We have visited Jantz before with friends and family in the past. Yesterday and today they catered our breakfast at the UC and they did not disappoint. read more

I thought this would be like any other cafe but I was wrong. You can tell when you walk in. Food is above and beyond. We did not have to wait for our food for more than 5 minutes. They were so fast! Server was so attentive and checked up on us constantly. The decorations are so cute and rustic. Simple look inside and not overwhelming with decor like at other places. Makes this place feel unique and clean. Restrooms are also very tidy. read more

You can never go wrong with Jantz , my go to is their tuna melt it's so tasty. I miss their old pasta salad though, I recently went and they changed it to little shells . Not sure if it's temporary but the original tasted a bit better. I preorders my Thanksgiving deserts of course . Everything they make taste super good. I also ordered a pumpkin spice latte. It wasn't as sweet as I imagined it would be but definitely still tasty. I wish I remember our servers name, she was so sweet, patient, and super helpful. read more

Great breakfast spot and the cinnamon rolls are amazing. Service was great and the meal was perfectly prepared.

I love jantz brunch food so I thought I'd stop by and get some desserts to go. One of the desserts I got was a chocolate cupcake with Strawberry frosting. It was literally the worst cupcake I've had in my life and I had to spit it out. The cake part tasted like straight oil. It was very strange and not edible. Disappointed. I tried just the frosting as well and it tasted bitter. The other two desserts I got were okay. read more

Had their coconut pie and it was so delicious . Will definitely be back!! Great customer service too. read more

Forgot to leave an updated review a few months ago. Came in here to order a salad to go, again the food is good but for the price the staff needs to do better. The entrance doesn't really tell you where to make a to go so I stood where the hostess counter is. The waitress (and older woman, ignored me standing there and seated someone else who was standing at the please wait to be seated sign), so I stood over there, and when she asked how many to be seated and I then asked her about placing a to go order and she rudely directed me to the counter where the pies were for to go orders as if I wasted her time standing there. So I went over there, gave them my order, they were nice and helpful at that counter but the original waitress was just so rude about it all. I haven't been back since. read more

Cherry pie Perfectly delicious. Could have loved it a week but more had it been a little less sweet! read more

Cinnamon French Toast is their star on the menu so we had to try it. It was good, but I don't think it needed the powdered sugar on top. Service was quick. They were short staffed so weren't serving outside, so got food to go and ate outside anyway. Well decorated inside with lots of unique items available. More tables than you think when you first enter. About 20 tables that roll around the corner. Join the rewards club and get a free pie just for joining. Will definitely be back to get my pie. read more

I have always wanted to try the grilled cheese special but never found myself there on Thursday. Finally, I made it and ordered it. I was so happy I did. Grilled cheese on garlic bread with basil tomato soup.... WHO could ask for anything more on a cold winter day. It was the best. So yummy. I now will be scheduling Thursday lunch dates. read more

I love Jantz regardless if it the Merced Location or the Atwater Location. The pies are amazing, particularly the fresh peach pie. I enjoy their cinnamon french toast for breakfast and their chicken salad sandwich for lunch. IF you are in the area- give it a try. read more

FOOD == (3/5) I got a French dip here and it's not too bad but the bread quality was not here. I would come here only for the desserts SERVICE == (5/5) They were really nice and even brought out friend Hydro flask that he left on the table. VIBES == (4/5) The plaza this cafe sits in is surrounded by denial and healthcare offices. The inside looks like a cafe. read more

I purchased a 6 pack of assorted cookies that were 50%off. I used my $10 award certificate to pay. I was charged an additional $3.00 for the cookies. I paid $13.00 for six day old cookies that were clearly marked 50% off the purchase price. I questioned the person why it was so much and did she take the discount. She said yes and that the price of the cookies went up in price. I checked my receipt when I got back to my car and "NO" she didn't give me the 50% off. I went back in and the same person that helped me argued with me that she did in fact take the 50% off. When I showed her the tag, it finally dawned on her. However, she only gave me $3 back instead of $6.50 back. The over charge should have been $3.50 and then the additional $3 that I spent originally. read more

Dry scrambled eggs, salty ham. Had to ask for more coffee. Husband's order of 2 eggs over easy with bacon came scrambled w/ham. Had to wait for a new plate so one served got cold. read more

Is this the new 2023 thing happening with all restaurants ? I ordered a lunch chicken salad sandwich. It does not come with your choice of salad, soup or fries. Just the sandwich which wasn't that tasty. All extra sides come with a separate cost ! Definitely the cost of eating out has gotten more expensive. If the cost has gone up then the food should be outrageously delicious. THIS WAS NOT Won't be back. AS A RESPONSE TO THE OWNER........... My order was at lunch time and I did say I wanted a chicken salad sandwich lunch special. She did not inform me it was just the sandwich only. When the picture on your menu had a side item included on that picture. I did ask about a side she told me that will be extra. read more

Been wanting to check out the Merced location for a while. Been to the Atwater Jantz several times. The food and service were great. Everyone seemed friendly. Have unfortunately met less than friendly workers in the Atwater bakery section. Never had a problem in their restaurant section. But this review is for Merced. One thing in particular that I like in both locations is the server coming over often to check if I need anything. Also my server here asked if I was in the rewards program. At the other location, except for the first time I was there, I'm always having to bring it up. The last lady I dealt with at the Atwater bakery section seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. The Merced staff seems more up to speed on things. Bought two full pies after my lunch. I love their pies. This location of course has all the bakery items available that the Atwater location has. Parking lots are large and there's more outdoor seating here than Atwater. Staff here seems friendlier than Atwater. Might start coming to this one instead. read more

I liked Maggie's service, very attentive with the coffee and personal touches. I had informed her that it was my birthday, and she wrote a note to wish me just that - a Happy Birthday! I liked how she asked if I wanted to have a refill of decaf coffee two times. The coffee wasn't hot enough. So I declined. I enjoyed the fruit bowl and eggs a lot. It was delicious. read more

Best clam chowder and tuna melt! I usually have to add pepper to clam chowder anywhere else but at Jantz, they have their seasoning down just right. read more

First and foremost, my wife and I love Jantz, and the food has always been absolutely delicious. However, earlier this week at lunch time we had an unusual experience. We were seated on the patio by the hostess, and then waited over 20 minutes before the waitress noticed that we were on the patio to take our lunch order. We also noticed that other patrons were being seated and that their orders were being taken before ours, which we mentioned to the waitress once she finally did arrive to take our order. We were nearly tempted to call in our lunch order to have it "to go," as we waited for the waitress, though waited patiently until she was able to take our order in person. Fast forward to the meal. The food was as expected, quite delicious. We even used one of the mailers today to treat ourselves to one of your amazing smoothies. We marked this experience up to a one off, as normally the staff are prompt, so we chalked this up to perhaps a lack of communication from the hostess after we were seated, to her not letting the waitress know that we were on the patio. We are hopeful for a better experience on our next visit. Thank you for the opportunity for us to discuss our concern. We know from past experience that you all do great work and offer wonderful food. read more

The service was a little slow, but the food was delicious. I had half of a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of potato soup. The special that day also included a slice of pie, which I got to-go. Also very good. Plenty of food for the price. I don't remember the exact cost, but it was around $20 including tax/tip. I would definitely go back, but not if I'm in a hurry. read more
