    Back area seating

    I came here with one of my friends. It was on our coffee places to try while in Salem. This place did not disappoint! The whole vibe is amazing!! From walking inside and in awe of the wall art and the feel of the place. To the friendly baristas. It's not a huge indoor place, but they do have some seating off to the side and up near the front window. There's also some cute outdoor seating. Prices are about average places we go to where we are from $6-up depends on your order. I tried their seasonal pumpkin spice chai latte-oat milk with gluten free butterscotch syrup. Just the right notes and perfect for a brisk morning. My friend had their boo berry latte -oat milk. She said it reminded her of eating a blueberry pie!! Odd meter has so far in our top spots that we've had.

    If you're in Salem, definitely stop by Odd Meter for coffee! The store is in a convenient location and has such a cute and cozy atmosphere. Everyone who works there is really nice and made our drinks really fast. We ordered a tea and flat white which were both great (and included beautiful coffee art!). They also have specialty coffee flavors and drinks. Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in Salem!

    Odd meter is a nice place to grab a quick breakfast before exploring Salem. Their sense of style and decor, as well as their branded products (stickers, clothes, etc) are adorable. The food options are good but nothing too special--mostly standard muffins and bagels. The fall latte options were fun, including pumpkin and caramel apple. Service was quick, the drinks were awesome, but the food was just a bit underwhelming. Also, I'm pretty sure the plants they're keeping have a fruit fly infestation, because we sat right by the plant shelf and there were tiny fruit flies everywhere.

    As far as local coffee shops go, this is a solid choice! The prices are fair, the coffee tastes great, the service friendly. I loved that there were different milk choices also. The coffee shop itself was easy to find, clean, and quaint.

    Butterscotch walnut sugar cookie

    Needed a coffee after a day of waiting around at the courthouse for jury duty. I asked Sally, the server if they had lavender syrup and they recommended I get an iced Live Lav Love Latte which is made with half lavender syrup and half vanilla syrup. So glad he recommended this combo because it was so tasty!! The vanilla balanced the lavender and made it taste creamy and subtly lavenderish. Brought home a butterscotch cookie, a mojito scone and a Kouign-Amann. My husband and I gobbled them up later that night and they were quite tasty! The cookie tasted exactly like one I had at A&J earlier in the day so wondering if they share the same baker. Cute little cafe inside!

    Came in on my day of cafe hopping around Salem for matcha, and {spoilers} they were all about the same. Which to my palette, as someone who loves matcha and regularly gets it in Bay Area CA, was around a 5/10. That said, I ordered their special iced Strawberry Matcha, which had a light flavor and was overall refreshing. Pros: - lovely and knowledgeable staff - fairly fast service - cute atmosphere with some seating and plants! Also loved the mural art - all their plastic packaging is compostable! Cons: - average matcha made from pre-made concentrate

    We took a group trip to Salem post the Halloween madness. Best decision I've made in a long time. I get to extend my favorite holiday! My friends are sleepy so I dragged my boyfriend on a spooky morning walk. The town is also sleepy. But we were in luck that Odd Meter had its doors open and ready for our arrival. I will warn you that their capacity is 20 peeps in here. And now that I've tried the goods, I recommend prioritizing your arrival. There was a ton of specialty drinks to pick from with catchy names. We've been having all things pumpkin. I suggested to my boyfriend to change things up. He picked the "Boo-Berry Latte and I did "the Witch's Wand Latte" ! The blueberry was insane! It literally tasted like they smushed some berries and threw them in the coffee sans pulp! I was mind blown. My coffee was as they said, reminiscent of a molasses cookie! The coffee shop had some cute sitting options, a bathroom, some treats and a modern look! I wish they had the witchy tote bags! Loved the design! And the overall design and graphic design for the hot and cold coffee cups is also on point! I will always make sure to stop here whenever I'm in town! And I will dream about the Boo-Berry!

    Maple hot latte and raspberry pinwheel
    Brianna R.

    Came in during a morning weekday and the service was fast and friendly. I tried the maple hot latte with oat milk and it was absolutely delicious. Still thinking about it weeks later... The only miss is that I got a raspberry pinwheel that was a bit hard and room temperature, even for it being early. I ended up not eating most of it. I believe they get their pastries from A&J, so maybe not being baked onsite diminished it a bit. Definitely will return, though.

    Cozy coffee shop with plenty of seating. The drink menu was extensive and included seasonal drinks. I ordered a speciality matcha, which was described as having a pretty color when poured out. The cups they provide do not allow you to see this featured detail. Pricing was good for the size of my drink

    salted caramel apple pie latte
    Valerie V.

    needed a boost of caffeine mid day and decided to try odd meter bc all i saw were people to their cups. to be honest we came about 20 min before close and the staff was amazing. rhwy did have to close and turn some people away but they were so polite about it and took care of everyone that they let finish the day. efficient, friendly and solid coffee to boot! sales caramel apple pie latte was amazing (with oat milk ) go here vs the other spots genuinely good vibe

    Speciality iced tea
    Nani W.

    Yea was good, they were out of the other one we wanted to try, but that was okay. There is some inside seating. They have sweets, and grab and go's along with their drinks. I got a speciality iced tea, it was good. Person taking our order was nice & even made us a quick simple syrup! Side note. They have a bathroom that you can use, but as always, you should support them by buying something.

    Odd Meter is casual, the staff is friendly and the coffee is extremely popular. Their baked goods are overpriced for what you get. My ham and cheese croissant was served cold (not room temp) and had half a slice of ham. The croissant (bread) itself was excellent though.

    Dude, if it's seasonal, get the blueberry latte. Also the coffee itself is great. Would get there early though it really filled in.

    Found this little gem on TikTok and I am so glad that we came! All of us couldn't decide what we…read morewanted, so we tried a couple of different options. We tried the North Shore, Whole Hog (on a bed of tots), and the bacon egg and cheese! We also got 2 side orders of tots. I loved all the food, every bite I took was delish! There tots were hot and crispy and well seasoned also. For the coffee I went with the signature "The Crave", which was so delightful. I got it with oat milk and it was smooth and delish as well! The inside of the place is just a cute hip vibe. It's a smaller cafe with some seating along one of the wall of window, and then they have some tables. Right when we arrived, every table was packed, but by the time our food arrived, tables opened up, which was nice. It seemed that most people would turnover the table quickly to allow for others to sit. The staff were super friendly and patient, and all around great place to have breakfast in Salem!

    My friends and I came to this cutesy small shop to grab coffee/brekky prior to our day in Salem…read more Looks like they have 2 locations. One in Salem MA and one in Beverly MA. Parking- didn't see a dedicated lot, looks like street parking only. We found a spot down the street, walkable distance. Looks like we made the right choice, because the place was poppin. Lots of folks coming in & out. We were lucky enough to snag a table for the group while some of the group stayed in line. I noted several groups of ladies with cute witchy style outfits very fitting for Salem, that could def be OOTD worthy on IG. Service- seemed fine. My friends ordered for me at the counter while I held down our table, so I can't speak to the ordering interaction. They were speaking names out very low for pick up at the counter, I remember that. Food- I got the North Shore sammy - which comes with maple bacon, over medium egg, chedder cheese, maple aoili on a croissant. The egg was runny just what I like, and it was yummy and bigger than I imagined. Very filling. I could have just split one with my friends, but everyone got there own. So I left more full than I wanted, because I didn't want to take away. Drink- I got a latte, that was fine, nothing to write home about. If visiting this charming town try it out. I saw mostly tourist, so don't think it's a locals hang out. But it's not a trap luckily, lol.
