Crema's Take
“West Salem Public House has earned its reputation as a Winston-Salem institution with genuinely warm hospitality and drinks that keep people coming back for years—their cubanos and spiced brown sugar lattes are local favorites that hit just right. Whether you're settling in for a few hours of work, meeting a friend, or bringing the whole family (toddlers included), the cozy, elevated-yet-laid-back atmosphere makes everyone feel at home, and the friendly staff seem to know exactly what kind of day you're having. With solid pastries, reliable wifi, and that perfect blend of community gathering spot and focused work space, it's the kind of place where you understand why people have been loyal regulars for years.”

West Salem Public House is truly a Winston staple! My husband and I have been coming here for years and absolutely feel at home with every visit. Their cubanos are our favorite! :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Winston-Salem Public House is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfectly laid-back while still feeling elevated. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. The coffee is thoughtfully prepared, flavorful, and consistently hits the mark. Everything feels fresh and well-crafted, and the menu has something for everyone. Pair that with a solid pastry selection and you’ve got a place that’s perfect for casual dinners, meeting friends, or even a special night out. What really sets this place apart is the overall vibe: great service, great coffee, and a space that makes you want to stay awhile. Winston-Salem Public House is easily one of my favorite spots in the area, and I’ll absolutely keep coming back. Highly recommend!
It had been a while since we’d been in (couple years 😅) but even now that we have a toddler, WSPH is a great place to hang out and get some work done. Cozy, friendly staff, great assortment of baked goods (the poptart bar was phenomenal), plenty of space, well designed, diverse menu, etc. definitely going to be a part of my local spots to hang out during the day!
My favorite coffee shop in Winston-Salem (and trust me - I have been to them all)! The spiced brown sugar latte is the perfect balance of rich espresso and warm, subtly sweet syrup - delicious hot or iced. The staff is friendly and welcoming, whether you stop by in the morning or at night, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting - perfect for reading, studying, or simply enjoying a coffee or glass of wine. They are always happy to see our Great Pyrenees, inside or out. Parking is easy, and the outdoor seating is beautiful - especially in the fall. Truly one of the best coffee spots in town! 🤍
This little coffee shop is so nice! It used to be called say so, and was a little shining light in Winston even during Covid times. They used to have chickens and a little garden :) Beautiful outdoor area to enjoy your coffee, study, chat or have Bible studies with a friend. They still make amazing coffee! With beautiful designs! They also sell hatchet coffee from Boone here, overall love to come in the morning for the coffee and outdoor experience
