Is it annoying to say this place changed my life? Yes. Am I going to say it anyway? Also yes. The vibes? Immaculate. Like the kind of place where everyone smells faintly of bergamot and social justice, and no one makes you feel weird for asking if the tacos are vegan. The almond croissant? Exceptional. Transcendent. I’m pretty sure I orgasmed when I ate one. I had to close my eyes. A stranger at the next table whispered, “First time?” and nodded knowingly. The coffee itself is top-tier—smooth, rich, and clearly made by someone who respects both caffeine and chosen family. I ordered an iced oat latte and it came in a mason jar with just the right amount of judgment. Perfection. I left caffeinated, affirmed, and a little bit gayer than when I arrived.

Bunny is the best! Not only made me a great coffee, but she also greeted me with such warmth and positivity. The whole shop had vibrant, welcoming vibes.

So glad to see a new Saltwater in the city! I came by for an after work happy hour and there was something for everyone. The espresso was solid, and so was the chai and matcha. There was also a good selection of local craft beers and organic wines. They have a sommelier on staff, who extensively walked us through the different wines. They also have a decent selection of pastries and snacks. Will definitely be back

Best coffee shop in LES. Great atmosphere, great drinks, great service.
Great coffee, cute space with decent seating. Just be warned on very hot days there doesn’t seem to be AC! Still worth a to-go visit then :)

amazing experience and energy. have been helped by both bunny and margo and both have great recommendations and great personalities. it’s both a good place for a coffee and some laptop time and an equally good spot for a late night latte or glass of wine.

Cute little coffee shop, fair price, nice location, super chill. Staff was extra friendly and helpful, bathroom was clean. Coffee was great, but the breakfast pastries were pretty meh. Good experience overall, just need to work on the food situation a bit.
