This is a spacious coffee shop in a quaint block of Downtown Martinez. Locals come here to study and enjoy a nice coffee where there's tons of room to do so! I've always enjoyed their bottled cold brews and cortados. The decor gives me vintage-industrial modern vibes which suits the area very well. I've been frequenting this joint for years and their service & quality has been top-notch.
Love States Coffee both in Martinez and Benicia. The mocha is my favorite and all their baked goods are fantastic. You can have a wonderful walk down to the water in both towns. It’s a great way to connect with nature and relax.Highly recommend.
This place has been saved to my map for a hot minute and I was finally able to make a trip with the excuse of hosting a meetup. We ended up having 7 people total! Regardless, I ordered a hot latte (honey or vanilla, can't remember) and a slice of banana bread. $9. Yikes. So I ended up trading my hot for an iced with a friend and it tasted pretty good. After we were there chatting for a bit, I had my friend order me a cashew almond toast. It was so thick. The bread was a lot of chewing action. A lot. The cashew butter was runny but at the same time also thick. It tasted good but we didn't finish it which sucks because that was also expensive. Aesthetically it was a nice place but still came off a little pretentious? I definitely don't want to pay for a tiny coffee and banana bread for $9 again. I could buy an entire loaf and bag of beans for that much tbh. Service as really nice and there were plenty of places to sit. The layout is really weird.
A posh coffee hotspot which is predictably overpriced. A 12 ounce Chai is 5.50. It was decent but tasted watered down. I have had better at two other establishments in Martinez.
Great service, fantastic bakery. Loved the savory scone, the financier was to die for, and the baguette was a treat.One note to staff: please learn to make tea. Scalding water ruins any kind of tea. And the advice to steep dragon well for 5 minutes is just wrong. The lovely leaves you sell are turned into a horrible bitter brew this way.
States is easily the best coffee shop in the Bay. The employees, environment, coffee, and wifi are all top notch. Would highly recommend this over the Starbucks next door ANY day.
Long line on weekend morning. Seating has ridiculous bar across dividing the place in 2. Staff gave a hard time for not waiting in line again for a refill on my black coffee. I had no idea I should wait in the long line again! They should revisit that policy. They didn't have what I wanted to order. What the did have was great. Cranberry toast.
Cute spot and delicious coffee, but most of the time is close even in the webpage say Open, to bad. I drove from Berkeley to get some bread and alway is close before the time they post on website. I suggest to call before you plan to get there.
Crazy expensive! Only one size available… tiny!I guess they can’t have a large because it would probably be $15 a cup.
Had their *polular* vanilla latté and decaf mocha today. Both drinks were quite horrible to say the least. Latte tasted of burnt coffee beans and I asked for it to be made with almond milk - it tasted like it was made with whole milk. Next, the mocha - that tasted straight like mud. Lastly, I asked for both drinks to be made with latté art. I like my drinks not only tasting great, but also looking pretty / esthetically pleasing. The attempt was made by the barista(s), however both drinks were covered with lids. I mean what the hell is the point to do art if you will immediately cover both cups filled to the very top it with lids? Of course the art will be smeared and smudged. Anyway, long story short - do not recommend this place unless you want underwhelming esthetics and subpar taste for a premium price tag.
