Nice place for a coffee and a beer! Good pastries. They had open mic night on Friday. Good beer. Except when they want you to leave at the end of the night they want you out asap and theyre not nice about it.

My go-to café in my hometown! Do I find myself missing my usual order of oat vanilla latte even if I now live abroad? Yes. I can’t wait for a visit back to stop by.Drinks, service, and pastries are immaculate.Support your local businesses.

This place has a variety of coffee drinks and teas. They also offer delicious cookies and other baked goods. I would recommend their specialty drinks. The customer service is outstanding. I would definitely recommend you get your coffee fix from this establishment.

Great place for a quick pitstop in downtown Salinas. Friendly personal with the great morning brews suggestions makes you feel homey.Open during the pandemic with outside seating. The only caveat is the restrooms are closed as per CDC orders.Enjoyed and will be back for more pleasant experience.Thank you.

Great coffee. Cool atmosphere and they were very friendly.

Great organic coffee shop! Its got a Cool trendy vibe with fantastic tasting organic coffee and thee best baked goods of all coffee shops around! Hip music plays throughout as you wait for your coffee to go! Bc its Take out only due to the mandate!

Too bad that I didn’t get any pictures. But the coffee was wonderful!! I had the white mocha espresso with Soy milk. Employees were friendly and plenty of space to sit and work on my laptop.

Super friendly staff, really great environment. Coffee and tea is delicious. My fur babies enjoy theyre puppuccinos.

Cappuccino was scalding hot. I severely burned my mouth, seriously didnt know you could heat milk to that degree. On top of that the coffee tasted bitter. Iced matcha was good. Used the ice when my mouth was burned.

Nice vibe and great ambience day time or night time.......with an assorted array of micro beers and delicious coffee to choice fromGood place to take a break and catch up with friends or make new ones!

Locally owned. Their Mexican Mocha is the best.

Every drink is fantastic. Service is always so nice. Definitely a fav

Solid beer,coffee, and pastries. Good atmosphere and live shows, I’ve just had WiFi issues when I’ve gone to try and get some work done.

Stopped by Sunday afternoon. Staff is helpful fun atmosphere. Great beer and coffee.

I really like this place. Great coffee and a comfortable environment. Prior to COVID they had good live music. Staff has been very friendly and efficient each time Ive gone. I havent tried their beer yet, so cant say much about that.

Owners were very cool. Good vibes and the hospitality was great. The Mexican Mocha is a MUST! 😋👍🏼

Perfect 101 pitstop. Get the dulce frappe!

My favorite coffee shop in town !! Really recommend!! Great vibe! Relaxing place/environment! Friendly staff!

My favorite local coffee shop. So many different styles and flavors. The staff are pretty nice as well :)

Dog friendly, lovely atmosphere, and delicious coffee. Cant go wrong!

Like their Mexican Mocha and atmosphere

Great coffee! Cool setting

Great coffee, nice vibe. This was just a drive by stop, but I loved the vibe. The barista was super nice.

Another coffee shop with Pleasant atmosphere. Staff is friendly.

I love this place! So hip and trendy and drinks are delicious. Customer service is top notch. Can’t wait to be back!

Excellent choice as they have friendly service, a nice vibe and excellent coffee. I had the White Mocha topped with whipped cream and shared the Lemon Poppyseed Pound Cake. So delish and so good, I was able to satisfy my cravings. Will definitely return on future visits to Salinas.

Yummy place I get the vanilla bean not much of a coffee or beer drinker love its open late not much in Salinas open late too!

Not at all bad. Probably 4.4 stars, just for coffee and pastries - not rating beer offerings.

Such a cute place and the coffee is sooooo good

I go here all the time. The pastries are pretty good try the almond croissant if they have any left.

My favorite place down town. Great customer service, skilled baristas, and fantastic quality.

Cant wait till this pandemic comes to an end to truly appreciate this place! A coffee shop that offers on tap craft beers, the best of both worlds, gourmet coffee and craft beer. Obviously this place offers so much like a small stage for live music, cool ambiance and a friendly staff.

Really cool staff and great concept of purpose.

Pretty girls making you coffee first thing in the morning 🤣🤗😄😍

Love this place! Very unique and delicious coffee! I come here for the horchata frappe and it never fails to amaze me!

Cute and cozy coffee shop

I love this place. Top to bottom, best place in Salinas to get coffee, beer, and listen to some tunes

Love this place!!!! The cookies are to dye for! Super yummy!

Just had a regular coffee and a white mocha. Both were okay. Did not try any food or pastries. Will try again sometime

Great service and some good brew.

Bomb! Love the atmosphere and wonderful staff. Bomb hot drinks and beer 🤙

The staff are friendly and accommodating, I like the live music every Fridays and Saturdays, the coffee are awesome and also the craft beers from different breweries here in Monterey.

Without a doubt my favorite coffee place. Hipster decoration, aged wood, old looking led lights. There is outside seating, and it is usually not too busy except for peak hours.That staff is really friendly and their coffee is delightful.They also have an instagram to show off their new specials and any events that might be going o .

Best coffee shop in old town. Definitely recommend a stop for a Mexican Mocha and freshly baked pastries.

Excellent coffee - hazelnut latte is very smooth and just the right amount of flavor.

Trendy place to get coffee and beer. Went there to get vegan donuts at a pop-up event and ordered some hot chocolate beforehand. Was not disappointed 👌. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys trendy locations and delicious coffee and food

👍

This is a cool place! The local microbrews are awesome, the coffees top of the line !the ambiance first class.6l*s!!

So good!

The espresso shots are great and just love the overall taste of the coffee

Always greeted with a smile! I love that they know me by name and know my order better than I do. They are also creative and give great suggestions if I want to try something new. Its my daily go to.

Clean, friendly staff, and great coffee.

Chill little coffee shop with super friendly staff. Sandra is a sweetheart and the drip coffee is on point

Love this place! Love the coffee, the staff and the vibe. Plus the schwag they have for sale is too cool to not buy!

Great service, very friendly and served my drink quickly. The atmosphere is very welcoming and I find it a cozy place to hang out and work.Sometimes they have live music Friday and Saturday nights, usually local musicians.

I knew I needed to go to the Beerded Bean when I saw photos of the industrial decor . It is such a cool place on a cute street in Salinas. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the latte I had was so good I almost ordered a second one for the road. Clean bathrooms, too!

Did an almond latte taste off between The Beerded Bean and Cherry Bean. Hands down the winner was the Beerded Bean. I also enjoyed the chocolate chip scone which was gigantic and delicious.

Solid coffee, really nice atmosphere

It is a cool.place to hang out and be with friends ds hard to have conversations when the bands were there

Vanilla Latte with 2 shots was very good.

Great organic, fair trade coffee sourced from a roaster in Oakland. Their beer selection is awesome too! Their service and employees are informative, nice, and super helpful

I didnt expect to pay for a coffee a lot.

Amazing place with amazing coffee and amazing customer service !

Friendly, good atmosphere.

Great, friendly service. Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Place is just chill. I love it here!

Great customer service! Super friendly staff. The pastries were delicious!

Great customer service and a great atmosphere. The barista was great at accommodating my requests. Definitely worth a visit for a quick sit down or for bringing a laptop to get work done.

Good spot for a beer and coffee

Awesome. Cool new-age vibes. 👌

Great staff, coffee and the raspberry oat bars are heaven!

Brewtein Caffeinated Protein Shake is 🔥.

Friendly and helpful staff. Cool coffee shop with a great vibe. Soon they will be selling beer as well. Best of both Brews, great idea!

I love coming in here! Service is awesome, the coffee is amazing, and the atmosphere is just fantastic. Love their selection of pastries.

Never burn out white mocha. Fast service and good coffee. Love the environment too.

Good beer, tasty treats

Best Mexican Mocha (hot or frappe). Nice ambiance. Music in the PM and weekends

I am very impressed with The Bearded Bean. Great coffee, friendly staff, and nicely remodeled, with live music on the weekends.Soon theyll be offering craft beers and local wines. A great Old Town venue

Cozy place, friendly staff, amazing selections! And they are adding more! (With beer coming soon!!)Recommend this place above all other coffee places in the city!

Friendly family environment. Love the atmosphere, the smell and the taste of the coffee. Will no longer spend my money on Starbucks, we support local and are glad this shop opened up.

Awesome coffee.I had the Mexican Mocha with Chocolate and Whipped Cream.Very inviting atmosphere.Staff provided excellent customer service.

Best coffee in town and the service is amazing!

This is the coffee shop that every town needs. Its the type of place where you can sit for hours without being bothered aside from people saying hello to you. The vibe is mellow and theres always great music playing. Ive had the Mexican mocha and the Nutella frappuccino and recommend both. Basically you want to go back the second you leave. Everyone needs to support this local business!

New hotspot for me, I love their coffee.

Cute place and great people. They are accomodating and have incredible protein shakes!

Beautiful setting, staff was super friendly. We waited about 3-4 minutes for our beverages(which is not long at all!) and they even had the courtesy to apologize for the long wait. I order the Dulce de Leche frap which I recommend. First time there and definitely coming back! So happy we finally have a good coffee shop in Salinas

I love cofffeeeeeeeeee!

Great spot. Great workers. Delicious coffee. Thanks guys!

So far the beerded bean is amazing . My first mexican mocha frappe had me hooked, and i think ive only had one other drink since but its enough to keep me a (sort ) of regular customer, i have yet to try the beer variety but i will soon enough

Ernest is a great man that helped me today that can do it all at the beerded bean.

Great place.

Best coffee ever. I love doing homework here, great atmosphere and super nice amd personable staff.

I had the lemon spring cold brew. Sooooo good!

They have beer now! Very limited selection but still great.

Great atmosphere! They dont have a huge selection of beer, but I appreciated that its local and the vibe definitely makes up for it!

Atmosphere is great. People are friendly. Beverages & food tasty

Without a doubt my favorite coffee in Monterey county! I used to get my fix at their stand at the Monterey Farmers market, not even mad I have to come out to Salinas for my fix now. if you go to Starbucks when you could have come here you should be ashamed of yourself.

This place is honestly so cool and delicious! It has kind of a younger, modern vibe (which Salinas desperatley needed) and great drinks. My favorite is the mexican mocha frappucino, soooo good! They dont charge extra for milk substitutions, but they are a little higher priced than Starbucks. But still, its great to support local businesses, and they use eco friendly paper straws (they also sell metal straws and other great merch).

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean environment, clean bathroom. Oh...AND delicious Mexican Mocha!!!

Better than their branch on Cannery Row: The Bearded Clam.

Awesome place. Totally stands out in downtown Salinas in the best way possible.
