About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Salinas, Viva Espresso Organics is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a vibrant community hub where quality, flavor, and warmth come together in perfect harmony. This local gem on N Main St takes pride in its meticulously crafted coffee offerings, focusing on organic and sustainably sourced beans that deliver rich, nuanced flavors with every cup.

Their diverse pour-over selection, featuring varietals like Colombian, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and Mexican, invites coffee lovers on a flavorful journey across some of the world’s most celebrated coffee regions. For those craving something truly signature, the Oaxacan Mocha—a customer favorite—melds smooth chocolate notes with a delicate spice kick, creating a deeply satisfying and unique mocha experience. Other standout drinks include the Blanca Mocha, Dulce Canela, and a vibrant Cubanito, each crafted with precision and passion by attentive baristas who clearly love what they do.

Viva Espresso Organics doesn’t just specialize in beverages. Their menu extends to wholesome, organic breakfast options such as the Power Oatmeal and Banana Chocolate Oatmeal that taste as nourishing as they sound. Paired with freshly baked banana bread or a delicate macaron, your morning routine is elevated from ordinary to memorable. The eat-good philosophy here brings a refreshing authenticity that appeals to both health-conscious patrons and casual coffee drinkers alike.

Customers consistently rave about the inviting atmosphere and exceptional service. Marcy Sanchez captures it perfectly: "The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing, getting some work done, or catching up with a friend." This vibe is echoed by many who appreciate the cozy, welcoming environment that manages to feel both relaxed and uplifting. Whether you’re walking in for a quick espresso shot or lingering over an Irish Coffee, the staff’s kindness and efficiency never go unnoticed. Angela Storm shares how the team’s thoughtful touches—like holding your drink in the fridge if you’re running late—make each visit feel genuinely cared for.

What sets Viva Espresso Organics apart is not just the superior quality of coffee but the authentic connection it fosters. Customers like Kiara A appreciate the consistently high standards and fast service, while Karen Reyes sums up the experience best: “The Oaxaca mocha is one of the most delightful mochas I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and the place is very clean.” This is a coffee shop that respects its craft and its community, creating a space where every sip tells a story and every visit feels like a small, daily celebration.

In a sea of corporate chains, Viva Espresso Organics stands out as a beacon of genuine passion for coffee and organic goodness.

    The Oaxacan mocha is such a treat, high quality coffee, and fast service— a nice step from the usual corporate coffee shops and with a vibe that is welcoming— not like other indie coffee shops. The baristas are always nice and the coffee is consistent. A nice pits too before starting your day

    I love this place! It’s very near to home so I can easily walk here for my coffee. Normally I bring my birds on a walk here and the staff are always very kind and quick at their job, always delivering quickly and efficiently. They are even so kind to hold your drink in a fridge if you delay! I personally don’t normally like American coffee shops as I prefer coffee in Mexico since it doesn’t taste authentic, but Viva Espresso reminds me of such with its tasteful quality and strong flavor. If you want a delicious cheap in price yet organic and fair trade coffee, viva espresso is your place to go! I’ve enjoyed it for years and will continue to many more to come.

    I stopped by with my partner for some coffee without any expectations and it just blew me away. The Oaxaca mocha is one of the most delightful mochas I've ever had. The staff is super friendly and the place is very clean.
