Archive Coffee & Bar
102 Liberty Street NE, Salem, OR
Crema's Take
“Archive Coffee & Bar is a rustic-hip sanctuary with soaring ceilings and artistic flair that feels equally suited for lingering study sessions or casual meetups. Their espresso program shines with meticulously crafted drinks like their Italian-style macchiato, while their gluten-free pastries (especially the cinnamon bun cookie) and full breakfast menu prove they care about every guest's needs. The low-key energy and thoughtful design make it the kind of place where you'll want to stay all day, whether you're diving into specialty signature drinks or just grabbing a perfectly pulled shot.”

A really great spot with gluten free options and great drinks! Great atmosphere and perfect to hang out with a group, they're open all day. My favorite is the GF cinnamon bun cookie, I've gotten it every time!
Yes, place has ambience and character in spades! The decor is very rustic very hip and cool. Vibe is low-key energy. The coffee and drinks are great overall. The in a nutshell coffee drink was not very nutty, but above average. The prices are reasonable, and the service is above average. It’s a great place to hang out or to meet people. The only downside is the very limited parking in downtown Salem.
Just stopped in for a coffee, and it was fantastic. I ordered an Italian-style macchiato—perfectly made. The vibe is great, with stylish décor and friendly staff. The bar is well stocked with all the favorites. I’ll definitely be back!
Accio, Perfect Morning! If Hermione Granger needed a study spot in Salem, she’d definitely be camped out here with a butterbeer latte (okay, they don’t actually have that, but their locally roasted Salem coffee is basically magic). Just a hop, skip, and a levitation charm from the Grand Hotel, Archive Coffee is what would happen if Diagon Alley opened a coffee shop and decided to do everything right. Rolled in at 7am for their warm scones (WARM! AT 7AM! ❤️) and nearly cried tears of joy. Yesterday’s breakfast burrito adventure was 10/10, but today I went full chaos mode with a chocolate chip rainbow sprinkle scone that looked like a unicorn sneezed on it in the best possible way. No regrets. The coffee? Chef’s kiss Locally roasted right here in Salem, which means it’s fresher than my jokes. We grabbed a bag of their La Bastilla Nicaragua beans to take home because I’m not a quitter and I refuse to drink sad coffee ever again. Fair warning: You will want to move in. I’m currently scouting the corners for available square footage. Muggles and wizards alike: GO HERE. 🪄☕🌈
I loved the style and ambience in this bar! High ceilings and spacious with rustic feel and artistic wall decoration. Excellent coffee and delicious breakfast options. Rest of the menu also looked great and a huge array of drinks on offer. Thanks for looking after us so well!
