    Portion size was perfect and the food was full of flavor! This was our first time here, and we'll definitely be coming back

    Chicken Fried Steak _ Skillet?!  Not exactly what I ordered but when in Rome!
    Anthony P.

    We decided to eat here for breakfast due to a family member recommendation. Overall the place is small and hidden mostly. We were greeted immediately by a warm smile and friendly hello. We were seated immediately as they were not yet busy. The menu had a a lot of options but I was told the chili chilaquiles was great. My wife order that and I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. Overall the food was good and the chili chilaquiles was tasty. Overall not bad at all. There were just a few things we did not care for like the food flavor was a little lacking. It was good but just not a flavorful meal. The coffee was ordinary. Like truck stop coffee. I ordered a chicken fried steak and eggs and they turned it into a skillet all cut up. Made me think that they may have been trying to hide something like how flat the steak was or over cooked. Not really sure. And they had several big parties and one waitress working the entire restaurant. She was getting overwhelmed but dealt with it overall. If you're in town, give them a try. I will definitely be back and see how they grow overall and try a few other selections. It seems like a place a lot of the locals visit.

    Hubby and I were in cali for his family reunion and stayed in a hotel for the night. When we woke up we were hungry so I got on yelp to see what was in the area. I called around a few places and they had long waits being that it was a Sunday. We walked into 3 different spots and they weren't what we were expecting. J&Js was a hidden gem, a mom and pop shop located next to a liquor store. I brought my puppy in and no one said anything rude or off putting. The waitress was so sweet I forgot her name but she was really great. The food was delicious, I had a steak skillet with pancakes and hubby had a country fried steak with gravy. I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was is. Not sure when I'll be back in Hemet but if you're a local or ever in the area definitely stop by for brunch!

    This is defiantly a hole in the wall kind of place. I can see the locals love it. The place was packed with people in their small dining room area. The regular breakfast food was average/decent but let me tell you, do not order anything Mexican. The greenish/brown salsa they put on the food is not good. If your thinking of ordering Chilaquiles don't do it!!!!

    The Mexican Benedict - pupusa topped with chorizo, avocado, a perfectly poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. I could only finish one.

    Not going to lie, when we pulled up, I questioned if we should find somewhere else to have breakfast, but I'm glad we stayed. Total hole in the wall. My 2 kids and I stopped in on Mother's Day before hitting the road for 4+ hours and the place was packed. There were only 2 waitresses and they were busting it as waitresses, hostesses and food runners. How they did this with a smile on their faces, I don't know, but they were fabulous. My vegetarian daughter was all about the banana and Nutella crepes. She hardly ever eats, but there was only one left on her plate when she finally said she was full, so I call that a win! My son had the deluxe breakfast and I had the Mexican Benedict, which was delicious. It's a very small place, so if you have more than a party of 4, you'd probably find yourself with a substantial wait during busy timea.

    Been coming here for some years now and the food is always as delicious as the first. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good cozy bite to eat. The service is great and one of the main reasons I keep returning.

    How did I NOT know this place existed?! I've been on a mission to avoid the "coffee with a side of…read moredrive-thru chaos" from big chain spots, and somehow this hidden gem was right here the whole time. (I'm new in the area) Had a little mom + son coffee date at Cafe Mercato and honestly... 10/10 experience. I got a coffee so big it looked like it came with a gym membership, and my son was living his best life with the perfect hot chocolate. Everybody won. The vibe in this place is SO cute and unique, so cozy, artsy, and full of personality. Every table and decoration felt like it had a story. It's the kind of spot where you walk in planning to stay 15 minutes and suddenly it's been an hour and you're emotionally attached to the coffee mug. Absolutely love this little spot and will definitely be a regular. Must try!

    After a year of visiting Cafe Mercato, I'm so happy to see how popular it's become. I've now tried…read moremost of the well-known cafés in the area, and this one is still in my top favorites. I've even featured them on my TikTok because their coffee is often perfectly brewed. It's one of my go-to spots when friends visit--I always bring them here for coffee and food because it's such a cozy and delicious place to relax. My personal favorites are the Mazapán Frappé, the horchata, and the iced chocolate Oaxaqueño. They're all so good and feel unique compared to typical café drinks. I'll be honest--occasionally the coffee frappés can be a little inconsistent (sometimes more ice means a slightly watered-down flavor), but this doesn't happen often, and I definitely have my favorite barista who always gets it just right. As for the food, I've tried quite a few items and the Bella Panini with the tomato soup is AMAZING. Seriously--the tomato soup is fire. I used to be someone who didn't like tomato soup at all, but theirs completely changed my mind. It's not overly creamy and it's seasoned in a way that makes it less acidic and really flavorful. (Edit : Tomato soup had no flavor today April 20th hopefully just a hiccup ) Their pastries are also very good! The danishes are buttery and soft and always taste fresh. Honestly, if you're still going to Starbucks or Coffee Bean instead of trying Cafe Mercato, you're missing out. The only thing I'd love to see added is a rewards system and possibly an online drive-up ordering option--I think they'd benefit a lot from both.

    You're here for the review. Here it is…read more BOMB. Everything on the menu is delicious. I've tried just about every food item, and today went with the sausage burrito. Thick, meaty, eggy, cheesy goodness. Today I was lucky to receive both the green and red salsas. Which is better? Naw, it doesn't work like that. They each have their own flavors and hit differently with each bite. Not enough kick for y'all, but for me it was perfect (lightweight). For coffee, I went with El Chino, which is their version of a Vietnamese Coffee. Without stirring, you're going to get that moment you're looking for. After a good stir, you're sipping on a creamy, but strong coffee. Perfect for those who need a quick boost. The girls here always take care of you, answers your questions and provide the best service. If you're not a fan of lines, set your alarm to come a little earlier than your normal coffee run (pre-9am). Either way, come here and try it yourself, you won't be disappointed.

The inside was nice and quiet with low pop/indie music playing which was quiet enough for someone to be working on their laptop. Low ambient noise especially considering it's next to a busy street. Service was super fast and nice. Burrito and chilaquiles were delicious. Nice flavoring in the loaded burrito and chilaquiles were spicy but not too spicy.
