Near a University so you typically get some students, teachers, and neighborhood locals. Depending on the time of day (normally lunchtime) Parking can is a major challenge. Look around the back of the plaza if the front is take up. But the most unique thing I like about this place is the way they make the coffee. Rather than syrups they use real ingredients, it make the taste of the coffee much much better. Don't believe me, try it, then go try Starbucks or a big chain.

Visited Stockton for the first time in a while and tried to go to my favorite coffee shop, which…read morewas now permanently closed. This ended up in my favor, as I checked Yelp and saw a new coffee shop was opened right in my old neighborhood. It has great ratings, and I decided to stop in. The owner was working and he was super friendly. He explained the style of coffee with a specialty filtering process and a bit about the menu. He recommended a medium blend, and whipped me up a delightful coffee. I had never experienced this special filtering method but the coffee was smooth and well balanced. It was delightful. If I still lived nearby this place would be a regular stop. Clean, modern interior with nice bright windows, friendly staff, and excellent coffee. Definitely stop in and show this local business some love. The owner is really polite and has great products.

Found this spot on Yelp, and the photos of coffee and food drew me in. It's cute little spot tucked…read moreinto a small shopping strip with other small local businesses. Parking is street-only, but I was lucky enough to find a spot right in front. FOOD I was expecting a larger food menu, but they only offer 1-2 rotating items for the day/week. I saw their lox bagel from photos and I was bummed they didn't have it that day so I ended up ordering the bagel sandwich (cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber) and a breakfast burrito. Both were decent, though the bagel could've definitely used more cream cheese. 3.8/5 DRINKS Ube White Mocha - 3.8/5: The flavor was there, but it could've used more coffee. Vanilla Latte - 3.8/5: Solid and enjoyable. My overall rating leans closer to a 3.8 mainly because the service was slow and my drink order was initially messed up. The barista did correct it and even let me keep the extra drink, which I appreciated. However, I was also accidentally charged twice and had to get that adjusted. Overall, it's still a nice place to stop by for coffee, and I'd be open to giving it another try.

I purchased a large vanilla latte with oak milk. Nothing fancy but it did taste how it was supposed to. As far as customer service there wasn't much interaction outside of me placing my order. But I will definitely try this place again.

Montea is my 2nd favorite spot in Stockton! I've been looking for a new drink/boba spot in Stockton…read moreand i'm so glad that my brother-in-law introduced me to Montea! If you love plants and aesthetically pleasing vibes then this store is for you! The owner was really sweet, friendly, and nice. She was also accomodating as well. Because I was visiting family in Stockton this store reminded me of SoCal and how SoCal has plant lovers too!! Mango Sago: I love sago so much that sago must be a hit because the store was out of it! Because sago was sold out I got boba instead and the drink was amazing!!! It also had cheese foam in it as well but I will ask for no cheese foam or maybe a different flavor foam bc I wasn't really feeling it. Little pancakes with chocolate filling and creme brulee as a dip: A M A Z I N G! CHEF'S KISSES! Will come back here again in July 2026 !!

Yes, the drinks were pretty. My friend and I sat close to the counter and each one was hand crafted with care. The decor was so relaxing as if nature had been brought inside. Loved the ambiance! The biggest highlight was when one of the owners came out to greet us and thank us for our business. I felt so at home. She took the time to share how her business was named and some challenges that happened along the way. I watched as regulars came in to order including a police officer who they knew by name. Love the community that I witnessed in this small boba shop with such a big heart.

Everything feels pretty expensive. 2 drinks for $20. Woah!! Starbucks and Dutch are cheaper.... * Service could definitely be friendlier. If you ask staff a question, they are short or not knowledgeable of menu items. Smile a bit! Say hello.... * Ventilation seems lacking, which could be uncomfortable during really hot or cold days * Drink quality is not what it used to be. Needs improvement....

The ambiance is lovely here, tons of seating and great place to work! Which is what people do at…read morecafes (I don't understand the reviews complaining about the seating being full of people reading or hanging out). However, the quality of the food and drinks is NOT worth the price. The baristas couldn't tell us much anything about the beans they were using and the store relies mostly on cold foams and Torani syrups for flavors, which is totally fine! There's a market for that- just don't expect specialty coffee here. I wouldn't recommend ANY food besides maybe pastries. Extremely dry and zero flavor. I'm sorry this is so mean but the avocado toast is actually pitiful. You will pay $15+ for a BARELY seasoned avocado, powdered egg (?), tiny thin slice of bread, with two brown strips of bacon on it that you could make better at home (i'm so sorry but it is true). Similar with the breakfast sandwiches. Payed $50 for 2 drinks and 2 breakfast items that were essentially dutch bros quality. TLDR: Worth it if you want to hang out for the lovely seating and ambiance, just be aware that that is what you are paying for- not necessarily the quality of what your will be eating/drinking. Very yummy drinks! Just they just lean sweet. Do not buy food aside from pastries lol.

I love empresso for studying! The drinks and food are…read moregreat. My go to is the caramella with soy milk or a dirty chai with soy chai. I'm newer into drinking coffee but I constantly crave those two drinks. I also enjoy their sandwiches & paninis as well. The service is always great and so are the suggestions from the workers. It does get a little busier with all the foot traffic so if you want a quieter space to study I would recommend going in the mornings.

Food: The food is awesome, they have paninis and breakfast sandwiches options. Coffee/Drinks: I have tried almost all of their coffee menu options and none of them have disappointed. Our favorite go-to drink is the Hot chocolate. They serve it in a ceramic mug when you ask for it, and it has a delicious, eye appealing appearance. Ambiance: since it is close to SJDC campus and UOP there often many students doing they school work, and group projects. Quite fun to spend time with people going after their careers and dreams. It can get loud at times, so if you don't mind the noise this is a great place to come and enjoy this place. Baristas/ staff: they are always nice and they go the extra mile to memorize your face and possibly your name. Weekends/ Late afternoons: there is a patio at the front of the coffee shop which has plenty of spa ce to have a seat and enjoy artist who are practicing and sharing their music and art talents. They arrive beer and the smell of smoke can get a little ov

Location: I LOVE the little coffee place right at a comer of the shopping center. It is visible once you turn N. Don street. Drive-thru: convenient and barista has always been on top of the game. As soon as I pull up to the menu section, she welcomes me and is ready to take the order. Staff: baristas have always been super attentive and have always answered any questions that come across. Loyalty system: I believe they have the loyalty point, only 2 baristas have asked me for my phone number to get the points from my purchase. I tend to be a bit shy, so I do shy away a little when it comes to asking to get the points from my purchase. Coffee: I have tried a variety of their options and so far I have not been disappointed. Love the ratio between ice and coffee. The caramel macchiato is my boyfriend's favorite, which is a delicious little treat. My go to drink is a Iced-Vanilla-Latte and if I am feeling a bit tired I do ask for the extra espresso shot. The protein drinks are delicious, and one can't taste the protein in the drink, Great Job! Food / Pastries: their breakfast croissant was delicious. Perfectly warmed up and nicely packaged. I recently tried their cinnamon rolls and I will be ordering it again. It was nicely served with a fork and plenty of napkins, but it did not look nearly similar as the image in the menu. Love the ordering and serving time highly practical.

Also had the Brown Sugar Milk Tea: I'm all for a sweet drink but even this one was too sweet for me. The brown sugar syrupy sweetness makes this drink a little thicker than the regular milk teas.
