“ Accio, Perfect Morning! If Hermione Granger needed a study spot in Salem, she’d definitely be camped out here with a butterbeer latte (okay, they don’t actually have that, but their locally roasted Salem coffee is basically magic). Just a hop, skip, and a levitation charm from the Grand Hotel, Archive Coffee is what would happen if Diagon Alley opened a coffee shop and decided to do everything right. Rolled in at 7am for their warm scones (WARM! AT 7AM! ) and nearly cried tears of joy. Yesterday’s breakfast burrito adventure was 10/10, but today I went full chaos mode with a chocolate chip rainbow sprinkle scone that looked like a unicorn sneezed on it in the best possible way. No regrets. The coffee? Chef’s kiss Locally roasted right here in Salem, which means it’s fresher than my jokes. We grabbed a bag of their La Bastilla Nicaragua beans to take home because I’m not a quitter and I refuse to drink sad coffee ever again. Fair warning: You will want to move in. I’m currently scouting the corners for available square footage. Muggles and wizards alike: GO HERE. ”
“ Such a beautiful coffee shop!! I’ve been wanting to visit for quite some time and finally got the chance to stop by during a work trip. The breakfast burrito was great, and I loved the iced matcha. Highly recommend! ”
“ I went on vacation to Salem in late June and I can’t stop thinking about the Archive Coffee & Bar! Their Warm and Toasty coffee changed my life and I’m contemplating a trip back just to visit the restaurant again. The environment was chill and it had great food. I really enjoyed this place. ”
“ We really enjoyed this place. I had the vegetarian burger and fries, and it was better than expected for a coffee shop restaurant combo. My food rating is mainly for the drinks since this is ultimately a coffee shop and bar first, and they offer very fun and unique drinks matching the vibe. The whole experience was hugely elevated by the fantastic atmosphere! ”
“ I loved the style and ambience in this bar! High ceilings and spacious with rustic feel and artistic wall decoration. Excellent coffee and delicious breakfast options. Rest of the menu also looked great and a huge array of drinks on offer. Thanks for looking after us so well! ”
