They have a lot of different teas here, and they can brew it for you or you can buy it dry too.

The tea-risitas are great, friendly, and help suggest nice drinks based on a few simple questions. A few tables nearby to work if you’re not a bar person, but the stools and main area are nice enough to make time fly while sipping. If you need a switch up from coffee, give this place a try.

An actual tea bar! With actual good stuff!
Great selection, lovely seating and vibe, very tasty tea. Relaxing to sit and sip. Love this place, will go back.
Service is so helpful and knowledgeable, and excited about what's in store. So relaxing to sit and read or work. Probably my favorite place in the salinas valley. So glad to see it getting the visitation it deserves! Crazy it's been around for over a decade, and somehow keeps a low profile. Absolutely adore this place.

The teas here are always good. This is Princess Peach, flavor is not strong more of a light fruity taste but really good with 7 pumps of honey if you want it sweet but not overly sweet 😋

I've been coming to Gold Leaf Spice & Teas for years and I feel that they have more than earned a review. I come here at least 1 or 2 times a week not only due to the fact that they make the best tea out of any place I've ever been to but because I have not once had a bad experience with the staff out of the at least 100 times I've stopped by. It's the consistency in tea taste and friendliness of the staff that keeps me coming back. I have and will continue to recommend this place to anyone who has the desire to find a great tea spot, just be warned: you won't want to go anywhere else after trying a few teas here.

Really strong and flavorful turmeric latte! Just a note that the default seems to be cold, so consider mentioning in advance if you want it cold or hot.

So many kinds of tea! If I was a local I would definitely be a regular here

If you're a tea lover and are looking for a place that really understands tea--and has an enormous collection of teas--you must check out Gold Leaf. Also the servers really know their stuff about all the teas available.

They have a lot of different teas here and they can brew it for you or you can buy it dry too. The flavor is really nice and the employees are very friendly too. I look forward to coming back here when I'm in Salinas again.

It was my first time to this place. Immediately the feeling I got once I entered was welcomed. I came in on a rainy day so the atmosphere was something I had only seen in those movies. I'm sure you know which movies I mean, kinda like romance or such. The hospitality was amazing and watching the baristas work was part of the experience for me, watching them make these tea creations. The decor and music was easy on my senses, and the smells were heaven. I can't wait to go back.
