Brewjee Coffee is where you can find decadent coffee and matcha drinks. They have a variety of…read moresyrups and foam tops to create unique drinks. This is definitely not a place you'd go to for simple espresso drinks. We were content with our drinks: Curious George (mocha with banana cold foam), For the Girls (cold brew with strawberry cold foam), and Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. The flavors came out as expected, but it is was on the sweeter side. The drinks here are on the pricier side. Each of our 16 oz drinks were over $10 after tax and tip. They offer larger cups too around 24oz, similar to a Venti from Starbucks. Given the price only, it's hard for me to justify repeat visits. The store itself is tiny. There is no room for you to sit down and enjoy your drink. The staff were great. They were kind and very attentive despite being very busy when we went. I'd only come if I'm craving their specialty drinks.

Oh my goodness! BREWJEE! If you are ever in salinas, and need your coffee/ matcha/ pastry + drink…read morefix definitely check this tiny but mighty cafe place out! Drink thoughts: I'm a matcha fanatic and those around me are coffee connoisseurs and every time I go here I legit get a different drink. If you realllyyyy want my opinion though and want a matcha drink- get the King Kong Matcha or the Matcha with Cookie Butter! (But seriously, any drink you get is gucci.) For the holidays, you know they had to give us something good! I tried both the Grinch Matcha and Santa Cookie drink and it tastes like Christmas holiday cosy vibes but iced lol. Parking: There is a parking site close by but it can be tight! (Per usual in downtown salinas) Vibes: Immaculate (I need a brewjee sweater / t-shirt now. Brewjee, please please consider multiplying and expanding across salinas citizens!

The worker said "so sorry for the wait! i'll bring your order to you." However, in my mind the wait was not long at all! This really shows how much they value customer service. If i could give them 10+ stars i would! Their matcha/ ube dole whip soft serve I got was super flavorful as well! I can taste the ube and matcha despite them being swirled in together! I love this place for desserts! Thank you for blessing Salinas with your more than just "Tropical Vibes" Aura!

The match soft serve ice cream was good with a nice matcha flavor and big portion size. We were not fans of the Gigi's taro and the everything matcha slush. Both drinks had way too much going on. I wish they had a menu on the wall and listed what comes in their drinks so many of them had a bunch of inclusions. The drinks weren't disgusting, just not what we're used to. It's more like halo halo vs boba tea. Tip: I saw another persons order and asked if I could order that but the staff told me it was a customized drink and they require you to order custom drinks 15-20 min in advance. It looked good though! Next time, we'll try this option and see how it goes.

I'm not a fan of the matcha since it comes sweetened, but the drinks that are flavored here tend to be on the sweeter side. If I want to throw a few extra miles on my gym runs I will have the Mexican mocha frappe, but I don't even want to know the calories on that one. Good local spot you have to try.

Extra 99 cents to make it a large. Pros: - very easy parking lot - DELICIOUS acai with excellent fruit to granola to acai ratio - I love that you don't run out of granola or fruit at the end and they put granola at the bottom too - The fruit tasted super fresh - Acai blended really well, no iciness - Pretty fast service, I think our four bowls were ready within 5mins - pretty good quantity even for the small - I was full afterwards and it was the perfect size breakfast. - Has a little sitting area in the back with some tables, and a counter. - cute decor in the back, fast casual setting. - SO refreshing in hot weather 10/10 acai and better than anything I can find in the East Bay

And over the years my friends and I have visited all of them. The Cherrybean is respectable and relaxed. It's a full service shop with some food treats that go well with your choice of drink. A couple of tables and chairs outside in front and parking both front and back. If you're drinking your coffee black (me) it's pay and self serve. If you're fancy, you're waiting. Last words... good enough for me.
