Crema's Take

Spotted Salamander is a family-friendly spot where the kitchen goes the extra mile, crafting homemade marshmallows for their hot chocolate and customizing meals for guests without hesitation. The coffee itself draws attention—their macchiatos are worth studying if you want to see the drink done right—and they balance traditional espresso drinks with creative specialty offerings in a relaxed, slow-sit environment. Service here is genuinely warm and attentive when you visit, making it a welcoming neighborhood gathering place on Main Street.

Owners need to take note., this experience is not SS worthy Early Saturday , almost empty, but long wait to be served and coffee to arrive .Check out what a machiato should be !Two people ahead of me walked out and returned to patio with food/ coffee from elsewhere. Asked to repeat order twice and it still came out wrong. Asked if scones fresh, was told, .. “yes , yesterday “!!! Scone was stale , dry and frozen in the middle . Patio full of non SS customers .

The service staff was friendly and helpful. They made my child a special sandwich due to the fact they don’t really have a kids menu. It was yummy and cheap. Great coffees too.

Staff member was not welcoming at all. When I walked in the look she gave me was as if I had done some heinous act. Decided to order a Iced Americano and she gave me a Double shot Latte. She needs more training or why run a cafe that nobody wants to visit??

I, along with 2 co-workers, visited your Main Street location around 8:14am on 2.25.25. Upon arrival, the cashier did not greet any of us and acted annoyed that we were in the establishment. During the visit, we asked about two (2) familiar employees that we have interacted with in the past and she gave a very rude and dismissive response. After one of my co-workers placed her order for your famous dirty grits using cash, this rude cashier placed her change on the counter. Our practice has utilized your establishment for catering orders in the past and have patronized this business on various occasions and even had the opportunity to meet the owner while he was assisting at the Main Street location. This is certainly not the behavior anyone should/would expect from an employee, particularly at a cafe where our prior customer service experiences have been superb. To be frank, this cashier needs to be re-trained on how to interact with customers.
