    I love trying new coffee spots in Salinas. I would definitely come here over Starbucks. I went on a Monday morning and there was no line at all. The baristas were very patient with me because I didn't look up the menu beforehand. The only reason I knocked down a star is because the pastry wasn't all that great.

    A small chai, kids' temp. So tasty and warm, just perfect not too sweet either.

    Cute coffee spot in the middle of a parking lot perfect to stop by and get a cold or hot drink via drive thru. Will def be back.

    I recently started coming here and have had such a great experience every time. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I usually ask for a "surprise me" drink because I never know what to order and don't want to hold up the line deciding. Every drink has turned out amazing! I really appreciate the creativity and care the baristas put into making something unique each time. Definitely becoming one of my favorite coffee spots.

    First I love that this is a local owned coffee shop drive through, not many that seen. It definitely gives me early 90"s vibe that I love. I love supporting more local coffee shops and this one is perfect when I'm on the go with my little toddler in the back seat. Coffees are great! My go to is a dirty chai with oat milk. I also get to use my own cup if I remember to bring it haha The little snacks are great too, the cauliflower puffs are perfect for my son while mommy gets her caffeine. The employees are so friendly and it's just an overall great little gem in a grocery store parking lot! Thank you Jacks! This mama is so happy you guys are around!

    Okayyyyy! I see you Jack's Coffee. Found out about this cute place from TikTok and wanted to try out. Amazing service from a brunette lady, asked about the pastries and other stuff on the menu. The drinks tasted amazing and BALANCED!! 10/10!!

    We were on our way home to San Diego, from Monterey, we left the hotel without coffee and Jacks Coffee was a perfect stop, as it is a drive thru and service was quick!

    Too expensive. McDonald is under construction that is why I bought coffee here. I'm not buying here again.

    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.

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!

OVERALL: Kind of reminds me of the local Suju's in Fremont (where I'm from), as their local go to coffee in Salinas that's more concentrated in espresso complexity. CUBANITO: Their specialty! Only 8oz with 3 shots of espresso, turbinado sugar, and milk...can modify level of sweetness. However person for which this drink was for states it's still overly sweet. CARAMEL Macchiato: Made me sad that it wasn't authentic as milk should be first then the shots of espresso so there's two layers (that's why I secretly wanted this drink). Then a drizzle of caramel. Tastes like a caramel macchiato, nonetheless. ***overall, their coffee is good with a smooth flavor profile and no bitter undertones or after taste, equating to high quality beans*** SERVICE: They are so sweet, kind, and patient, willing to answer any and all questions. Very splendid seeing a group of Spanish speaking ladies going strong at it! AMBIANCE: Casual, local coffee joint that's mainly enjoyed by the Hispanic community. Bathroom available. WiFi available. Very clean. Very modern decor. Two outdoor tables. Multiple indoor seating options. Located in the Safeway plaza with a multitude of establishments, stores, Jamba Juice, services, etc. Very large private parking lot. In the suburbs. Would I come back? Probably not.

I ordered the tuna melt and he got the chicken Caesar salad. The tuna melt was honestly really good. The sourdough bread was toasted nicely and I loved that crispy layer of cheese on the outside because that is a special tray and my favorite part of any melt sandwich. The tuna salad itself was flavorful. It came with potatoes that unfortunately were probably the only miss for me. They seemed like they were not reheated all the way, so they had that slightly cold, rubbery texture. They also serve this little cucumber and tomato salad on the side that was absolutely delicious and honestly such a nice fresh side to my sandwich. My son wasn't too impressed with the Caesar salad because he said the dressing tasted watery, but other than that everything else he liked - the chicken was flavorful and nicely cooked, the salad was fresh and crunchy. Service and atmosphere were nice. Overall, I would definitely come back for lunch again. Breakfast is also great here, so I would recommend both.
