50 Best Coffee Shops near Salida

“Good Starbucks that is in a perfect location in a small town. I didn't know for sure if you were able to order inside. Rumors from around town was that it was going to be a drive thru only store, but I decided to take a small walk down to see for myself. To my surprise I was able to order inside. You can't drink inside but they do have table outside. So, I ordered my drink and walked home. I will be sure to come by more often now that I know you can order inside. It's only a quick walk away.“

“Stop eating the food here guys. Buy the ice cream, sure. Even drink the coffee, but the food is utter trash. Just trust me. It's not the people or either. Nothing against you guys, but the food is hardly food. I do like the play place thouhh so 5stars for atmosphere.

Also the fries are trash. Burger King, Wendy's or literally any Mexican restaurant blows them out of the water. Alternatively buy a 10lb bag of potatoes for and some peanut oil and make them yourself. Takes just a few minutes to have perfect golden crunchy fries you can be proud of.“

“After recently moving from the Bay Area, I was on the hunt for a new local coffee spot to try. One Monday morning at 6 am, I walked into the Ripon Coffee Shop to find it bustling with early risers enjoying each other's company over their coffees. I was warmly greeted by the owner, a kind gentleman behind the counter. When I asked his recommendation for someone who typically orders a caramel macchiato with extra shots, he assured me they could accommodate that order.

My son and I waited for our drinks in the shop's peaceful, calming atmosphere. When my coffee was ready, I was delighted to see it adorned with a sticker that read "God is our present help in time of need" - a refreshing touch that made me feel right at home. The caramel macchiato was the best I'd ever tasted, and my son raved about his bagel with the perfect amount of cream cheese.

I've returned to the Ripon Coffee Shop twice since, each time receiving the same wonderful experience and excellent customer service from the staff. I'll be sure to recommend this hidden gem to all my family and friends.“

“This place is literally a hole in the wall/office with its unique vibe and coffee ☕️ style, separating themselves from the status quo. Drinks meet their caffineated expectations ?. Small mix up on order, but quickly rectified and went over and beyond to accommodate. Thank you! ? My daughter had the Cotton Candy Latte, and it actually had real fair style cotton candy ? wow! I ordered Churro Cheesecake Latte, and it was also phenomenal. New gem of gems, definitely will continue to visit on going.“

“Best place hang with friends or family“

“Austin has the best Cappuccino“

“Sooo Delicious and good size portions!! worth the drive!!“

“The best espresso in Modesto! I’m in town visiting from Maryland and always make a point to visit the local coffee shops when traveling. I grind my own beans and make espresso at home, so it was a delight to find a coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Keep up the good work ! And yes, I bought some beans and I’m looking forward to add them to my rotation.“

“Lots of food!!!! Very good food as well“

“Came and got a coffee ☕ because apparently downtown Modesto doesn't really have much going on at 9am on a Sunday morning ? but if it didn't, we wouldn't have found this cool little spot. Has a nice upper deck to hang out and do whatever on (including sleep) I assume the owner or manager are Star Wars fans. Live long and prosper ?“

“bye bye Starbucks. I have now found my perfect coffee place after Barnes and Noble lost theirs. it's really nice and welcoming“

“Second time I've gone to this location whilst also doing things at the DMV. I always get the Bue coffee while it's hot and it never misses ?️‼️ it's never too sweet or bitter and it always has a perfect amount of almond milk (allergic to regular milk). Overall, this place has amazing coffee!! (As for the girls I'm really sorry but I never pay attention because I'm always too hyped for the coffee ??)

Dietary restrictions: Dairy.“

“My favorite coffee for the last 20 years!!“

“Stopped in to grab a hot white mocha coffee while attending the Ceres Street fair event. The owner is very sweet n friendly. The white mocha beats Starbucks anyday of the week. Delicious flavor and mixed up perfect. Come on in and get the best cup of coffee around“

“There is no better, sweeter fruit. Technically an apricot but more like a magic delight. A bit like a mango sweet flesh without the pine notes. At their peak a satisfying firm fruit, a perfect bite. Find it, by any means and enjoy.“

“Chef is skilled and creative!“

“Just discovered The Queen Bean Coffee House today. It reminded me a lot of the beloved coffee houses I used to haunt in Modesto in my youth. The BLT (ordered mine without tomato) and turkey foccacia sandwiches were made with pure love and deliciousness. The pumpkin spice latte and hot chocolate were delectable, too. It was the perfect place to stop, pause, grab a bite, and begin reading our books after a bountiful trip to the library. ❤️“

“What can I say? Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

My husband and I went there and we were truly enjoyed the food and I have been back twice since and we will be going back at third time and I am telling all my friends about this small little hole in the wall. That’s excellent food. ♥️“

“Tommy is awesome. He has excellent customer service skills.“

“Jaylen is the most amazing worker ever!!! Everytime I come to get my coffee being able to interact and see his smile seriously brightens my day! This is my favorite Starbucks to go to, he should get a freaking raise, his work ethic is phenomenal!“

“These employees, especially Cody, an experienced Barista who made me an excellent Iced White Mocha. Cody and his co-workers seem like what Starbucks of old, a fun atmosphere for community. Thanks employees! ?

Kid-friendliness: They are awesome! Use this a model store. Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?“

“My favorite coffee for the last 20 years!!“

“This is Modesto's best place for a sandwich...hands down the food is always very fresh and never disappoints. Jordi and his family that own the place are always so welcoming and friendly. The art around the restaurant is great to enjoy. To call this place a sandwich place is such an understatement. The sandwiches are so far above any other sandwiches in town. Go...you will not be disappointed.“

“Great job! Again purchased product for a work event, we needed large quantities of product. They were busier than usual, It was a promotional day for them. However they made sure we were taken care of and received what we needed on short notice. They even helped bring it to the car! Awesome customer service team! I observed great interaction with other customers as well!“

“Is always the nicest Barista's“

“great service, friendly employees, clean store !“

“Very fast!!!���friendly and efficient ������“

“This particular dutch bros was a little busy, but they still took their time making sure they got my order correct. Even after we paid and were headed up to the window, an employee came out and doube checked my order (sugar-free white mocha) to make some suggestions to help with the sugar-free part. He suggested half & half with sugar free chocolate syrup for the base instead of the chocolate milk they usually use. It was delicious!

Dietary restrictions: I always order my drink sugar-free...as much as possible anyway... and they were very helpful in making suggestions to bring the sugar content down even more. As a diabetic, this was greatly appreciated!“

“Incredible location, i’m here often due to working nearby. They’re always quick and friendly even in the most busy of times. Highly recommended, best location in modesto easily!

Parking: Small on site parking lot, good luck finding a spot.“

“A must try in Modesto! Their shaved ice is so smooth and always delicious. They have amazing flavors. We come for their shaved ice, but they have other items like kettle corn and iced coffee. It's such a cute place and the staff is friendly. The perfect hangout spot on a hot summer day“

“Always loved coming here. They have some of the best espresso around and the girls are always super sweet and fun to chat with while you wait for your drinks! Will always recommend bottoms up to anyone looking for a place that isn't Starbucks“

“Baristas are bomb!! Treat them with respect, tip them and compliment. The cool ones will allow photos with them. I love this place!“

“A huge kudos to Sierra at the McHenry Dutch. She was so kind and friendly. I typically order the same drink every single time, but decided to order a diffrent refreshing rebel drink. I asked her to he creative and she was successful it making a drink that was delicious. It so reminded me of a slurpee without the calories. A big thank you to Sierra!!“

“I just went in with my boyfriend for the first time today because I wanted popcorn chicken with my boba. Surprisingly there isn't many tea shops that offer popcorn chicken (that I know of) and I really have to say I love their milk teas. Their snacks are really good I had the popcorn chicken and they give you a lot for I think maybe 6 or 7 bucks it could be a snack for 3 people.

Parking: there are parking in front of the shop as well as plenty of parking in the plaza parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: there is a ramp on the sidewalk of the plaza's.“

“I visited this cafe today. I was impressed with the service. Cesar made great recommendations and even checked in with us after to see how everything was. Great service and, most importantly, great coffee and pastries. I loved their coffee cake.“

“This Donut shop is Bombbayyy all the way,great Service,and fresh yummy donuts,cafe fresco tambian, servicio recomondado.!!! Great community Hall for all the OGEeZ,to hollaat each othaaa. .good work.“

“This team here is always very attentive. No matter who walks through the door, they always say Welcome In!! It gets really busy here so be patient...

Vegetarian options: There are several options you can choose from.

Kid-friendliness: Now he's walking to see many level of ages of kids from little ones to high schoolers

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp here“

“When visiting from out of state, Quickly is always on our "must have" list. We were overjoyed to see a location in Manteca, without having to drive into the Bay Area for our favorite boba and popcorn chicken. The staff was kind, the location was clean, and everything tasted just as we remembered. We've tried many different boba stores across the country over the years but I'll say, there is absolutely nothing like Quickly.“

“I definitely recommend it

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan friendly foods and drinks

Parking: It's a good parking lot but it is kinda hard to find spots

Kid-friendliness: It is a good place to get a snack or a drink for your children“

“I’ve been coming to Teaspoon since their soft launch in March, and out of every boba place in Modesto (yes, I’ve had them all) they are by far the best. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are always friendly, and the drinks are tasty and fairly priced. It’s become the only place I’ll go for boba locally.

“Been going to Valley Donuts since they opened (over 25 years). The donuts and other baked goods are delicious. Good quality coffee and great blended drinks. This is a family ran and owned business. The owners are always super nice and the service is great.“

“Ali is the man, he serves great drinks from coffee to smoothies to teas all with a huge smile on his face. Hes been here for almost 15 years and loves it everyday. He takes great care of his customers and is well known all over the hospital. You can also find snacks here too like chips breakfast pastries etc. You come see Ali he'll take great care of you personally.“

“Good food with good service“

“My experience at Dutch Bros Coffee was nothing short of amazing. I ordered a large blended Picture Perfect Banana Bread, and it was truly the best drink on the menu. The flavors were perfect, and it did not disappoint.What really stood out to me was the exceptional customer service. The girl taking my order was incredibly friendly and genuinely interested in how my day was going. When I mentioned that I was having a terrible day and needed a pick-me-up, she surprised me by saying that my drink was on the house. I was truly touched by her kindness and generosity.This level of customer service is what sets Dutch Bros Coffee apart. They truly live up to their name by being the best "bro" and creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for their customers. I highly recommend Dutch Bros Coffee for not only their delicious drinks but also for their exceptional customer service.“

“Love this place. When im feeling low energy, sore from a workout, or even hungover there is a drink for me. Tonya is super helpful and friendly. The store is super clean and spacious. The protein coffee is fantastic. Would definately reccomend to everyone who can make it“

“This was my first time in this particular store.It is a newer location.It was very clean.For some reason I feel the new Starbucks they are building are not as cozy as the old ones for visiting or working.The food was good the drinks were great and the young lady that served us was very pleasant and made us laugh and that was worth the visit.“

“**EDIT** It appears they took care of the issue.

I love the people here, not just the employees because they're absolutely wonderful, but the customers are friendly here too. Many other Starbuck's locations, the customers have an heir of entitlement to them, like they're secretly owners and shot callers, and certain people don't belong there. This place is different. In fact, too much so. I come here almost daily as I live alone in Modesto with no family and friends for several hundred miles, if not thousands. My only issue is that this Starbucks allows this one homeless guy to practically live there. He's there evrey time I am and he has a smelly dog with fleas. I'm not saying he isn't nice and that his dog is unfriendly. I'm saying the place smells like dog and the dog has fleas and I feel uncomfortable with my food exposed. He cleans his dishes and dog bowls at the sinks where the restrooms are located, and he takes up an entire corner with his dog. I feel badly for him, and I do understand that Starbuck's caught a lot of flack for discriminating against black people and homeless people in the past, so they have to be really careful, but there has to be some degree of what they allow. I used to drive Paratransit in upstate NY, and we had a blind couple that brought their two dogs. It was a small process, but we had to stop letting them ride due to clenliness and the smell/inconvenience it caused others. They left the entire shuttle covered in hair and they had fecal matter on their clothes, which would be left on the seats. Imagine the smell. They couldn't return as passengers until they took care of the problem. They did, and in a couple of months, they were back. We were all happy. There has to be a shelter he can go to or maybe he can hang out at the library when they're open. I do understand there aren't a lot of solutions, but living in Starbuck's during business hours isn't one of them. I spend at least 2 to 4 hours there about 4 to 5 days out of each week, but I'm not bathing and doing dishes in the restroom sinks and I don't have the entire lounge area smelling like dog. I had to use the restroom so badly once, I went, and the smell of dog was just too pungent, so I just packed up my electronics and left, as I didn't want that smell sticking to my clothes. I don't have a problem with the homeless. There are about 4 others that are there too, but they don't treat it lie their persona home either. This guy would spray a half can of suntan spray and fog up the entire lounge. They did put a stop to that though. I know people need comfort pets. I would like one myself, but there has to be something that can be done or somewhere this guy can go. I truly feel badly for him, but part of it is he doesn't care what anyone else thinks or that he's imposing. Even the person I believe is the manager seems to be upset about the situation and not being able to do anything about it.“

“i just wanted to say thank you to the cashier and staff that remade my drinks today. I ordered some drinks that were not the best and when i asked if they could fix them they did without hesitation! Thank you for doing so without attitude and fast!! This is my fav location and will continue to be! <3“
