Blackcraft Coffee
253 Essex St, Salem, MA
Crema's Take
“Blackcraft's signature creative drinks like the Borah's Caramel Apple Brew are genuinely excellent and worth seeking out, even if the tiny shop's lack of seating means you'll be drinking on the go or standing room only. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making up for a limited food menu and the occasional reservation requirement during peak times. Skip it if you need a cozy spot to linger, but if you're after a memorable specialty drink in Salem's witch-themed atmosphere, this is the real deal.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot.

As others have mentioned, worth going but not really worth a reservation. The reason is there’s no seating and it’s small not that it’s an exclusive place to be. So the lines/reservations are what allow them to actually make your order. We got the “SpellBound Latte” which was…
If you want to wait in line and reserve a spot to get coffee here, don’t do it cause the coffee is soooo much better than any other coffee spot. Coffee here was mid at best. Tastes just like any coffee you would get at any local cafe. But the vibes here are pretty cool. Cool…
