All of their food is vegan! Absolutely beautiful building and such a friendly/ relaxed atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's so amazing to have a place like this in Salinas. They have a little bit of everything with their breakfast and lunch menu. Food is amazing and I you can watch them make your food fresh to order. They also support other local businesses with events you can find on their instagram. So happy to have this place around it's an absolute gem.

We arrived right at close (and didn’t realize it) but the owner was SO amazing and friendly. She took great care of us. We tried the Cafe de Olla - it was delicious. Iced coffee with cinnamon and raw sugar - a must try! We had a great experience and would highly recommend!

whether you’re just passing through or live here I could not recommend stopping here enough. From their delicious horchata to their empanadas you can’t go wrong. They have a lovely dining area and the ofrendas don’t go unnoticed i think it’s a great thing they are doing and though I wish they didn’t have to be it would be nice to see more places follow their lead. If i could give this more than 5stars i would.

Can’t believe Salinas finally has some amazing vegan options and it’s on my side of town! They even have great vegan breakfast options which is pretty rare. I highly recommend this place to anyone, vegan or not.

This is what I've been looking for in Salinas! Vegan, Latino coffee shop! The drinks are fire. Selena was playing in the background when I visited. A clean, open, airy space. Super friendly staff! I got the Matcha Horchata ( it was soooooo good!) The food was amazing! If you're looking for a nice place to chill on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Or a space to drink some nice coffee this is it. Plus, they have some awesome local artist merch in store to purchase. I'm so happy this place exist!
