The lane we were directed into was not clearly marked, and by that point we were already stuck in line with no easy way to switch. I explained that we had already been waiting and that the confusion was due to unclear signage, but the staff refused to take our order, saying it would disrupt their queue. Rather than helping resolve the situation, they simply turned us away. The interaction was rude and unhelpful, so we chose to leave without ordering.

I'm always searching for local coffee shops over the ubiquitous Starbucks or Dutch Bros. Traveling…read moreup to Salem the other day was no different. Of course, I turned to Yelp for options since I'm not too familiar with the area and found Higher Ground, which was conveniently located about a mile from my sister's house (our final destination). The location is a bit odd, as you'll find it set back in a parking lot at the base of a large church--now I get the name, punny! Quick, friendly service and really reasonable pricing. I ordered 4 espresso drinks (one with a milk alternative) and the total cost was only $14!! And besides being well priced, they were well-made.

Great little coffee cafe! (Best in NE Salem). If you're looking for your Starbucks alternative,…read morethis is it. It is much nicer, quieter, and cosier. There is soft-seating around the gas fireplace, plus conventional seating throughout. The the visual ambience of art and soft music is just right to get the day started. Plus plenty of outlets for your electronic devices. The only draw backs are that they're only open 7am - 11am, Monday through Thursday, and hard to locate as it shares space with the People's Church. There is a TV above the fireplace, which I'm happy to say is turned off. If you're looking for a quieter place for your morning coffee this is it. It's definitely one place I'll be coming back to!

Environment: Fairly spacious interior. You'll see the long order corner up front and the restrooms on the side; a code is needed to enter. We placed our order at the counter and had a wait before our drinks were ready. We ordered 3 drinks but only 2 of them came out. Not sure how, but they somehow lost our order for the 3rd drink. And we had to flag one of the employees down to ask about it. What was ordered: - Nitro Cold Brew - Matcha Tea Latte Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. The place was nice and clean but the wait was long, and they lost one of our drink orders. Credit cards are accepted.

You take your time and get to chat with friends and actually taste the food. The chairs are plush and comfortable and you never feel rushed. A fresh ice cold bottle of water is brought to the table and the service was amazing. So warm and friendly and they explain the menu if you have any questions. The food is clearly the best I've had in a long time. The spices are so rich and flavorful. Half the menu is vegan/vegetarian and the other half has meat options. If you want to sample a bit of everything they have a delicious platter. The braised beef is melt in your mouth tender and so good! 10 out of 10. I am so going back and taking all my friends and family with me.
