This is the best coffee shop that I have ever discovered it. It's a hidden gem. The music, the food, the drinks, the girls, the vibe. Whoever is behind this is a visionary and definitely gots vision. This definitely needs to be in the architecture digest magazine because I know what this place look like before. Incredible great job. read more

This coffee shop is so cute!! Attached to a remodeled hotel so parking is limited. The coffee shop it's self is cozy, a few small tables around and outdoor seating when it's not raining. The matcha was not good but their seasonal toffee coffee was delicious, not too sweet. I tried it both iced and hot and liked them both ways. The jalapeño cheese bagel was also really good. read more

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! read more

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:) read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 . read more

Matriarch Cafe - Cadbury matcha Carrot cake latte - Cafes Near Me - Salida, California

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 read more

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. read more

Such a cute spot in the 209! Great ambiance and great coffee, and so far the food I've tried is fabulous too.

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 read more

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. read more

First time going here and I'm just beginning to get into coffee. So first thought was the place is really nice and kept up well. It's a plus they have toys for kids to play with it. Which my son loved. But when I went to order and asked a question about the coffee options, they all looked at me like I was stupid. I ordered my drink and food and waited 20 min. They got my name wrong and so I didn't notice it was ready until I went up and asked about it. Even though I was going up to the counter multiple times to check. Even when I asked about my food they ALL gave me dirty looks. The service there doesn't deserve any stars. The food was simple but good and the ambiance was nice. Truly the only reason it's getting any stars read more

Update: Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. I did not check Yelp for hours of operation. And I hope the verse was not added to imply I was being rude. That was truly not my intention, as it was more an expression of frustration that hours of operation could be updated to reflect current hours, even if you have events. Especially for those who may travel, walk, etc. As a believer myself, I love Ephesians 4:32 and appreciate the note. If my post came across as rude, mean or spiteful, that was not my intention. I apologize if so. I am upset that I was very much looking forward to trying your new cafe with family as a life long resident of Salida. I would much rather have supported your business over Starbucks Blessings! ------- Before WALKING to Matriarch Cafe, with two kids & a family member from out of state, I checked BOTH Google and Matriarch Café's website to see if they were open and what time they closed. Walked up to the entrance & it was closed. An employee stated they closed at 12. I mentioned that's not what is posted on the website. She asked what site I was referring to. She was a bit confused, but by that point we headed out because I was upset. read more

Matriarch Café is such a gem in Modesto! The coffee is absolutely amazing, highly recommend the honey lavender latte, iced or hot, with oat milk. It's perfectly balanced and easily one of the best specialty drinks I've had. Our family also tried the pesto turkey sandwich and it was a hit, fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. You can really tell everything here is thoughtfully prepared and fresh. The service truly stands out. The owners are incredibly hospitable, warm, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The ambiance is relaxing and aesthetically beautiful, such a lovely place to sit, unwind, and enjoy great coffee. Already dreaming about summer mornings on the patio with a latte in hand. Can't wait to come back! read more

No this place is not it! The iced chai latte had a weird flavor to it and the honey lavender latte was so strong of lavender that it tasted straight up like soap. I will not come back didn't bother to take pictures since we did not finish them. We threw them away so we wasted our money and gas coming here. The staff is friendly and the shop in itself is aesthetically pleasing. read more

Finally made it out to Matriarch Cafe a few weeks ago. It's attached to a motel that's been remodeled. When you first pull in to the parking lot you can tell they put a lot of work and care into transforming the property into something wonderful for their guests. The moment you walk in, you're hit with a heat wave. Since it's a small space the heat gets trapped inside even though they had a big sliding door open to the beautiful courtyard. They had a really nice espresso machine but since it was late in the day I chose not to have coffee. But they have a lot of other drinks available if you need something other than coffee. There's a good assortment of baked goods, and breakfast sandwiches. They even have a full pizza on the menu. Since it was late in the day and we hadn't eaten, my boyfriend ordered the pizza and it came out really quickly! However, it was cold in the middle. It's like it came from the freezer, they forgot to cook it all the way, and then put some arugula on it. So we were kind of disappointed. Since it's not safe to eat partially heated food, we didn't end up eating it. If I go again, I'll try one of their baked goods. I hope they get the reheating temperatures figured out, it's such a nice spot and we love to support small businesses! read more

Matriarch Cafe - Pepperoni pizza with arugula and balsamic glaze. Unfortunately, cold in the middle. - Cafes Near Me - Salida, California

I had been wanting to try this little cafe since it opened and I finally got the chance to try it yesterday. I ordered a cookie butter latte and a bagel with cream cheese, tomato, micro greens, and avocado. It was $18. Pretty pricey if you ask me, but it's OK if the food/ drink is good. I was disappointed in the food because my bagel was so hard- it tasted old. I ate most of it because I was so hungry but I had to saw through the bagel with a knife to cut it. The cookie butter latte unfortunately tasted nothing like cookie butter. It wasn't bad, but it just tasted like a plain latte with a cookie thrown on top. There was no cookie butter flavor to the actual coffee itself at all. On a more positive note, the cafe itself was really cute inside and very aesthetically pleasing. The bathroom inside the cafe was also very cute and clean. The outside area of the cafe was nice as well. They had some nice looking pastries in the display case, but I didn't order any so I can't comment on their taste. Overall, I don't think I would return- the coffee just didn't wow me like I hoped. I'm sorry :( read more

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and everything I've tried has been delicious. You can really tell they care about both the quality of their drinks and the people who walk through the door. The service was excellent, and the girl Haylee was especially amazing. She was so helpful, genuinely sweet, and made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. It's rare to come across someone who makes your day a little brighter just by being themselves, and she definitely did that for me. I truly enjoy coming here and always leave in a better mood than when I walked in. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for great coffee and even better service! read more

Honey Lavender Latte , good. You can taste the honey in it and it's not too sweet . The chocolate muffin was delicious. Didnt feel too heavy like muffins usually are . It was more like a fluffy brownie . Service - everyone was nice . Strange that my muffin was handed to me over five minutes later from when I got my drink when it's really just coming out of the pastry case . But they were very kind. Ambience- it's put together nicely . The inside is well done but I feel they need to be better at cleaning the tables off between customers . The outside area is exactly what our area needed . Such a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee with friends. Maybe I was not in the mood, maybe I'm too old . There was a DJ outside and cool . But it felt out of place ,it was too loud for a place to sit and relax and chat with friends. If It was open in the evening I would understand but not for breakfast coffee . I noticed there was additional sitting in front of the coffee shop away from the back garden area . Not quite sure if it was open for only the hotel customers or the coffee shop customers as well . But it's so much quieter that I preferred that area under the trees with the roses . read more

I didn't know this place existed and I am glad I found it! I loved their Dirt Chai;my friend had the Match Latte (it has no added sweet so if you like sweet drinks ask for the sweetener in it). It's a small cute place that has outdoor seating and sits on the premise of the hotel! I wasn't able to take pictures of the area where you order because staff was working and I wanted to respect their privacy. Staff was really nice! I highly recommend this place. For those passing by the area, it is near the freeway. read more

Didn't get to try because we waiting 15 mins for our order to get taken and it never did (we were the only ones in line) The employee had acknowledged us although at around 13 min mark she asked if we had our order taken which it hadnt. Even though it was obvious we didnt since we were the only ones in line. She then still didnt take our order, which we then decided to leave. It seems really unorganized, which I understand a bit since it was a bit busy. Theres a need to get a routine down within the cafe so people aren't waiting long for orders to get taken and drinks/food to be given out while maintaing clealiness . read more
