Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Salem, this community-focused spot serves seriously good coffee and pastries at prices that feel almost too fair, creating the kind of place where you can linger for hours without guilt. Beyond the excellent scones and smoothies, there's a genuine heart here—they're deeply invested in the local community, offering seasonal produce, homemade crafts, and a quiet, welcoming atmosphere that draws people back again and again. Whether you're nursing a laptop or just need a peaceful corner with a solid cup, this hidden gem proves that specialty coffee doesn't require pretension or premium pricing.”

Great coffee that was super cheap. Had a tasty bagel and a nice scone. Definitely recommend, seems like a hidden gem.
This place is a gem. I can't believe this is my first experience with this place. The things they are doing for the young people in this community are truly inspiring. They even sell products that the youth make to help pay restitution while learning a wonderful skill. If you are looking for a place to contribute to the well-being of our youth in the community, please consider supporting this establishment. Fyi, food was fast. the service was great 👍
While passing through town we needed a quiet spot to sit for a quick snack and a cup of coffee. This was the perfect spot, the coffee wasn't anything fancy but it tasted good, and so did the pastries, the people behind the counter were very friendly as well.
Very well run. They had seasonal vegetables for purchase. The smooties are amazing for the budget price. The cobb salad was meticulously prepared and probably had the absolute best ranch dressing I've had in a while. Check out their selection of hand made wood products. In the mood for natural edge wood planks, this is the place to go.
I had a huge pile of styrofoam, and was told by a friend to take it here. I'm so glad I did! The heart that is in this place is wonderful. Drive thru coffee, lots of food options, homemade crafts for your house, or yard....just so much good stuff!
