    A friend took me to a cute little place I've never been before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a mellow spot, perfect for getting fresh air, doing work, and enjoying good food and coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered avocado toast, which tasted even better than it looks in this picture I promise , it was so flavorful! My friend loved her sandwich, too. I had a white mocha coffee, and as we were leaving, she wanted some chocolate chip cookies. I was too full, but she insisted I try one. The worker, Joy, said they were amazing, and there was none like them. I ended up getting one, and I got home and finally decided to try it. I was told to warm it up before eating so I only sampled a corner, and let's just say It was so good that it never made it to the microwave! Customer service was also A1.

    I love The Well! This local spot is such a great part of the community. They host a variety of events and classes and offer spaces you can rent. My future mother-in-law meets her knitting group here and I recently attended a pottery class--it was a lot of fun! I'm excited to see how my cup turns out. They also make delicious food and coffee. Whenever we visit, we have to get their fries--they're amazing. I'll either choose a dish that comes with fries or just order a basket of them.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute spot! It's such a vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the outside it's like a house but inside it's quite spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed that latte and mocha along with a unique twist to their chicken pesto sandwich. Service was great and also quick!

    Fancy fig (sans crumbled cheese and pesto)
    Yiuing P.

    Friendly and patient phone call- explained all the ingredients to avoid allergens. Fancy fig pizza - 5/5 Pesto, cheese, dried figs, feta? Cheese, arugula, crumbled bacon. Nice, sweet and savory balance. Crust is not fresh but premade, but soft and good for a coffee shop. $15 Stocktonian burger- bacon 3 thin strips, burger, cheese, jalapeños (not grilled as menu says but pickled- although grilled would have made this burger outstanding), pickles. Comes with seasoned fries not house made, but tasty. 5/5 $15 Chicken ranch- grilled chicken, tomatoes, fresh red onion, cucumbers with ranch 4/5.

    Oh my, I guess you could say my latte was WELL done!

    What can I say? Rustic, charming, and inviting! Located within the downtown Stockton area, The Well was a comforting stop for a coffee on my road trip up to the Pacific Northwest from Southern California! I particularly LOVED how the interior was designed to look old school and retained that older Spanish style charm! They have plenty of seating, a rentable venue, and a co-working space you can rent out for the day which was neat. The baristas were solid folks and I greatly appreciated how they kindly brought out the drinks to our table. You've gotta have even the slightest bit of admiration for awesome service after a tiring day. My latte was made just perfectly. Great quality coffee with some sweet latte art to add on! The Well is one cool spot if you ever find yourself craving a nice and warm cup of coffee while in Stockton. I'll definitely be back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Well is Soooooo cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has been so cold lately, I walked in and it was nice and toasty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was way bigger than I expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was greeted when I walked in, which was nice it's usually pretty busy in coffee shops but the welcome was not lost here. So many options on the menu, I order a hot a latte and it was delicious, I also got a blueberry shortbread bar, not overly sweet and solid just how I like it. I will be back to try something else

    Spini-Apple-salad
    Alex L.

    As always I hesitate to give 5 stars up front, but I will easily give 5 stars here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment, the customer service, the quickness of getting my food and drinks, I loved it here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm born and raised in Stockton, and finding this hidden gem was surprising, but glad I found it. I had a strawberry lemonade, my wife had a lavender lemonade...for lunch o had the grilled cheese with bacon, perfectly cooked and tasted great...my wife had the Spini-Apple-Salad. The presentation, the quickness of the food, everything was on point. Highly recommend and I know I'll be back

    Chicken pesto sandwich, breakfast burrito, white mocha

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute and aesthetic coffee place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are good. Food and drinks are food. Staff is friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of space and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is good too. Will definitely come back to this place.

    I didn't know this spot existed until I was invited for a meet up. It's located off of Center Street and you may miss it if you don't pay attention. It's a big white building with a gated entrance for parking. You enter through the back from the parking lot. They offer scones, pastries, cookies, breakfast and lunch items. I ordered a large caramel macchiato with almond milk. It was a bit soft, meaning I couldn't taste the espresso. It wasn't anything special. The cookie was ok. Prefer it warm. It's pretty big inside. It reminds me of like an old mission that was converted to a sitting space with a coffee shop. There's a lot of seating areas with tabkes and a lounge area with a sofa for meeting up, doing work or just hanging out. I also noticed there's a room you can rent for a meeting space too. This is a good place to come if you want to meet up centrally in Stockton.

    Breakfast Burrito in a bowl
    Sarah G.

    Stopped here on the way back home in need of some caffeine and a bite to eat, and this place delivered! I ordered a honey latte -- not overly sweet, just the right balance of bold coffee and creamy smoothness. For food, I got the burrito, but they were kind enough to accommodate my dietary needs and served it in a bowl instead. It was hearty, flavorful, and just what I needed. Great coffee and a satisfying meal -- perfect stop for a quick drive through the area. Very thankful for the friendly service and flexibility!

    Iced white mocha (left) and iced caramel macchiato (right)
    Stephanie R.

    The coffee was decent, a little on the sweeter side. I ordered a white mocha and, to me, it didn't really taste like white mocha? It was almost fruity...still good, just not what I was expecting. My bf described the caramel macchiato as very sweet too. The brownie was sooo good. We also ordered the SB melt (not pictured), which was quite good as well. The only change I would make next time is getting it without the lemon pepper, it overpowered the melt imo. This seems like a spot for local college students, Stockton was a pit stop for us for some breakfast. The food looked pretty good! Coffee was fine. The staff were friendly and the restaurant itself was huge with lots of seating space. Cute decor. I could see what people were saying about the ambiance, very chill.

    Protein bowl

    First off, Walter is the GOAT! He met me with an attentive and warm greeting. I am new to the area and I have been here 3x but I am still getting used to the menu. However, today I wanted to create something of my own and decided to ask if I can "do this or do that" not only was he knowledgeable he was encouraging of my order! I enjoyed the flexibility also the staff is friendly and the establishment is always clean. Definitely a great place to go! Walter said the weekend brunch is awesome-make sure y'all go and check this place out! My food was wonderful and so was my iced tea-no caffeine and no sugar! I will definitely come back weekly! Order- Protein bowl & Lemon ginger tea Check receipt photo for exact order

Parking is street-only, but I was lucky enough to find a spot right in front. FOOD I was expecting a larger food menu, but they only offer 1-2 rotating items for the day/week. I saw their lox bagel from photos and I was bummed they didn't have it that day so I ended up ordering the bagel sandwich (cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber) and a breakfast burrito. Both were decent, though the bagel could've definitely used more cream cheese. 3.8/5 DRINKS Ube White Mocha - 3.8/5: The flavor was there, but it could've used more coffee. Vanilla Latte - 3.8/5: Solid and enjoyable. My overall rating leans closer to a 3.8 mainly because the service was slow and my drink order was initially messed up. The barista did correct it and even let me keep the extra drink, which I appreciated. However, I was also accidentally charged twice and had to get that adjusted. Overall, it's still a nice place to stop by for coffee, and I'd be open to giving it another try.

Everything they have suggested has been good :) I have been on a banana kick right now so their banana cloud matcha has been my go to lately. Their strawberry matcha is also very good. The matcha is not too strong and overpowering and their banana and strawberry flavors are sweet but not too sweet. Their coffees are STRONG and just the pick me up that I need to get through a long day at work. They also offer pastries. They have something called a milk cake which I haven't had before trying the one here. The Oreo cookies and cream milk cake is THE BEST and I highly recommend trying it if they have it available!!! The chocolate beignets are nice and fluffy. They also have a vendor who makes puddings so pick one of those up as well too to support a local small business!

Service- when I seen the line I did hesitated staying, but then I talked myself stay and I am glad I did. To be honest for the line they had they were pretty quick getting orders out. Coffee shop has small area to seat around. I say this is more like a pick up and go type of place. I did not vibe being inside store where sell meats and has limited grocery items plus not much seating area. Parking- back parking lot pretty small you better off on the side of the building. You then would walk from front store because coffee shop in the back. Overall, rating 4 start due to meat area next to coffee place.
