Rude guy. Cashier Didn’t even do eye contact and ignored my questions. They gotta hire people with respect and that listens to they’re costumers.

The staff is very friendly. I always get my usual and I love it every time. It smells divine in there. Next time you crave coffee, take a break from Starbucks and visit Viva Espresso Organics!

Love coffee?hate starbucks?in the area?then check this place out!they have pour over coffee which is so good and so smooth but i must admit that i am a sucker for their oaxacan mocha; its hot coffee, abuelita chocolate, milk (dairy free options available) and cinnamon. yum yum yum! want something cold and blended? get the dark oaxacan, same delicious ingredients topped with whipped cream. looking for something enjoyable thatll get you wired and ready to go in a few sips? get the cubanito. either way, youll have a great cup of deliciousness to get you going. a must stop.

Review №11

The worst almond latte I ever had - burnt milk and it was so weak I it didn’t even taste like there were any shots in it! Don’t waste your time/ money on this place. I stopped in on a road trip because I always like to support the local cafes rather than the typical Starbucks. Unfortunately, it was such a disappointment and I was already back on the road when I tried it so I basically dump it.

I ordered a coffee and apparently I ordered a “cold” beverage. I wanted the warm version of it and the lady working gave me attitude and said I had ordered a cold drink and if I wanted the warm version, I’d have to pay again. So I did - because I was given the drink I did not want. I shouldn’t have had to pay again. My drink should have been replaced. I didn’t even take the wrong drink home!

Review №20

The drinks are great. But the staff is rude. No smiles and they don’t greet. I always question my visit every time I want to go because the workers don’t make you feel welcome. That needs to be taken care of.

Stopped by while on a road trip, as I enjoy checking out the coffee scene everywhere I go. They have a wonderful selection of single-origin roasts for pour-overs, and very friendly staff. Relaxing vibe, and local artists featured on the walls! A neat find.

OK was Sunday morning and saw this cute coffee shop. Was very curious. Was I very surprised when I tasted the coffee. Great coffee mellow shop. Great place to drink organic coffee and milk with no growth hormones. Fair prices and a place to chill read relax or people watch. Will be back to taste other drinks.

Review №23

This place has some of the best coffee in Salinas. I‘m relatively familiar with all coffee shops here in town & this place seems to have the best vibe.Being a college student, interacting with other students who work there makes me feel welcomed. Workers are always nice & they offer honest advice about the coffees & other items.Variety of coffees isn’t as extensive as, say, Starbucks or The Cherry Bean, but what they have is really great stuff.

My father swears this place has the best coffee in Salinas. I didnt try the coffee, I had blueberry tea on ice. It was actually really good. My son had a hot chocolate and said it was one of the best hes ever had. Those are two strong opinions out of these men who dont normally give them. The staff was nice and the price was right. Id go again.

The coffee is delicious, prices are very good, and the staff is friendly. Creative drinks like the coffee mojito are unusual and exciting. I think my favorite thing though is the atmosphere. Students and others are working hard, studying, and making their future happen :)

Neat place. A bit small, limited seating. Variety of great Hot and Cold Drinks. Desserts available too. Inexpensive. Awso.e Art work decorating the walls, and plenty of parking space. As an added bonus if you get there at the right time you get a nice sunshine dude ti the Sun Set. Sweet Spot Cool Baristas and Quick service.🖒🖒🖒

The cubaito is the best! It is a quick pick-er-upper and not to mention the taste is to die for! This place has amazing local art pieces that I love to observe and take in while I drink my cubanito. Music is always chill and workers are always smiling and ready to help the next customer! Its a very friendly cafe to set meetings, study, or reflect on writing, art, and or self. Love this place!

Review №67

I thought I loved this place but they have really poor service. The ladies were so rude and messed up on my order and gave me attitude. They were to lazy to make a couple drinks . The drinks that were giving to me she gave a free one to a customer. Instead of giving them to me for messing up on my order she gave it to another customer. I believe this place needs better service. It makes me not want to come back at all .

YASSSSS GURL!!!I so totally love this place! I dont come here very often anymore since I work over on SoCal now. But let me tell you, their coffee will wake your soul right up!!! The coffee is so amazing and so is their customer service. Please try their Oaxacan Mocha, you will not regret it. The have so many other options but anything you order is here is delicious. Anywho put your phone down and go get yourself a delicious coffee!

I dont understand why people go to Starbucks in Salinas when there is this place! Best service, best iced coffee drinks and the best chai tea latte ive ever had. I love going in once in a while to study, read, and look at the art they put up made by local artists. My boyfriend and I once walked in on an open mic night they held there which was so awesome! Support your local stores!

Review №89

Its the only place to have organic coffee, that is the only thing that keeps this shop alive. The service Ive gotten here is a hit or miss depending on the cashiers of the day. Ive consistently gotten horrible service from the the two girl baristas. They mess up on drinks often bc of their chisme. They are short tempered and slow when making drinks. They are not welcoming and bc of this experience I will no longer be supporting their business. I hope someone else takes them out of business.
