The coffee is very good. I like it served piping hot. If it given to me not piping hot that it practically scalds my tongue then I give the coffee shop an automatic "F" for flunky barista. The barista is still yelling at the paying customers. I was yelled at last week. Maybe the barista needs to get own hearing check and may need a hearing aid? The owner could try purchase a roll of sticky grey 3 inch wide tape that is so sticky it will stay in place until the tape is removed as a form of behavior modification. The barista was incredibly rude and quite nasty tempered. I was polite. I wasn't screaming at the barista there at all. I would encourage every patron start the day off teaching the barista a lesson that may change the barista into be a little more appropriate. The barista is to experience a 6 month restriction or the owner to fire the barista outright. The best way, place the barista on restriction and restrict the tips to one copper penny and not any other money, coins or dollars to be the tip. From now on the only tip paid to the barista is just 1 copper penny. The ambiance needs working on inside barrelista coffee house. read more

Came in on a Wednesday morning and tried the June Bug seasonal drink, which was an iced blackberry latte. It was pretty good! I wasn't sure how I'd like the fruit with espresso, but it worked really well. There were chunks of blackberry, and the flavor really came through. They also have a small selection of pastries, but I didn't try any this time. And they sell stickers! Service was okay, not really friendly. read more

Cool vibes and good food. Food: 4/5. I got the honey lavender latte, which was fairly bland to me. I am a huge lavender latte fan so it was a disappointment. The food on the other hand was delightful! I got the Wakin Bacon Panini and I would order it again and again. The bread was the perfect amount of sweet, the bacon crisp, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spice. I absolutely enjoyed every bite. Service: 4/5. The guys in there were kind. It took a bit to get the panini, but worth the wait! Atmosphere: 4/5. The atmosphere is what sets this place apart from other coffee shops. I felt like a character in Westworld while sitting in here. It's got a old western feel and is very cozy. I sat in a cozy little corner at the front and it was a good spot to sit and read while drinking my coffee. For my first time, I was impressed and will be back again! read more

What a GEM!! So glad we found this place. The vibes are welcoming and beyond friendly. Bf ordered an iced black coffee and turkey bagel...I got the Vanilla Martinez Fog and Salmon Bagel with chive cream cheese...DAMN!! That Martinez Fog was the best tea I've had in a long time, and the bagel??? Fuhgettaboutit!!! Both of them together were AMAZING! I'd make the drive all the way out here just to get my fix. And the baristas were so kind, especially B, she has such a cute and bubbly personality! Thank you for the great food and good vibes! read more

Delicious breakfast sandwich! I ordered the wakin bacon breakfast sandwich on dutch crunch bread and let me say I would definitely make the drive over just for this sandwich! I ordered online and it wasn't ready when I got there so I had to wait, but I would say the sandwich was worth it! read more

This place still hits. Years ago I got a sandwich. About a week or so ago I ordered that same sandwich. It's still bomb. I'm a sauce guy and I think what really does it for me is the Spicy Aioli. It's not super spicy but it does have a fun kick. There's lots of flavor that blends well with the Cheddar and Bacon. I wanna try other stuff though. I know the menu isn't the biggest because it is a coffee place at its core. I think it's a chill spot. I'm also really curious about the bar in the back. There's a decent list of cocktails that sound tasty. I really want to bring a board game soon and just hang out here for hours. To be continued for sure. read more

Barrelista Coffee House - Wakin Bacon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Martinez, California

This place is a great little spot to work, hang out, or just get cozy with a coffee and a notebook. The space feels welcoming and comfortable, the kind of café you can easily settle into for a while. I grabbed coffee from States Coffee but wanted something to eat, and this spot was around the clerk. The avocado toast did not disappoint. I added egg and bacon, which turned it into a full and satisfying meal. The sprouts were plentiful, and the sauce was really flavorful. One half was so filling that I saved the second half for lunch. I was originally only going to order a half since they sell the avocado toast by half or full. The cashier mentioned that the full was only three dollars more, so it was the better deal. I am really glad I took that recommendation. Overall, a solid coffee shop with good food, a cozy vibe, and a space that makes you want to stay awhile. I would definitely come back. read more

5 stars for their Wakin Bacon breakfast sandwhich & their Chai! The breakfast sandwhich is served on a panini breas with chipotle aioli and it's so toasty and delicious. Honestly one of the best bfast sandwiches around here. Their Chai- I haven't had authentic chai like this in a while. It's house made and you can tell, it's flavorful, not spicy, and warming. Also some of the best chai I've had around here. For the health conscious people - they have a berky water system, organic oat milk, hemp milk, and more. Much appreciated! read more

Martinez, you're so charming! I recently had the opportunity to walk around the downtown area of Martinez and stopped inside Barrelista Coffee House ~ a sign that read 'coffee and cocktails'..I mean, yes and yes! Super cute and cozy interior, giving antique vibes. Extremely friendly service and help with choosing a few items from the menu for a quick pit-stop with friends. We ordered toasts, flavored iced coffees, and a matcha. Toast-wise, see pics for the Avocado Toast and Loaded Vegetarian Toast. Iced Coffee wise went with the Iced Honey Latte and the Iced Mint Latte. Super yum! The toasts are massive and well -worth the order! Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and also deliciously fresh. The Avo toast is loaded, drizzled with an aioli, hemp seeds, and chili flakes with an additional spread of cream cheese and topped with a heaping mound of sprouts. The Loaded Vegetarian comes with avocado, tomato, cucumber, cream cheese, sprouts, capers, and is piled-high potentially needing a fork/knife. If visiting Barrelista for more of their cocktail vibe, it looks like they have barrel aged cocktails and a super fun drink menu I would love to come back and cheers with a few over girl talk time. All in all, craving a toast and ice coffee as I write this. Well-done, Barrelista! Checked all the boxes for satisfying our hunger and thirst needs! read more

[Jay Leno] George Bush was once asked "how do you reduce the price of a barrel of oil?" "Simple, make smaller barrels." - Well Barrelista takes a better approach. Consolidate the cocktail bar and coffee shop experience in one. Save space, run 2 operations. Chock full of lattes, liquors, kitchen favorites, and treats - you cannot go wrong with fine quality. "Fine Quality" written on the menu is earned by way of quality food, drinks, and service. read more

Terrible service even after tipping which of course they expect when you order. Food was cold because no one called my name. Extremely salty ... uneatable. Hold the tomatoes which was a fail. And the shrilling screams fromThe barresta ... out customer names. Never again. read more

Excellent customer service. Ice latte, chai and Salmon toast were delicious. Enjoyed sitting outside in perfect weather while Farmers Market was taking place. Only wish the prices weren't so expensive for this place. For 2 drinks and toast I believe our total was around $35. Will probably come back when we are back in this area. This was a popular spot for locals- singles, couples and families. read more

The settling was quiet and relaxing when I went Saturday. I ordered an iced vanilla chai on the left and my friend ordered a vanillA'more on the right. Both drinks had no flavor. The iced vanilla chai tasted watered down with cinnamon, I asked to add more vanilla syrup to it but it didn't do anything to the taste so not sure if it's the syrups? The VanillA'more just tasted like coffee, nothing that was written in the description which was vanilla creamy chocolate. We were both disappointed in the drinks as they both sounded very good. read more

The staff are really nice. Good energy coming off of multiple people. Cameron is a sweetheart. Busy place but there was still seating available. Cute decor inside. Vanilla latte was cool. Avocado toast was just ok. In fairness, I made a couple of modifications that just didn't pan out. It is probably a better item if you get it as is. Glad I visited. Even the patrons were kind. Worth a visit. read more

Had the chance to visit this shop and work from there. I ordered a matcha vanilla latte and 1/2 salmon toast with capers and sprouts. Both were ok but nothing stood out. I did like the vibe of the inside and they played 80-90's music which suited me because I was born in the 80's. Parking using the meters was $.50 an hour on a Thursday morning. read more

This place is wonderful. I unfortunately forgot the gentleman's name that helped us but I guess they just opened back up after 6 weeks of renovating and wow it looks awesome! The staff were very helpful, the environment was really inviting, and the coffee is a 10/10. I got an iced French latte with soy milk (comes with vanilla and caramel) and my boyfriend got the vanil a' more latte (chocolate and vanilla) and they were both delicious!! Not as much on the sweeter side which I prefer but if you like a sweeter latte definitely ask for an extra pump of syrup. Prices were fair and they don't charge for alternative milk besides half n half. I'd show a photo of my drink but I already finished it lmao. 10/10 place will be coming back to try the food. read more

I really liked the area and the look of the cafe itself! I got a Vanilla iced latte (limited syrups here) but it was delicious! It wasn't watered down, not too sweet, just right. There was a decent amount of seats and I liked that the main source of lighting was from the outside! It wasn't too bright for studying. I enjoyed this place, would go again! Just wish they were open till much later. read more

It's been awhile since I first ate here. But they have a few things on their menu (very few) and it's a nice break from the other places in town. If you don't have a lot of time at lunch...order online. I like the salmon. Served on their homemade bread, with tomato, onion, capers, and alfalfa sprout. Super tasty. But... This is why they don't get 5 stars from me; they grill the homemade bread to toast it a little bit, which turns the crust into a freakin rock. You can't cut it without a steak knife. And even then, it better not be one you bought at Target or Walmart. It'd break those! read more

Barrelistq Coffee House is a cute little cafe on a street corner in Downtown Martinez. After visiting the farmers market on a Sunday morning, I decided to stop by and try some coffee. It was pretty packed, but I was able to put in my order and be out the door in 5 minutes. I got an iced vanilla latte. The coffee tasted pretty good, but I just wanted it to be a little sweeter. I can't wait to come again and try something else. read more

Super friendly service here. Ordered an oat milk cappuccino, since I've decided it's the perfect size drink. The espresso is maybe my new favorite. The flavor was smooth and enticing. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area, and also back to try out some of their cocktails- apparently their alter ego is barrel aged and it's a bar at night. Their handcrafted cocktail list sounded really enticing! read more

I am a regular until they closed down for a change in management. I'm glad that the care is open once again! Five stars for quality and flavor of food. Excellent coffee and matchas. 3 stars for the tables and seating arrangement. I miss the original with couches and soft lounge chairs. No one would want to sit in front of the brick wall in high stools. There's only one lounge type chair in a little corner. No place for patrons like me who need the home like comfort of seating. Nice and friendly. read more

I ordered a hot matcha latte and it was not good. It was not sweetened at all. Their menu does mention it comes unsweetened, nor did the barista asked if I wanted it sweetened. Also the barista was short with me and unpleasant. I saw the barista interact with other guests and their demeanor was completely different. Also it was not crowded and it took a while for my drink to get made. Other drinks were prepared before mine of people who came after me. The one positive is it is a uniquely decorated space. However I won't be returning, if their customer service was better I would give them a second try. read more

Automatic five stars for being pet friendly and calling my dog cute. Ordered something totally different - an espresso spritzer with fresh lemon. Surprisingly refreshing and a flavor I never expected. So nice to enjoy on a hot day and I think I'll start making these at home. Cute atmosphere, happy employees, and lots of games to keep you and your company entertained if the conversation gets dull or you're looking for something fun. read more

It was okay, not sure why minimum tip is $8 up front when the cashier just stands there and stares at you but whatever. Got 2 orders of the salmon on toast and 2 coffees and it came out to almost $70 total?? literally have no idea how that even added up to that. got two different drinks that looked exact same and they didn't write on the drink of which was which. Idk not bad but definitely not worth the price. read more

I used to really like Barrelista, and it still has okay ambience, but the prices are completely insane. Their pastries are literally twice the price you would pay anywhere else. They sell the exact same donuts that States and Rooted sell for $6 instead of $3. read more

I did not like this place for the following reasons: 1. Not welcoming at all. I don't expect the baristas to be overly friendly, but they could at least say hello. 2. The prices aren't clearly listed on the menu in front of the cashier; it feels like a guessing game. 3. The coffee was not good--no taste at all. I ordered a mocha, and it didn't even taste like one. Starbucks is just a couple of doors down, and as much as I dislike commercialized businesses and would prefer to support local ones, this is NOT it. read more

First time Walking around d-town Martinez. Walked in for light lunch. Perfect pick. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. There was a Cute small bar with an excellent spirits Selection. We ordered the panini, and got the last cake donut. Coffee was excellent and they had alternative milk options. Everything was flavorful and served temperature appropriate. The establishment and bathrooms were clean. Only down fall Was it Was not busy and it took a bit long for me to get my panini. It was lunch and maybe they were filling to go or catering orders in the kitchen. Note: They have board games to share if interested. This is a good pick for a light mellow coffee or light lunch or cocktails. They got it all covered. read more

I adore the espresso martinis here. i wish they could be served all the time and not just at night when the bar part is open. The oat milk in the espresso is just one of its. delightful, magical secrets. The salmon bagel is an absolute wonder. The capers add that little zing that make your mouth smile. I love coming here on Sundays in the early afternoons, right after the farmers market. I get to celebrate having gone to the market, having purchased some fresh fruit, smoked salmon (hopefully!), poke, and veggies. Then I can come here have an energizing and relaxing martini and get the week off to a great start. read more

Barrelista is one of those rare spots that gives you the best of both worlds -- a cozy, charming coffee house by day and a vibey, intimate bar by night (aka Barrelaged Bar). Whether you're grabbing a latte and settling in with your laptop or sipping a barrel-aged cocktail under dim lights, the atmosphere always hits just right. The coffee is solid, the baristas are friendly, and the interior has that perfect mix of rustic charm and creative energy. In the evenings, the transition to Barrelaged Bar brings a totally different experience -- think craft cocktails, great music, and a relaxed crowd. It's a fantastic local hangout with something for everyone. My only wish? A few more vegan options on the menu would be amazing. They've got a couple good choices, but with a space this cool, it'd be great to see the food menu be as inclusive and creative as the drinks. Still, whether it's morning fuel or an evening unwind, Barrelista/Barrelaged is an awesome spot to have in Martinez. Highly recommend checking it out. read more
