Sale
Melissa S.

They had a friends and family sale going on. 30% off coffee and cups/mugs if you purchase a drink. This was a great deal on the coffee so we bought a bag. The staff were nice and friendly and very helpful as we took our time choosing the right coffee. It was helpful that no one else was in line. The bathrooms now need a code, which you get at checkout. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this location.

The Drink

Plastic light blue Spec the drink was so good until i felt plastic. Inspect your drink before you drink.

Well-stocked location, with plenty of competent and friendly staff.

Nice spacious Starbucks - perfect for a break on the way to Yosemite National Park or on the way back to the Bay Area. Located in Merced, close to where CA 140 intersects with Route 99. They have a drive through, were well stocked, and had plenty of competent and friendly staff. We cobbled together a table for our party of seven and they didn't mind. Bathrooms were clean, and orders were filled quickly and correctly. Can't ask for much more from a Starbucks - we will certainly be back next time we go to Yosemite this way.

I ordered at this Starbucks earlier today and got a strawberries and creme Frappuccino and I didn't realize until I got home that the drink looked very odd. I always order this drink so I know it wasn't supposed to look the way it did. The drink looked kinda chunky and the bottom was watery instead of having the strawberry stuff the put in the drink, but I just mixed it thinking that would but it didn't want to mix. I let it sit for a bit and when I looked at the drink a bit later, all the dairy product rose up to the top and bottom was watery af. I tried calling the store to let them know that they might be using bad milk but they never answered.

See all

I can't get one simple coffee without my order being messed up. Please consider going to the other Starbucks locations.

This is seriously the slowest Starbucks in town. And it's right off the freeway, you would think they would be on it.

The atmosphere is super welcoming perfect whether you're just vibing, on your laptop, or catching up with someone. The service stands out too-staff are friendly, attentive, and actually take care of you, not just rush you through. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The place itself stays really clean, including the seating area and even the restrooms, which is always a big plus. It gets busy, but it's because people genuinely enjoy being there. Overall, great drinks, great service, clean environment, and a solid vibe all around. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.

Dare I say the best coffee in the 209???…read more Hola Cafecito is the most perfect addition to main street Merced. The coffee, the culture, the vibes, the service! I have zero complaints. I try to make it here every trip home because it is so damn good. Let's start with the goods: the dirty horchata is done very well. Not overly sweet but you actually taste the rice & cinnamon and all the things that make horchata wonderful. The only thing that would make it better is if they offered this dairy free but minor detail! I will suffer lol The cafe con leche is delic! Brown sugar & cinnamon, another unbeatable combo. You really can't go wrong with any drink here. Not only is the space beautiful but the staff is super kind. My 83 year old dad is not comfortable ordering in coffee shops like this and they're always patient and helpful. No notes, 10/10 recommend.

We came across Em-Tea on Apple Maps with 4.0 stars, and we decided on this location. It genuinely did not disappoint, the inside ambiance was super cozy and I loved the vibes it gave! Me and my sisters ordered the Thai tea, a drink mixed with mango and passion fruit, original milk tea, and mango tango. Our personal favorites were definitely the mango tango and thai tea, the flavors really hit! The service they delivered was quick and patient since we were still deciding, but overall everything was great! We aren't from Merced, so it's definitely a place we will come back to again the next time we visit our family or pass by Merced.

There is ample space inside of the facility with plenty of seating, alongside a claw machine and a shelf with board games. The menu was a little overwhelming (the default drink is that they let you pick multiple flavors and I didn't want to risk messing up my own order), so I went with one of their specialty drinks, the Caramel Camel. I set the sugar level to light, yet it reached a level of sweetness that was so intense that I had to get it redone. Even with an ever lighter level of sweetness, it still tasted excessively sweet. Overall, an interesting experience. If this is the best that Merced has to offer, I feel kind of bad for everyone in Merced for not having access to better drinks. Not sure if I'd get the chance to return as I don't normally go to Merced, but on the off-chance I end up in this area again I'd hope that maybe one of their other drinks was better.

The line to order was wrapped around inside the shop and out the door. I would say the bagels are 100% worth the wait though. They offer a wide variety of fresh bagels, cream cheeses, and toppings. They even have a sandwich menu! I ordered the Beesting Bagel Sandwich which comes on your choice of bagel with egg, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a hot honey drizzle. It was absolutely delicious! The bagels were super soft with a nice crust on the outside. The cream cheese was perfectly thick and creamy. The hot honey drizzle really tied everything together well! Because it was so busy, it did take a while to receive our food. The line to order, although long, did go by pretty quickly. There were some tables inside but it was too crowded to find a spot. Luckily we were able to find a table outside while we waited for our orders. Whenever an order was ready, the workers walked around both inside and outside shouting the name of the order which made it convenient for us to not have to fight the crowd to the counter. The only issue I felt there was was the cleanliness. When you are standing inside, you can quite literally see years of caked on dirt on some of the not frequently touched surfaces. The lamps probably had an inch of dust built up. Although this isn't the most important detail, it still makes me question the cleanliness of the whole establishment. Despite this, I won't be held back from revisiting if I am in the area again!
