    Duvalin Matcha Latte (+Winnie the Pooh)
    Karla L.

    I go to Con Azúcar often since giving up Starbucks! My family and I love getting the Duvalin matcha latte, dulce de leche frappe, Jamaica refresher and gansito frappe. I have never had a bad experience here!! My matcha is always great (I just have to remember to mix it well) and today my barista left a Winnie the Pooh latte art on my drink which was a cute surprise!! The service is always great and the place is beautiful painted :) I'm glad there's a great Starbucks alternative coffee place here in Salinas.

    Inside is sooooo aesthetically pleasing. the artwork and design is on point. The drinks are all well made, taste is good with a splash of spice. So delicious!!

    The Club sandwich
    Wendy H.

    Very aesthetically pleasing. I went around 12ish and luckily it was not that packed so I was able to sit down and enjoy the mural. The cafe de olla is delicious but it comes in a small cup. The latte was also good. I didn't expect the sandwich to be flavorful. Just be warned that it has a lot of mayo and if you are a messy eater like me you'll get your shirt stained.

    Gansito Frappe (actually strawberry frappe)
    Omar R.

    I've been to this location multiple times. Today, we ordered a Gansito Frappe with a cafe de la olla. The coffee was okay. To begin, there was no line management so customers didn't know where to stand in line. However, the issue was we received a strawberry frappe instead of a Gansito frappe. We returned only to be told that it was the Gansito frappe when it's clearly not. The lady said that the frappe is usually this pink which is hard to believe. We've been at this location multiple times for the Gansito frappe and it's never looked or tasted like this, can't taste a Gansito. There didn't seem to be supervisors around, staff is very young.

    Mazapan iced latte, forgot the name of the warm drink and a mini concha - which was from their mini pastry assortment bags.
    Veronica P.

    I was here back in February, not too long after they opened. I walked in and there were a few people in line and plenty of open seats, which I was gladly surprised. I ordered the iced mazapan latte and their assortment of pastries. The pastries were okay, I could tell they were not fresh, but not bad. The mazapan latte was on the sweeter side. I would ask for it less sweet next time. The staff was not friendly or rude, you could tell they were still trying to find their rhythm. They seemed to need training or have someone take ownership in managing the staff. I believe there was 4-5 people and they all seemed to lean on each other, no clear direction from a manager. The place was clean but they had received a supply order and supplies were sort of in the way, there was a couple of staff members working on it. Overall it was an okay experience and I would go back. At this moment, I wouldn't say Con Azucar comes to mind when I want to go out for coffee. I mean, it's been 3 months since I was there and I haven't been back, but I do plan on giving them another chance.

    Brown Concha Grande (didn't have in display but I asked & they had it ready to go)

    We got the Concha Grande ($35) & it was fluffy,airy, & flavorful!!! Not dry at all!! The staff was friendly. There was a nice gentleman with glasses was helping us out & he had great suggestions. Everything was delicious!!! They had music playing & the aesthetic of plants was so cute!!

    Entrance

    I hesitated writing this review because the place just opened and I imagine there are growing pains with any new establishment. Also, I wondered if I simply ordered the wrong thing for me. So I looked around and it looks like this "franchise" is simply more in the business of appearing to be good than actually executing on service and quality. So many locations opening up and no consideration is being given to the countless complains for service at ALL their locations. Long wait times even on the "older" locations. It sucks for the investment into these viral businesses that have no proven concept. Best of luck, as for me, I can make better tasting coffee at home . I will add, even when the coffee is bad but the service is great you have a chance, here : quality, and service were subpar.

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.

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.

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.

To be clear, yes, they sell donuts, but no, they do not sell ice cream; and, furthermore, it feels as though the donuts only exist because of the lottery tickets and scratchers that they sell as those have a better selection than donuts. That said, I did purchase a donut from their meager selection in the afternoon. Not sure if that selection was limited by the time of day, or simply reflects all that they have but the donut was decent, I believe it was called a cinnamon crunch, but the remaining selection of donuts were a small collection of cake and old-fashioned. Still not sure why ice cream is listed in the name as the sign outside the business does not reflect that either. I went to purchase my donut only to learn that they only accept credit cards for purchases over three dollars. Good to know my donut was under three dollars, disappointing if you fail to bring cash they have a decent sized sitting area in the back behind the lottery section. Ironically, I feel as though it is more generous than the area used to sell their tickets and donuts, the attendant was neither nor cordial. Experience was less than memorable. The only reason I chose to do a review to help others avoid a similar disappointment. My final advice, walk across the street buy some box donuts from Grocery Outlet and you'll be similarly pleased.

Everything we've tried has been delicious! The brown sugar milk tea has been my least favorite, but was still good and the boba was very soft and nicely chewy.
