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.

Whenever I want coffee, I choose this place. I'm not sad to say that today's visit will be my last…read more I've been coming here since they opened and over the years I've seen a noticeable decline in the overall existence of this place. I came in today, Sunday, June 28, 2026 at approximately 2:30 pm. Came in with my son. We placed our order: 1 Mexican mocha and 1 caramel macchiato, both medium. Paid and left a tip. The bill was almost $20. My son's drink was made first. I noticed that his was iced so I looked to see how the girl was making mine. She had a clear cup so I knew she was going to make an iced one for me, which I didn't want. The only thing that was in the cup when I stopped her was the caramel. I politely asked her for a hot one. She looked at me with an annoyed look, then she looked at her coworker, a male with black fingernails, and said "she wanted it hot". She proceeded to make my drink. She made it as if she was slamming the ingredients in the cup. When she gave me my drink she said with major attitude, "next time you need to tell them that you want a hot drink when you order". So I replied, " well usually the person who takes my order asks if I want it hot or cold". There will NOT be a next time because I will NEVER step foot in this place again! With the exception of 3 people sitting at different locations, we were the only ones in there. The customer service here is nonexistent! Perhaps if the workers were a little more pleasant and didn't make the customer feel like they're a burden, maybe they'd have more business. When we were walking out, my son even noticed the ugly attitude and told me that's why he stopped coming here. He said that every time he came in, one of the workers had an attitude. He now chooses Brewjee coffee just a block away. I will follow suit and start patronizing BREWJEE coffee from now on.

She brought out a few different teas for us to smell and was really helpful and informative. We drank our tea there and she offered a second steep, milk, honey.

Will be back!

I am a big tea person, but also don't know a lot about different varieties and want to try new things. I figured it would be OK to ask questions in a tea shop. I just wish that staff was a little bit friendlier to people like me who don't know what they're coming into order right away and need a little bit more time to ask questions and figure it out.

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!

Last reviewed over 8 years ago maybe time for a short update…read more The Cherrybean is one of many coffee shops within walking distance from my house to Old Town Salinas. And over the years my friends and I have visited all of them. The Cherrybean is respectable and relaxed. It's a full service shop with some food treats that go well with your choice of drink. A couple of tables and chairs outside in front and parking both front and back. If you're drinking your coffee black (me) it's pay and self serve. If you're fancy, you're waiting. Last words... good enough for me.
