    My husband and I were running errands and craving matcha and coffee. My husband had the toffee ice crunch latte and I had strawberry matcha. Both were 10/10. The ambiance outside is so nice for having a cool drink and get a little sun! It was the perfect pit spot to take a break in the middle of running errands. Also customer service is outstanding and consistent!

    Beautiful ambience. Makes you feel like you're not in the valley for a moment. Almost like you are at a hip spot on Melrose or Fred Segal. I absolutely love the black and white theme. Restoration Hardware furniture makes it look & feel fabulous. The grounds are simple, clean & gorgeous with plenty of parking. If you have littles... they will enjoy sitting outside playing with the trucks under the Olive tree while you enjoy a breakfast sandwich/pastry and your beverage on the outdoor couches. If you are a big kid & love ping pong... they have that too! The fresh jalapeño bagel made by a local artisan was delicious & had the right amount of spice. I did enjoy the pizza bagel as well. Mimosas were great. Vanessa's daughter is welcoming & will take the time explaining all the treats to you. She is a gem that will make sure you're happy. Great 1st time experience. And if you are into yoga... you can join them on the grass outside in front of the beautiful pool surrounded by trees and white flowers. This is a hidden gem you need to check out right off hwy 99. You won't be disappointed:)

    Strawberry matcha latte is good $1 to have a sub milk is a lot. Cute location inside and out door seating is nice. Love the decor and staff was helpful and friendly will return.

    I'd say hidden gem if you want to work & enjoy cup of coffee, such beautiful outdoor setting perfect for someone works on the go and best part not loud at all. Parking plenty space around location. The young ladies were really nice and welcoming. Now as for coffee it was strong which a good thing & as for matcha good too. Only thing I will say drinks are pricey spent close $18 for both drinks

    Chocolate croissant
    Veronica C.

    Tried the Cardamom ice latte, it was pretty good but the chocolate croissant was amazing!!!!! They have a beautiful, modern, welcoming atmosphere. However girl behind the counter didn't seem thrilled to be there. She had a bad attitude, we said hi and she didn't say hi or give us some sort of welcoming. Anyways, we ordered our drinks then I asked about a croissant that seemed different than the others and she kind of gave me attitude and said "it's chocolate" when it clearly had other toppings then said "oh" and pointed at the menu irritated. I'm sorry but this was our first time there so a little customer service would have been nice. Either way, we will be back because it was a very cozy and beautiful place.

    Breakfast sausage sandwich
    Joselin R.

    Cute little shop once you walked in, very busy on a Saturday morning. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Ordered a breakfast sausage sandwich and a caramel latte. The sandwich was very delicious, tasted homemade. And the latte was very good not on the sweet side. Highly recommend this place!

    Strawberry White Chocolate Mocha and Raspberry Matcha
    Sheena B.

    Cute spot right off the highway with wonderful beverage and light food options! We got the strawberry white chocolate mocha and the raspberry matcha, both iced. Perfectly sweet with real fruit beautifully presented. Place was intimate, clean, with very friendly staff.

    Chocolate muffin- eh just a muffin

    Update: came back again bc my daughter and I really enjoyed our drinks last time. Sunday, 3/22/26, came about 10am and there was a crowd already. This time I saw the pastries and was filled with many varieties (woohoo)! Ordered the drinks and was still good. Pastries I got this time was almond croissant- had almond fillings- was good Morning bun- good The cashier was very attentive and friendly as supposed to the last girl. The drinks and food all came out at the same time which I appreciate it bc I get to enjoy my pastry with a sip of my coffee. I believe the owner was there and she delivered my food- she was very nice and pleasant and attentive to the needs of my order. This I will be my go to Sunday coffee .

    Cadbury matcha  Carrot cake latte

    Perfectly sweetened! I don't like matcha but it was actually decent. And coffee was soo good!

    This place is so cute! I had heard about it from a friend, and decided to drop in while passing through Salida. There doesn't seem to be a ton of parking inside the gate, but cars were starting to park on the shoulder of the road out front. There's a smaller indoor seating area where you order that has some little tables and cozy chairs to sit and chat. Very clean, cute vibe. I ordered a honey lavender latte (decaf) and ordered one of their sandwiches. I actually tried to order a wrap first but they were sold out so this place must be popular! You can also order online for pickup. Friendly and quick service, decent prices! Will definitely return again

    Strawberry masala chai and their Valentines themed shop
    Lindsey S.

    I have heard stellar things about this place and it did not disappoint. I love trying coffee shops and cafes around the 209. First off, when you walk in, the vibes are immaculate. The baristas greeted me and it is super cute inside. The most important part, however, is the drink I had. I wish I could've ordered like 3 drinks. I ended up getting the strawberry masala chai... when I tell you, this was SO GOOD. It was different than a traditional chai, with more citrusy notes to it. But if you are into more of a spicy, acidic flavor, I recommend it. I just saw their spring menu and I need to go back. The baristas were so dang sweet and made my day. I'd go back every day if I could.

    I just had the most wonderful time at The Matriarch Cafe! The ambiance is lovely, and the Raspberry Matcha Latte was absolutely divine. Paired it with a deliciously flaky pastry, and I'm in heaven! Will definitely be back ASAP

    Attractive modern building with a nice outdoor seating area as well

    I had really high hopes for this place. The advertisements built up an elevated product and experience and that is what I was hoping for. While the place is very nice to look at, the prices are high compared to other coffee shops, and the coffee was average. I had an iced toffee drink and it was okay, but I did need to add sweetener. I am not sure if I'll give it another try or not. The service was okay, but smiles would have made it better.

While I typically avoid paying premium prices for coffee, I decided to treat myself and finally give this location a try. Upon entering, I was greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and placed an order for three iced coffees, which I stated clearly. When my order was delivered, two of the drinks were iced, while one was served hot. I calmly and politely mentioned that all three were supposed to be iced coffees. At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.

The front half of the establishment (where the GPS directs you) is a market, while the back half is the coffee shop. But the whole building is connected. Parking for the coffee shop is located towards the back but it is very limited. Sundays are extremely busy here! The coffee & desserts are homemade and delicious! The coffee is from Yemen and every drink Ive tried so far has been amazing. The biscoff latte, Dulce de leche, brown sugar oat & peppermint bark! Looking online they don't regularly update their menu, so I snapped a recent picture of the menu for my fellow Yelpers! It appears they also have a changing seasonal menu for their coffees & desserts. All of their treats are homemade and very delicious! I highly recommend buying a treat to go with your drink. For the non-coffee drinkers, they offer matcha, matcha flights, lemonades, refreshers, teas, smoothies and energy drink mixers. The service is great! They are extremely fast serving drinks & food. The line might be long but you won't be waiting long. The lady at the cash register is usually the same person and she's very patient & kind! She'll explain any of the desserts for those wanting to try new things! The market & coffee shop always smell so delicious upon walking in. This place is truly a hidden gem everyone needs to experience! I read online they will be opening another location in Modesto soon!

There was a handful of people in line before me, all seeming to order some kind of latte or matcha. I was almost convinced but I always steer towards an Adeni Chai when at a Yemeni Cafe. I'd describe it as a black milk tea with spices. Make sure to ask for your preferred sweetness as it isn't sweetened by default. The Adeni Chai was served insanely hot but, I enjoyed it when it cooled down and it was great. I tried the Honeycomb Bread (warmed) and would more than likely skip next time. It was a bit more mushy than the other Honeycomb breads I've had in the past. There's a parking lot which is always convenient and there are seats inside if you want to enjoy your treats there. Keep in mind though, it is connected to a small store.
