They took the time to make sure the package was safely sealed multiple times. I felt the need to share this on the review because a lot of business do not take the time to properly pack the food for deliveries like this shop did. I really appreciated it. Now on to the cookies, they were absolutely amazing! They were soft, fresh and HUGE! The shop was so kind they even included a small sampler of their minis! They were just as delicious and such a sweet surprise. I ordered oatmeal (my favorite), chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, mint chocolate chip,sprinkles, and white chocolate macadamia nut. I highly recommend this place. Some reviews talked about it being "pricey" but I honestly believe they are worth it.

Either they did not know how to prepare the drink and were buying time until they figured out how to make a Mexican mocha or honestly I have no clue what their issue was. 2 individuals came in after me and received their coffee order before I did and their only response to me when I asked when my order would be done was "soon" and yet again neither girl started working on the order .... Asked for a refund on my drink and the tip I gave for them not completing my order, this is why coffee shop should not be asking for tips, when the orders aren't even done because of individuals like the 2 girls who were behind the counter at Beered Bean.

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.

He got me strawberry shortcake, horchata, snickers, raspberry lemon, and a mystery flavor because the other ones I wanted were sold out. All the macarons were lacking in favor, some of them are stale,the snickers doesn't taste like snickers it only taste like peanut butter, the strawberry shortcake lacks on flavor, and the horchata has too much cinnamon and it was overwhelming. There was little to no filling to each of the macarons as well. Anyways, we give it a shot and didn't really like it very much. The only macaron my partner likes was the raspberry lemon.

This place is top notch. La creme de la creme. You can tell…read morethe bread is good as soon as you walk in because of the high temperature change compared to outside. That's because the ovens are literally running 24/7 to keep pumping out that bread. Trust me this bread is good. You can not find this bread anywhere in SJ. It's soft unlike a bunch of other places and they have more choices than baskin robins has ice cream flavors. One of the best things is the churros and those things run out quick. Sometimes you can run to the one across town and catch some of the churros. Highly recommend especially if this is your first time eating Mexican pan dulce. You gotta start off with the best in the business

And I luv pastries and baked goods especially if they're authentically fresh made from local bakeries not franchises. So even though we were on a time schedule, I made time to check out this place. So glad I did. Delicious baked items at reasonable prices. Right when I walked in, I was greeted by a young woman that had the best smile and attitude. She was super helpful. I chatted her up a bit and found out they opened in 2021 and it's a family business. The recipes are family recipes. Luv that! Also I had to ask about the prices, there are no prices marked for the baked goods. The case had cookies, cream pies (whole and slices), croissants, muffins, scones, cream puffs, eclairs, mini fruit tarts, cheesecake (whole and slices), and danishes. They all were just so gorgeous. Sitting so pretty in the case. We bought a carrot cake muffin, slice of banana cream pie, a Grandpa David's peanut butter cookie, and a chocolate chip cookie. The cashier packaged everything carefully and provided napkins and forks. The muffins were big, fat and hefty sized. The carrot cake muffin was moist but not so much that it fell apart. So darn good. The frosting was heavenly, not too sweet and just the prefect consistency. I devoured that right away in the car. While I was inhaling the muffin, Hubs scarfed down the banana cream pie slice. The cookies were nice "biggish" size. These cookies were moist, which I prefer over crisp crunchy ones. Grandma Dave's PB was one of the best PB cookies I've ever had. They are also have breakfast menu and lunch menu (burgers, sandwiches, and salads). The place is very small with few two person tables. It's more of takeout place.
