Was my 1st time here. Didn't have any food but gave 4 stars just based on the presentation.

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

The setting is very nice with a very open and spacious feel - tables are not jammed close together. And it is an older building with nice character. But I do wish they would improve the acoustics. There's all hard surfaces with nothing to soften it deaden sounds so it can seem a bit loud and harsh to the ear. I think introducing materials to the space that tend to absorb sound would really help.

Service was great and the person I interacted with was all smiles, happiness and helpfulness. Set the stage for a pleasant experience at the cafe.

The menu isn't large but has both meat and veg options. I had a vegetarian burrito which was sort of like a panini and came with a nice salsa. It was good and satisfying.

A great coffee shop to either go hang out and enjoy some brew or grab a quick cup to go. I love their cold brew and the staff are always very friendly. I love that it's right next to the YMCA for that after morning workout coffee. I definitely think you should check them out!

Ike Box is an iconic business that has been an important feature of Salem for decades. The restored funeral parlor architecture is super cool and the coffee is better than most competitors.

Ordered a oatmilk latte, it was written on the cup, and the barista said "oatmilk latte" as she put it on the counter... found out the hard way later that day it was NOT oatmilk.. and seeing that they have a similar review about a vegetarian sandwhich i take it someone there doesnt care for dietary restrictions. Unfortunate bc it was a cute shop
