    Holy shitzu! I love this place! Down to their quirky decor and specialty drinks, I wish this cafe was in my hometown. I ordered the fresas con crema matcha latte and it was the best coffee drink I've ever had. The cashier and owner were also so nice and welcoming to me and my dog too. Can't wait to come back when I'm in town to try more!

    Great food and service and employees were hustling. The decor inside is amazing and eclectic, however just a small place overall. Must check out the tiger bathroom because it was awesome and love them! Such a cool place and will be back again! (:

    Empanada and dulce leche latte

    Well the last time I was there I wanted to study and work on my laptop as I enjoy some cafe foods and drink, however I was interrupted by fruit flies. They hung out by the window. There were a bunch of them. They swarmed me in the middle of my work and kept flying in my face. I had to leave. Very poor. The service was nice. They were very kind and friendly and helped me pick out what I wanted

    Good food, great service, ambience. The decor is fun and cute, cool vibes. We ordered the empanada, breakfast burrito, and chilaquiles. To drink, a strawberry macha, perfect and not too sweet. 10/10 in taste, flavor, and presentation. Would come back again.

    The service was great, not a girly girl type but i found the decorations so cute. The food was good as well, we will be back soon for sure

    Finally was able to get a picture of the super tasty breakfast bagel! They offer the full bagel and half which is shown in the picture. I will literally crave their food because the quality is in the taste and how they plate everything is just perfection. The owners are SO NICE AND QUICK!! Check them out

    Dino latte

    We aren't from this area but I was looking up coffee spots on our road trip. This one came up and I was immediately drawn by the kitschy decor. It was pretty quiet inside but both people working were very nice! I ended up with the Dino (pistachio) latte with almond milk. I was not disappointed! If only I lived close to this cute coffee shop!

    The avocado toast is a must have at this place! It's delicious! Not to mention the empanadas "beans with meat." This one is exclusive! The coffee menu has a great selection! You must definitely come in to try their unique coffees! One of my favorites is the Dino! I also like their matcha strawberry! Yummy! The service is great! Marlene always has a great smile on! Steven always working hard to make sure his service is prompt. Wait time is normal! The environment is great! It's calm, bright, and peaceful! You can come and read a book, drink coffee, eat, enjoy great music, and over great conversations! I love this place! It has a different touch here in old town Salinas! I strongly recommend you stop by!

    My guilty pleasure is definitely the sweet treats here--they truly have it all! Choosing what to…read moreorder is never easy, but this time I went with the classic almond croissant and decided to try something new with the passion fruit-filled croissant. Wow! The passion fruit filling was absolutely amazing--fruity, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The white chocolate topping was the perfect finishing touch and complemented it beautifully. I planned to eat only half and save the rest for later, but it was so good that I couldn't resist finishing the whole thing. I first visited during their soft opening in 2023 and have stopped by occasionally ever since. After this visit, though, I think it's officially become my go-to spot for all things delicious. Every visit feels like a treat, and I can't wait to come back for more!

    food: very good looking, made fresh everyday, go quick…read more service: good ambiance: brightly lit, warm, and welcoming opinion: place opens early at 7 am - closes early at 3:30 pm, typical bakery time. I really wanted to have drink but I save 4 next time, I like the food but it was my first time try, Pastry very fluffy. my father who came with said it was flaky and crunchy. It made me think if they had pictures of cut inside and reveal be something for ppl to eat. almond crossiant is for picky person, however we loved chocolate crossiant. Is there any dog approved menu? Will return next time

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.

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 came into Cheesecake Dreamations expecting dessert. I left questioning whether I had briefly…read moreascended into a higher plane of existence. The cheesecake was so good I had to sit in silence for a minute and reevaluate every life choice that led me to lesser cheesecakes. Creamy, rich, perfectly balanced, and somehow emotionally supportive. I'm pretty sure one bite repaired my credit score. The staff were unbelievably kind too. They treated me like I was a long-lost cousin returning from war with important cheesecake-related news. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and smelled like happiness and butter. At this point I don't even think this place is a bakery. I think it's a public service. If Cheesecake Dreamations ever starts a loyalty program, I will accidentally achieve platinum status by Thursday.

    Was visiting the area and the search engine gods from reddit/google said that this was a dessert…read morespot that was not to be missed. I was so happy they were open on NYE because it was a good stop along the way back up to SF. They had reduced hours, but they posted it on Yelp and IG - so I didn't have that "will they, won't they" anxiety of whether they'd actually be open on a holiday. The cheesecake selection was pretty good - about 12 different flavors. The cheesecake texture is softer and more of a whipped consistency rather than a dense cheesecake, which I definitely prefer. This is a grab and go counter, though you could technically stay and eat it there since there was some seating. I grabbed a dozen and took them to a NYE potluck that day and folks said they really enjoyed it. Would recommend getting the plain, ube, and pass on the key lime (but thats just IMO).
