Brew Box on Essex
131-2 Essex St, Salem, MA
Crema's Take
“Brew Box nails creative seasonal drinks like their brown butter and sage pumpkin latte, and their made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and burritos are executed with real care—the tomato jam alone makes them worth seeking out. It's a tiny counter operation with no seating, so expect to grab and go, but the friendly staff and thoughtfully curated menu make it feel less like a quick pit stop and more like a deliberate destination on your Salem morning.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

If you have one morning in Salem to grab breakfast, come here. The menu is small, but that isn't bad because what's on it is executed well. I don't have to ask if everything is house-made because you can tell it is. We got egg/cheddar biscuit sandwiches. The biscuit was fluffy,…
