Ditch the line or drive thru at SB and give this quaint little coffee shop your business just once and I promise you will be a regular customer. The young man behind the counter was friendly and his customer service was A+. He made me the best “Mexican mocha” aka the Aztec on the menu. It was Heaven. The price in on point. My grandkids loved their smoothies and cookies and my daughter in law ordered a second coffee…it was THAT good. What a great experience!

Great place, but the sandwiches are smaller than expected. I expected it to be bigger since they are $6.99.I bough two drinks and they were great.

I come to Mendota for work a few times a month and this coffee shop has been recommended to me over and over. I finally went in and gave it a try. I should have tried it sooner. The employees are friendly, they have so many menu options and it would be a great place to come back to and do work. Their sizes are generous and prices are reasonable.

I feel something has changed with the way it is being run now. Workers definitely need to work on their customer service. It all feels very fast paced like, hurry up and order. I definitely miss the old crew that used to work there.

I like this coffee shop. They use quality ingredients. I come often to meet with friends or clients. I don’t have a favorite drink as I am always in the mood for something different hot/cold and caffeinated/decaf. There are decaf options to accommodate those who cannot drink caffeine. Staff is friendly and chill.

Stopped here on our drive up north and loved it. They have pictures of all their drinks which was amazing and made it easy to choose. I got the meat breakfast burrito, very tasty and the salsa was definitely a breath of fresh air compared to other options in the area. The women at the front was very sweet and friendly and took the time to explain all our questions. Would recommend. Also good prices!

Music is great. The atmosphere is fantastic and the drinks are the best. Peach raspberry tea is amazing but swapping the energy drink for the tea is also very good. Both regular and sugar free energy drinks available.

More detailed review (since the owner took the time to reply). 🙂
Summary: Overall this is a nice place. Minus one star for less than amazing muffin and non-functioning steamer wand. It was worth the extra 10 minutes compared to stopping at Starbucks (total detour is about 20 minutes extra drive time) if you are driving from LA to SF or vice versa. If you are already in town – definitely go.
I stopped by on my way from LA to the Bay Area, based on the star rating and the fact that local places are more interesting than Starbucks.
First off – biggest positive is the pricing. It is insanely cheap. I mean – neighborhood bake sale cheap. All the baked items are about 1/3 the price you would expect in a big city. Crazy. Drink pricing is also lower than I would have expected, just less insanely so.
Service was friendly and helpful.
To the quality of the food & drinks – overall, it was decent, but not perfect. I had a scone, a cinnamon muffin, and an iced mocha. The mocha was quite good – I haven’t had iced mochas in a while, but this was definitely a good one. Based on the menu, I’d say the iced drinks/frappes are the specialty, and I’d say you’re probably pretty safe to order any of them and enjoy it quite a bit. The scone was also pretty good. Nice texture and flavor. Enjoyed it. The muffin was very crumbly and on the dry side – I was driving and it wasn’t worth my time to figure out how to eat it without getting it all over everything. Taste was fine (ignoring the ‘slightly dry’ aspect).
I had wanted to get a Gibraltar/Cortado/Flat white. Barista was nice, but didn’t know exactly how to do that (not on the menu). We settled on a 6 oz latte, which would have been fine, but the frothing nozzle was broken, so I ended up going with the ice mocha instead.
