Cherry Bean Coffee Roasting Co.

The coffee is great and the manager was friendly. They have a wide variety of milk alternatives -- Oat, Almond, Coconut, and Soy -- for 75¢. Their beans are roasted in-house. The prices overall aren't any more than That Big Coffee Chain, and the product and service are 100% more personal. Plus, they have a shelf full of $1 books to support the local public library.

I used to go to a different coffee shop but my choice of Mexican mochas were never consistent then I decided to try the Cherry Bean coffee Cafe I have been hooked ever since to the point where I have to look for change just to get a cup of coffee because it's that good lol🤣🤣. The owner is great very professional and when someone recognizes you on a daily basis and just asks how your morning is with a hello or good morning is very refreshing. Staff is great I have no complaints.

Love this coffee shop! A place you can enjoy a cup of joe while you read a book or just simply have a conversation! The staff is amazing, they know you by your first name (if you are a frequent customer). And did I mention Best coffee!

By far the freshest roasted coffee and biggest selection of single origins & blends. Prices are competitive- better than those in bigger cities and equal to lesser-quality beans sold elsewhere.

Nice staff and pet friendly too.

Todd and his staff are amazing...best beans in Salinas

Small, local (local to Salinas) coffee shop. In addition to coffee and espressos, they also offer baked goods like coffee cake and bagels. They also have limited side walk seating. Great ambiance.

Friendly staff, great selection of drinks and snacks, relaxing atmosphere. According to the staff, weekdays at noon can be pretty busy, so get in early or later to avoid the rush.

As soon as I learn how to read I'll be back. (I thought I was reviewing a pizzeria in my original post) Obviously the Cherry Bean is my favorite spot with an attentive and pleasant staff and convenient local. The coffee is good too!

Have been going here for years. Their smoothies are great. My biggest complaint is the current staff. One of the staff member's refused to let me use the bathroom bc they were closing in 10 min. I don't care if u customer just came before closing you don't prevent them from using the restroom. It's called good customer service. If the owner is reading this then I want to tell you I want to continue to give you my business. But this isn't how your staff should be treating your customers.

I wish I'd gone to Starbucks instead. I do like "local/independent coffee" but this isn't worth it. The clientele is insufferable. The staff was awkward & borderline hostile. The seats are uncomfortable. My drink wasn't announced. The atmosphere is terrible.
