Black coffee pour over was like heaven on earth. Freshly roasted. The veggie omelet was also very good. It's served in a paper cup and isn't very big. Piping hot and good. Seating is limited and outdoors. It's on a busy road so not too relaxing. Kind of a bummer. There are no prices on the menu. First place I've ever been to like that. They just tell you what you owe. (We think a cup of coffee is about $5. Worth it) Anyway definitely go if you're in the area. PS the employees were super friendly on our three visits.

The barista is still yelling at the paying customers. I was yelled at last week. Maybe the barista needs to get own hearing check and may need a hearing aid? The owner could try purchase a roll of sticky grey 3 inch wide tape that is so sticky it will stay in place until the tape is removed as a form of behavior modification. The barista was incredibly rude and quite nasty tempered. I was polite. I wasn't screaming at the barista there at all. I would encourage every patron start the day off teaching the barista a lesson that may change the barista into be a little more appropriate. The barista is to experience a 6 month restriction or the owner to fire the barista outright. The best way, place the barista on restriction and restrict the tips to one copper penny and not any other money, coins or dollars to be the tip. From now on the only tip paid to the barista is just 1 copper penny. The ambiance needs working on inside barrelista coffee house.

I was a little disappointed because I had my heart set on an everything bagel but there wasn't very many bagels to choose from at around 12pm. They only had a few sesame, plain and 1 sweet bagel. I ordered the nova lox on a plain bagel to go. If the lox had been fresh it would have been a tasty lunch and they were very generous with the ingredients but unfortunately the salmon was bad. I took one bite and had to spit it out. They gave me a refund without any hesitation and they were extremely friendly. I would try this place again but not the lox.

I ordered a roasted oolong milk tea with stir fried boba and one of their matcha drinks. Both of the drinks left a weird residue/aftertaste like there was a lot of sugar. I did order both drinks at least one level sweetness down. The tea tastes were not very strong for both drinks. Boba didn't seem very fresh/stir fried as I would have expected. Service was fine. The shop looked clean. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back for their drinks.

I think they're fairly new, the inside is nicely decorated, there's even a ball pit kids can go in to play, with no shoes on of course, and it's pretty big with plenty of seating. You have to self-order your drinks, using a kiosk. The worker was on his phone so not much interaction there other than him making the drink once the order was received and handing it to you. They have plenty of options for flavors, I ended up trying the Dubai Chocolate flavor, I was a bit disappointed as the photo showed brown, green in the middle and brown at the bottom as the final result of the drink when made, but when I got my drink it just looked like chocolate milk and it tasted like chocolate milk as well. It was underwhelming. I also paid $3.99 extra for this teddy bear cup! I wish the cup was something they gave already without paying extra for it. Aside from drinks they also sell donuts of all flavors. I was tempted but did not buy one. Overall, I will be coming back, I'm curious to try other flavors and try a donut.

4++ Farmers market that pops up in the Downtown Martinez area on Sundays I believe…read more While the market isn't huge, there's a really good selection of produce purveyors along with some eateries, some bakeries, and some general vendors. This farmers market as a small town charm to it and every person I interacted with was friendly. I was in the area because I crashed at a buddy's house the night before. When I was leaving the area, I saw this place and wanted to check it out. Keep in mind it was around the holidays and it was drizzling a bit that Sunday, so I'm not sure if it affected the amount of vendors present as this was my first time visiting. I ended up getting some enchiladas to go from one of the vendors selling Mexican food and a loaf of quinoa bread from one of the bakers (West Won Bread out of Napa). The food was good and the quinoa loaf was amazing and enjoyed by my parents and I later on when we served with some stew. Would love to re-visit with better weather conditions and different parts of the year. But definitely an enjoyable market based on my first visit.

Ridiculous because Safeway has a scan badge they can scan for customers.

Instead of being able to sign up at checkout they said I had to do it through a QR code. I don't know if they can't do it at the register or what but I ended up paying more than I expected. I don't know if it was because they only had two lanes open and they were busy, but I feel like I should be able to sign up for their rewards at the register.
