16 Best Coffee Shops in Salinas

“I like the Yerba mate tea !!“

“The food was not necessarily to our taste. BUT that's more a matter of preference and not quality. They had a bunch of keto and vegan and vegetarian options overall a good choice if you have dietary restrictions or adhere to a specific dietary “

“Overall, I enjoy the setting and ambiance at the Beerded Bean and will come here to do homework or bring friends and family that are visiting. I like that they have beer on tap, although would love to see some cider’s, kombucha’s and less hoppy beers. When I come in I always get a matcha tea, but shocked that the price is now $7 for a small matcha. And then an extra $1 for alternative milk, so my matcha was $8, plus $1 for tip so $9 total! Yikes! It is their only hot drink that is that much. The rest are around$5.50 which is reasonable. Their Carmel Valley location has matcha that is cheaper. I work in Monterey, and will get matcha’s in Monterey and Pacific Grove all throughout the week, and the most I usually pay for a small matcha is between $4.50-5.50 plus $.50-$1.00 for alternative milk. In fact Cafe Guarani and Captain Stokers, where I frequently visit, has a matcha that is only $4.50, Beerded Bean please consider lowering your Matcha price. I will continue to come here, but will have to change my drink up to a regular teabag, or head down the road to Starbucks for my Matcha, which I really do not want to do. :-(.“

“Todo es saludable Las bebidas frescas Los antojitos Las smoothies También tienen bebidas calientes“

“Winchell's Donut House is my absolute go-to spot whenever I’m craving donuts because, quite simply, they have the best donuts in town. Their selection is always fresh, and the variety they offer is fantastic. From classic glazed donuts to more unique flavors, every donut I've tried there has been consistently delicious. The dough is always soft and fluffy, with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the fillings and toppings are just right, making each bite a real treat.

However, as much as I love their donuts, there's one thing that consistently detracts from the experience: the flies. Every time I visit, I notice an unsettling number of flies buzzing around the store. It’s disappointing because the quality of the donuts is top-notch, but the presence of flies makes the environment less than ideal. I understand that it can be difficult to control, especially in a place where food is constantly on display, but it’s something that really stands out and affects the overall experience.

It’s a shame because Winchell's has so much going for it—the friendly staff, the amazing donuts, and the convenient location—but the flies are a significant drawback. I still go back for the donuts because they’re that good, but I find myself wishing they would take more steps to address the issue. Maybe improved cleanliness practices or better fly control methods could make a difference.

In the end, I highly recommend Winchell's Donut House for anyone looking for delicious donuts, but be aware that the atmosphere might not be the most pleasant due to the flies. I hope they can find a way to resolve this, because without that issue, Winchell’s would easily be the best donut shop around, bar none.“

“Ryan is awesome! Very friendly, kind and professional. He greeted me with a smile and made sure my complicated order was correct. His tone was just beautiful. This is the service I remember from times past. Happy it is making its way back to humanity.“

“Great bagels in a warm cafe setting. All employees are friendly with prompt service. Nice place to meet friends for relaxing conversation , food and coffee“

“Each time I've been to this Starbucks, I've been greeted and as I waited for my drink I noticed that they made sure everyone that walks in and walks out is greeted as well. It's great to see that the staff is in good spirits when getting your morning coffee.“

“my favorite frappuccucio Caramel“

“Just your average Starbucks, with the standard menu and friendly staff.The atmosphere is a bit lacking in that they only offer 3 small tables, with 6 chairs total in the entire shop. So climate controlled seating is very limited.Mobile orders do seem to take quite a while at this particular location.I was once waiting for nearly a half hour, just for a regular cup of drip coffee.Thankfully, I haven't encountered such a long wait time since.Other than that, meh... it's ok.“

“My favorite place! ��“

“The store was on please and staff was pretty cordons with customers“

“This Starbucks location has plenty of seating inside and outside. There's a wall with flyers posted for information about events in the area. The restroom is detached and inside the building's lobby. You'll need to ask the cashier for the code. Service was good and the egg bites and coffee tasted as expected. The interior had nice decorations for the holidays.
