    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Met a friend for coffee on a Saturday morning. When we got there the line was out of the door so we sat outside and waited for things to calm down before placing our order. We ended up with coffee and chai. The service was good, the pricing is average and the restaurant itself has a positive vibe. We did not get to try any food. Will definitely visit for food soon and update the review. Also plenty of parking is a plus.

    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

    This is such a nice spot! It's huge inside, lots of table space, chairs, plugs available to charge your computer/electronics, a long area, and rooms you can reserve for meetings (I'm not sure on the fee for it). I ordered an iced matcha latte and the B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg, Cream cheese) Sandwich. It was all yummy, service was great. The vibe of the place is really nice and it's clean. I definitely will go back and if I was a student I would definitely study here.

    The staff are friendly! Ambiance is lively, filled with people and others who come to study. It does get busy though but I don't mind it! The white mocha is good, probs my favorite drink so far.

    We had a Galantines event there for my Junior League of San Joaquin County women's group!!We brought our own food in, but the venue has rooms that hold up to 50 or so people. We had this event in the main coffee shop area after closing. We were able to decorate the tables to our liking for our event. So thankful our group had this nice place to have our event/fundraiser at.

    I've been going to Waterloo Rib for years. Today, my sister took me because I did her taxes and…read moreshe's getting a nice tax refund. 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. The three serves that were there attending to us, need better training. The food is always great and I will go back.

What a mistake! A person who didn't wanna wait any longer gave us their buzzer. After we got seated, we handed our buzzer in. To my husband, surprise, the hostess was extremely, extremely rude and replied to him. We don't do that here!!!! Our waitress was extremely pleasant and professional! 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. Our waitress gave us a couple of extra ribs in our to go containers. That was very kind of her. Unfortunately, we won't be dining here again.

Our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. Never had to call him over for anything. We were constantly checked on and he made sure we had everything we needed. Wish I got his name but was hard with all the chaos. Service was also prompt. Didn't have to wait long for our food considering the amount of people we had. I ordered the Margherita pizza and side salad. The pizza was yummy. Starting with the crust which is just how I like mine. Crisp edges but also bread like. Had the right amount of marinara and enough toppings to not make it soggy with a generous amount of mozzarella. It came out nice and hot and so full of flavor. I really enjoyed it. The portion was a lot for me but no complaints here because I had some leftover to bring home to enjoy the following day too. They let me bring in a cake that I made (didn't charge extra) which they kept in their fridge until we were ready for it. When they brought it out they added a sparkler on it and a group of them came to sing along with us. Overall a wonderful experience. Not only would I recommend this place but would also return.

The sandwich was thick with the juiciest chicken. I loved the garlic fries. They were super garlicky with a crispy cheese on top. The fries are thin and crinkle cut. They were the perfect mix of crispy yet juicy. One thing to note, if you order for pickup, make sure to arrive promptly because the food can get pretty soggy otherwise. The side sauce was pretty good too. I wish there was an online substitution option though because I'd prefer something like ranch instead. This spot's prices are a touch higher compared to restaurants in the area but the quality and portions really justify it. The employees are incredibly kind. When I stopped by to pickup my order, there was an employee cleaning the outside patio who immediately stopped what she was doing to open the door for me, went inside and washed her hands before even handing me the bag. The small details like this really make the experience so much better. It is especially reassuring to see how sanitary they are here too. Despite looking a bit small from the outside, it it quite spacious and modern inside. It has that modern hipster restaurant feel. On a warm day, it would be nice to sit under their covered patio. I will be returning to try more of their menu!
