I drink a lot of coffee and love a good coffee shop. This is hands down my favorite place to go for coffee in Salem.

What a unique coffee shop , something you would normally find in Portland is actually in Salem. Ordered a vanilla latte. It was perfectly done. Was surprised to see there are three rooms. Service was great. They were very busy. Obviously people have found this place way before I did.. Would've liked to have had more than two donuts to choose from. Maybe next time it was kind of late when we arrived. Can't wait to take my friends there and show them the cute coffee shop. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great coffee and fun ambiance. Also a great place to plug in your computer and get some work done.

Interior decorations are on point! Service is super friendly and they offer free sparkling water on tap! All the lattes we've tried were a bit on the sweeter side but delicious! My favorite was the pumpkin chai. The bakery items were delicious too. I will come back if I'm in this area! read more

What a fun place serving up coffee, tea, pastries, and all this in a sea of LPs and 45s. You can even play then on turntable and listen on headphones. Some of the records are for sale. Funky fun decor too! Make sure to check out the bathroom. read more

I've been trying to find my new daily coffee shop and wanted to like this place. Overall experience was a little disappointing. Their atmosphere had a very strange vibe that didn't feel very inviting. The staff seemed a little distant and it didn't feel like a welcoming place to stop in. Our drinks were also pretty underwhelming, especially considering the price. I think they have potential, but the experience and value just weren't what I expected. read more

How I heard of this place: We were in Salem for a work trip and needed a spot to spend a couple of hours post-walk through the gardens, parks and trails of the area. An internet search and quick glance at reviews, brought us here. Type of cuisine: "Traditional Espresso is for Nerds: Forget traditional espresso machines. We rock espresso on tap, a bold twist brewed from cold brew concentrate. It's our brand of rebellion, served in a cup. Expect a flavor that defies expectations. Come try it for yourself and if you don't like it... you can challenge our mad coffee scientist to a fight." The cafe offers novel coffee options, uncaffeinated selections for children and others, as well as a small selection of pastries. Ambiance: "We set this place up to revolve around one word, Offbeat. Our offbeat decor, offbeat espresso on tap, and offbeat vinyl records. Read below if you're interested in that kinda thing. Offbeat Decor: In a nutshell, our decor rebels against the norm. Picture a jungle of indoor plants, quirky art, and seating that makes no sense but somehow works. It's not your average coffee shop vibe--it's an art project that serves coffee. Vinyl Vibes: Music is our heartbeat. Dive into our vinyl room, where every record is a story. Here, coffee and tunes share the stage, offering a sip and sound experience that's entirely Offbeat." What I ordered: A Unicorn ($4) for my little one - a white chocolate steamer with tons of whipped cream and sprinkles, topped with a piece of white chocolate. For me, the warm "Cardi cold foam" and to share: a Turkey Gouda croissant & a cinnamon twist. What I loved: The cardi cold foam was creamy and sweet, and wonderfully warm after a cold walk and play at the neighborhood park. The cinnamon twist was a bit tough, and the turkey gouda cold and boring. The little one loved the Unicorn and was eager for another right away. Why I loved it: The space is truly offbeat, vibrant, colorful, full of life and with nooks and crannies, rooms and spaces that needed to be explored. Cost: Average read more

Met up with a friend on a recent visit and really enjoyed this business and its location. Simple, great espresso and pastries, everything that it should be and nothing more, Perfect! YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes please visit, it just seems very organic and quiet. LOCATION: Storefront on 12th street but very quiet inside and out. FACILITY: Better than most, not designed to get your money and kick you out, no, rater very inviting with everyone considerate to those working or having conversations. MENU: It is a coffee / espresso shop and menu is appropriately designed to accommodate those expectations. FOOD PREP: Nicely done, drinks and pastries delivered to our table. FOOD QUALITY: Espresso pull was well done, smoother good roasting and flavor. Not sure if they make the pasties but I have no problem enjoying a scone. WAITSTAFF: All very nice... maybe all owners but please tip well, This is not Starbucks, way better, but pretty sure not a huge moneymaker so they rely on repeat business. OVERALL VALUE: Very good for the experience. TIP: Side street parking can be a challenge so plan on maybe a short walk on business days... It is Salem so an umbrella is a good idea. read more

Offbeat Coffee - Ordering area at OFFBEAT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Offbeat Coffee is a busy coffee shop on a Sunday morning. There is limited parking in the front and back lot, but there is 2 hour street parking if you have trouble finding a spot. The line was super long when we first got there, but there is lots of seating towards the back, making it not too difficult to find a seat! You can also make reservation for a large group ahead of time, if you're worried about seating. I ordered their brown sugar latte, which was okay. I felt that my latte ratio had more milk than coffee and was not really able to taste the brown sugar syrup. The coffee was good for the price, as $6 for a large latte is rare to see. The coffee menu is simple with espresso on tap or tea. The aesthetic is retro with records and unique paintings surrounded with lots of green plants, making it a cozy spot on a rainy day. read more

Their staff are always the friendliest! Always knowledgeable about their drinks and they are happy to offer recommendations if you're just not sure what to order. Today the back (garage) door was open; the weather is perfect for it! The art is fun to take in, as well as the decorations. I adore the ambiance. It is the perfect place to relax. read more

Dropped by here while getting a hitch put on at U-Haul. Their sister company is Furbish across the street so after giving them a peruse I headed across the street. Very eclectic upon entry. A great variety of snacks. They are getting started so a few offerings aren't available yet like iced tea but I hear that's coming. They have a variety of baked goods and they have a cart outside that offers sandwiches. I think the cart is unrelated but rather a companion of the shop. All in all a really cool venue. I look forward to stopping back again. read more

I've made it a goal to try every cafe in Salem before my kid graduates from WU, and this one is in my top 10 so far. Friendly service and a very welcoming vibe overall. I love the decor and there is a ton of seating all throughout the cafe. My Hibiscus Fizz was really good, and my husband liked his coffee as well. Nice spot to relax, I would definitely return. read more

Offbeat Coffee - Hibiscus Fizz and coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Service was so good! I was warmly greeted upon entering, which was the cherry on top of walking into such a well decorated, aesthetically pleasing, welcoming coffee shop! The place is actually bigger than it seems when you first come in as there are a couple of other sections of seating besides the main area that you first walk into. Coffee wise, I just got a 12oz iced hazelnut latte and honestly was a little disappointed. Not enough coffee flavor, tasted a bit too milky but the barista was very kind when I let her know I wasn't happy with my drink! They have a very simple looking menu, with some seasonal specials, but the more you look they actually have a good variety of drinks other than coffee as well! I tried the apricot rosemary scone from the small selection of bakery items that they had - a little hard, probably would have been better a little warmed up but the flavor was good! I enjoyed the atmosphere here so much that I'm willing to give them another try and order a different coffee next time! read more

The interior has amazing vibes and the cardamom ginger latte was great. Will def go back.

The coffee is great! Because that's important. But also this is the most useful coffee shop for entertainment purposes I have ever been in. If you want a fun atmosphere for a sit down, some time to knock out those emails, a way to enjoy beverages while being an old school audiophile, whatever, this is it. It's a stimulating, welcoming, fun atmosphere made out of all the ideas people who wanted to create something great could come up with. Plus the decor is amazing. And it's not just coffee! Their menu is solid and the people serving it are upbeat and efficient. Go in, check it out, bring your friends. read more

I don't think this coffee shop is well advertised, which makes it a diamond in the rough. I liked the mint cold brew. This is off my beaten path so whenever I'm in the area I plan to stop again should I need a caffeine boost. If you're going to spend money on coffee then it's nice to support local places. read more

The coffee flavor was nice it's very nutty. If you like plain lattes this place is perfect because you really couldn't taste the hazelnut all too much. I let my sister try it and she took the coffee for herself. Anyway, definitely order your drink extra sweet if you wanna taste the flavor. Otherwise really yummy beverage! The ambiance was really nice in there though. Very busy and lots of people. Would come back :) read more

Offbeat Coffee - Iced hazelnut latte with an extra shot and oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Oregon

The vibes are on point here! I was immediately dazzled by the ambiance, with artful decor and cool jazz music. The friendly cashier helped me choose a drink from the unique menu. I settled on a Mint Condition; cold brew with a vanilla-mint cold foam that tasted fresh like real mint and not too sweet. There's lots of seating and a well-curated vinyl record library with listening stations. I'd definitely want to come back and hang out here next time I'm in Salem. read more

Quirky, engaging space with a creative drink menu. Love the murals and feel of the space.

I like trying and reviewing coffee all over. This place has good reviews, and I can see why! The baristas are super friendly, and once you step inside you feel like you're in a fairy tale! (See bathrooms) The coffee is a has a nice taste for those who don't like it pure sweetness. read more

They have wonderful customer service and great coffee! Super cool space. I hadn't gotten my go-to drink there before so when it didn't taste quite right the first time (I hate being this person but my husband told me to ask for a new one) I went back in to ask to get it re-made and they were happy to do it. read more

This is a hidden gem of a coffee shop. It is in a mostly commercial/industrial area a little bit south of the Amtrak station and Willamette University. The coffee is excellent -- always hot and fresh. The pastry selection is extensive and, while a little pricey, top-notch in terms of quality. The decor is funky but clearly a result of significant investment and thought. This place has no sign, however, so it is difficult to find. I worry that it will not succeed if people can't find it, but it seems to be drawing customers. Hopefully they will roll a sign out of some sort so that people can find it. read more

Service and ambiance is wonderful. Fun place to go to. They really need to expand their food choices. There is nothing here to eat that is healthy! read more

What a cute little coffee/tea shop. First time in and I would definitely give back. We were a group of 5 and all had something different. I went with the London fog. Very good. Service was a little backwards but nothing terrible. I waited almost 20 minutes for them to warm up a piece of blueberry cardamom poppy seed bread. It was delicious. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice little spot to relax in on a rainy Saturday afternoon. read more

Nice place and nice people, but it was the slowest service of my life. Astonishingly slow.

In the world of corporate coffee shops, this independent shop is a real breath of fresh air. It has a relaxed vibe, comfy places to sit and most important, great coffee. The folks working there were wonderful and helpful. read more

A charming venue, in a neighborhood that needs classy venues. Although I saw older couples walking in expectantly, I would say it caters strongly to a hipper, younger crowd. As a senior, I did not feel as welcome as in the Urban Grange. Coffee was good, maybe a little slow to fill my order, but patronage was heavy the day I was there. Staff was very civil. read more

Great vibes with a nice vinyl collection that you are able to listen to on personal record players, leather couches, vintage art work, and plenty of seating. Not to mention the drinks being flavorful. A nice treat all around. read more

It's cute inside, but... I will not be coming back here. It was cold inside (uncomfortably so) which is not conducive to relaxing with a cup of coffee. They, contrary to the photos Google, do not offer any sort of breakfast sandwiches or food other than cold pastries. They do not even have a microwave, so don't ask for your pastry heated, that's not an option. Wanting a flavored mocha, I asked about syrup options ... they have two options, vanilla and hazelnut, that's it, two. The staff was friendly but overall I was disappointed. Having a microwave ($60) and a syrup selection ($100) is not unreasonable and would have significantly improved our experience. Perhaps I'll try again in a year and see if things have improved. read more

I took my wife to Offbeat Coffee this afternoon. We had a great time! I had an excellent house coffee and my wife said she had "The best chai I've ever had". We had fun playing a game of Trouble (they have board games available) and we looked at A LOT of vinyl records. As I already said, the drinks were AMAZING! The decor was perfect! We plan on going here once a week for coffee and searching for more vinyl records. read more

Pretty place super aesthetic, but coffee on other hand is pretty bad... maybe I'll try again sometime ??
