When I drive-through Salinas, I always stop at Jacks. I love their coffee and supporting local places. CUSTOMERSERVICE is huge to me. I was shocked at my last experience there. The young lady had a horrible attitude the minute she slide back the window. There is one rotten apple that needs to go. read more

Love this idea of a cute little shack in the middle of the parking lot. The barista said the Mexican mocha was good so I gave it a try. And now I'm hooked! read more

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

Easily best coffee in town! Perfect location. Also, the employees are super friendly and courteous. Thank you so much!

Super convenient! Friendly faces every single time. It has become my regular stop before getting to work. I love getting my London Fog with Oatmilk here. read more

absolutely love this place, i get my mornings started here all the time. their lattes are beyond amazing and the girls that work their have the best customer service! read more

I opted to come here since I'm *very* over the aggravating rat race to Starbucks. Goooodnessssss why haven't I come here sooner?? The service was extremely pleasant and quick! I'm not used to that, haha ;) My white mocha with caramel with UH-mazing, so I will most definitely be a repeat customer! read more

My favorite coffee stop in Salinas! Not only is the customer service excellent, but the coffee is delicious. Seriously. Anytime I stop by here, the baristas are friendly and I'm never disappointed with my order. The business goes above and beyond with detail too- always cute decor to appreciate when waiting in the drive thru. Must give this place a try. read more

Tried it for the first time using a gift card. I went back the next week, great coffee!

I love jacks! The service is friendly and fast. My drinks are always consistently good, and more people in Salinas need to give them a visit. I'm always happy to stop by and support an awesome local spot. I just had their iced matcha latte with oat milk and it's soo good read more

Just ordered a small lavender breve latte (with half and half).. zero stars for the drink. As a long time myself barista, I was very disappointed with my drink. There was no lavender at all in the drink, which I payed extra for. The milk was frothed like a cappuccino rather than a latte and was way too hot that it gave the milk a burned taste. The espresso is hard to taste through all of the burned milk. Definitely wasted my money on this. I was already driving away when I first tasted my latte or I would've kindly asked them to add some lavender or remake it. However, the girl who took my order was friendly and sweet :) read more

So conveniently placed. Great iced coffee. cheaper than star bucks. double window. Line moves quickly. You can also grab an oatmeal or pastry to go. read more

I love their coffee! But I got the wrong drink twice. I think the baristas should repeat back orders just to confirm. I don't blame them, the masks make it more difficult to communicate! I love the lavender flavoring and get it almost every time I go. Fast service too! Support your local businesses! read more

Perfect service and great coffee ! Will be coming back , drove up and got a great greeting and service , $3 for a large iced coffee not bad at all read more

Jack's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Salinas, California

Amazing service and quality coffee!!!! Thank you for helping us wake up this morning and get us started on our travels to San Diego.

I love that they're open so early and the girls that work there are all so sweet! Coffee is good and quick. I like the fact I don't have to get out of my car cuz I'm looking like a bum or I'm too lazy. Keep it up! read more

This coffee is so delicious. Consistently. Every time I come here I feel like I took a little sip of heaven. They're super friendly all the time too. I recommend it! read more

Delicious frap with coco milk. And say yes to the yummy whipped cream! Great service with a smile

The coffee is great, the service is great and the baristas are great. I've become a frequent visitor trading in my Starbucks for Jacks. I've had cold brew, latte, and cappuccino and they have all been great. :-) read more

I always go here for my first cup in the morning. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is great. I recommend to anyone who needs a cup. read more

Awesome coffee and customer service!! I can't wait to go back. I'm so excited that someone local reopened this convenient little coffee drive thru. I will definitely be making this my regular coffee spot over Starbucks. They also have smoothies which I plan to try. read more

So glad to finally have a drive through coffee place on the south side! Tried their chai and it was delicious and my new must have especially for fall, I would definitely recommend it! read more

Where do I start! The staff is always friendly and energetic. The coffee and tea are always delightful and service is always speedy.

The main issue I have is the inconsistency in the quality of the large coffee latte's. I went one day about 5-6 days ago and the drink was amazing, I had to come back again under an hour later for a second cup. The next few times the drink was waaaay too sugary, another time hot but tasteless and the my last drink this morning was OK, acceptable, just nothing like the wonderful experience I had on my first visit. I think the difference is in who is working that day. Once Starbucks re-opens I probably will stop coming but until then you may still have a customer. read more

Great coffee and has all the options every coffee lover needs such as almond and coconut milk for us dairy sensitive people. Service is amazing too!! read more

I was on a road trip and stopped to get a coffee from Jacks. The coffee shop was closed, but the owners were outside putting up Christmas decorations. Even though the shop was closed, they made me free iced coffee for the road. The owners are so friendly, and generous. The coffee shop is quick, convenient, fairly priced, and has a welcoming/laid back vibe. The coffee was also fantastic. All around a great experience. I wish I lived in Salinas so I could visit Jacks every day! read more

Lovely barista who patiently answered all our questions as this was our first visit here. Ordered two soy cappuccinos. They were not bitter and were the perfect combination of milk and espresso. They also offer pour overs which we find unusual for coffee shack drive throughs. What a nice option for Salinas where Starbucks is a plenty. read more

Ok, so i just have to give an update... I have been a loyal customer for almost 2 months now! Seriously my new favorite coffee spot! I am so bummed on the weekends because i live too far away to make the drive.. but Monday-Friday you better believe i am there! And the staff is awesome! Some of the regular faces i see every morning are Niki, Ari & Rachel.. They know my drink and have it ready as soon as they see me pull up! So welcoming, fun to talk to and a great way to start my day! read more

Awesome drive-thru location with super friendly baristas. I ordered the Cafe Mocha and it was good, but too sweet for my taste-buds. I think I will order a regular coffee next time since they use high-quality beans. Thanks Jack's Coffee staff for making me feel like a valued customer! :-) read more

Seriously the best coffee and service! I always like to try the new lattes and I am never disappointed. Love love love this place.

Coffee was great and the service was fantastic. I have been here a number of times and each experience has been fantastic. Great service by friendly staff, my coffee tasted fantastic and everything is so clean. And to top it off they had door cookies for my pup! Will continue to go here for my coffee. read more

I always love stopping here on the way to work, the employees are always so nice and incredibly prompt not to mention their delicious coffee! It's a must stop for me and for my dog who loves their little milk bones and the attention he gets when we pull up to the window. read more

cutest place with really good quality coffee. better than starbucks or peets by far. great service :)

Got to work and realized that my pumpkin spice latte tastes off because they failed to add the espresso shots. Not a fan of paying $5.00 for steamed milk read more

I love love love love LOVE Jacks coffee! They are the best. Whenever I am in town I don't care what part of town I'm in I have to go by jack's and get a coffee. Sweetest staff, best coffee and even one time I went when they were closed and was given a free iced coffee. How awesome is that? Love this place. If you're ever in Salinas don't forget to stop by jacks coffee! read more

The people who work there are SO great! Love how fast and convenient it is... but their Mocha is terrible... can you guys change that up???

Really enjoyed my visit to Jack's Coffee! The ladies behind the window are extremely friendly and make great coffee (They use America's Best Roast). I came in for a mid-day latte on a rainy day and was pleasantly surprised with this little joint. 4-5$ for a latte seemed like alot initially but the quality was on par with a high-end coffee shop. Will be back! read more

Friendly cheerful people, great coffee and drinks! They are great at making suggestions if you can't decide on what you want.

I accidentally drove in when they we're closed but he still gave me some coffee free of charge:). The employees are so nice and they have the best cold brew! read more

1st time here, and everything was 5 stars. The cappuccino was good and strong, the girl working (Caucasian, thin, about 17) gave exceptional customer service (she deserves a kudos), she gave my dog a biscuit treat, and service was fast and efficient. I couldn't ask for more. I will be back to try that blended mint drink ;) read more
