Ike Box

“Cool building, great coffee, outstanding service and an overall chill vibe.”

I fell in love with this place the moment I walked in. At the time I had no idea the building was a former mausoleum (funeral home), but the architecture makes complete sense once you know the history. The stained glass windows create soft, unusual lighting that makes the giant open interior feel simultaneously cozy and dramatic. Not manufactured character. Actual history and lived-in community energy. Any place with recognizable regulars is a good sign. IKE Box has them. I've attended Recovery Dharma meetings here pre-COVID and now I convene my LifeRing Secular Recovery meeting here every M

It's a very layed-back place. Their coffee is delicious, and they carry pastries and cookies-- some gluten-free!! They're mostly a coffee place. They don't serve "full meals" like breakfast or lunch. The parking is also metered by the hour.

Pretty darn tasty breakfast sandwiches and pastries! Parking was difficult for a Saturday morning but worth the circling. We stopped by en route down the coast, and it had a local vibe with really cool old town theater decor. Service was a bit slow but we weren’t in a rush, just hungry.

Charming and beautiful cafe in downtown Salem. It seems like a repurposed library of sorts but they have made excellent use of this space. There’s plenty of natural lighting during the day. This place really has a nice vibe and reminds me of a college building. Excellent spot for remote work, studying, writing or whatever you are into. The food is also surprising good. I got a mocha and sandwich, they were very well prepared. Highly recommend visiting this place in the morning time
