Happy to find a local small business to support. Ordered a simple iced coffee paired with a cheddar jalapeño bagel. Bagel was the BEST I've ever had. Great spice, and the cold cream cheese that is served on the side was its perfect companion. Can't wait to explore the menu more. read more

This is an aggressively overpriced, gimmick-driven operation that prioritizes social-media optics over competence, safety, or coffee quality. The entire setup feels careless and amateurish, from the chaotic workflow to the lack of basic crowd and traffic control. The parking situation is not just inconvenient--it's unsafe. With no barriers, no clear flow, and vehicles cutting through pedestrian areas, it's shocking that no serious incident has occurred yet. Operational standards are poor. Sanitation practices are questionable, including uncovered ice being transported from outdoor areas after being placed on the ground. That alone should concern anyone paying premium prices. The drinks themselves are little more than sugar delivery systems with a token splash of espresso. Flavor is buried under syrups and sweeteners, masking what appears to be low-quality coffee. Nothing here feels original; it's a collection of copied concepts executed badly. Service is slow, the product is inconsistent, and the pricing is unjustifiable. This isn't a serious coffee shop--it's a novelty stand selling sugar and spectacle at inflated prices. Better coffee, faster service, and safer conditions can be found almost anywhere else, for far less money. read more

Some of the best coffee in the area. It's always crowded but worth the wait. Wishing them nothing but the best!

Plenty of parking in the front and side of the location. The line on the weekends are obviously normally a longer wait than weekdays. If you are in a rush, I definitely recommend ordering ahead. I love their flavor options and monthly specials. Their drinks are always delicious and on point. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend as a must top! I love about 30 minutes away and try to stop by as frequently as possible. It's worth the drive. read more

Wicked Southern Coffee - Hours, menu and specials - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salem, Connecticut

We took a drive to check out Wicked Southern Coffee today. It was not super far from 395. The business is a take out window, so don't go expecting to sit inside if the weather isn't great. The patio set up was super cute. They did a nice job with it. I ordered a s'mores latte and a Caribbean Coconut one. To be honest I found the flavor kind of weak, I was expecting more from the description. The amount of ice was perfect, they had a good coffee to ice ratio. I didn't like that the prices were not listed. I was kinda surprised when I checkout and it was $24 for two coffees. When I got coffee at a different place last week it was $28 for 3 coffees and a muffin. My other complaint is customers before and after me were offered punch cards to come back and after so many purchases redeem a free coffee. My sister and I made separate transactions and while we were waiting it seemed like we were the only two people that were not offered this card. All in all the coffee was ok, but it was pricey and I wasn't offered the same thing as other customers. I can't say I would rush back or go out of my way to recommend it to anyone else. read more

I saw the bucket on instagram and knew I had to check it out. What a cute little coffee place, you order at the window and there's plenty of seating. Either on the front patio or over at the picnic tables to the left. I got a coconut iced latte and it was perfection! It wasn't too sweet- which can sometimes be a problem when you get a flavored latte. It was a smooth coffee flavor with just a hint of coconut almost as an after taste- it was PERFECT! I also got the Belgium waffles which were incredible. I wanted to check out the egg bites but they were sold out. And despite it being 30 minutes before closing the baristas were amazing, accommodating, and so friendly! I will definitely go back! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

I went to their food truck at the Colchester Farmers Market! While the line is normally 10 people deep, I found it with only 2 people and tried it with my standard tester coffee, an Iced Mocha w/ Oat Milk. The Staff were polite, the truck is cute, but when I tasted the drink, it was a bit sweet which stuck through the creaminess. Not sure if they added extra sugar or what, but overall drinkable and good. read more

I'd first seen Wicked Southern Coffee on my Instagram feed weeks ago and several times since. The algorithm knows I need coffee. I wasn't sure it where it was, but it made an impression on me because it seemed like a small business that cared about service and had good looking drinks. I was planning to be at Fox Farm Brewing and some other area places and I saw that WSC was nearby. I stopped by. I met the owner Kaylee who was very nice. She took my order from an ice cream shop style window. I didn't notice inside seating, but people were sitting outside in various spots. Kaylee was helpful in answering my questions about the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. It's early for pumpkin seasoning for me, but I went with it. It was very good. Smooth. Not too much cream. The pumpkin seasoning was appropriate. They had a steady flow of business and customers seemed to connect with the business. I'm not sure who their roaster is, but they were selling a bag of Espresso beans from a Florida roaster I didn't know. I'd definitely return. 4.5 Stars read more

I wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. It was super cute from the outside; just a simple barn walk up window. We waited for maybe 10 minutes, and saw some delicious looking coffees on their specials board, so I decided to try 2 of them, one for now and one for tomorrow. I ordered the s'mores and the Caribbean coconut, and a Belgian waffle and my interaction was just plain odd. When she was reading my order back to me she messed up one of my coffees saying I wanted a different flavor, so I politely said "sorry that's not supposed to be fluffanutter, I'd like the smores please!" And she rolled her eyes and said "well you said fluffanutter when you ordered, but I'll go ahead change it" (she had not even made the coffee yet, just reading back my order so idk why it put her out so much). My sister heard the whole interaction and concurred that I didn't say fluffanutter as I have a nut allergy... but I digress. Neither my sister or I received punch cards but they offered them to everyone else who ordered, and I never got my waffle. The line was too long and honestly didn't want to interact with her again so we left. The coffee was okay, the Caribbean coconut tasted like someone put coconut flakes in coffee and that was all. Same for the smores, it really only tasted like someone threw graham crackers on top. The coffee itself was a little weak but my sisters tasted better (big coffee drinker here even though I can only have decaf, I think they might not have had enough grounds in the decaf bc hers tasted better) Overall I wouldn't drive out of my way for this coffee shop but I would I stop by if I was just passing through and there was no line. read more

The moment you exit your car, the aroma of great coffee hits you. The very pleasant sensation is further enhanced after your first sip of that DELICIOUS black coffee (with nothing to detract from the coffee taste), when the smile you get lasts throughout the morning. The staff is always welcoming, pleasant and cheerful. I, for one, am happy you're here since I pass the business every day going to work. Frank K. read more

Best coffee in Eastern CT!!! So many new flavors they make, amazing customer service & such a cute spot.

I drive 20 minutes each way multiple times a week because that's the choke hold Wicked Southern Coffee has on me. I used to be a Starbucks die hard but now it's all about the WSC. Service is fast no matter how long the line, and the beautiful natural grounds are the perfect place to enjoy your cup of deliciousness. read more

Best hidden gem coffee spot! Quaint little rocking chairs on the porch to enjoy your hand crafted beverage of choice!

I found this coffee shop randomly driving through town on my way to work an event. It has a really refreshing rustic and country vibe along with high-quality food and coffee. I got one of the seasonal lattes, the Maple Coconut iced latte. It was the perfect combination of summer and fall and made expertly with just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. I also ended up getting a cute, reusable bag that says, "Weekends. Coffee. And Dogs." And an apple cider donut. All the autumn feels The barista was friendly and skilled. A great experience. I'll be back on my next trip down this way! read more

Ok, so I live pretty close. Went here last winter-ish time (?) when they were in a horse trailer. Gonna be honest, mind wasn't blown. Drove by last week and saw that they moved into the building. This made me happy, as I'm all for small business, and thought being in the building would be a drawing point for them. So, my son and his fiance are home for the weekend. We decided to get coffee. All the way to Starbucks in Norwich, or Dunkin in Salem. As I pondered, I thought of Wicked Southern. 4 minute drive!! Off we went. Happy to see quite a few people in line, at the tables, and a really nice menu. I got some summer iced coffee drink with honey, cinnamon, and soy milk. DELICIOUS!!! Even gave my husband a taste (nonono soy milk for him! - didn't tell him), and he liked it. The "kids" loved theirs too. I was offered a frequent shopper card, and mentioned that I had only been to the trailer once. THRILLED to hear that they still use the trailer for events!!! The kids immediately started talking about a sober wedding with a coffee trailer, and the lovely girl waiting on us said she had a sober wedding too! They will definitely be looking into that for their wedding. Girls are very nice, good coffee, CLOSE TO MY HOUSE (!). Wrap-up: My coffee card will be filled pretty quickly!! read more
