I'm so glad I found Sahara Yemini Coffee! As soon as I walked in, I knew it would be a special visit. I was greeted by one of the baristas as I entered, they were busy, with most of the tables occupied by customers but they made sure to welcome me right away! I told them what I was looking for and they recommended their Iced Pistachio latte and I added a sweet foam on top. The drink is DELICIOUS! I'll be back again to try their Coconut Latte and try also have Spanish lattes, one of my favorite got to iced coffee drinks. Their bakery display looked too beautiful to now l not take home a sweet treat, or two... so Ib ordered the Cinnamon Sugar and the Chocolate Nutella for my friend. I met both owners this evening, one made MY PERFECT COFFEE, and the other, her name I did catch, it is May. She was working in the corner of the dining room amongst her guests, working on her laptop. The decor and atmosphere is BEAUTIFUL. They put care into every detail, and I can see why they had a full house this evening! If you're on the area, or have lived here forever and NEVER tried their drinks and bakery items, I highly recommend them!

I'm back! I finally…read moremade it in on a weekend morning. I wanted to try the Chilaqueles and they are the bomb.com!!! They serve them on Friday and Saturday mornings only, and the sauce is nice and spicy, there's a over medium egg on top, and fresh avocado and crema... so good, it's like your gramma made it, if she can throw down in the kitchen! I enjoyed an iced cafe con leche, with a foam top, it was was a perfect way to start my #SelfCareSaturday I get so much work done here when I am in town, it is definitely a special hidden treasure on Main Street. I always try to support local family owned businesses wherever I go. Shout out to Valeria for checking me in and kindly bringing out my drink to my table today, Bobby for the above and beyond customer service as always. I was sitting outside of the cafe and he brought my meal out to me... so kind. And today's chefs that made the best chilequeles, Lety and Yose! It takes a team and this team is the best in the coffee and food service hospitality industry, in my humble opinion of course.

So glad I was able to try The Sweet Life when I was in the area…read more The drinks are great, I tried the Sweet Iced Latte and a blue raspberry Italian soda. They were both amazing! The Sweet Iced Latte was my favorite with the perfect amount of sweetness. I tried the cupcakes which are soo cute but I did think they were a little dry. Inside is cute and I was pleasantly surprised to see the shelf of chip selection, Flamin everything - my favorite haha. The service was great as well. The barista was very knowledgeable and informed me on the best drinks. Definitely recommend stopping by for the latte if you're in the area!

Pleasant decor, right now they have all fall decor so I appreciate the little details they put into their space. I adore the fact that they have seasonal menus, that's what keeps customers coming back throughout the months. I highly recommend the Corncito latte while they have it! Truly unique and I've never seen another coffee shop have a corn bread inspired drink, yuuum! Pastries are also all fresh and offer a variety of choice of traditional treats and seasonal. Worth the visit!!

I've gotten coffee here 3 different times since they opened. It is nice to have a new stylish cafe…read morein the Turlock area. Located in the heart of downtown, spacious, and very well decorated inside. A very comfortable space to sit relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, or Matcha for some, and some delicious pastries. All the different style coffees I've had have been great and their pastries are very tasty, and they have a great variety to choose from. I believe they change it up because each time I've gone they had some different selections, I may be wrong so don't quote me. They also have a hot breakfast sandwich menu. All the workers are friendly and helpful with any questions you may have about the menu. I see myself coming to this cafe many more times.

This was my second time at Jantz, and if you are a fan of all things breakfast and brunch in the 209, this place is solid. The cafe makes delicious coffee/lattes, lots of seasonal options which were cool to see. The prices match the portion size, and honestly most meals I've gotten could've been two small meals within one. On my last visit, I got the 3-meat omelette and there was no shortage of meat. All the protein I could ever want, and tasty too. The only thing I didn't like was their breakfast potatoes. Not much flavor and needs to be crispier to me. If you are looking for something sweet, the cinnamon roll is a great choice. Overall, great for breakfast and for small and large groups. The service is always kind and friendly. Definitely a family-run spot that's worth checking out if you are in the area.

My friend and I were looking for a place halfway to meet. I found these guys on Yelp. Great reviews so I thought we would give it a try. It is a treasure! The place is cute. It's comfy with good oldies playing in the background. The food was amazing and seasoned perfectly. Their Portuguese beans is a family recipe and the best beans I have ever tasted. Biscuits and gravy was delicious. They are homemade and you can taste the love in it. We had the tri tip and like everything else - blown away how tender and flavorful it was. When in Merced, Stop by!! You will be glad you did!!
