Coffee was really good, great atmosphere. HORRIBLE chairs, though.
I was really impressed with the coffee, it was great. I love really dark coffee and they had some that worked.
The atmosphere is very nice, clean and bright. Friendly staff, and a nice crowd just all chilling.
The better Than Mamas restaurant is connected right next door too so you can get some nice comfort food along with your coffee if you want something more than pastries.
BUT. The chairs are horrible. Seriously. I tried two different chairs and they hurt my butt, right to the bone. And I'm not a super skinny nor super fat guy. They just aren't comfortable at all. I didn't try the lounge type chair at all yet since I don't like holding my laptop in my lap. The "regular" table chairs, those were just horrible. I was wondering if they want to make sure you don't sit there too long or something lol.
The chairs at Better than Mamas restaurant next door were much better and more comfy.

Great atmosphere with expansive room and outdoor courtyard. Open later than most other coffee houses also. Noise from vehicles racing up and down on Broaway is excessive but that is not their fault. Only complaint is that the coffee is never quite hot enough for my taste.

The coffee is great, and their cookies are yummy! It's a lovely, very spacious place with lots of windows for sunshine and floors for meetings. The size of it is what I LOVE about it!! No where else in Salem can you go with so much room!!!

Love Broadway! This is a great coffee shop, with modern, industrial chic design, and the vibe of the kind of place college students would go to study (in a good way). It has a more open, airy layout than the Ike Box, so it isn't as cozy, but which vibe you'd prefer depends I'm sure on your mood or preference.
The music does vary by who is manning the coffee bar, and sometimes seems a little unfitting for a coffee shop. Also, some of the tea-beverages can be a little weak or watery in flavor (their Chai Lattes and London Fogs aren't my favorite, but their Meadow Tea was delicious!). My friends have all spoken highly of their coffee beverages (I can't do coffee, myself, so I can't speak from personal experience with those), and their pasteries are delicious!
It does tend to be quite busy on Sundays, as its attached to a church, and the members (understandably) tend to flock to the coffee shop after the service. So I would recommend going at a different time of the week if you can.
Overall, this place is a great spot to study (if coffee shops are your vibe), go on a casual date, hold an informal business meeting, catch up with a friend, get some work done (if you don't get distracted easily), or just sit and reflect.

My first time there. Very clean, lots choices of places to sit. My mocha was very good and the scone was good but it would have been better warmed up. Not sure they do that for you because I didn't ask. But it was still good. Looking forward to going again sometime.

This place is huge! More like a coffee castle than a coffee house! Walked here with my daughter and I was surprised at their menu style. Simple and classic. For example they serve espresso by the shot, so if you want a double espresso with cream and sugar, thats exactly what you have to order. They don't have exquisitely sugary drinks like Dutch bros and Starbucks, its very classic and modern. Honestly, and this is my professional opinion, this is a place for people who truly LOVE good, strong coffee. If you doctor your drinks up with tons of sugar and cream, you may not like the drinks here. The coffee is strong and rich, just the way i like it!

I came here for the first time the other day and my white mocha was amazing. I love the atmosphere here and the fact that there are meeting rooms here and comfy chairs to sit and enjoy your coffee. I like to savor my coffee and enjoy the experience and what better way to do that with a nice comfy chair? I plan on coming here again and again.

The staff changes over the years but the warm and friendly service does not. Don't come expecting to get the fastest cup of coffee, but they will serve you one of the best tasting you can buy. Great meeting place as well and plenty of places to sit and read or plug in your device and work.

Great pastries and coffee. HUGE space (obviously limited seating with COVID currently) however great spot to meet up. Lots of parking around, so easy access. Quick and friendly service.
Bottleline: Would go back.
