A nice little old school mom n pop joint with the old vinyl booths and original everything, just about. This is the kind of doughnut shop I love. They have "Asian coffee" on the menu, which I will assume is Vietnamese but I didn't order it because I was already fully caffeinated myself. Great place to stop while shopping around here.

I've ordered the pork combo but instead they gave me a carrot bahn mi with two cut meat.. my first and last coming to this place.

A local donut place which also sells incredible banh-mi. Very straightforward, you order at the counter and they have two tables you can sit at while you wait or if you choose to eat there. People tend to take their donuts/ banh mi to go. I always get the z5 which is the grilled pork sausage and I ask for everything on it, meaning the pickled carrots/daikon, jalapeno, etc. z1 which is their combo cold cut pork is solid too for cold cut fans. I love a banh-mi place that has great bread to filling ratio and this place is consistent with the quality of their sandwiches. You can get donuts and boba here too if you want something sweet which is always a bonus. Support this local business for whenever you're craving banh mi!

This place has really good donuts but the secret is the delicious Banh Mi sandwiches. It's a must try.

I love Donut King. It is definitely one of Merceds hidden treasures. I have been a fan of their sandwiches since I moved here in 2020. The employees are super nice and always happy to help and serve you. The sandwiches are always freshly made and have a unique taste. The location is in a nice spot sometimes overlooked but definitely worth a try. I have updated their menu photos hopefully its a better view for you yelpers.

Food: 5/5 Been going here ever since Freshman year. Always consistent with there sandwiches and donuts. My friends and I go here religiously Service: 5/5 The workers here are very nice and would always ensure we got our orders right Vibes: 3.5/5 It's a tad bit run down in terms of furniture. Everything else would give you a local donut shop vibe.

Ordered 3 banh mi sandwiches. 2 combo pork and 1 BBQ pork. Love the bread! Fresh, crispy and crunchy. However, the overall sandwich was just okay. Mostly vegetables (lots of shredded carrots). If they could be just a little more generous on the meat, I think I would definitely buy again.

Yay they had everything we like

This is our go to Thai Iceed tea spot and we just tried the sandwiches today and very impressed. I will definitely be ordering the lemongrass chicken again, so good. I would be very happy if they served lemongrass rice bowl option in the future!!

I'm an Italian Market slob and the last place I would expect to find a legit one is Downtown…read moreMerced. This place super respectable, as Italian Markets go. They carry some fairly hard to find specialty meats, spices and Italian culinary must-haves. I tried the Vespa sandwich and have to say the quality and taste was exceptional. Professional, friendly atmosphere. The owner greeted me and a brief, friendly conversation revealed his passion for this place. I will definitely be back. You rarely see businesses like this anymore. Clean, friendly, high quality and professionalism. You have something special here Merced

Over-priced sandwiches. Mostly bread, little meat. No option to customize. There was fresh pasta…read moremade but no sign to say it existed nor pricing. I asked what the portions and prices were and he seemed surprised I asked. I get what they're trying to do, to offer legit Italian meat, pasta, sweets etc. However Merced lacks the clientele to support this niche business. I appreciate the legit mortadella and prosciutto, it's been a year since we were in Italy. They need to make heftier sandwiches loaded with actual substance if they're gonna charge that much. Include a drink too. Lastly, I had no idea this place existed. My brother mentioned it to me and we checked it out. Need more advertising and food selection to match pricing.

I finally stopped by this local meat company and deli and it did not disappoint…read more The tri-tip sandwich was fantastic -- tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The portion was extremely generous and piled high with meat. For $10, it's honestly one of the best values I've come across. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was welcoming, patient, and very attentive when answering my questions about the menu and their meats. I had also inquired about their chili beans, which is made in house, and the young lady kindly offered me a sample, which was delicious! That will probably be my new side. If you're a fan of tri-tip (or meat), this place is definitely worth checking out. They also had precooked meat that you can purchase. I love that for a quick meal prep. Will definitely be back.!

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.

I was out in Merced a little too early for a work meeting, and wanted some coffee, but not a chain place. Lucky me I was actually just down the street from Jenny's bakery. I was warmly greeted as I came in and immediately feel the family charm of this business. Oldies were playing on the radio, and Jenny's husband was getting things ready in the kitchen. When I found out the Portuguese breakfast was her family recipe beans, and a half order of biscuits and gravy, I was set on what I wanted. I was provided an colorful coffee mug and allowed to have coffee to my hearts content. I opted for the holiday blend. It had a lovely hint of spices, but was not overwhelming. I had no longer sat down than my nice pipping hot bowl of Portuguese beans was placed in front of me and I thought it was a half order. They say it's a half order but that is the huge biscuit and with gravy you would need a party of four to finish. The flavor of the beans were just wonderful. I filled myself up on those and then sopped up some of the beans gravy with the biscuits. My taste buds were very happy. My stomach was over full. I enjoyed some banter with Jenny and her husband along with some patrons that came in. They really try to make everyone feel so much like they're just walking into a family kitchen. I highly recommend a stop and introduce yourself and make some new friends and find yourself a lovely bakery. That's been there right around the corner from the park.
