44 Best Coffee Shops in Salem

“Fantastic selection of drinks! Good quality of tea. Great people!“

“Offbeat Cafe is so cozy, and it's got plenty of space to sit and work on something or to just chill with some coffee. Their pastries are unique and tasty, and they've got a nice selection of seasonal and interesting drinks! Also, free bubbly water! They also have their own (small) parking lot, but there are lots of other places to park as well. 10/10 my favorite coffee shop in Salem!“

“I write reviews for Yelp also and I specialize in winkling out venues where seniors alone feel welcome. And I range as far south as Albany. Of all the coffee houses I have tried, the Urban Grange has been the most consistently reliable and satisfying. Coffee and bake goods are the best in town, parking is the most convenient, and waits are short.“

“Incredible food and atmosphere. I ordered from the Barista Maddy and she was an absolute pleasure to be around.“

“Came on Sunday morning about 8:15. No problem parking my van on street right in front of door. There was no one else parked on the block. Love the outdoor tables with my dog. They are spaced well apart, as is the inside seating.

16 oz hot Americano, quiche Lorraine and a lemon blueberry scone. Everything was delish. I’ve been here now 4-5 times while working with my K9 in the area. Experience has always been the same. Fantastic. It can be crowded, not helped by people ordering and standing there talking to staff while the line queues up behind them. Maybe some staff training on how to move people along nicely. As a former bartender, I always found a polite “excuse me, I need to help the next customer” was enough of a hint to move them along“

“Excellent service, great coffee every single time!!!“

“Delicious food. Great drinks! Small business from a local Salem family.“

“My favorite coffee and coffee place! I love the gals that work the West Salem spot. I look forward to my Sunday trip out just so I can see them and get a good cup of coffee. The gals remember my favorite flavors and they always! have a smile and welcoming greetings. I don’t go anywhere else. Keep it up! Oh; they deserve a raise 😊“

“I am a coffee snob, according to my husband ;) , but this coffee is amazing! I have had several different drinks made several different ways and every time it’s perfection! The ladies that work their are super nice and helpful. My kids and dogs love going there too :)“

“How could I not love a small business coffee place that has delicious sandwiches and incredible coffee concoctions that go all the way up to FORTY FOUR OUNCES! I’m a dog groomer y’all, I need my coffee, and Coffee In Motion not only provides enough to get me through my day, no matter how hairy it gets, but does so with such warm smiles, conversation and obvious passion for what they do. It does hurt that my pup always gets plenty of love and treats too! Edit to add: Y’all, my dang IGUANA now enjoys coming to see the best barista in Salem. I jokingly asked her where the iguana treats were after my pup received his and I just happened to also have my scaly dude with me. Well joke was on me when she came back to the window with lettuce that he happily gulped down. 🤣💚 I honestly can’t stop raving about this place.“

“I just LOVE the pol Dutch hires! They r super friendly and I love their iced mochas! They always welcome me with smiles and r always happy to see me! I have developed a bond with the Dutch crew on Portland Rd in Salem! I have been going there for almost 3yrs now!“

“Do you think you could ever do something like this? I found this uncredited pic and posted it on Salem Eats 2.0 to see if anyone knew where something like this is offered in Salem. No one knows! But, the response has been overwhelming with people clamoring for iced coffee flights. Just a heads up if you’re looking for a new way to bring in customers!!“

“Had unfortunate experience at Lancaster location this morning. Employees were more interested in visiting with the person in front of me than taking my order. Even after getting her drink she did not move. Several people came out of the building and it appeared they were also going to talk with the customer. I won't be surprised if they didn't laugh when I drove away“

“This is the BEST place for coffee! My pups loves his pup cups and love the $2 go to local human society.“

“I stopped in today for the first time with my daughter. What a need inviting place to stop for a meal amd coffee. I had the turkey crepe and my daughter had the blta crepe, they were both very good! I also had the salted caramel cold brew and my daughter had an iced coffee, I can't remeber the name but it had French vanilla, caramel and white chocolate, coffees were great and not bitter.“

“I recently visited Dutch Bros, and it was a fantastic experience! The drive-thru was quick, and the staff was incredibly friendly and energetic. They really know how to create a welcoming atmosphere with their upbeat vibe.

The menu offered a wide variety of drinks, from classic coffee options to unique flavored smoothies and energy drinks. I tried one of their popular cold brews, and it did not disappoint—rich and refreshing!

The only downside was that the line can get long during peak hours, but it's definitely worth the wait for a quality beverage. Overall, Dutch Bros is a great spot for coffee lovers looking for a lively and enjoyable experience!“

“Love your coffees, and usually get good service. Friday morning, April 14,2023 - your employee failed to take down our phone number and charged me $4.50 for a small hot caramel silk. Did she overcharge?“

“I brought in a punch card that someone gave me when I was still homeless...I fought my way out of homelessness with God's help. I shared with one of ur employees my story who in turn handed me a nice hot mocha through the window of my van that I just bought with my retirement pay that whad been Stuck in limbo until figured out what to do.. any who...Just want to recommend The Human Been to you..they're a great group of sincere young people working hard with a happy and professional attitude..I give them FIVE BIG STARS AND A SUPER THUMBS UP!“

“Always friendly customer service. They know me by name and greet me by it. Makes me feel like I am back in Seattle.“

“I love this place, it's fun, has Chai Tea Lattes, and great place to do a little work.“

“On the 6th of April I was having a particularly difficult day. You see my husband has stage 4 small cell cancer. I was struggling to maintain and your staff was so gracious in their caring not even knowing what I was upset about. 💔 They did help my day . I do hospice work and still had angels to go see. The guys and gals helped give me that extra to keep going. I thank you all. I can get good coffee almost anywhere but it is the staff that makes yours great.“

“I’ll say that I’ve been to this location a few times whenever I’m able to stop by and I always have good experiences here. Drinks are always good and consistent, but today the incredibly nice and funny girl taking orders outside was amazing! She recommended a flavored green tea for me which I absolutely loved and her energy was just great!!“

“Amazing Dutch Crew, always friendly and excellent service!! Truly the best!!!“

“Starbucks on church Street is my favorite coffee shop in Salem! The baristas are a top notch crew who are extremely hard working and always so friendly and personable! They make My drinks perfectly and timely in the drive through! This is the best Starbucks experience in our town! This Crew are amazing people!“

“Coffee was the best around. Lots of yummy food.“

“We found the staff very friendly and the coffee was quite good. We always try a straight latte for the first time. We enjoyed our strawberry scone too!“

“Such a cute space! Love how kind the ladies were who helped us.

I got the cheese panini - which had cheese and pesto on it. I also got a chai - they serve Big Train chai. Both were delicious

The candle on the table was a nice touch and made the space feel very relaxing.“

“Amazing crew! Love everything about this team!“

“Always a little less sweet than I would like but otherwise they are great.“

“Nice, student like atmosphere, friendly staff. Coffee is good, better than the law school's coffee bar. The bar bars are to die for. They're oatmeal, fudge brownie bars, soft, moist and chocolatey. They also have buzz bars, like the bar bars, only with coffee. Great for a pick me up. They also have a modest selection of nice teas. Worth a visit.“

“Super good coffee ! And very friendly staff. They have tables under a covered area where you can sit and drink your coffee and eat a pastry. They even have a little garden. Last time I went I even believe they were selling some jalapeño plant’s.“

“Love the baked goods!! But … they also serve grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup!!! The coffee is also very delicious!“

“If you need a quick cup of coffee or specialty coffee this is a good place. Cost effective no.
A drive through. The servers are helpful and outwardly cheerful.
In my opinion it's too much to pay on a routine basis and so, it's more of I'm out and about and cannot wait. I can make coffee just fine and tasty at home. But so far this does beat Starbucks for attitude and a little better price for sure. I had the Anialator. They do have an ap and a free coffee on your birthday.“

“Driving through my town wanted to try a local roaster - no luck, they were closed at 10:45am on Friday. While Starbucks is soul searching as a business I am looking for alternatives, so stopped at Black Rock coffee. This is a drive through only, friendly staff, average coffee place.“

“If y'all have never been to the JavaRoma on Lancaster, I highly recommend it. Especially if you're a mutant like me and only drink sugar-free stuff. 🤣❤ I've been going here for the past 8+ months, and I'm never disappointed, and absolutely LOVE the people who work there. ❤❤❤ Leah found about my engagement and was so sweet & wonderful about it!“

“As people line up across the street for their $6 breakfast drinks at the fancy coffee chain, I go to the humble little place with the plyboard window. Why? Because the service is friendly, the lattes are made well, and I can get a latte AND a muffin or sandwich for less than I’d pay for just a latte at Dutch Bros. Why waste money? I am grateful for this less greedy place. Keep up the good work! ??“

“Ashley was awesome! It's unfortunate the manager decided to leave her by herself for awhile, to the point of her getting frustrated. That would happen to a lot of people, but she was sweet. Didn't catch the gals name working the register, but she was also really sweet. They were dealing with a customer that was yelling at them and making a scene. I thought they handled it well. Coffees I ordered were good, thank you.“

“This is the BEST place for coffee! My pups loves his pup cups and love the $2 go to local human society.“

“Amazing coffee. So many flavors in a plain cup. This is now my favorite coffee shop. I will be buying some to brew at home.“

“Great selection of beverages and ice cream.“

“The service was just fine. The coffee was typical of Starbucks—good. There are three tables to sit at and free WiFi if you need to work or whatever. It’s inside Fred Meyers so it’s not the normal Starbucks atmosphere. But it’s all good. Starbucks is Starbucks. If you’re looking to sit with coffee like I was, this will do the trick.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a Fred Meyers. You can bring kids here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible.“

“Did an excellent job making an off-menu variation of a drink for me 👌🏼“

“Fresh start has amazing prices on fresh produce grown on-site through the juvenile program.

Their plants and arts and crafts made by the youth are pretty amazing too.

Great food good coffee, decent price and greatly benefits at risk youth.“

“I came in on the 3rd of September and I needed a quick sandwich for my husband who was having surgery. I have never been there before but the young lady who helped me was courteous and very helpful. She was alone and she handled an awkward situation very well. My husband loved the sandwich! We will be back!“
