This is my friend's favorite bakery and a must-stop any time she's in Merced. I was with her and so…read moreI had the pleasure of visiting for a late lunch. I wasn't very hungry, so I opted for a bowl of soup with a side of cornbread and a slice of pie to go. The soup was hearty and plentiful. I could have gone for a cup instead, but instead took what I couldn't eat to-go and enjoyed it later. The corn bread was delicious--slightly sweet, and moist enough to not fall apart when I cut into it with my fork. I usually love butter with corn bread, which they offered me, but it didn't need it. I wasn't sure which pie to get-they have so many to pick from. Checking out the options in the bakery case didn't help because they all looked so beautiful. I ended up selecting peach, and it was amazing. The peaches were perfectly caramelized but still maintained their texture. The bake of the pie brought out their ultimate peachiness. The crust was just the right thickness. Even though it was a cold slice, the crust remained flakey. The cafe had ample seating. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Pricing is on the high end, but I'm not sure how much that is because food is so expensive now-a-days. I was a bit surprised to see sandwich combos (with a side) all starting at around $20, and going up from there. It was after 2 in the afternoon, so the bakery had several 50% off boxes of baked goods to select. Four large cookies for I believe $12 or so (I could be wrong). There weren't too many options left in the bakery cases. I would love to see what this place offers when it first opens. Stay tuned for an update once I get that chance.

We came on a Monday morning and the crowd was light as expected being a weekday. We were seated right away. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options but the tables are a bit tight so probably not the best place for parties over 4-5 people. I had the salmon scramble with a slice of pumpkin bread and subbed the potatoes for a fruit cup. I don't know if it was because I was extra hungry but it tasted delicious! There was a lot more salmon in the scramble than I expected which was a bonus! The fruit was great and the pumpkin bread was a nice unique twist to the classic breakfast side options. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito which was huge and filling!

The chilaquiles actually had a hint of spice which we really liked and the gravy on the chicken fried steak was so good. We also got their pumpkin bread on the side which was made in-house. Everything was just great. Really enjoyed having breakfast there. Friendly service and a great mom and pop shop. We'll definitely be back!

There was a small technology issue with the online ordering and when we arrived to pick up our pizzas, the staff hadn't prepared one pizza because they wanted to clarify a minor ingredient that could have been included or left off. They attempted to call me back several times but unfortunately my phone had no signal. Even though we had to wait about 15 extra minutes upon arriveal for pickup, I really appreciated that they took the time to confirm the order rather than making assumptions. That level of care is important especially for customers who may have food allergies or dietary restrictions. The customer service was excellent and the pizzas were absolutely delicious. Hard working and nice crew in the back, I like how you can see the team prepping and cooking and working hard. Our whole family and friends loved both the cheese and BBQ chicken pizzas. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for putting your customers first!

Our table ordered the Ricotta Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, French Toast, and the Seasonal Scramble, and every dish was outstanding. The food was beautifully plated, arrived fresh, and was full of flavor. It's clear that a lot of care goes into both the presentation and preparation of the meals. The Ricotta Pancakes were light and delicious, the Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly, the French Toast was flavorful and satisfying, and the Seasonal Scramble was fresh and well-balanced. Every member of our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Overall, Rainbird delivered a great dining experience with exceptional food. While service was a little slow at the beginning, the quality of the meal made it well worth the wait. We will definitely be back and look forward to our next visit.

The star was the smoked short rib! Wow!!! So much flavor. Loved the presentation but cutting corn off cob is messy! For dessert a strawberry shortcake that took me back to my grandpa's kitchen table!

The kids really enjoyed that. We will be making this our pit stop coming home from SoCal every time from now on.

We came here last month and grabbed takeout, and honestly, the food was great! So today, we decided…read moreto come back and actually sit down for a meal. Party of 3 -- how hard could this be? We were initially told there would be a 20-minute wait, which was totally fine. Then things got a little... interesting. Two different staff members told the greeter at the front that our table was ready, but we were still asked to keep waiting. About 15 minutes into our wait, a party of 7 walked in and was told they would have a table ready for them. At that point, we decided our party of 3 had apparently been moved to the "please continue waiting indefinitely" category and we left. What made this especially strange was that there were five tables for four open. We understand that restaurants get busy and that seating can be complicated, but this situation just didn't make sense. If a table is available and staff are saying it's ready, why keep guests waiting while a much larger party is welcomed in? The food may be great, but the customer experience left us scratching our heads. Every customer should feel like they're important -- whether they're a party of 3, 7, or even just one person. Hopefully management can take a look at what happened, because this was a very unusual experience.

Pizza took very long to make, it came towards the end of our meal. The waiter gave us some free fries and soups to make up the long wait time. Overall it's not a bad experience, I would go back for pasta dishes only.

I think I'd personally prefer an actually patty so I can get medium instead of smashed which is more medium-well or well done. The smash fries were also good. Partner said the fried ended up getting pretty soggy since a lot of sauce ended up on the bottom. I personally liked them. Ingredients all tasted fresh. Odd thing to stand out, but the Coke here was so good. It's rare to get a really good Coke now and days, but this was perfect. Server was good and friendly. The space is very bar like and a little dark for my liking, but hey that's me. Still will come by after every trip here:) thank you for the fresh ingredients and friendliness.

Oh, and that was with a Diet Coke too. Insanity. Food was very good with the favorite being the $12 shaken beef. A nice sauce, again at that stupid good price. This place is huge! I think a pizza joint in the past. Large screen tv and a consistent take out business. Street or alley parking. Food is probably 4+ stars but the pricing gets them a five!! Highly recommended in Merced.

It's your average lox bagel with tomato, capers, and red onions. The wait was about 10-15 minutes but there was a small line shortly after I ordered. Overall, I wouldn't come back if I were craving a lox bagel to this place because the total for 1 lox bagel came out to be $15 with tip, but it was convenient as this store is located near the highway.
