Unfortunately I showed up midday and they were sold out of a lot of items…read more This place is located downtown Visalia so parking during peak hours is awful. The reason for 2 stars is due to seeing a couple of flies in within the baked goods display case. Restaurants and bakeries should invest in down-draft or downward-blowing air curtains that create a high-velocity barrier of air over open doors and entryways to block flies and other pests from entering a building. Unfortunately I didn't see the flies until after I paid for my order. I will have to observe better in the future. I purchased 4 items and my total was roughly $32 1. Tokyo Toast is my absolute favorite and unfortunately they only had one left. This is thick-cut of Japanese milk bread that is lightly caramelized...so delicious! 5/5 2. Banana Boat, a round croissant type pastry with a center filled with banana cream and topped with a meringue. 5/5 3. Pistachio croissant 5/5 4. Marshmallow croissant 5/5 Their baked goods are outstanding and customer service is decent. They're a bit pricey. They have a very small eating area. My overall rating reflects the couple of flies in the baked goods display case. But the baked goods are a 5-star rating

UPDATNG this review because I realized I was overly excited when I posted and I had SO MANY typo's…read more If you don't go on a bear hunt looking for this place.. you'll never find it, unless you happen to be randomly driving or walking by -- it's a literal whole in the wall, but very well known by the locals What can I say about this place.. I've definitely been coming here since the beginning (before patio seating and mobile orders) haha thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded (3 locations now -- Visalia, Tulare, Fresno). There's something for everyone on their Menu. I personally believe that they have some of the best matcha's around. BUT... if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener, you probably won't like a real matcha from here -- I say this because some will complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol--all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out.. definitely a favorite here in Visalia! Service and time... always as expected. You are getting hand crafted drinks and food, so don't expect them to rush. ****Rush hour in the am and during lunch hours**** The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products. This was a Huge plus for me, because sometimes I like to ask the employees for their recommendations or personal favorites! They usually end up being pretty darn good Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha my mom loves their avo or seasonal toast/ my dad loves the breakfast burritos! I will always come here for food/homemade pastries, a drink, to work, or to hang out with my loved ones! Thank you Component team for making every visit a good one

Component Coffee Lab sits tucked behind the downtown buildings, the kind of spot you don't stumble…read moreinto by accident. You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

The new owner still serves it, though. The interior looks like a nice little gas station without the gas. Lots of pre-packaged foods to choose from, and fresh donuts and bagels to eat, too. They do charge a fee for low credit card purchases (which is against merchant's agreement, but that's another rant) so you have to watch out for that, or just pay cash.

Watson's Organic Cafe has earned a customer for life…read more I called ahead because my grandpa has an allergy to one of the ingredients, and they were happy to accommodate my request. Unfortunately, the DoorDash driver incorrectly reported that they couldn't, and so my order was canceled. Instead of leaving it at that, one of the owners (Eva--you're the GOAT) personally drove my order to me to make sure I still received exactly what I had ordered. That's customer service you just don't see anymore. The food is fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious, but it's the people that make this place special. We'll definitely be ordering again (Friday), and for many meals to come. Highly recommend!

I was just disappointed with their lack of customer service. Not friendly at all. Walked in, they saw me but ignored me. I stood at the register trying to order but they seemed bothered. Once they acknowledged me they were not friendly they did not greet me or smiled. I went back the following week to give them another chance but nope it was the same attitude. I really liked their food but I feel uncomfortable going in.

I seen a white guy come in and out and he was after us. And another. I just had a brown sugar shaken espresso. And then I over hear another woman say - she just started her period - exact words. And then the woman in the maroon shirt mentions my drink as a diabetic shaken espresso. Wow. I'm ok to never come back. You don't me honey. I don't know you. People change their drinks all the time. The place was clean. And it's nice inside. But no thanks. I don't support establishments who act like this towards anybody. We should all be respected and feel welcome. And I tipped them too. So disappointing.

After a disappointing experience elsewhere, my son and I decided to stop by Panera, and we're glad…read morewe did. The fresh food was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the You Pick Two and chose the Toasted Italiano sandwich and the Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad, which came with a complimentary French baguette. The salad was absolutely delicious and packed with grilled chicken. It was fresh, flavorful, and packed with ingredients. The poppyseed dressing was a standout, and since this salad is seasonal, I highly recommend trying it while it's available. The Toasted Italiano was warm, satisfying, and held up well from the first bite to the last. We also tried the Dragonfruit Sunset Energy Refresher, which was light, refreshing, and included real pieces of dragonfruit. Panera continues to be one of my go-to spots for salads, sandwiches, and soups. The food is consistently fresh, and every visit has been a good one. Definitely recommended!
