Sad to leave 3 stars honestly, but I have to be honest. I've been coming here since 2020, and for…read morethe most part, it's always been great. Their bacon, egg & cheese and sausage, egg & cheese sandwiches are SO good, and their coffee used to be really good too. I would literally take an extra 15-minute commute to work just to stop here. It was also my go-to whenever family visited and I wanted them to have good iced coffee instead of Dunkin' or Starbucks. The 2 stars I'm taking off are because of my recent visits. I went a little over a year without coming here, and both times I was helped by people I didn't recognize. The coffee just isn't the same. All three times, it took me forever to finish my coffee because it just didn't taste right. And NOW, the worst part... there was a fly on my cup lid during my last visit. I absolutely lost it LOL. I didn't even bother going back or calling because at that point, I was convinced it was simply the end of an era for me. It's still a cute little spot in the quieter part of Lynn. They have seating, street parking is usually available, and they sell juices, soda, coffee, sandwiches, muffins, snacks, and even beer. Definitely a nice hangout spot. I truly hope they switch things up soon, especially with the consistency of the drinks. Maybe they changed their coffee? Either way, please for the love of life, make sure there are ZERO bugs anywhere near people's drinks.

It wasn't even on my itinerary, but the café looked so nice that I decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did! The music was really great and created such a nice atmosphere. The service was quick!

I also got a simple plain bagel, but it was so fresh and really good. It paired perfectly with the coffee. Overall, it was such a great way to start the fall season and made my day in Salem even better. Definitely a great little find!

They have a variety of gluten free foods - ALL CLEARLY LABELED! Eggs, bakery pastries, sandwiches, and treats! My two favorites were the butter cake and the blueberry lemon scone - which tasted not "gluten free" and SO GOOD. My husband who is not gluten free also loved this place and had an egg sandwich one day, and some sort of tater tot bowl the second day! The staff was friendly and it was also just a great place to sit and start the day!

It was super easy to order, and I was intrigued by the build-your-own breakfast sandwich. I got a sweetened matcha (hot) paired with a sandwich made with pita bread, scrambled eggs, pepper jelly, and Boursin cheese (a unique option which I thought would add some interesting flavors). The entire meal of food + drink was perfectly filling post-run. Seating isn't ample, but there are options---countertop at the window for people-watching, or cozier seating by the back wall. It's definitely in a central location of Salem and I can see this place being a local favorite!

There was a "surprise" course where you don't know what you'll get. I'm adventurous so went with that. What I didn't know was it just means she'll throw together whatever is leftover in the pot from yesterday and heat it up for you. The food was 90% awful, not fresh, reheated leftovers. Then we were leaving, no desert thanks. She insisted we have desert, cannolis. We tho if he they were comp lol, but when the bill came...there is no bill! She just gives you the total lol. Pretty sure we paid for desert and the awful food. I don't know how this is an over 4 stars.

But as we can't try them all in one visit, we ordered two of the Citrus Blueberry Corn Slices and two Sticky Bun Lattes (iced and hot). Those corn slices I can write home about. Or better yet, post about it on Yelp! They were moist and not crumbly, the blueberries added an extra pop of juicy flavor and paired so well. It was the perfect snack. The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?
