy with my hot food and iced latte.“

“Great food big portions great prices friendly people quick service comfortable atmosphere they don't rush you out of there you can take your time relax and enjoy your meal“

“stopped on our vacation to Boston while exploring in Salem! such a cute little shop!! our drinks were perfection!! I got a something seasonal coconut brulee? we also had a caramel latte both were delicious! amazing Boba selection too!!“

“Probably the only place in the area that actually uses a fresh fried egg! I’ve tried every single other coffee shop in Salem and Crave remains my favorite by a longshot. They use actually quality ingredients (not a microwave) and compared to other coffee shops, are actually quite reasonable for the area. Service is always friendly too :)“

“Breaking Grounds is my favorite place to grab a coffee and sit for a bit. The food is delicious too! But, the best thing about B.G. is the friendly welcome and happy atmosphere.“

“A must try. The bakery products are outstanding. I will be a regular.“

“We are visiting from England and have been to Heart and Soul three times in the past week. Why? Yes, the coffee is excellent and the food is very good, but it's the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Bud, that has impressed us most. We have lived and travelled in many places around the world but rarely have we experienced an owner with such a wonderful attitude and such a welcome. It feels like visiting a friend when we come to Heart and Soul....a place that embodies the name of the cafe and an owner who clearly knows what hospitality means.“

“Best gluten free sandwich I’ve ever eaten! The gf blueberry muffin was also delicious. Can’t wait to make it a regular stop.“

“We love Sweet Java! Everything is absolutely delicious and made with love! It has a wonderful atmosphere. The Grecian Acai bowls are to die for!!! Yum! ❤️“

“How anyone could give this place a bad review makes no sense to me. You've probably already read from the other reviews that the staff is incredible, but truly -- they are. They are so kind and welcoming to every single person that comes in. Aside from that, the coffee is AMAZING! They have so many different flavors to choose from and you can customize any drink however you like (even if it's not on the menu). Also, the breakfast sandwiches... wow. Get 'The Stallion', just trust me. Prices are completely reasonable. Honestly, no other coffee place I've been to even compares. I'll be a longtime customer!“

“Not only is the food outstanding, but they really do take care of their customers. 15/10 stars.“

“Very friendly and cheerful staff. Great coffee and sandwiches.“

“I tried the cinnamon coffee muffin this morning...fabulous! It was moist & flavorful & paired well with my hot & delicious java. I'll definitely be back soon.“

“I had the best mixed berry salad today for my lunch. It was packed with lots of flavors - so delicious! ❤️“

“What can I say other than magical?! We were fortunate enough to host my son’s 11th birthday party in the back room (The kids loved the secret hidden entrance through the bookcase). Tons of great games for all ages and the food was fantastic! Literally everything we had was gourmet quality and up to my foodie 11 year-old’s standards. We will definitely be back if not just for the food!“

“Best coffee ever! Shop local!“

“We had a baby shower this weekend catered by Root. They did an amazing job. The food was incredible !!! Rave reviews from all ! Thank you !“

“I love taking meetings over coffee at Kid Dream. The Sunshine pours in the windows and the baristas pour a great brew! I really enjoy their Golden Milk. Everyone that I introduce to the shop ends up loving it!“

“Annie and Kevin were awesome hosts. we had a huge group and they were kind and patient and welcoming! And on top of the excellent customer service, the coffee and food was amazing!“

“I relished the excellent temporary exhibit,"Saints,Sinners,Lovers,and Fools which featured stellar paintings by Netherlandish and Flemish Masters.There was splendid paintings by Pieter Coecke Van Aelst,Hans Memling and Workshop,Frans Snyders,Peter Paul Rubens,Jacob Jordaens,Anton Gheringh,and Jan Wildens.My favorites were Jan Wildens'"Panorama of Antwerp",Peter Paul Rubens'"Sailor and Woman Embracing",and Anton Gheringh's"Interior of Jesuit Church".This exhibit end May 4 2025“

“First time visiting Marblehead and Mookie’s was the breakfast spot closest to where we are staying. Hubby and I both had an egg, cheese and bacon on an English muffin and pumpkin iced lattes and everything was delish! We’re going back tomorrow for breakfast again!“

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!“

“I’ve been here three times in the last two days. And I’m probably going to stop in a lot the next few days. The food is so good and allergy friendly. A great place for vegans. Good atmosphere and the servers are so nice and friendly.“

“Kimball’s lunches and pastries are amazing! We have never eaten breakfast there but I assume that is awesome as well. Best of all, besides serving excellent food at fair prices, the staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.“

“The dark roast coffee of the day was fantastic! The atmosphere was inviting and the baristas were so sweet and friendly! Definitely recommend this shop!“

“Visiting from MN and we will always come back here when we’re in MA. 🥹 Every one of the staff were smiling and so so sweet, we felt overwhelmingly welcomed as soon as we walked in. Food is 10/10! Wish we could take this little cafe back home with us. Thank you Aldo and family for a memorable experience. Wish you and yours all the best! ❤️“

“The most amazing dinner experience we’ve ever had! Theresa made us feel like family and even kept my 7 year old laughing and excited the whole meal. Her food takes you right back to Italy and it’s made with so much love. We traveled from Texas and tried it on a whim - WOW best meal/experience of the whole trip. I am forever grateful for the meal and kindness you gave to me and my family. Please don’t hesitate, just jump in and try her place today!“

“The bagels here are excellent, and everything there is at a great price point for breakfast food. I enjoy them just as much as Abraham's in Newburyport. I only wish they would open a little sooner. I often get there at 7AM to find it not open yet. Hopefully if they get more business they will want to open earlier.“

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!“

“Delightful culinary fixture of the north shore. Food is top notch; better than home made.“

“Great food, wonderful service, friendly people. Family owned. We love getting our breakfast from here every morning. Family platter w/yummy, fluffy pancakes, the best scrambled eggs, perfect sausage links and lovely lite white toast. Perfect way to the start of our day. Thank you all so very much.“

“I joined their wine club to make my wine nights that much easier. Parking was super easy and my pick-up was quick. They have plenty of add-ins to level-up my fancy dinners including the fresh fancy pasta, flavored salts, and cured meats.“

“There is no better chicken sammy out there - and staff is always super happy and kind, outgoing.“

“Natalie & her staff are awesome! Brought my wife here for her birthday. We really enjoyed the açaí bowls & the waffles! Look fwd 2 our next visit :“

“My mom and son love the fresh lobster rolls! Luisa, thank you so much for taking such great care of them! Please support this local business and treat yourself to a perfect New England lunch!“

“Awesome place to grab a quick bite and service is excellent.“

“I decided to stop in for lunch and try their Peru bowl with grilled chicken. The woman who took my order was very friendly and kind and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Unfortunately I found that the value for my meal did not match the cost. I had a medium iced tea and a Peru bowl with grilled chicken and my total came out to be over 28 dollars! Below is the bowl I ordered minus a bite. For 20+ dollars for a bowl I do not expect to be served onion butts as seen in my photo. The garbanzo beans weren’t seasoned or marinated, the lime vinaigrette while nice was barely present. The quinoa, chicken, avocado were all very fresh and tasted great. The salsa was pretty good. Overall I was disappointed by the serving size, lack of flavor, and lack of attention to detail by serving the butt of an onion. Their customer service was great and I enjoyed the ambiance so I would give it another try but I am hesitant to return just because of the lack of value compared to other places that serve bowls.“

“My first time in and we will be back! The smells! The food! And of course the best coffee. We loved the vibe and the different seating options. Great way to step away from the chaos and into a different world for a beat.“

“If you want a hometown diner feel, this is the place to go! Went for breakfast here this morning and it was great! The service, food and staff were awesome. I just had surgery on my hand and I mentioned to my cousin how an omelette would be easier to eat then picking up a sandwich. The waitress quickly chimed in and told me the cook will cut it into fours for me! I would recommend this place to anyone! 😊“

“The food and drinks are very good... making you're own breakfast sandwich is a game-changer.. all of the food is great. The only downfall that keeps me from going more frequently is they don't have regular iced coffee. They have regular hot coffee, flavored iced coffee (decaf, hazelnut, french vanilla), and they have cold brew.. no regular iced coffee, which seems like a very simple thing to just not have when you have like 100 types of lattes lol... I get the cold brew when I do go, but its a once in a while thing, can't do cold brew all the time.“

“The salads here are exceptional. A great Mac and cheese too. This is a good place to take family and friends. Jennifer our order taker was very friendly. An employee even opened the door for us with a smile as we entered the restaurant. Thank you“

“The best bagels around and absolutely amazing cappuccino. The only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 on service is because the young girl I constantly get just doesn't seem to want to be there. Don't get me wrong service is fast, orders come out exactly how you ordered them. However, the counter staff taking your order should, at the very least, be pleasant.“
