Thr Cherry Bean is a cool little spot on Main St, in oldtown Salinas. They display local artists' artwork on their walls, have a cozy reading corner, and plenty of seating. It is a fairly quiet café perfect for conversing with friends. The menu's got a wide selection of teas which are served chilled or hot. They offer lattes and coffees as well, some inspired by Mexican flavors and drinks common in town. The staff is so-so.
Delicious water process decaf, great pastries, great service...but OMG the smell of Pinsol is horrible! I could smell it on the street and almost didn't walk in. Did the toilette overflow??? Had to take my coffee to go because sitting in that smell was not an option.
I visited only to buy whole beans from them. The person behind the counter was very nice and knowledgeable. I purchased Ethiopia origin and India origin beans. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a whole lot of flavor out of them using my moka pot. I'm not sure if it's the way they store them, but I expected a lot more flavor for the price. The beans I bought were sitting in huge jars, and they weren't air-tight. The bags they put them in don't have a valve...
