    It's nice to have something different than fast food and fried food to eat on a road trip. This place is simple, they offer sandwiches and drinks and that about it. Service was quick and friendly. We got croissant sandwiches which were on fresh buttery croissants. I wish they had other cheese than American. Also the turkey wasn't the best quality. But it did the trick and I like that they offer so many fresh veggies. I also got banh mi which was good. The teriyaki chicken was hot, the veggies were cool, and the bread was crusty. We'll definitely stop here when passing through.

    super convenient stop off the highway! unfortunately they didn't pick up the phone for advanced ordering, so we had to wait for our food. they also don't sell bubble waffles anymore :( however, everything else was pretty good and cheap! we were very satisfied after our meal. the drinks were a bit too sweet but fine after the ice melted

    Call or text your order!!

    Amazing breakfast sandwiches, amazing Customer Service as well! It is Take out only! But great all around!

    The layout of this cafe is stuck in a pandemic time capsule. There is no indoor dining area, as all the tables and chairs are still stacked up like most places during the height of the pandemic. There is potential space outside, but there are no tables or seating either. As far as I could see, there was only one person taking orders and preparing the food on a Saturday morning. There could be a 15 to 20 minute wait for your orders . The breakfast sandwiches tasted like they're straight out of a microwave. The banh mi sandwich was better, but the steamed pork also tasted like it was freshly microwaved. It didn't have a lot of flavor. For a small shopping center right off the freeway, it was a nice rest stop during road trips, but I didn't feel it was anything special.

    Happy to see that their prices are the same! And the sandwiches are still fresh and delicious, too! Great service - a great road trip lunch stop.

    The employee's were so sweet! I appreciated the small talk during our transaction. My boba tea drink was delicious and the sandwich bread was a little tough. But the food inside was fantastic! I would recommend expanding your pallet and trying the food!!!

    Fancy Bagels

    (13 reviews)

    Considering this spot is new, I wanted to be as fair as possible so I tried a variety of items:…read more3 drinks (Strawberry Matcha, Chocolate Milk, & Cinnamon Roll Latte) The matcha was just strawberry milk with a hint of matcha. The chocolate milk was just bad, and the latte was straight cinnamon. The actual food was better, but there were still issues. The blueberry bagel was EXTREMELY tough, a croissant sandwich did not have a croissant, it was a bagel. The only good item I had was their signature fancy bagel which was ACTUALLY good. If I recommend anything from here, it's a savory bagel sandwich.

    This is regarding an incident that occurred during my recent visit to your restaurant…read more First, I want to say that the my intention in writing is not to criticize the quality of your establishment. However, I did experience a fall while I was there, and I've been reflecting on how the situation was handled afterward. While I understand that accidents can happen, what stayed with me was feeling a bit unattended to in the moments that followed. When you asked from behind the counter if I was okay and I responded that I was, the interaction ended there and business continued as usual. At the time, I was still shaken, and I would have appreciated a more personal check-in or offer of assistance. As a customer, I believe moments like these are opportunities for care and reassurance, and I wanted to share how the experience made me feel. My hope is simply that this feedback can be helpful moving forward, should a similar situation arise with another guest. Thank you to those customers that came to my aid and even though my order was free (not the point) I truly appreciate the work that goes into running a business and felt it was important to communicate this respectfully Paula

    We dined as a party of four for an early dinner Saturday…read more We were seated immediately and drinks were brought out right away (4 waters and 2 soft drinks), which was a great start. After that, the experience slowed down quite a bit. When ordering, the new menu was confusing. Everything is now essentially à la carte -- you order a meat or sandwich and then choose a side at an additional cost. We ordered one 3-meat combo with garlic fries, one 2-meat combo with mac & cheese, a tri-tip sandwich with garlic fries, another sandwich with regular fries, and a large onion ring for the table. There was also confusion about sides. We initially asked for a large garlic fry with the combo and were told it only came with a small side, but also that the side wasn't included in the price. The ordering process felt unclear for both us and the server. Food took about 25 minutes to arrive. During that time, we had to ask multiple staff members for utensils and condiments (BBQ sauce, ketchup, ranch, and Tabasco). We asked three different times before receiving them, and by then the fries were mostly gone. Food quality was mixed. The sandwiches and sides were actually very good, and the tri-tip was flavorful. However, the smoked BBQ meats were very dry and the house BBQ sauce was not appealing. The dining room was also quite cold during our visit. Our total bill was about $200 for four people. At that price point, we expected stronger service and more consistent food quality. The restaurant used to be a favorite when we first moved to Patterson 8 years ago, so this visit was disappointing. I hope they work out the menu clarity and service issues because the potential is still there.

    They should fire their cook! Cut corners = big loss. They don't cook anything exactly as you order…read moreit. The only thing decent here is the breakfast menu and that is screwed up by cut corners and no one checking the quality of the food they're serving. I live local and I keep trying to like this place but each time I'm disappointed. Then you add in that this place is filthy every time I'm in there. They need to hire professional cleaners to scrub the bathrooms thoroughly, dust blinds and light fixtures. They need to vacuum and shampoo the rugs. Wipe down the furniture from top to bottom. It's old but with proper scrubbing, would clean up. I sent my food back, and it wasn't remedied. I opted for cold eggs over another waitress spitting in my food. I thought this because the gal didn't seem to be able to handle me criticizing the food. I asked her for hot sauce to help me choke down my cold eggs. She said sure and ran off to never return (I'm assuming to punish me for not silently taking the bad service). I flagged someone else down to get it. When I finished. My waitress said she would like to offer me 10% off for my trouble. I said thank you. When the bill came, there wasn't a discount and I was charged incorrectly. This upset me. I paid my bill and tipped 15% anyway. I am so disappointed and want to tell everyone out there, to go to Denny's instead. At least it's clean and your food will be cooked to order. This mom and pop place isn't worth it. No matter how badly I want to support local business.
