Overall Rating- 3 Stars- Passing
Reflections
With an indy, edgy vibe, this small coffeeshop in the central walking area of Salem is convenient, but unlikely to become a favorite of mine. The music is very eclectic, leaning toward punk, techno, and indy rock.
Food Favorites & Thoughts
Front Street Coffeehouse has a very limited menu, so think of this as a true coffeehouse experience, with some smoothies & juices thrown in (wheatgrass included). The menu won’t be bringing me back many times, but for a quiet alternative to Gulu-Gulu on busy evenings it might do the trick.

The Essentials
- Free Wireless– Yes, ask for the password for “FSC” network
- Available power outlets– Yes (but not by the brick wall)
- Chair & Table situation- Primarily table & chair sets (chairs remind me of what you might have used in high school); only two arm chairs and a small settee. (Capacity- Medium ~30 max)
Bonuses
- Ambiance & Energy- artsy, edgy, classic “punk” coffeehouse, strangely quiet for the Saturday evening I visited, not open late.
- Service- good
- Bathrooms- only one VERY small WC… Feels like a closet although they tried to jazz it up with color and art.
- Parking/Transport- Salem street parking, walking distance to Salem Commuter Rail Station
My Joys
- Available Views?- of Salem’s shopping streets
- Veggie-friendly options- limited (salad & one sandwich)
- Cozy features- brick wall… If you can call that cozy
- Outdoor Seating- Not theirs, but there are 3-4 tables at the neighboring ice cream parlor that might have potential.
