Very friendly staff with a lot of care and attention given to each cup of coffee. Even though the pastries aren't "home made" they're definitely small batch made and taste home made! Located in downtown Turlock, located catty corner from the Commonwealth restaurant. It blends into the many storefronts downtown but absolutely worth the hunt! A bonus is that it's a Firefighter owned business! As Arnold says... "I'll be back!"

The coffee doesn't have that acrid acidity (which means its got some cheap beans thrown in for heft), doesn't get that smokiness (which implies old beans a la Starbucks), just a smooth Coffee experience. yes the owner is picky about GREAT coffee and no you wont get a soy latter snicker doodle flavor in a "Venti" cup. But what you will get is coffee that you can smell from a mile away and a flavor that doesn't need any extra "stuff" to add complexity. Plus he sells coffee ground to your specifications (i.e. if you want coffee for a french press, a drip coffee machine or an expresso, or just want the beans). Did I mention that he makes each cup to order. Yup folks, when you ask for a coffee, he makes you a cuppa on a "pour over" coffee contraption while explaining his signature blend. What more could you ask for?

Came here with a friend for a late lunch and we were greeted pretty quickly. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit outside. The waitress was very nice and took our orders quickly as well. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and my friend ordered the salmon tacos. Both were pretty tasty. The only downside is that we had to scarf our food down because there were tons of flies trying to feast on our food. Besides the flies, everything was on point. I will be coming again and supporting this local restaurant:) read more

Well it seems like either y'all or Yelp deleted my comment. Ima keep this short. It took way too long just to get a seat, and then get the food. The food was mediocore, and hey I liked 7/11 pizza so you just know I don't have high standards for food.
