“When I stumbled upon Beantrust during one of my walks in Beverly, it was like discovering a hidden gem! From that moment on, it became my ultimate go-to spot for delicious cold brew coffee and amazing baked snacks. Their ham and cheese brioche is an absolute delight! But what truly sets Beantrust apart is Erik, the incredible owner. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his friendly demeanor makes every visit feel like a warm welcome. It's not every day you find someone so passionate about their craft and dedicated to creating a positive atmosphere for their customers. Beantrust is not just a café; it's an experience filled with excitement and genuine hospitality!“
“THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Went in with my friends and they were so kind to us and told us about their recommendations. This is the best iced latte i've ever had. They also threw in a free treat because my friend couldn't make up her mind. Go to this place immediately.“
“Literally cannot stress enough how this is the best coffee in the area... maybe even the North East. Any time I have to leave town I get upset because I wont be able to have my usual vanilla cappuccino from the best staff around. We are SPOILED! 5 stars is not a high enough rating.“
“The Northshore breakfast sandwich is purely addicting and has become my occasional goto. However, I do feel that they get their counter staff from the RMV reject pile. If I'm paying $18 for a really good breakfast sandwich and a very average cold brew, I do not think it's too much to ask for a smile and to be thanked for my business. I was standing with three other customers and we were all in agreement.“
“Went in for breakfast today and picked up the cake for my fiances birthday. They were super busy, but the staff got everyone through quickly. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches were tasty, loved the bagels. We cut the cake tonight, it was moist and delicious. I barely got a pic because my sweetie was so anxious to cut into it. Thank you!Second visit was just as amazing. I had the Hot Cubano and strawberry paczki. Highly recommend!“
“I come through this assessment to retract with the cafeteria attendant, I must have misinterpreted the situation, I apologize and I am always available to help.to talk. At that moment I felt like that, but as explained by the attendant, it wasn't what I was feeling. I have always received very good service at this establishment. It was just a noise of communication in the language and I will continue to frequent the environment. I am correcting my assessment of the establishment.“
“I moved here about a year ago and this has been my new go-to spot since. It reminds me of the place I used to go daily when I lived up North. The food is amazing, the service is amazing and leaves me feeling at home. This place is truly special! Highly recommend to all 10/10 Thank you to the “
“It's so great to have the smell of fresh bread on Cabot Street! My favorite thing is the Ham & Gruyere Croissant - you can ask them to warm it up a bit for you and it's just the breakfast snack.Parking: There is metered parking on Cabot St or Broadway“
“I'm totally ashamed that I haven't written a review for Zumi's yet. It's really a great place. Literally coffee and community. I've never experienced such an open and inviting and patient coffee place. They will go overboard to make your coffee hit exactly what you need it to. And if it's too late for coffee, they have ice cream.There's often live music and it's a great vibe.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, which is great since the school and the creative Co-op are neighbors.“
“Love Daily Harvest cafe! The food and coffee is always fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. My favorite breakfast is the veggie sunrise wrap and the Chloe sandwich for lunch features the most delicious cranberry orange mayo! I love that their breakfast wraps and sandwiches have freshly cooked eggs, not the microwaved patties you sometimes find in other coffee shops. We come here year round, but I especially love DH around the holidays. It's small and cozy, and I always look forward to voting for my favorite gingerbread house while sipping on an eggnog coffee. :)“
“We ordered breakfast sandwiches over the phone for our millwright crew while in town for plant maintenance. The staff were extremely friendly & very fast with the breakfast sandwiches we ordered, they were ready as soon as I literally walked in the door! They have a small cozy atmosphere that I'm excited to bring my wife back to enjoy together. The sandwiches were some of the best we've had in a while. My croissant was very light & airy, yet not too flaky at all. The bacon was crispy, the cheese wasn't too hot and the egg was cooked perfectly! The guys enjoyed their bagels and we couldn't shut up about how delicious everything was. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town for outage season!“
“I've been a fan of this place for years - their scones are perfection - especially the ginger pear. They used to have a huge plate glass window where you could watch the bakers do their thing, that has now been turned into extra seating - which is a good thing, because they need it!“
“A staple of the Ipswich community for years with great coffee. A lot of fantastic people have staffed this location over the years, with the consistent oversight of Umesh & Babesh. Thank you guys for your dedication and commitment to the town.“
“I was impressed on how good the breakfast was. Also treated myself to a muffin, which was delicious!Vegetarian options: There are some options. Was kinda in a rush, so I didn't have time to notice.Dietary restrictions: There are definitely some options. Depends on your restrictionsParking: Huge parking lotKid-friendliness: Super friendly kid atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: I believe it's all on ground level.“
“Stopped by this cute shop needing a dose of caffeine after a long flight and fighting jet lag. The service was amazing and being from out of town the baristas were so kind to tell me what was in every beverage. Ended up ordering the Nutty Bee after they told me they make all their syrups in house. The beverage wasn't too sweet and really enjoyed the nutty flavor that came through What really impressed me was how friendly the shop owner was with all the customers and how she treats her employees. She seems to be very supportive and you can tell with all of the banners she enjoys making a positive difference in the community“
“came in here just to look around today and left with a glitter lollipop, rose sugar, and a perfect sandwich (ham, cheese, Dijon mustard, lettuce, etc) on a baguette!! it was so delicious and definitely didn't skimp on the shaved hamm :) this started my day off right and I will definitely be back :)“
“I had ordered a cappuccino yesterday. I didn’t recall what kind it was But it was extremely well-made. I have to say I’m a coffee enthusiast I like coffees from around the world and the coffee definitely took my breath away. Thank you guys this place is definitely worth going to see and definitely leave the ladies a tip.Parking: And I believe on the right side of the building“
“Adored this place, and will probably come back someday even though I'm not close. Was a nice place to work, awesome tunes, and a really cute space. The pour-over coffee I tried was fantastic, as well as the pastry, and I like the ceramics they have.“
“This was a close walk from our accommodation and it did not disappoint.My mom and I were immediately greeted and given some time to choose what we wanted for coffee and food.I got a fall special that was better than any pumpkin spice drink from Starbucks or Dunkin and avocado toast. My mom got an iced Americano and a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant.Our food and drinks were exceptional!The atmosphere was laid back and relaxed with music that is not loud. A wonderful spot to get some work done as well in their booths, at a table or at the counter looking out the window people watching.If/when I make it back to Salem/Beverly, I will make it a point to stop back in!Highly recommend.“
“Never had a better breakfast sandwich in my life. I've now had five different types of their sandwiches and they are far and away the best. The brioche is phenomenal as is their bacon. Seriously, you can't find bacon like this anywhere else. I frequently go back and forth about which sandwich is my favorite, but the Live Free or Die is my go-to.Their fresh orange juice and coffee are top notch as well. Their hashbrowns and Loaded Hashbrowns are worth the visit and must be tried. Overall, some people gripe that it costs more than most breakfast places. I think this is silly. Just because you CAN find similar items for less doesn't mean you should. For whatever reason, breakfast tends to be overlooked and always categorized as "give me a lot of it and for cheap." While the portions here are fine, it's the quality that really stands out. Yes, you can get an egg mcmuffin for cheaper. But if you can't tell the difference in quality between the english muffin from McDonald's and Crack'd brioche, I don't know what to tell you. I love McDonald's but think it's ridiculous to compare the two on price alone. Breakfast can be so much more and Crack'd shows that.“
“I wandered in at 7am on a whim while the rest of the block was still waking up. Staff was busy prepping for the day but made me a delicious Americano to warm me up while I finished exploring Salem. Cool place, cool vibes, cooler people. Great coffee!“
“We love Sandpiper. We love the staff, the food, the atmosphere and the convenience. As a small, local business owner, I have zero problem with their transparent pricing. We offer the same. It’s crazy that somehow transparency is being spun as a bad thing in some of these reviews. Any way I could go on and on about the cost of running a small business, but most people don’t care bc they aren’t in the arena. Their primary concern is the extra .45 their croissant costs.We are regulars. We order for our family and our clients. Everything is exceptional. I particularly love the salmon toast, almond croissant, tapos for a quick sweet, any of their counter sandwiches, grain bowl and the chick pea soup! I’m sure my kids have their favorites too. And my husband will eat literally everything there. Heading over this afternoon and hope to grab 2 of the homemade chicken pot pies for family dinner!When my mother reached end of life, their quiches were the only thing she would eat. I would grab a coffee and 2 quiche on the way to hospice and be sure she ate something amazing with me. The hospice staff was not happy with me but that didn’t phase me one bit. Because of this Sandpiper will always have a special place in my heart.This bakery is popular! Be prepared to wait, look at their menu in advance. Have a back up option in mind. No matter what you choose, you will not be disappointed!“
“Such a good spot and nice people. And awesome sandwiches, soups and more. Plus cool provisions I’ll call them (sourdough bread, premade coleslaw which was amazing btw). So glad we found this place, thanks to Google Maps and high ratings I must admit. Which is why I am adding my support! We look forward to our next visit!Ps. Photo does the wrap no justice other than I saved half as very generous size! Trust me handmade goodness at The Mill!“
“Was spending the day with my bestfriend and she suggested going to this tea shoppe by her house. She kept telling me how much I would love this place. I really didn’t know what to expect since my taste is kind of eclectic. However, she did not disappoint! The moment I entered I didn’t even know where to begin looking because it was all so beautiful! It was so COZY! Every little nook of the place was filled with beautiful treasures! The water fountain sounded so relaxing and I can’t even explain the coziness of the furniture that is there. I carefully, read the menu and selected the “Thai tea latte” I will never be able to go to Dunkin Donuts again. It’s was honestly the best thing that I have tasted in YEARS! If you do decide to go, 100000000000% try this drink! If I didn’t have to run errands after leaving there, I would have definitely purchased the gelato to bring home. I also purchased two bathtub teabags which I can’t wait to try out tonight! And a very reasonably priced smudge stick. Now let’s get to the owner, I will admit upfront that I am not a people person and my anxiety makes me avoid small talk at all costs. She was so friendly and warm. That I couldn’t help but talk to her. When we left, my friend said “Who tf are you? You never talk to anyone”. That is exactly why I am writing this review. This place is AMAZING! The only bad thing is that I live 45 minutes from there! I wish I order a gallon of that Thai tea latte so I could drink it every morning ? Honestly though, I can’t wait to go back and try some of her other specialties!“
“This is a MUST try!!! The best Hot Pot we have ever had!! We are very experienced hot pot customers, this was THE BEST! Delicious soup base, all super fresh ingredients, delicious fresh bright red meats. Also great iced teas of all different flavors. We were super impressed!!!“
“I’ve ordered here three times already and all three times have been delicious and consistent. Their breakfast burritos hit the spot and the salted caramel oat milk macchiato was SO GOOD!! When I say RUN don’t walk to this cafe I mean it!! This place deserves a full 5 star google rating, 4.7 doesn’t do them justice!!! New favorite breakfast spot hands down!!“
“Fantastic bagel sandwiches and expertly prepared coffee beverages. Kevin and staff clearly care about their customers and strive for excellence. Their motto is "People first, then coffee," and it shows. Think "Cheers" for breakfast.“
“We've gone their for breakfast many times and always enjoyed it. So we decided to try their catering for a Christmas Party at our home and my goodness was is amazing! The menu was wide ranging to pick from. The food was delicious. And the price was very reasonable. Next time we need a caterer we will call them again!“
“If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would. It’s so friendly, clean, and the food is DELICIOUS. German the owner was very friendly and made sure everything was made to perfection. Definitely try the muffins if you’re stuck on what to eat. By far the best muffins I’ve had ever! 10/10 recommend this place !!!“
“We have been frequenting Plus Café for both breakfast and lunch for over a year now and what keeps us coming back is not only the food but the entire staff. Everyone comes from service oriented Mediterranean countries, which gives the place a nice European flavor. The staff and the owner are all quite enjoyable to deal with. Oh, try the Marblehead Stacker sandwich. You could feed a family of four on this thing, and it's amazingly delicious!Vegetarian options: Various salads, bagels, muffins, wide selection of pastries, and we found the friendly and helpful staff are more than willing to help you build your own meal to order.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan diners should not encounter a problem. The overall theme is Mediterranean so you're looking at healthy eating.Parking: Parking is along both sides a long avenue that runs in front of several shops and the café.Kid-friendliness: Kids are not a problem and we have seen many come and go. There's even a high chair, but we can't honestly attest to the quality of the pablum!Wheelchair accessibility: The café is on one floor with front door access at sidewalk level. Wheelchairs therefore welcomed.“
“I went to La Dolce Vita on Friday for my mom's birthday and it was definitely worth the 2 hour drive. I'm originally from Connecticut, I saw them on Instagram and the atmosphere looked so nice and fun I decided to take my mother. From the moment you walk in there's lots of smiles everyone is very friendly and super attentive. They attended us very quickly and when they saw that there was no seating they quickly helped us got us chairs and clean the table off for us they even went as far as helping us with pictures. The atmosphere is great I also loved how they play Christian music in the background making the atmosphere child friendly and also peaceful. Everyone there is so nice and friendly I can't wait to go back again. If you do stop by try their pistachio macaroons they are delicious!“
“This little place nestled in the center of Boxford has a large menu selection; everything from subs, seafood, sandwiches, clubs, pizza, calzone, pasta, and wraps; I went in for coffee and ordered the sausage and eggs; oh my goodness, it was huge; not a lot of tables, but most people seem to grab and go. Well worth the price.“
“Had a couple of drinks while passing through Salem. Def on the sweet side (not a big fan). Loved being able to order through the machines without standing in line (great for folks with that type of anxiety). They have a cozy room with sound proofing that makes it easier to get some work done, however it was a Sunday afternoon for us and it got quickly crowded with chatter.“
“Best BLT with eggs I've ever had. Hands down. Coffee is nice and strong, Not burnt tasting like other café shops. Staff was super friendly. There is limited parking for cars. For semi trucks there is the side street that runs along side of the café. You can turn your truck around at the dead end of the side street. Can park temporarily.Parking: Semi trucks can park along the side street that runs on the side on the café. Turn around at the end of the street. Parking is somewhat temporary“
“Bruce and Dede do an outstanding job providing the best service possible no matter how busy it can get. I love seeing the staff every week and any of the locals that may be in there when I go. Great local café that 100% deserves a visit if you’re coming from out of town. Oh and they got the best scones/muffins you’ll ever have too ;)“
“A great little Cafe in a charming town. My husband and I stopped for something quick for breakfast last week before exploring the town and they didn't disappoint. Their lattes were perfect and I had their Kouign-amann which was so good my husband went back for another to take home.Their staff was warm, friendly and very welcoming.Hope to visit again someday!“
“My two favorite foods sound boring to some, but I can't help it -- I'm a savory food kind of person. I love nachos and I love BLTs, and it's amazing how many places have managed to not do these two things well. I have never been able to find a place that can make a good BLT, until now!I needed a quick lunch today and went here on a whim because it was close by. I saw they were closing soon, but there were people inside so I headed in. Sometimes small, local coffee shops can feel drafty or unkempt or just lifeless. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I'd want to sit there for hours. The temperature was just right, and the ambiance felt friendly and warm.I acknowledged that they were closing soon and asked if I could still order a sandwich. They replied in a way that felt welcoming, and not like I was imposing on them (which some places, 15 minutes prior to closing, would have). I ordered the BLT and used the restroom while I waited. Even the restroom was pleasant!I sat in one of the two window bays on a comfortable stool (again, perfect! sometimes they're way too high for a 4'10" to get up on, or off), with a complimentary cup of water (I love when cafes have serve yourself water). One of the servers brought my sandwich over and even on first glance I could tell it was going to be good. No wilted lettuce, no weird bread, perfect amount of mayo and bacon. It was the best BLT I've had at a restaurant, even better than I make at home.So, 5 stars for great ambiance, friendly, unrushed service, and a great BLT! I have no doubt that their other food is just as good.“
“Very quick service, super tasty drinks, and right by the Witch Trials Memorial! I had been craving boba tea for a while, and when I saw that place, I decided to just go for it and try it, and honestly, I wasn’t disappointed!It was just extremely quiet in the store, and even though it’s a large open area, there wasn’t much place to sit and rest.“
“Super cute and easy to find . The drinks were good and the town is great location . So on your way see hocus pocus cemetery grab your self a refreshing drink for the walk . You won't be disappointed and everything reasonably priced and very clean and cool so you can relax and enjoy your drink before your next adventure.“
“Wow, wow, wow! Came here on a recommendation from a friend that works at Tendercrop Farm down the street. My husband and I were surprised to see so many cars coming in and out of the sizeable parking lot. Taking it as a good sign, we headed into the beautiful building. The line was long, but worth the wait! We grabbed a beautiful load of herb Parm sourdough, a cinnamon donut, a brioche chocolate mousse roll, ham and cheese croissant, two passion fruit tarts and two coffees. Came to a very reasonable total of $41. The coffee is great, and so far we've only tried the cinnamon donut but....WOW! It is so light and airy and delicious! Very very pleased. We were looking for a bakeshop near us ever since Bird & Wolf shutdown, and we are thrilled to find this gem that's only 10min away from our home.Only suggestion would be to possibly consider a slightly better system for order fulfillment. A single cashier who is also responsible for picking and packing everything leads to a bottleneck.Can't wait to go on a Friday night and try the dinner portion of this place. Really pleased!“
“Though the coffee and food are both excellent, you’ll only get a glimpse of Kaffmandu Coffee House’s best feature if you order to go. If you have the opportunity to settle into this warm and welcoming spot for a spell, you’ll get to see the owner, Om, in action. That’s where you’ll experience the kind of service rarely encountered, but always guaranteed to make you smile. Whether behind the espresso machine or restocking the fridge, Om calls out to welcome every guest, calling regulars out by name. When your coffee is up, he’ll again call out to you personally and send you off with well wishes for the day. What more can you ask for to start your day?Kid-friendliness: I got to see Om, the owner, engage , with a regular’s child. Top marks for making both dad and son feel special and very, very welcome.“
“The service here is wonderful. I am gluten free and love their breakfast sandwiches on their freshly made rosemary focaccia bread. Everything is cooked to order and it's a comfortable and cozy place. Went here four times in one day. Every time I visit Salem I stop in at least once.“
“Sweet Java is hidden gem in Swampscott over in the Vinnin Plaza area. Everyone is always so friendly, there’s a great vibe and you can tell the people who work there really care. The drinks are make perfectly and the food is always delicious.“
“I haven’t been there, but my husband got me a bag of their dark roast to make espresso at home, and it pulls a beautiful shot of espresso! The dark roast is smooth, delicious, and has a chocolatey undertone that blends wonderfully with either regular milk or oat milk. Highly recommend!“
“There are many different kinds of teas to choose from. I ordered a large hot tea and it came with a big tea bag that was good for the second cup. I took a star away because one of the creamers in their fridge had expired 10 days before we visited.“
“If all you want is fantastic boba tea with friendly service, this is the place for you. Their menu is extensive, the customizable options are plenty, and prices are good. And the make or break factor with any boba shop is the freshness of the boba. Even though only minutes from closing time, the boba was still perfect! Though not much seating, and sparsely decorated, you will forget that as you play Uno, chess and other games lying around, be filled with joy at the ear-to-ear smiles and contagious laughter coming from the owner, and the incredible taste of their teas and smoothies. Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: The smoothies are non-dairy, so perfect for my son with a milk allergy.“
“I work a lot and was in the mood for a nice cup of coffee, while waiting for my stunning date to come out restroom I was greeted by a welcoming duet seating area by the fire . I ordered a cafe au lait as well my date . Fernando was very personal , charming and was full of smiles . I loved the energy he had , we had a few good laughs and I advised him he would get a good review . Thank you for your warmth professionalism and kindness. Danielle and me appreciate it . A one star review followed by 5 big golden stars“
“Eggs cooked exactly how I wanted them (not a fan of runny whites), which not many places do. The bacon was nice and crispy, and the home fries were well seasoned. The corned beef hash/swiss omelette was a nice big size and could probably feed 1.5 people. Nice cozy location right in the heart of Salem downtown!“
“This locally-owned gem stands out not only for its exceptional coffee but also for the inviting atmosphere that makes it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors from what one of the locals told me while waiting in line. The location is a gem on the corner in the whar area. The warm and rustic interior, adorned with exposed brick walls and wooden accents, creates a welcoming retreat. The friendly and knowledgeable baristas add to the overall charm, providing excellent recommendations and a genuine passion for their craft. The coffee menu at Jaho is a celebration of variety, featuring a range of carefully sourced beans and inventive concoctions. Whether you prefer a classic espresso, a creamy latte, or a pour-over showcasing single-origin beans, Jaho has something to satisfy every coffee preference. The commitment to quality is evident in every cup, with each brew crafted with precision and care. The seating area, whether indoors or on the charming outdoor patio, provides a cozy space to linger and enjoy your beverage. It's a perfect spot for solo coffee contemplation, casual meet-ups, or catching up on work with the complimentary Wi-Fi. The relaxed ambiance and eclectic playlist make Jaho a versatile destination for various occasions.“
“These workers are so nice! I went in today and tried using my app to get my points. For some reason the barcode was not showing up correctly and I told the woman its okay, and she ended up giving my drink for free. It was quick to be ready, and the staff seem to get along and enjoy what they do :)“
