The Muffin Shop
126 Washington St, Salem, MA
Crema's Take
“This Salem institution punches way above its modest bakery name with legitimately excellent sandwiches—think properly executed Cubans and turkey Reubens on quality bread—that draw locals back repeatedly alongside solid coffee and genuinely impressive baked goods. The gluten-free options are notably thoughtful, and it's the kind of unpretentious spot where a party of four can each find something different that lands, making it perfect for a casual group lunch rather than a solo coffee run. Fair warning: their popularity means the muffins (their namesake item) sometimes sell out by early afternoon.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I grew up in Marblehead and always loved this place. They have a great selection of food and pretty much everything is very good. It's simple diner food done right, and their baked goods are just fantastic. Bagels, muffins and cookies are all delicious. Everything is also fairly…
Party of 4, each of us was extremely satisfied with our lunch choices of soup , sandwiches, & cookies. We were surprised at the great lunch selections thinking this was only a bakery & coffee. Lots here to enjoy.
It came to us as amusing, that even at 1.15pm, lunch time, the place called the Muffin Shop was out of Muffins. Still it made up by some lovely sandwiches. I opted for a Turkey Reuben sandwich - on wheat bread. My Sandwhich was easy to order, the only question was the choice of…
