Although they offer pastries, cookies, bagels, and breakfast items, I wasn't hungry, but I was definitely tempted. The cashiers were nice, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. The coffee was really good, but what I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. The shop is in an old building with high ceilings and large windows. There are different seating areas with tables, couches, and large stuffed chairs, and the space is decorated with vintage items. As I sat there, I realized it is called "Mission Coffee" for a reason: everything sold at the café supports the Visalia Rescue Mission. There were signs showing the number of meals and showers they have provided. Along with having a really good coffee shop experience, it felt good knowing that my purchase was supporting a meaningful cause.

I seen a white guy come in and out and he was after us. And another. I just had a brown sugar shaken espresso. And then I over hear another woman say - she just started her period - exact words. And then the woman in the maroon shirt mentions my drink as a diabetic shaken espresso. Wow. I'm ok to never come back. You don't me honey. I don't know you. People change their drinks all the time. The place was clean. And it's nice inside. But no thanks. I don't support establishments who act like this towards anybody. We should all be respected and feel welcome. And I tipped them too. So disappointing.

I've definitely been coming here since the beginning (before patio seating and mobile orders) haha thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded (3 locations now -- Visalia, Tulare, Fresno). There's something for everyone on their Menu. I personally believe that they have some of the best matcha's around. BUT... if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener, you probably won't like a real matcha from here -- I say this because some will complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol--all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out.. definitely a favorite here in Visalia! Service and time... always as expected. You are getting hand crafted drinks and food, so don't expect them to rush. ****Rush hour in the am and during lunch hours**** The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products. This was a Huge plus for me, because sometimes I like to ask the employees for their recommendations or personal favorites! They usually end up being pretty darn good Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha my mom loves their avo or seasonal toast/ my dad loves the breakfast burritos! I will always come here for food/homemade pastries, a drink, to work, or to hang out with my loved ones! Thank you Component team for making every visit a good one

Component Coffee Lab sits tucked behind the downtown buildings, the kind of spot you don't stumble…read moreinto by accident. You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

It was closed on Friday - Sunday due to renovations, so I was pretty bummed out that I didn't get a chance to stop by this coffee joint until Monday before heading back home, better late than never :P Vibe & atmosphere were welcoming with bohemian and modern themed decors. The furnitures were carefully selected to match the room as well as the curated plants, fake & real lol. They also sell handmade candles, "smokey the Bear" prevent wildfires shirts and cute "MUPS" - Mugs + Cups. The baristas were so sweet and friendly; they recommended me the right amount of espresso shots & sweetener for my Americano. My coffee was smooth, caliente and filling. Woke me up just in time for brunch! I cannot wait to return here to try the other blends on the menu & explore more of this town. Thank you for such a welcoming first time experience, forever will be remembered as the only coffee spot in town that everyone loves!

It was a short trip, wish we'd have more time to linger and enjoy the place.

Which I am…read morepersonally obsessed with, because nothing gives me a baseline level of panic quite like having to make awkward eye contact with a server every four minutes just to beg for a refill. So having a massive jar of soda already right in front of me? Huge win. Now, moving on to the slightly traumatizing part: they did not bring out bread to the table. Excuse me? I'm sorry, but if I am sitting down for Italian, table bread is not an optional courtesy--it is a fundamental human right. And it became an even bigger issue when my fettuccine arrived, because the portion size was... let's just say aggressively small for a dinner entree. I was expecting a meal, not a decorative sample. However... it was infuriatingly good. They make their own pasta fresh in-house, and the texture was honestly undeniable. My husband ordered the Margherita pizza, and he literally declared--with complete, uncharacteristic enthusiasm--that it was hands-down the best Margherita pizza he has ever gotten. So, massive points there. What was not a massive point, however, was the subterranean seating situation. We were escorted downstairs into the basement, which was pitch black. But more importantly: the stairs are completely unlit. I'm sorry, but they are actively asking to get sued. It is a litigious nightmare waiting to happen. Someone is going to take one wrong step in the dark, tumble down that staircase, and own the entire restaurant by next Tuesday. They are practically begging for a lawsuit. That being said... despite the pitch-black staircase of death and the tragic lack of dinner rolls, overall? I really liked it. The food completely won me over, and I would definitely go back. I will just be bringing a flashlight and my own emergency focaccia next time.

Since we got there for a late breakfast there was only one other person dining but we've passed by in the mornings and have seen it quite full. We both got the biscuits and gravy with a side of hashbrowns. I'm from the south where biscuits and gravy are staple and these completely lived up to some of my favorites back home. The biscuits were homemade, perfectly soft and chewy with a good density. Loved the hashbrowns as well, which were just crispy enough and didn't need any extra salt. We also got some donuts. I had a chocolate one and it was delicious. I'd say it was different than your typical Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donut, but still amazing and fresh! Get there early if you're in search of donuts because they do go quickly. There is plenty of seating, booths and tables. They also have a cooler full of drinks such as juice, milk, gatorades, sodas, etc. Prices are also very cheap! I believe we paid about $13 for two large biscuits and gravy, two hashbrowns, and four donuts. The portions are also incredibly generous. You will definitely be full and might have have some leftovers! Everything seemed very clean too. I look forward to going back so I can try some of the other items they offer.

Donuts & Burgers To Go has been Farmersville's donut spot for decades the kind of place where old…read moremen drink coffee, swap stories, and keep the room warm with nostalgia. The vibe is vintage, the tables and chairs are straight out of another era, and the coffee tastes like every diner coffee in America, simple, comforting, familiar. The donuts are good. Fair price, fresh, exactly what they should be. But I came to test the other half of the name, the "burgers", only to find out they don't sell burgers at all. So breakfast it is. I ordered the Number 2: eggs, hash browns, sausage, biscuits and gravy. The hash browns were more mashed potatoes than crisp, soft, mushy, barely holding shape. I asked for sunny side up; I got well‑done. The sausage patty tasted store‑bought, nothing special. The biscuits and gravy were the best part, soft, flaky biscuit, flavorful gravy, though the presentation was odd: biscuit on the plate, gravy in a Styrofoam bowl, forcing me to dunk it like a science experiment. The menu is small, outdated, and missing items. I tried ordering chicken fried steak, unavailable. Maybe for the day, maybe forever. Hard to tell. They also sell boba and trays of Asian food, which makes the identity of the place even more confusing. This shop shines where it always has: donuts and coffee. But the breakfast feels like an afterthought, nostalgic, yes, but stuck in time. Vintage is fine. Tradition is fine. But menus need updating, and breakfast needs more care. Come for the donuts. Come for the coffee. For breakfast? Not so much.
