“Everything!!!!! I had the best Vanilla Latte this morning!!“

“Went to On the Grind this morning after seeing a post about them having a coconut bagel. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and know each of their regular customers. I watched them greet many and knew exactly what they were going to order or already had a preorder waiting. I ordered the coconut bagels for my son and I. One with regular cream cheese and one with pineapple cream cheese and they did not disappoint!!! The coconut bagel with pineapple was delicious and not overly sweet and lots of toasted coconut. Highly recommend trying this little hidden gem!“

“We hired Capito Coffee for our Winter Party at SAVY Little Playhouse, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

I wanted a barista experience for parents to enjoy great coffee while the kids played, and Capito Coffee exceeded every expectation. Gianna was wonderful to work with during the booking process: incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. She even sent a confirmation email the day before(during the holidays!) the event, which I really appreciated and found so reassuring.

Declan, our barista, was truly a gem. He was knowledgeable, kind, professional, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel taken care of. The coffee was delicious, genuinely high quality and guests were raving about it.

They were on time, polished, reasonably priced, and delivered an amazing experience. I would rebook them in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation. If you’re considering Capito Coffee for an event, do it! you won’t regret it!“

“My girlfriends and I stopped into this little diner on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious (classic comfort food done right!) Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and our meals came out surprisingly fast. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier!! They treated us like regulars from the moment we walked in. You can really feel the heart and pride they put into their place. Definitely one of those hidden gems that makes you wish every restaurant still had this kind of charm and hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“I love coffee but I’m allergic to it so I’m usually bummed out about the selection of beverages I can select from…until I tried Fresh Brew Cafe’s Earl Grey London Fog Latte (with Oat Milk). It’s SO delicious!! It’s the best tea latte I’ve ever had! Their homemade orange cranberry muffins are so flavorful and perfect texture. My son consistently gets their ice cappuccino and a bagel sandwich with egg, cheese and ham. I’ve also had their Thanksgiving sandwich and it was absolutely awesome. I’m so glad they came to Beverly. Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Chicken Salad is amazing. Good Iced Tea too“

“Best bake shop in Massachusetts..“

“My family eats here all the time, but this is my first time coming and I was blown away by the positive and sweet customer service, the cozy interior, and the quality of the food. The owner, Katie, was such a sweetheart. There are specials you can choose from as well as a curated menu with breakfast classics that everyone loves. I absolutely loved my time here, and I can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Was in town visiting Salem and noticed this place on our way. Headed here for a late dinner on our way back to our hotel. We’re immediately impressed with the design of the space. The owners son Joe greeted us and was incredibly helpful because we mentioned we’ve never had hot pot before. Past the great service and friendly atmosphere the food was absolutely incredible and we easily agreed it was in our top 10 best flavored meals. Would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Place was spotless. Drive up appeared to be busy from the inside but I could see the cars were moving along. I went inside so I didn't have to have my husband go thru the drive thru (he's not a coffee person) They were friendly and it only took about 2 mins to get my coffee. It's on a busy street, a corner and it was difficult to take a left out of the parking lot but I would definitely go again!“

“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.“

“Overall great pastry, exception was sausage roll. Very large roll with one pinkie finger sized piece of sausage tucked in the middle. Def not worth $5“

“Come here when Vinnie is working. Perfectly made every time with a smile. If he's not there it ruins my day lol“

“food is always great here. don't sleep on the devil's toast!!“

“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!“

“My daughter & I stopped here on a recommendation and so happy we did ! Fantastic service and great food …. Best avocado toast we’ve ever had and the soft pretzel was sooo good ! We also liked the selection of unique gifts they sold too 😊“

“love the coffee. worth the wait...“

“Great Service Every Time I Go Here. Fast Customer Service i Like that. Shane“

“Coffee is good, compatible to Starbucks in taste and cost. A bit on the high side. The feel is rustic. the pastries and breads are higher quality than most places. The pastries are NOT pre-packaged, so they are fresher. Today I had the cranberry orange bread with an Americano and cinnamon. loved it. Its a bit hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. There are tables, but not many. a few stairs inside to get to the counter to order and pay. So not handicap firendly. parking is a lot across the street with meters at $.25 per 10 minutes. so it cost $1.50 for an hour just to be there. so plan on $15 a person for parking, a regular coffee and a bread or muffin. I recommend this place of its a choice between chains like dunkin or strabucks, and Front Street. Front street is a step up.“

“This place was extremely cute they are located on a super cute little corner in town and it was my first time there and coming around the corner seeing this small cute coffee shop was absolutely awesome. They had pretty good coffee but I think their main things are their sandwiches they had a killer BLT and i enjoyed that thing throughly it was a very good sandwich! As well as the whole vibes of the place it was sooo cute on the inside with a bit of seating for people to sit down in at the other end. They had a beautiful wall for just paintings they were selling and I was so tempted to get one since they were so beautifully drawn! Overall this place is definitely worth the drive adorable place!“
