Meander Coffee & Matcha
76 Lafayette St, Salem, MA
Crema's Take
“The house-made syrups here elevate both coffee and matcha into genuinely crave-worthy territory—the black sesame latte and raspberry matcha aren't gimmicks but thoughtfully balanced drinks where the secondary flavors actually enhance rather than mask what you're drinking. Operating inside Couch Dog Brewing with a dog-friendly vibe, Meander feels like the kind of place regulars become devoted to, where the owners clearly care about quality and the craft matcha whisking is legitimately excellent. If you want specialty drinks that go beyond standard espresso fare without sacrificing real coffee knowledge, this is absolutely worth the detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Dog friendly.
