Archive Coffee & Bar

Great coffee and dessert, okay food 👍 atmosphere is great too

I stopped in recently to check this place out. The big space was energetic and very appealing. Customers enjoying drinks and food with a nice variety of artwork and other cool displays on shelves and the walls. Loved the cool-looking bar and high ceiling.

I purchased a couple of bags of their coffee beans to take home and was disappointed to be charged for a small drip coffee without a discount. I expect to pay for everything and don’t usually complain about this stuff, but I thought it was unnecessary to charge me for a small cup of joe after paying $24.00 for their bulk roasted product.

Most of the local roasters near my house in Portland will give you a free coffee drink of your choice with any purchase of their bulk coffee; admittedly, I had the same expectation here, but it is what it is. Archive Coffee is pretty good (the coffee is stout and fresh), and the service was decent, although the guy who helped me was a little high-strung, overly-hip and a little disingenuous.

There are too many other places for coffee that are way more chill..I I don’t need to return here.

Good cocktails. Prices are a bit high for my taste. Trendy atmosphere.

First time in. Great bar only had fries, dinner choices didn't appeal to us tonight. Maybe next time

I've been here more than a few times, and I can tell you, it is consistent. Which is great, because the service is excellent, patient, not pushy, knowledgable of their product, and take pride in presenting it to you. The cocktails are very well made, and their revolvers are creative, I've been surprised, but, never disappointed. I recommend this place all the time. The decor is comfortable, and well laid out.

Was a place my wife and I thought was a gem after moving here from Arizona 3 year ago. Sadly, it has disappointed after our first visit and tried to give it a chance. A few of many reasons. Over an hour to get out food the last couple times, switched the best cauliflower tacos to uncooked Chelseas, hint of cauliflowers and a salsa that kills any taste buds you have. We are saddened, but have many other choices in the area.

Great interior, great coffee, great cocktails. Love the attention to detail & decor. One of my favourite spots in Salem!

I love the kitten's mittens drink. The atmosphere is very inviting and warm. The staff is friendly and kind. Always looking forward to going there while I'm shopping downtown.

The positive: Very good coffee drinks. Good variety of tasty, food choices. Fun decor; sort of hip city meets industrial whimsical. 5 stars on their imaginative menu.

Negative: Inconsistent service. You may get vaguely disinterested, downright rude or, if you're lucky, actually friendly helpful service. 3 stars on the service (or the lack thereof).

Really beautiful place to grab coffee, and their espresso is awesome. Super smooth and acidic!
