Usually I'm a big fan of the jantz bakery.today when I went in there though the service wasn't as good as usual waited 30 minutes for to cold sandwiches which they didn't tell me when they were ready as I was sitting there waiting probably an extra 15 minutes after the fact. When I went to leave upon checking my bag after I'd already left rent realize they didn't put my pie in the bag and had to go back and get it. Ultimately very frustrating when you're on a time restraint and you expect that what you order is going to take you an hour or so it'll worth of time and that you'll get all the items you asked for... Pretty disappointing read more

Really, really delicious food, coffee drinks, and baked goods! Their service is also warm and hospitable. It gets very crowded on the weekends, but if you're willing to wait, it's worth it! read more

I had their breakfast sandwich with coffe and it was delicious. I had a plain coffee aince i didnt see that they had special options. But sometimes just regular coffee option is good. read more

I love going here for lunch. It has a great atmosphere. The I love the food. It's very light and keeps me full. I don't feel heavy or bloated after eating here. read more

Wonderful service for breakfast , seating outside was just perfect, temperature was perfect and service was excellent. Great start for the 4th of July read more

Aside from one server, the service is great! I love their breakfast and pies. The country breakfast and breakfast sandwich with turkey are nice. The sugar-free boysenberry pie is really good! Sometimes, this place is a little too crowded, but I guess that's a great thing! :-) read more

Fast and friendly service, everyone is always smiling. I recently took home a Strawberry pie and it was incredible. It wasn't too sweet, had a great crust and was full of flavor. Will definitely be back again. read more

On our way to Yosemite we found this little gem. Delicious breakfast and lunch, great options for kids, and amazing brownies. Plus the bathroom is clean and cute. read more

I have returned three times and ordered the tuna melt with clam chowder. I love this place! The service is superb. The hostess is always cheerful and seats the guests immediately. All the waitresses are friendly and polite. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

We tried this cafe for the first time yesterday. We were extremely satisfied with both the food and service. I am picky about the temperature and freshness of my food so I am always hesitant when eating at restaurants. I usually have to send my soup back to reheat it or there's always something not up to my standards. This place was all around perfect. Jennae was our server, she was attentive and provided us with prompt service. She was able to recommend the cafe's favorites. She helped us join the reward program to maximize the perks for when we return, and we got a beverage for joining. Plus she informed us that Wednesday's are free slice of pie day! The food was fresh and tasty. I ordered the potato soup, turkey panini with a slice of the chocolate silk pie and the strawberry lemonade. Everything was exactly as I expected, worth eating. I hate going to places, wasting the money and calories eating something that tastes mediocre. Thanks for the great experience Jantz cafe. We will be back, maybe even weekly! This place is one of the best places I've eaten at in Merced. You must try it. read more

So far this place is all about the cookies. Tried the pumpkin snicherdoodle...wow! A lot of flavor and their cookies are on the side of cookie dough. I heard the food here was good too just haven't tried it. Their pumpkin pie had a lot of spices which was good in its own right. Also had the apple pie. Very apple-y and the light crunch sugary crust was awsome, very much like a Mc D apple pie with the best ideas of that. read more

the worst Banana cream pie all whipped cream and maybe 1/2 banana. will never tell someone to bring that fir dess again

It has been about 2 years since I've had Jantz and it still is as good as the first time I've eaten here. It would he nice if they came to Fresno where I live now so more people have the opportunity to enjoy home cooking. read more

Decided to stop here after work sets I always see it the coffee was pretty good the milky way. But the burrito that I got the breakfast burrito was so not worth $11 I can get a better burrito at Jack in the Box for less than 5 bucks all they put in it is egg and your choice of meat that's it. It was so dry I couldn't even eat half of the burrito I was gonna go back but I was already too far on the road read more

This place is amazing. If you like french toast, you have to try their cinnamon swirl french toast with dutch honey. Be careful not to get addicted to it. The employees are also very nice. read more

A great little place so you aren't just one if hundreds in the restaurant, this is our first visit and will not be our last. The Dutch Honey syrup is killer good. Put it on top of the Belgian waffle and it's a great breakfast. My wife had the cornbread and gravy which I must say was almost as my waffle. Make the effort, you'll be glad you did. I was! read more

Sam, the owner of Jantz Café here in Merced has become a friend. My wife and I have recently gone on a date here and loved it. We also live real close and it has been so convenient and refreshing to go to Jantz for a coffee, pastry, lunch, or anything that sounds refreshing that day. Grateful for you, Sam and Team Jantz! - Torrey Moe, State Farm Agent (Merced) read more

I usually love Jan's and eat breakfast there every Sat morning. But this morning the service was terrible. The waitress messed up my order terribly and when I sent it back she gave it back to me plus the items I was missing. Then they tried to pass off pecan pie as sweet potato pie, just to add to my disappointment I was going to complain at the register, and they never asked me how my meal was. What is going on at Jan's in Atwater? I even tried to complain to them on their website, but it is down, so I am going public. I am sooo disappointed. I hope this was a one - time thing. read more

food is very delicious! service is great plus free pie when you sign up for rewards

I love the pastries and the blackberry coffee. The food is ok. I know people around here love it but I think it's just ok. They do have gluten free bread which is a plus. read more

Good food, reasonable prices, nice variety, friendly staff, and pleasant atmosphere make it a nice place to dine. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

Best place to eat in Atwater and customer service is outstanding!! Charity is a gem!!

Best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. 10/10 would recommend those and the cinnamon rolls. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The chicken salad sandwich is also super popular and delicious! read more

I went to Jantz to get a pie for my work's Potluck. It was very unsettling as I felt invisible waiting to be waited on. I felt as if I was back in the days of segregation. Not one female (BTW they're all Caucasian) offered a simple "someone will be right with you". I had to wait for another person of color to finally ask if I needed assistance (Salvador). Needless to say I will not be coming here again. I'd rather pay more elsewhere for better service. read more

the service is always as good as the food... which is GREAT. Lots of good sweet stuff to indulge in too. Homemade

They have the best pie. I have gone to Jantz three times and have never been let down, every pie I have bought was so good, and I am getting ready to go again to get one for my garage sale, so we have something to go with are coffee. read more

Delicious!! The staff was very helpful. Let me tell you, I had a slice of lemon meringue pie, it was homemade, the freshness was amazing×!! Not going back to my grocery stores, can't find that goodness in the grocery store. Want authentic,fresh, delicious pie??? Come to Jantz Cafe!! read more

I recently tried their breakfast burrito and it was primarily filled with flavorless potatoes. It fills a bit like an off brand Panera Bread. A little overrated for my taste read more

Found this gem by searching Yelp looking for a cafe for lunch. Excellent food and service!!! Their homemade bread is worth a visit!!!!

So busy this morning but still great service- food delicious . So personable and pleasant .

LOVE this place, everyone is always so friendly and so helpful. The food is delicious my all time favorite is the Tuna Melt!!

Awesome chicken salad! Seriously, eat the chicken salad. It's yummy and buttery and you can get it on top of a green salad with a side of bread or you can get it as a sandwich. either way it satisfies my chicken salad cravings. Go on Wednesday and get the chocolate silk pie. It's delicious and your nutritionist will probably scorn you for it but go for it, Yolo baby! read more

I wanted to update my review because I was contacted immediately after my last negative review. I want to thank Manager Sam for showing such care and concern about my experience at Jantz. I appreciated his concern and his willingness to listen to me. I will give it another shot and pray those previous experiences will be in the past. Thank You. I'll give the care and concern shown five stars. read more

This place honestly blew my mind. I never liked writing reviews of any sort, but I feel like this place is worth it. Prices weren't bad at all, I enjoyed the chicken wrap; it was a simple yet delicious meal. I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be pretty great! read more

The food was amazing!!!Michelle our server gave my sister, Mom, and I the best service... she was attentive and welcoming the whole time we were there!!! Thank you Michelle read more

This restaurant has the best backed goods in town and has great service. It is very clean and comfortable. The muffins are delicious and the entire place is amazing. Thank you! read more

Service was bad as soon as I walked in. They made a rude comment as they sat me and then took orders from the three groups that came in after me. They then proceeded to clear tables while I waited, at which point I went next door and had a seat and my order in less than two minutes. Won't be back. read more

I came in and the girl in the red dress with pokadotted dress asked for how many, i said two. Then she asked if she could get a name, i said Vivian. She writes it down and looks at me and says Vivian..okay. I waited 50mins and watch 5 people who came in after us be seated before us. I went up to the same girl in a red dress with poka dots and ask why its taking soooo long?! And why people are getting seated before us when they just came in and we've been sitting here for 50mins?! She then asks for the name and i say Vivian and she says she doesn't even have a Vivian on the list! I get that sometimes u make mistakes but they should've eventually noticed that we've been sitting there for a while and wonder why? Why they haven't gotten a table for this long while people that came in 5-10mins ago are getting seated? They should've noticed and come up to us and ask for the name i gave them. Like we're not just sitting here for no reason... hopefully it wont happen again. But other than that our waiter cool and the food was . We got the Italian panini and a Belgian waffle combo. Also, thank you Sam for reaching out and being professional the situation!! Much appreciated! read more

See all

This place is as legit as it gets for pies! I always order their boysenberry pie and crazy thing is, I don't like fruit pies!!! I will, however eat pies from Jantz! Why? Because their crust is perfect with sugary crystals and the right amount of butter... Mmmm delicious. They also have a tasty banana cream pie... Yummo! This place is comparable to Bay Area quality baked goods! Can't go wrong getting baked goods here! read more

Small place that makes their own bread and pastries. My daughter liked her cinnamon roll but the side of bacon (4 slices) was $5. If it was good thick cut bacon then maybe but it was just ok bacon. I had the 3 meat omelet. It had quite a bit of meat but surprisingly very little cheese. There was just a little bit on top and almost none inside. Because of this the meat inside just rolled away from it as soon as you cut the egg. The biscuit was pretty dry and could have used some butter or something but they didn't bring any to the table with the food. The gravy was not great. It is obviously not made with bacon or sausage grease and flour like grandma's. They use a decent amount of corn starch in the gravy because it was a little clumpy and gelatinous and very white in color. Overall I would say I probably dont plan to go back when it was just ok but the price was a little steep. read more
