Coffee Menu

Cherry Bean is located in oldtown Salinas. The art inside of the place is very nice. It's a fairly big coffee shop with a large variety of teas. They have outdoor seating and high chairs for the kiddos. The restroom is clean. I had a spinach quiche and veggie samosa with some peach iced tea. The quiche was great, but the samosa didn't inspire joy. The tea was brewed hot, then chilled with ice with was tasty and refreshing. I would come back. Price: $16

whole beans, light roast
Culinary S.

first time checking out this reddit renown coffee spot, always order the espresso everywhere i go, here they only have a dark roast dialed in, my least favorite, but despite that the double shot wasnt too bitter or astringent or tasted like old dirt, for dark roast it was good, had a nice bit of body and was really smooth with a natural sweetness. the staff are very fast and attentive, and the place itself is calm and spacious with some low motown and classic rnb. i got some light roast whole beans to go that i'm looking forward to, that'll be the real defining marker for me. forced to knock this place down a few because they wouldnt make a cortado and started cleaning the one bathroom 30 minutes before the shop closed and then locked it for the remaining last 15 minutes while the shop was still open and others were still inside! i can only venture that the staff do this so they can leave early, at the cost of a star though.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

My favorite spot for a coffee in Old Town. Beans roasted on site, local pastries and a friendly vibe. Not sure why it got it reported closed - it's definitely open- I put the current hours up.

If you are in Salinas , definitely check out this coffee house. Great cozy ambience. Great coffee. Lots of space. Definitely a place where you can sit down and have a meeting, work on project, dear homework, or just enjoy the coffee

Brewjee Coffee is where you can find decadent coffee and matcha drinks. They have a variety of…read moresyrups and foam tops to create unique drinks. This is definitely not a place you'd go to for simple espresso drinks. We were content with our drinks: Curious George (mocha with banana cold foam), For the Girls (cold brew with strawberry cold foam), and Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. The flavors came out as expected, but it is was on the sweeter side. The drinks here are on the pricier side. Each of our 16 oz drinks were over $10 after tax and tip. They offer larger cups too around 24oz, similar to a Venti from Starbucks. Given the price only, it's hard for me to justify repeat visits. The store itself is tiny. There is no room for you to sit down and enjoy your drink. The staff were great. They were kind and very attentive despite being very busy when we went. I'd only come if I'm craving their specialty drinks.

For quality and originality of drinks definitely would give 5/5. No issues here whatsoever. I've…read moreonly done their specialty iced drinks and have yet to try a normal brew coffee. Pricing 3/5 stars for two medium drinks it cost $19 and to be quite frank, they pour a ton of ice! Literally 1/2 the cup and even sometimes, 3/4 of the cup will be with ice. This GREATLY reduces how much of the drink you are actually receiving. What's even more comical is if you ask for light ice they CHARGE you ¢50 more per drink the reasoning is "we are putting more milk and product". Come on, in all honesty you guys are just being stingy af. You already put very little product for these overpriced drinks, that do taste good, not gonna lie. This makes me only wanna come here maybe 1x a month as instead of more often. I understand that everything is expensive but overcharging your customers and trying to get over on them by creating the illusion that they are receiving large amounts that is magnified from the amount of ice you put is disappointing.

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.

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.

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!

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?

I ordered the tuna melt and he got the chicken Caesar salad. The tuna melt was honestly really good. The sourdough bread was toasted nicely and I loved that crispy layer of cheese on the outside because that is a special tray and my favorite part of any melt sandwich. The tuna salad itself was flavorful. It came with potatoes that unfortunately were probably the only miss for me. They seemed like they were not reheated all the way, so they had that slightly cold, rubbery texture. They also serve this little cucumber and tomato salad on the side that was absolutely delicious and honestly such a nice fresh side to my sandwich. My son wasn't too impressed with the Caesar salad because he said the dressing tasted watery, but other than that everything else he liked - the chicken was flavorful and nicely cooked, the salad was fresh and crunchy. Service and atmosphere were nice. Overall, I would definitely come back for lunch again. Breakfast is also great here, so I would recommend both.
