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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stockton Coffee has been my almost everyday stop before start driving to work. If you commute…read moredistances of +45 mins south sound on weekdays, you know how traffic is always a surprise. 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.

We've been here twice now and have mixed feelings…read more Our first visit, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Sundae, fruit tea, and popcorn chicken. The Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was delicious and definitely the highlight. It was our first time trying it, but it was pretty pricey for the portion size. The fruit tea was just okay and didn't really stand out. The popcorn chicken was a bit too salty and had more batter than meat. We came back to try the Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie and the ube soft serve. Unfortunately, the smoothie was a letdown--it was too heavy on the coconut milk and didn't have much mango flavor. The ube soft serve was also much smaller than expected for the price and was on the sweeter side. The service was friendly, and the ambiance inside was nice enough. The surrounding plaza wasn't our favorite, but the boba shop itself was pleasant. Overall, expect Bay Area pricing. While some items didn't live up to the cost, the Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was unique and tasty enough that we'd probably order it again if we're ever in the area.

Oh, let me tell you about the sweetest little donut shop I stumbled upon the other day!And it's just the most charming spot you could ever imagine. I felt like I was stepping into a cozy little haven from the moment I walked in. The first thing I noticed was how clean and welcoming it was. Everything had its place, and the lovely staff behind the counter greeted me with warm smiles, like I was an old friend stopping by for a visit. You don't get service like that much anymore! Now, let's talk about the donuts. Oh, heavens! They were as fresh as could be, with just the right amount of sweetness. I tried their classic glazed, a lemon-filled one and oh my, was it delightful. You could tell they take their time crafting these little works of art. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's not just a donut shop; it's a little slice of happiness. I'll definitely be back--and next time, I'm bringing friends! read more

Title: "Sweet Surprises Await!" My visit to this donut shop turned out to be a delightful surprise! Accompanied by my sister-in-law, my son had his eyes set on just one donut, but we ended up with much more than expected. I jokingly walked in, declaring that I was there to "get diabetes," and the staff's laughter set the tone for a fantastic experience. Not only did they serve up delicious donuts, but they also generously shared a few small donut balls and threw in an extra donut for free! The staff's friendly demeanor and the unexpected treats made our visit memorable. Kudos to the team for providing such great service - keep up the fantastic work! read more
