50 Best Coffee Shops near Manchester By The Sea

“Local cafe with solid food and laid-back vibes.Visited for a quick breakfast this past weekend. Being our first time in this town, it seemed like the only breakfast option apart from Dunkin. The menu offered a wide range of sandwiches and salads, and we chose the salmon bagel sandwich and the SEC croissant sandwich. Despite the cafe being bustling, we received our order within 10 minutes and enjoyed our meal at one of the patio tables outside.The bagel sandwich and scone were fairly basic, but the sausage egg sandwich and peanut butter smoothie were enjoyable. While the food and drink menu seemed a bit pricey for the location, we definitely didn't regret choosing this spot over the other alternative.

Parking: Free 2hr street parking (time limit strictly enforced)“

“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!“

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

“We always stop into Odd Meter when we’re in Salem! Delicious chai and coffee and the pastries are SO good! Nice atmosphere and great service too. Definitely worth stopping in!😊“

“Love it here - the staff are extremely professional and customer service oriented. It’s my go-to place to take friends when they visit from out of town.“

“I visited Wolf Next Door Coffee for an iced tea and muffin before touring House of the Seven Gables and I'm so glad I did! The staff was so incredibly friendly, the food and drink was delicious, the cafe was whimsical and dreamy, and it is so, SO obvious how much they care about their community. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Salem!“

“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!“

“What a gem! A friend and I recently visited Beverly and ate here or ordered coffee here daily… sometimes multiple times a day. The staff is so friendly, the coffee is perfection, the food is delicious and the prices are unbeatable. It is a picturesque cafe and if I could give it 10 stars I would. Highly recommend!“

“We were looking for ice cream places and this one popped up eventually! It should be everyone’s first choice! They have such unique and creative flavors. Never had better ice cream in my life. They deserve all of the hype and praise.“

“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!“

“Wow. From the fun marketing and designs down to the personable customer service and the incredible coffee, I'm so thankful to get to enjoy Little Wolf from here in MO!“

“Lousy customer service and excessive wait times!“

“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!“

“May have had one of the BEST birthday cakes we have ever! We ordered it from out of town on a suggesting and could not have been happier with it. This Boston Cream cake was out of this world!“

“Best coffee and staff in town! The staff is always extremely friendly, and everything always comes out just the way you'd like it!“

“It’s all good, why limit yourself?? And if you are anti-muffin and don't subsequently grab someone you love a baked good, then you are not a good person!!! Everyone here is super nice. Grab a coffee and something to eat and observe the cheery attitudes and incredible customer service. ”Fish rots from the head”....Whatever the saying, it is clear Maria is doing a great job relaying what sh knows on how to treat patrons, staff and the town of Marblehead. lt seems the people have spoken based on the crowd and crazy good flow of foot traffic! I can't wait to watch what you do next. They don't say ”Good Luck” in Texas because they don't believe it. Instead, they say ”Do good”. So....do good!!“

“Do you enjoy buttery pastry and jam? Would you like a sky-high cheddar biscuit, moist on the inside with a sweet little crunch on the outside? Could you use a crumble? Or a sea-salt-sprinkled chocolate chip cookie? We tasted love, butter, and fresh local ingredients in every bite of every treat from Source. If you have ever heard of Gloucester, you are close enough to plan a trip just for the baked goods. We did. We bought a box of goodies before hitting the beach, and we left the beach in time to buy more before heading home. So jealous of the Gloucester locals! I am still dreaming of the hand-pies.“

“Seriously, if you want a local flare, down home breakfast this is the place to go! Best coffee, service was OUTSTANDING! And food was out of this world!“

“I haven't been there yet.I hope we can find out soon or have somebody let us know.“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“Love Om,Jackie and Shanti! All of the staff are wonderful and Their coffee and breakfast sandwiches dee-lish!!!“

“great tèas and smoothies the staff are wonderful to their customers“

“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!“

“One of my favorite places, where I start my day. Best coffee on earth and cinnamons buns that are addicting 🤣 great food, coffee, and people.“

“Taro milk tea with black boba!!! Awesome flavor and even better costumer service! My new go to place for boba tea!!“

“The egg sandwiches are great, and the tater tots are a guilty pleasure! The coffee is pretty good too. Seating is a little tight.

Dietary restrictions: They checked if I had a gluten allergy based on my order. I don't, but it's reassuring that they are cognizant of this.

Parking: Free on Sundays, otherwise parking on Rantoul is for pay.“

“Let me start out by saying BEST HONEYDEW MILK TEA EVER!! Seriously, I have tried A LOT of milk tea in my day and what I ordered from sweet boba was the best milk tea I’ve had hands down. I am so excited that Sweet Boba is here! The staff is so kind and it’s such a nice experience. I will definitely be going here a lot!“

“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“

“We have traveled 3000 miles in the past five days, hands down this was one of the best places we ate.

The shop has a huge hometown vibe and if you're wanting to experience what being local and how the community takes care of each other, then this is the place to come.

The food was great, nice and fresh and fast.

Wish we lived closer because we would be here often!“

“One of my favorite spots to grab a coffee whenever I'm biking through Salem - friendly staff, tasty treats and most importantly: great coffee. Love all the artists they feature on their walls and the area is super cute. My regular go-to whenever I'm in town“

“I came with a friend for a late lunch. The food was fresh and delicious! I had the tiramisu latte which was perfect! Not too sweet! Cozy little areas within the seating area and a little fireplace with four seats. The calm atmosphere was well welcomed!

Parking: Bathrooms available.“

“the last stop is so awesome. love this place.“

“Today Sandpiper provided the food for my niece’s wedding shower. I can’t say enough about them. Everything was ready when I got there for pick up. The staff were great and very helpful. The guests raved about all the food: croissants, scones (beyond belief!), cinnamon rolls, quiche, salad, cookies, cold brew... Sandpiper scored a bunch of new customers today. We thank them so much!“

“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!“

“Love all of the chicken choices. Piccata, marsala, enchiladas, herbed. We keep our freezer stocked with "Mill meals!"“

“The regular girl who works here with the blonde hair and day brightening smile is amazing!! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything you order is make correct and most importantly made by someone who looks at it as more than just your daily coffee/drink but as your first pick me up of the day and something to look forward too when you get out of bed. She deserves a raise ??“

“We stopped in on our way out of town and were pleasantly surprised! Great little shop with great people and amazing energy!“

“Great starbucks. very clean. amazing staff. thank you.“

“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 😊“

“Best coffee ever! Shop local!“

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

“Top notch Cafe I meet the guys there every weekday morning for great coffee and good conversation!“

“I became a customer for the nostalgia, my parents store occupied this space for 45 years, but I return for the great location and coffee and teas. I often meet new clients here. I like the chai booster and lavender latte.“

“Fantastic food and service. I would highly recommend.“

“Who ever the kid is that works mornings at the Enon Street location in Beverly is very rude. I came into the store this morning when they opened at 430am. He saw me walk in, paid no mind to me and went off to God knows where. I waited 5 mins thinking he'll be back, NOPE!!! I walked out. If your not a customer oriented person, THIS JOB ISNT FOR YOU!!“

“Very kind owner who took time to talk to his customers and get to know about them. The smoothies are absolutely amazing and I feel like it lasted forever! We went back the next day for more! And will be going back again this week! So nice to have a place like this in town for the families and especially the kids!“

“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!“
