“The staff was very pleasant and assertive..the food was great and worth every penny...i would definately come back..i already shared a post on my fb page too!“

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

“It’s hard to find a good cup of coffee sometimes, just tried Lulu’s and was very pleased, it was bold flavored, but not too strong. Breakfast croissant was delicious, with plenty of scrambled eggs and cheese.“

“A fantastic gem with excellent customer service! Get The Hero coffee, it was delicious. Everything was so good and fresh!“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“We love this place , we stop by after our kids gymnastics classes a few doors down just about every Wednesday . I’ve never personally got the drinks or teas but my wife and kids love them. I do however love the Banh Mi’s though!Seems to be a small family run place , the man and women behind the counter are always friendly. Would recommend.“

“We are from NY and came for breakfast…the best breakfast sandwiches. The pita bread was the best I’ve ever had! My son had a bacon, egg & cheese on a brioche bun. He said it was excellent! Owner was friendly and visible. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I really loved this place. The environment was very clean and nicely organized. I liked the colors of the decor, and even the small carpet that separates the tables- such a cute detail☺️

The food was fresh and very tasty. Everything felt well prepared and made with care.

The waitress who served us was very sweet and polite, which made the experience even better.

Honestly, I liked everything 🙈 It was a fantastic experience and I will definitely be back🥰“

“Good oatmeal and donuts and Dennis and Lucy are the best“

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

“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!“

“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! ❤️“

“The greatest place to start your day.“

“Lisa has done an amazing job with this space. Curating a culture of business owners, and consistently investing in the space- new signage/awnings/interiors, and top of the line cooking equipment. The Saturday cafe is so good- a welcome neighborhood place to head to on the weekends for delicious treats and inspiring atmosphere. Foodies dream!“

“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“

“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!“

“Delicious Stuffed French Toast and very friendly service !“

“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.“

“today was the first time eating there, excellent service, the best home fries I have had so far.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wicked good coffee - Reading and Tewksbury.“

“I go here every morning and the staff has now felt like family to me. Most kindest people and by far the best coffee and bagels around. This location will forever be my favorite.“

“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!“

“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 :“

“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 love La Qchara. Their lattes are amazing. The only thing is I wish the plantain empanadas were a staple on the menu. They are literally my favorite empanadas ever, and I only could get them from La Qchara. So I find myself visiting less because of it, and have been unable to find a fulfilling empanada to this day!“

“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.“

“I have been going to Empower for 5 years now, and Nick and the rest of his staff never fail to exceed expectations! This is one of my favorite places to grab my morning caffeine and catch up with the team! The teas offer a feeling of clean energy that I've really grown to love as I've moved away from coffee. Also, I love seeing how involved this store is with the community--They have hosted some amazing events in the Woburn community and I love seeing local businesses, teachers, and police officers at the cafe everyday. Empower is truly doing some amazing community-building work, which I really value...And that's not to say that their teas aren't also ADDICTING. Can't recommend enough“

“Delicious“

“70 years old. saw the cafe' and stopped for breakfast. Best I ever had. Corned beef hash and hash browns perfect. Eggs benedict great. Waffles perfect. best service,friendly staff. Great atmosphere. probably never be around here again. tooooo bad“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“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!“

“Took my daughter for a ice cream to celebrate her first day of school yesterday...I haven't been 30+ years (😳) Oh the nostalgia!!! What a great space with all the fun candy displays and the ice cream bar was just how I remembered! Can't wait to go back! Thank you!!“
