    A friend took me to a cute little place I've never been before. It was a mellow spot, perfect for getting fresh air, doing work, and enjoying good food and coffee. 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.

    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.

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

    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!

    The Well is Soooooo cute! It has been so cold lately, I walked in and it was nice and toasty. The inside was way bigger than I expected. 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

    As always I hesitate to give 5 stars up front, but I will easily give 5 stars here. The environment, the customer service, the quickness of getting my food and drinks, I loved it here. 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

    Tea me you

    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.

    Chicken pesto sandwich, breakfast burrito, white mocha

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

    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

It's a big place with lots of parking, I'd reserve if you can. I'd go back but honestly it's kinda expensive to keep going back so often which I said this is like church nice / evening out. There's a bar with tv too so can be a cool spot to watch the game at. This is a nice date night spot too with some good wine selection

Up front, I wanted to express why I'm giving this review a 5-star rating. It was entirely because of the Manager Betsy and of course the flavor of these ribs we had. I don't want to put this restaurant down or nit-pick the issues both my sister and I had. I wouldn't think that would be right of me and to the restaurant. Let's just say, we had issues and Betsy, God bless her, she took care of business and made everything right and even went beyond what we expected. Personal service is foremost what's important at any eating establishment, along with the quality of the food. The ribs and pesto pasta was to die for, and that's why I keep coming back.

We ordered the chicken and rib combo, the ribs were just ok but the chicken was dry. For the price overall, we expected much more. I can't say that it left a good lasting impression on us.

    Welcome to Garlic Brothers - my favorite garlic restaurant in Stockton. I would say my favorite…read moreItalian restaurant - but at Garlic Bro's, it really is all about the garlic. And I love it! Garlic Bro's is a not so hidden local favorite that has become much more popular through the years. It sits right on the Delta for a perfect water-front view for outside dining and those lucky enough to get the huge bay window seating on the inside. I can order a full meal just on the appetizers alone. Ive tried them all. The fried raviolis and the grilled duck wraps (in bacon) are among my favorites. Garlic Bro's has a unique selection of oven baked pizza's but when I come to Garlic Bro's, it's all about the entree's for me. My all-time favorite is the grilled garlic steak. It is the best rib eye steak in Stockton. I order mine blackened (crispy outside) with the brown mushroom gravy that comes in a side dish. For sides, I order the garlic mashed potatoes. They taste creamy good by itself but remember the mushroom brown gravy I ordered for the steak? It's really for my garlic mashed potato's. A perfect combo. Consider this a Pro Tip. My other side is the green death pasta. You have to request it (another Pro Tip). I've tried pesto pasta everywhere and it's only this delicious at Garlic Bro's. The honorable mention is the grilled pork steak. The best pork steak in Stockton. The grilled lamb chops are good - just not as great as the other two entrees....but I'm a very tough critic when it comes to lamb chops. One thing to know at Garlic Bro's is they don't water down the mixed drinks. You definitely get what you pay for. And the price tag is actually pretty reasonable. Garlic Bro's can get very busy so come early for good seats and parking - because they don't take reservations.
