I would love to give a good review, but unfortunately, have not been able to try them. Everytime i try to go they are either closed or closing for “repairs” I have gone at different times of the day on different days and they always seem to be closed when they should be open for business. Definitely a bummer.

LOVED the drinks and the empanadas.
We purchased the Mago Loko, Strawberry Matcha, Empanadas de carne molida y papas.
The food was very comforting and the salsa was amazing. WE WILL BE RETURNING.

Stopped for coffee and had a delicious cinnamon coffee creation and fresh flavorful empanada. The decorations are so fun! The vibe is super mellow. Definitely fun to go to this small business as opposed to big biz across the street. **thx for having compostable containers**

The look of this place is great. We loved the whole concept and the atmosphere is very attractive. They told us they just opened and their menu is still a work in progress, but they are sailing pretty well given that they just reopened. I'm glad locals invest in their community. This place is beautiful and we are happy you are in Salinas.My granddaughter had the Bliss Latte that came with cotton candy. It was perfectly blended, not at all sweet. He enjoyed it along with his heart-shaped pancakes. I had the café de roca which was AMAZING. I recommend this. We also tried their lavender matcha and it was great. I had mine with soy milk.Overall, I recommend this place. The music in this place reminds me of a cafe in Mexico City. I will be back in the future to try more menu options.
Dietary restrictions: I can't drink milk and having different options is great for me. They have soy, coconut, almond, and oats.
Kid-friendliness: They have drinks for children. My granddaughter loved the place.

Loved the location, decor and service. It is a very inviting place and staff was also so welcoming. There were a few customers at the same time as me and I thought service was still fast enough, for me.I had the Dino Coffee Latte and I give it a 10/10. For any coffee and pistachio lovers THIS is for you! I am definitely returning for this specifically. My husband had the Mocha Latte, he said he would also have it again. Of course, I tried his too and I liked it BUT the Dino Latte was better in my opinion. We had the banana bread and It was good, definitely have it warmed up it was good nice and warm.I have been hearing great things about the empanadas, I plan to go back to have these. I will update my review once I do :)

Karnaval is a beautiful place to go read while listening to great music. I like their coffee very much. I really enjoyed the Dino, cafe de la pot and the empanadas. You definitely have to visit this business when you are here in Salinas.

Love the vibe and the atmosphere at Karnaval. It’s inviting and warm. I adore all of the displays and the color. The neon signs are my favorite in particular.The food is great. The empanadas are amazing in particular. You can’t go wrong with the avocado toast either. The pizza’s are delicious! The drinks have a personality of their own.
We love Karnaval. Our favorite is the avacado toast. Family friendly environment. Cold brew coffee was delicious.
Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for toddlers.

Karnaval 2.0 ( the relaunch) seemed promising. They advertised a smaller menu with exciting drinks.The space is still cute. Colorful and lots to look at.The drinks menu was extensive. They are operating their coffee orders using an at home espresso machine so it does take quite a while to get coffee based drinks.We got the Strawberry matcha. It did not taste like matcha and it only tasted like milk. We also tried one of their “must try” drinks- Bliss Late. It was so sugary and it didn’t even taste like dragon fruit.The space is super small so if more than 5 people are in there at a time it can feel really crowded.Overall I would not return. I understand it’s a new restaurant so you can tell they’re trying to find their footing ( fruit being rinsed on the spot and food being prepared without gloves and no handwashing in between orders ) but I think they would benefit from finding their niche one that goes beyond their decoration.

What's up with those neon signs? Very appropriate for the youth.

Unique spot with friendly local staff bringing colorful, delicious and healthier options to Downtown Salinas.
Vegetarian options: Try The BLAIR. So good! But ask servers for recommendations and substitutions.
Kid-friendliness: They are kid friendly and have a kid drink menu & kid food menu.
