    Do not recommend: milk tea
    Guadalupe P.

    Worst boba I have ever tasted. Not made with real ingredients. It's made out of powder. You can taste the powder when you sip. I bought 4 drinks didn't return them because I felt bad since it's a small business. Honestly the worst quality.

    Espresso boba large

    Would come back and try other items on the menu. Staff were very nice and friendly. Plenty of seating and quick service

    I'm an Executive in Sales and travel throughout Northern California and am always looking for a great Taro Boba. This is BY FAR one of the best I've tasted! They will gladly adjust your sweetness % to what you prefer. $5.49 Medium! $5.99 Large! They have fabulous deserts, as well!!

    I love the boba that i order here... it is not too sweet, refreshing especially in the summertime when you just need to quench your thirst. The boba is also nice and firm. I've never tried their buns but they definitely smell sooo good.

    Full of ice!
    Karina V.

    I tried their featured item and did not expect to have it full with ice! I asked the cashier that was way too much ice for the drink and she responded" that's how much ice my manager tells me to put" if that's true. What a rip off! I was so disappointed with my purchase. I spent $5.60! Almost $6 for a small cup of ice! Will not be returning to this place at all! Horrible customer service! When you go to Starbucks if the customer is not pleased with the drink they would make the adjustment not ignore them. So if you want to come pay for ice this is the perfect place! Drank 6-7 sips and was completely gone! If you're coming here make sure to ask for NO ICE! And expect awful service!

    This is the only decent milk tea place in Salinas. This Honey Berry is also way better than the one at the mall. Their milk tea is tasty and the boba is chewy. Their Cheese Roti bun is awesome!!! The place is clean and they social-distance. The only thing is that you can't substitute toppings in your drink. They can take toppings off but if you want to add toppings they will charge you more.

    Had been craving a boba for so long and when I finally got it I nearly choked on what seems to be a piece of a sponge

    Ohhhh yeaaahhh taro boba!

    Yum! Delicious boba drinks, good service, spacious & clean seating area. We came to Honey Berry for a late snack at around 9 in the evening. We were greeted by a smiling worker when we came in who was also helpful with ordering. Both the hubby and I ordered a blended taro drink with boba. I got the small, he ordered the large. The drink is as I expected - sweet, creamy, and icy. The boba balls were soft and slightly sweet. We also ordered the roti buns that I had seen here on Yelp. We had the cream cheese flavor and to be honest, it was not quite my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong, the bun is tasty - slightly sweet with that gooey cream cheese in the middle that gave the bun a little bit of sourness. The outside of the bun was crispy and buttery. Also, they warm the bun up when you order it. Overall, this is a great place for a boba drink that also serves gelato and other desserts. The inside is bright and clean, and the workers are sweet.

    two cups of iced coffee on a table

    Bought 2 same drinks and wasn't filled up to the top. I bought 2 large size drinks. See the picture below when these drinks are flipped. I love their drinks but management needs to check this. We pay the right amount and therefore, we need to get what we paid for.

    I so want to give this shop more stars but 3 stars is even pushing it.. When I first entered the aroma of the roti buns being baked was just heavenly... I didn't even think I was in Salinas. As we ordered the guy was not helpful in explaining the rotiburger to my friend.. Cause quite frankly I was not confused myself. And then he even messed up the order by adding something in the order that was strictly said not to be put in... Good thing my friend was not allergic to it. My friend said there was just too many things going on with the flavors that he couldn't enjoy it... I wasn't privileged to take a bite.. So I'll take his word for it... The roti buns were absolutely wonderful.. Thank goodness. I had the plain ones.. Sometimes simplicity is the best.. It was just like the ones in the city. My taro with pearls was alright.. The taro was definitely powder based at the end I can taste/feel the granules and the pearls was a bit over cooked to my liking. Would I come again?!... Just for the buns hun....

    Weird how your website says you guys close at "10pm" but I arrived exactly at 9:10pm and I also had called before hand to make sure, the cashier saw me standing outside the door walked away and said nothing like a "sorry we are closed" would have been respectful. The worst place to drive to and waste time.

    Milk tea (I think)

    The drink (boba)I got was not that great it had a weird after taste and didn't taste that good but I liked the place, very calming

    3 workers..talking about "that guy".

    We loved Coffee Shack so much that we came back twice during our visit--and both experiences were…read morejust as amazing as the first. What really stood out was how accommodating they were for different dietary needs. I'm allergic to dairy, one of my friends is vegan, and another has no dietary restrictions, yet every single one of us found drinks and food we absolutely loved. The Nutty Treat Latte was outstanding. I ordered it with toffee instead of macadamia nut, and it was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The toffee flavor added a warm caramel sweetness without being overpowering, making it feel like a comforting treat in a cup. My friend's flat white was beautifully crafted, with a velvety texture and bold espresso flavor that wasn't bitter. The classic latte was equally impressive--creamy, smooth, and showcasing the quality of the coffee itself. We also tried the blueberry pancake, which was incredible. It was fluffy and tender with bursts of sweet blueberries throughout, making it feel both indulgent and homemade. We sampled several other menu items as well, and every single one was delicious. Nothing felt like an afterthought; everything was prepared with care and attention to flavor. What impressed us most was the consistency. Coming back a second time can sometimes be disappointing when the first visit sets high expectations, but Coffee Shack delivered again. The drinks were just as good, the food was just as fresh, and the service was just as welcoming. Whether you have dietary restrictions or can enjoy anything on the menu, Coffee Shack does an exceptional job creating delicious options for everyone. It's rare to find a place where every person in your group leaves happy, but Coffee Shack managed exactly that. We can't wait to come back again.

    Driving in, it's a nice cute shack. They have two lanes you can drive in. Their menu is on the wall…read moreor you can order on their website. Being my first time, I asked the girl working what most people order in terms of iced lattes. She suggested the brown butter latte. Super nice and patient. I got my brown butter latte with soy milk (I'm lactose). It was okay. It wasn't too sweet nor bitter. If I go back, I'd probably want to try something else. I heard also on the holidays they do holiday drinks so maybe I'll go back during those times.

    Fresh Donuts Anytime! I got the salted brown butter. Imagine a glazed donut with a rich brown…read morebutter glaze and pinch of salt. Kind of like the name implies lol. Went back the next day with my friends and we tried a few more. Lavender donut is not for me but was actually delicious and it's the only time I could say a positive thing about an after taste. It's a sweet glaze with lavender flavor. Our friends got beignets and wouldn't stop talking about how they made the best choice, so I'd say that is a solid choice as well.

    Absolutely overhyped. After seeing all the attention this place gets, especially on Instagram and…read moresocial media, I expected a seriously good donut. Unfortunately, I don't understand the hype at all. I've had fantastic donuts from plenty of places, and these simply aren't in that category. To me, it tasted like a pretty basic donut covered with an excessive amount of sugary toppings and glaze. Instead of tasting fresh, balanced, and flavorful, the sweetness completely overwhelmed everything else. I couldn't even finish mine. It was so overly sweet that I actually felt sick afterward. Maybe this style of donut works for people who love extremely sweet desserts, but it definitely wasn't for me. This feels like another place that became popular because it photographs well and gets pushed heavily on social media rather than because the food is exceptional. If you take away the hype, I just don't see anything particularly special about the donuts. Definitely a one-and-done experience for me. I wouldn't buy another donut here, and there are far better donut shops that I'd spend my money at.
