A&J now offers vegan cream cheese for bagels, vegan cheese as a substitute on sandwiches, and a really wonder "veggie press" sandwich that can be easily modded to be vegan (sub vegan cheese and omit the pesto spread -- try their house made hummus on it instead!)
As of 2024~2025, they usually have at least one vegan pastry item available each day. Beans are no longer Coffee By Design but Atomic Coffee from Beverly and they do a great job with it. Also, of course, A&J's bread is to die for. Top tier. Love it.

Everything was just lovely. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the shop itself was very cute.

Excellent bakery. Egg & cheeese breakfast sandwiches took a little long to come out for “breakfast on the run”, though they tasted great!

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!

Spartan atmosphere. Excellent pastries and coffee selection.

A&J King have been selling excellent traditional french bakery items for years now and have become a local institution. Over time, they've slowly been adding more vegan options to the menu. Vegan muffins, cheese, and cream cheese are available daily. They also sometimes have vegan cake, sandwich, and soup specials. There's at least one vegan employee that I know of and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Plus, there's excellent coffee from local favorite roaster, Coffee by Design.

If I make it back to this area I’ll definitely be coming back here. The food was delicious, but the chai latte was my favorite. The staff was very friendly and very helpful answering any questions I had about the menu and just the area of Salem in general. Loved the atmosphere the morning I was there. It was a little busy, but there wasn’t a wait. I found a table easily, got my order quickly, and enjoyed the vibe.
I usually don't like cinnamon on coffee. But bruh the sticky bun latte was out of the world. Highly recommended

Best tasting pumpkin latte I've ever had in my LIFE. The real roasted pumpkin really makes a world of difference. Sbux could never. The apple orchard sandwich was also exceptional.
IDK why it took me so long to try their brick & mortar location, but I'll 100% be back.
