Brew Box on Essex

I love the concept, but the execution is lacking. Great value on the breakfast sandwich (which is DELICIOUS) but the lunch sandwiches are VERY small for a $9 price tag. You can go to another well know bakery in Salem and get a huge sandwich with chips and a pickle for less.

Service was mediocre and sorta over priced coffee in my opinion. I am big into coffee and I have no idea what kinda espresso they were serving. Mind you, we went on Halloween. Staff was ready to get out of there and I don’t blame them. Might be better on another day. I got an iced americano and a rosemary savory scone. The scone was great. They weren’t doing food items probably because of the holiday. Coffee was pretty good tho. Vibe was chill. Staff made it feel uncomfortable. Definitely a locals only kinda vibe. But once talking to staff they warmed up.. a little. Lol.

When we heard that this location served coffee roasted by Tandem Coffee Roasters from Portland, Maine - we were sold! My typical order is a small cappuccino, a bag of whole bean coffee, and a snack for the kid. The location is right next to the Peabody Essex Museum, making it really convenient if you’re walking around Salem. The most convenient place to park if you’re driving is the parking garage in the center of Salem.

I'm from Tacoma, Washington, so I know coffee. This is great coffee. Easily some of the best since I started my tour of the east coast. Mellow, notes of caramel. For anyone who's been/lived in Tacoma, it reminds me a lot of Bluebeard's espresso roast. I ordered a quad iced Americano with cream.

Got a cinnamon toast crunch latte, delicious, the adult version of finishing the milk in a bowl of cereal.

This is my favorite brew in Salem! The jalapeno and corn scone dis month is the best scone I've ever had. Thank you!

Local coffee shop with unique items like the cereal milk latte and vegan pop tarts. Friendly service in a clean environment. My hazelnut latte was 🤤

I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was a great balance of espresso, milk and syrup. The syrup provided just a hint of sweetness which I prefer to the overly sugary drinks a lot of chains serve. The barista on duty was super friendly and answered all our questions. Would return!

Coffee is AMAZING. However you can’t stay here to enjoy it. Nowhere to sit, just order and leave. Coffee is very rich and tasty. Medium blend.

Great snacks, great energy and great service!
