    First time being here! I've always looked at the reviews to find that there are no pictures of the space or pictures of the menu, so I decided to do a more detailed review. I've heard of this place a few times and finally had time to try it out! Visually: It's a cute, decorated, and very spacious place. Super clean, spread out, and different types of seating; whether you like sitting in a high chair, low chair, or a booth. The booths have access to charging which is a must especially if you'll be working here for awhile. The tables are big and wide which is a huge plus! Most of the other coffee shops in town don't have big tables so it always feels crammed and hard to do work, but thankfully the tables here are big enough to bring out your stuff and work. Internet: They do give out internet codes that are valid for an hour after you log in. I don't see it as an inconvenience, but I feel that some people might. It's a super easy process to log in, so not a problem for me. I think the place being connected to Merced County of Education could be the reason why they might have to keep track of wifi usage, given that maybe there are students who work here or are in the space. Service: Excellent service! Nice and polite staff. If you're seated, they will bring you your drinks and food, which is really nice, especially if you're working! I saw the staff, sanitizing the tables and seats after customers sat down and left. Menu: Huge variety of drinks. What's available is hot or cold coffee, tea, smoothies, fountain drinks, juice, and water. They have a pretty big breakfast, lunch, and salad menu. All items are served at all hours of their opening hours, which is very convenient! What I ordered: Drink: Hot Matcha Latte with an extra scoop of matcha and substituted the milk for oatmilk. It was pretty good, I would definitely get it again. Food: Full, Hot, Tuscan Chicken Sandwich on Honey Wheat Bread with Pesto Aioli, provolone cheese all veggies and Avocado Absolutely delicious, would definitely get it again! Super fresh! Your food comes out on a tray if you're eating here, it's nicely wrapped, and they cut your sandwich in half which is very convenient for me! Overall, I love the space and intentionality. The staff is extremely friendly, they checked up on us and made us feel comfortable. The food and drinks were delicious. Awesome place to do work, grab a drink and food!

    Came here for the first time today! And this place is seriously great. The inside is nicely decorated and it's very spacious super convenient when needing to get work done. It's also pretty quiet which again is a huge plus when needing to get work done. Customer service was great! Everyone was super nice and friendly! As for the coffee, it was SO DELICIOUS. I got the churro caramel macchiato and it was wonderful! It was sweet but not too sweet either! I recommend everyone try that drink when they go there! It's that good! The food was equally as delicious, I got half a sandwich with the chicken. The chicken was wonderfully cooked! It was seasoned well and not dry at all! More than the coffee or the food, I loved the fact they had local teenagers working there and gaining important life skills. Supporting the community and serving great coffee and food, why wouldn't you wanna come here?! I will definitely be coming back and I recommend everyone try this wonderful place out too!

    I'm so over this Elizabeth H. trying to get all the firsts around this town with her barely mediocre and not so insightful reviews on a place (just see her two-line review of Wired). now EH, sit back and read a real review. i am on the hunt for a good latte around town. after trying to find any local cafe outside the corporate franchise of starbucks and one failed attempt at the local "coffee block" it is hard to say which one of the local cafe's is worse. first, a background on Wired Cafe. It is a joint venture with the Merced County Office of Education, were at Wired, government employees train underpriveleged and developmentally disabled local youth in the workings of a food service counter and a coffee bar. the space is quite large, one area on the northern side furnished with tables, a couch and a piano while on the southern side a round-table of computers await for local internet access. my service here today was a bit stiff at first, but with a little work of my charm, i was able to break down the government employee (no youth was there today training). with a little talk about what the space is about, her showing me their non-organic soy milk used for latte drinks, and the pouring of my drink in a styrofoam cup (oh brother, i was about to lose it. nothing is worse than a styrofoam cup. yet i stood there wondering why I came in to experience the slow service, but the styrofoam was worse. i wished it to speed up to get back to my cup of pu erh calling my name at the office). i digress. the pluses of Wired are these: 1. They offer Santa Cruz Roasting Co. Coffee 2. They also offer an assortment of Mighty Leaf Teas (which are completely compostable tea bags) 3. The biggest plus is they provide a service for youth to gain skills in customer service and supplying them with a job 4. The lunch is cheap. You can get a half sammy, drink for less than $3. or go for a full sammy and drink for less than $5. that's a steal if you ask me. as for the drink, it was like Elizabeth H's reviews, less than mediocre. you have two choices for drink sizes, 16oz or 20oz. and you only get one shot of espresso in either, you can add one for 50 cents. so i did and my drink was $3.50. i took a few sips and i just could not stomach it. the espresso seemed flat (i don't think she pressed a fair amount) and the soy milk used (Pacific Foods) seemed like water that was lightlly thickened with a hint of soy milk. unfortunately, the local cafe's in Merced have a long way to go. maybe because i'm holding on to my dear Spike's in San Francisco. yet again, the bay area has spoiled me and I doubt anything in this area will live up to the services and products provided in the Bay Area.

    That cholocate muffin tho!
    Suzy N.

    Stopped by for a quick bite and was pleasantly supposed! I had the Italian Turkey sandwich in a combo and I chose the pasta salad as a side and it comes with a drink. Very reasonable price and the 1/2 sandwich was quite filling. I even picked up a chocolate muffin. Yum!

    Great place, food is delicious and service is great. If your looking for some downtime and a cool quiet place come to wired.

    Amazing!!

    See all

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.

    Yummy bagels! I…read morestopped by Bagel Tyme with some friends on a weekend morning. If I could describe this place in one word it would be "BUSY." 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!

    They messed up my order, added cream cheese when I had specifically asked for no cream cheese…read more I brought it back and they made me a new one, but accidentally charged me for it. They also missed on my son's order, he ordered two bagels and only got one, so he had to go back and order the second one again. The bagels themselves were good, and the place has a nice independent vibe. I wanted to like it, and would go back, just wish they would listen better.

I was out in Merced a little too early for a work meeting, and wanted some coffee, but not a chain place. Lucky me I was actually just down the street from Jenny's bakery. I was warmly greeted as I came in and immediately feel the family charm of this business. Oldies were playing on the radio, and Jenny's husband was getting things ready in the kitchen. When I found out the Portuguese breakfast was her family recipe beans, and a half order of biscuits and gravy, I was set on what I wanted. I was provided an colorful coffee mug and allowed to have coffee to my hearts content. I opted for the holiday blend. It had a lovely hint of spices, but was not overwhelming. I had no longer sat down than my nice pipping hot bowl of Portuguese beans was placed in front of me and I thought it was a half order. They say it's a half order but that is the huge biscuit and with gravy you would need a party of four to finish. The flavor of the beans were just wonderful. I filled myself up on those and then sopped up some of the beans gravy with the biscuits. My taste buds were very happy. My stomach was over full. I enjoyed some banter with Jenny and her husband along with some patrons that came in. They really try to make everyone feel so much like they're just walking into a family kitchen. I highly recommend a stop and introduce yourself and make some new friends and find yourself a lovely bakery. That's been there right around the corner from the park.
