Been a year and I go here often, so thought I would update this…read more I have a new favorite breakfast which is the cucumber/veggie sandwich and I get it on everything bagel with cheese added. So good. But let's talk about their coffee. Beverly has so many great coffee places and they are all good. Atomic is one of my top two places. Coffee is smooth, and consistently tastes the same which I admire. The wait staff is great. My pet peeve, is that they have all these signs that say that the booths are saved for 2 people or more, and there are often booths with just one person working. Yes, some are waiting for someone, but many are not. Just frustrating cause when it is busy and I want a booth for me and my friends, I want a booth. Ok I'm done. Best sit and gather coffee place in the city. And surrounding cities.

I was doing some research for coffee joints to hit up during our day trip. Blackcraft caught my eye…read moreso I made sure it was on my to go list for our Salem visit. After looking over their drink menu, I knew this coffee joint was a must go to spot. I didn't realize that this shop is in the back of Blackcraft Cult. A very beautiful but very dark store. I did mingle my way through the store to get to the coffee joint. I'm happy I didn't get too side tracked cause a mob of people came after me. After standing in line for a bit, it was finally my turn to head in. The shop is really small and has an 8 person limit inside. I was so excited I finally get to finally check it out. Walking in, I was mesmerized by how stunning this shop is. What caught my eye was the fireplace. Ughhhh, it's stunning! My dream fireplace. It's black, ornate and completely breathtaking. The dried flowers, the picture of the witches, the cute ghosts and the cauldron with more dried flowers had me daydreaming about having this fireplace in my living room. The beautiful chandelier illuminated the room. More dried flowers hung from the ceiling. All of it is just magical It's the most stunning coffee shop I have been to. I finally got my drink ordered. After looking over the menu earlier, I decided to go with the Slasher S'more. A dark chocolate toasted marshmallow latte wit all sorts of goodies on top.... how do you not want to get that? Magic mocha, Spellbound latte, Good Witch latte, whoever came up with these names and concoctions need an award. My drink was everything I had dreamt about. It was so good! It tasted just like a S'more. It was also crafted so delicately with toasted marshmallows, graham crackers and blood splatter. Stopping at this coffee joint was one of the highlights of coming to Salem today. I'm happy I was able to grab a drink, vibe out in the shop and be able to appreciate this stunning venue. I don't know if I'll ever be back but I can officially mark it off my bucket list.

I was excited to try this coffee shop after seeing nearly everyone I walked by that day holding a…read morecup from here. I was hoping it would be witchy without being too touristy. That was pretty much the vibe, although there were fewer seasonal / spooky themed menu items than I would have guessed. There was a strong emphasis on pumpkin and fall drinks offered, which I'm not looking for in July. There is no separate entrance, you have to go through the Blackcraft clothing store. It's fun to look at and has some funky things - I've always wanted to check out the store anyways - but it smelled like moth balls to me which was wild for a clothing store, so I felt like I already had that smell in my nose while I was waiting for coffee and taking the first sips - not ideal. Service was pretty quick and kind of friendly. I got the Midsummer Latte, which was mostly raspberry flavored. It was the perfect level of sweet, but got a little weird tasting as it warmed up a little as I walked around the city in a heat wave, so make sure you drink this one pretty quick for the best effect! The freeze dried raspberry pieces on top were so tart and tangy, they'd catch me off guard every time I got one in my mouth but in a fun way! It made the flavor more authentic. The decor in the coffee shop was very fun, as were their take home coffee bag brew names (ex: Labrewbrew, lol!) It's a small coffee area and seemingly had no air conditioning, I was getting sweaty just standing around for the few short minutes it took to get my drink. I kept thinking the poor baristas must be so uncomfortable. Pricing was on the higher side ($9 and change including a tip for a medium ish sized specialty latte), but for such a touristy area I was (begrudgingly) expecting this. Overall I'd love to try it again, maybe next time getting the featured caramel apple drink that sounded good. Like a lot of places in Salem I experienced, it seems like they're just not super equipped for heat wave temperatures unfortunately.

We were looking for somewhere near the Cabot Theater for dinner and we found The Castle. We were…read moreintrigued by the concept playing board games while eating dinner. If I'm being completely honest we expected the food to be ok but not the best as that's typically how places like this are. We were so wrong!! We started with the mozzarella sticks and they were out of this world. Next up was Caesar salads; not the best but still good- they needed more dressing and it needed to be a creamier dressing but the lettuce blend was fresh and they put a ton of cheese and croutons. Unfortunately we had to take our dinners to go as we were running short on time. We should have planned to have been there longer; this was the only issue we had. Unfortunately they only had two servers and they were slammed. The food was great but the service just too long. If we didn't have somewhere to be we wouldn't have been phased by it; we wouldn't have even noticed how long everything took because we were so immersed in the environment. When we got home we had our dinners and again we were expecting them to just be ok because we were heating them up. Again we were wrong! I had the short rib sandwich and it was AMAZING, loaded with onions and mushrooms it was crazy good. My husband had the steak tips and again phenomenal. We will definitely be back when we have nothing to do afterwards. *I'd like to add the staff was great just very busy!

The food was pretty darn good too. The not so good: the people employed here are very nice, but the service is beyond slow. We were with a six-year-old so we ordered a pizza for him shortly after sitting down. It came about an hour and a half after we walked in. It took at least 3/4 of an hour to actually be able to put in the rest of the order and probably well over a half an hour to get it, which we did at least 20 minutes before the youngster got his pizza... there was also hardly any people in the restaurant. I would definitely recommend it but make sure that you're not in a rush and you're not starving because it will take a while. It is fun though and delicious.

Prices were extremely reasonable with a breakfast coming out to about $13 and the employees behind the counter were super friendly and nice. The breakfast was delicious and a great portion for the price. My partner who has not eaten an egg in about 20 years worked up the courage to try this one and LOVED it which was as a huge win as he now knows he does like eggs! I personally enjoyed the beans and sausage, which definitely were just as good as what I've had in Ireland. The restaurant was relatively quiet when we went, but there were still a handful of regulars there. There was also Irish session happening around noon, which we stayed for part of and it was nice as well.

It was a large space with plenty of table, high top, and picnic table style seating inside and outside there was plenty of patio seating. Right across from the Beverly Depot. They have food available which people were coming into grab and go. There was a handful of beers as well as some on cask. Seemed like they probably have more but were out of a good amount given the number of taps we could see. In general it was clean. Not sure we would rush back. Still we were glad we checked out a local place.

I got an iced honey cinnamon latte and avocado toast, and my partner got an iced miso caramel latte. Both were delicious and I thought the avocado toast was unique and yummy! The bread was definitely the highlight for me - it's served on a thick slice of crusty bread, which I thought was wonderful. It's not the quietest place to do work, so I don't know if I'd recommend doing meetings here, but it could be a good place to work from "home" if your job doesn't require you to join a lot of calls. We worked here for the morning but ended up heading home since we had a lot of calls today. I do have to give a shoutout to the bathroom! This bathroom was definitely designed by a woman and I thought it was great. Spacious, clean, cute wallpaper, diffuser and room spray, AND free tampons with applicators? This bathroom really had it all and I thought it went above and beyond what most cafes have.

I found their menu to be super creative and I really don't think you could go wrong - everything sounded delicious. I think that all the drinks use oat milk so it's also very friendly for anyone who's dairy free. There are some non caffeinated drinks and kids drinks available as well, so there's definitely something for everyone here. We did takeout and our drinks were ready within about 2 minutes. There is a counter seating area, but overall not too much seating, so it definitely seems more like a cafe that you grab takeout from rather than one you'd want to sit or work in.

Went for mothers day…read more Tea: 2/6 people liked their tea. Mine reminded me of soap. It was something lavender. The berry one was a favorite, the green tea pomegranate was a full miss. Food (savory course): I told the server I was vegetarian. She told me that they would bring out extra vegetarian sandwiches, which they did not do. I was stuck there eating bread with a sliver of cucumber (too thin for a crunch) a thin swipe of cream cheese, and one to two flattened micro green sprouts in there. I was hungry and the other sandwiches looked great. Dessert 1 (scone course): Didnt recognize it. they gave us a dry lemon scone with a heck of a lot of icing on top. No cream, no butter, one factory processed jar of strawberry jam. Nothing to ease into the desserts. Dessert 2 (sweet course): All horribly sweet. Madeline was dry and had a hunk of chocolate or something on top. Not at all what I expect a Madeline to be (oven-fresh) and again too sweet. Petit fours: they somehow did this one well. Cream puff: winner. elderflower in this was excellent and it was light fluffy and fresh. Chocolate lumps: no one ate this. Macarons: too sweet. Almond one everyone but my dad hated. The purple one we thought was overly sweet without much flavor but was better than the almond. Chocolate ball with raspberry: intense flavor, pretty good, not sure what was up with the sprinkles. Honestly this is the second time I've been unimpressed, and after the staff fully disconnecting with the kitchen/customer I dont think I'll be back.

They are known for the sourdough of course, which is wonderful in all forms, BUT you need to expand from there. Their breakfast sandwiches are made with a light soufflé kind of egg cheese inside that is so yummy and of course it is on their brioche bun. They have sandwiches that are just too die for. A ham and brie on. French baguette which is great. I don't eat ham and something about this is really good. Bread all chewy which I love. They had a winter special sandwich which had sweet potatoes and apple slices and is delish. Also a turkey bacon apple sandwich, I think that it is, where the bacon pieces are large. Really good. Lots of pastries of course. Great cookies, blueberry muffins, cardamom buns, savory items in pastry area also which is also a treat. So much. Great shortbread, and more. If it sounds like I have tried everything they have it's cause I have. Check it out.
