Smokin Bean
2220 Mission St SE, Salem, OR
Crema's Take
“Smokin Bean is earning its solid reputation as Salem's go-to spot for a really solid cappuccino, with baristas who nail the foam-to-espresso ratio that specialty coffee lovers crave. It's the kind of place where you can grab your favorite coffee and a few other essentials without making multiple stops around town, though fair warning—their preset 25% tip option and occasional service inconsistencies suggest you might want to double-check your order before heading out the door. The vibe is convenient and unpretentious, best suited for folks who prioritize quality espresso drinks and efficiency over a polished third-wave experience.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot.

I had high hopes for this place and it's a cute idea but I wish I didn't waste my money. I had first asked for two blended drinks, I had made sure I said the word blended many times but still I got two iced drinks It was so sickenly sweet that neither me and my husband could…
Good stuff! Saved 10 minutes this morning not having to go to 2 locations to get everything I needed. They carry my favorite vapes, have the best coffee in town, and the staff is friendly! Recommended 10/10!
