Went here for breakfast. Had the Breakfast burrito with sausage and veggies and the ham and egg breakfast sandwich on sourdough. Food came out piping hot. We sat outdoors because we had our dog with us (They even brought out a cup of water for our pup). Service was excellent from start to finish. Will definitely come back. read more

It's all about that Jalapeno popper sandwich. But in all honesty, there isn't a single item that I haven't liked from this establishment. The vibe is vibing and the food and coffee is chilling. read more

Found a new favorite place for a quick breakfast! The burrito was big and delicious, just wish it had a little more sausage in it. The place is small, but it is decorated really cool. The service was also great, the owner checked in to see how we had liked the food. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The best sandwhiches and soups! My fav is the pesto, so yummy and the bread must be home made because it's so soft. we're usually able to share a sandwhich because they are huge. The service is always top notch too! You can call them directly to order ahead for pick up too. read more

This place clearly is serving up homemade deliciousness. My turkey sandwich came with heart-warming tomato bisque that was not from a can and my husband's side was potato salad that tasted "just like a baked potato". The interior is quirky and fun. The counter service was quick and friendly. read more

Joe on the Go has great breakfast IF you can catch them with all the ingredients. They seem to constantly be out of either bread, meats (like sausage), etc... it's a little frustrating that they're out of ingredients so often considering they're closed for the entire weekend... Staff also doesn't have the friendliest attitude a lot of the time, busy or not... This restaurant has a lot of potential, but management is definitely their biggest weak spot. Saddens me to have to give them a 3/5, but the consistent misses are deserving of a 3. read more

Pest pesto past and potato salad in Merced easily. Owners are great too. Love the decoration and vibes.

Super cute inside. Love the decor. Sandwich was good. The soup was tasty but I wish it was thicker/creamier. $16. I'll be back to try breakfast read more

Amazing little hidden gem of a lunch spot conveniently located. Not just soup, salad, and sandwiches but true taste treats. Best Gazpacho! Oh, don't try the baked goods....you'll fall in love with them too!! I'm admittedly partial but I have high expectations read more

Phenomenal food, coffee, and atmosphere. The service was great and was very quick. I will definitely be coming back.

I come through Merced for a work trip and stop here every time for lunch. The roasted vegetable sandwich and pesto pasta salad are my absolute favorites. I sometimes get an iced coffee and it is a generous portion. The bee pollen tea is quite good too, although expect it to be sweet! The staff is friendly (you can tell it is a family run spot). I always get my food to go, but the inside is sweet with fun skeleton decor. Overall, if you're in the area, it's worth popping by. read more

Friendly, clean, good food and reasonable prices. Support local businesses . And don't forget dessert! read more

We love Joe On the Go Cafe. It's such a laid back atmosphere. Even through their changes it's just nice to find places that are locally owned and unique. It doesn't matter what you order, you cannot go wrong. Everything is delicious. My favorite of course is the Pesto Chicken Sandwich. It's an absolute favorite of a lot of customers. They have excellent service. Never have I ever received anything less. If you haven't been there, I urge you to try it out. Support our local businesses. read more

My mother called in and ordered a breakfast burrito with egg whites and ham, dressing on the side, chicken pesto sandwich with aoli on the side and pesto pasta salad for the side. Then she ordered hers and that was a roasted veggie sandwich with garlic aoli on the side and chicken added and she wanted potato salad on the side with it too. The worker said it would be twenty minutes. We planned on having half of each sandwich to get to try both. We went to get it. The worker was masked and very kind. The order was ready. The restaurant was very clean. They have outside seating. No eating inside given these times. My pesto chicken sandwich was really great! Focaccia bread was fresh and delicious! Pesto chicken cooked perfectly! Very tasty aoli sauce too! Yum! The pesto pasta was OMG amazingly delicious! It has so much flavor! Cheesy gooey goodness! My mother said her veggie chicken sandwich was one of the best sandwiches! She said the potato salad was delicious and had a lot of flavor too! Fantastic lunch! Great service and delicious food! Highly recommended!!! They deserve every star!!! =) read more

I got the pesto chicken with loaded potatoes. I was disappointed and I will not be returning. The chicken was chewy and tasted re- heated and the potatoes tasted like liquid smoke. The Cashier kept my change for my to go order and assumed I wanted to tip him. MEH, BLAH read more

Cute cafe in a local shopping center. Love their food! Service is always fantastic. Will definitely go back. read more

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the awesome ambiance. It's definitely a spot I'd want to bring my friends and hang out at. The theme is really cool and the service is just as amazing. Everyone was super friendly and you can tell they care about the quality of the food and experience. I ordered a breakfast burrito and cappuccino and the portion sizes are great for the value not to mention how tasty everything was. Edit- also they sell handmade jewelry?? Super cool read more

Love this place the chicken salad wrap is the bomb super yummy and one of my favorites!

Maybe you should try leaving your phone on the hook. It's not the customers fault that you cannot handle the influx of customers and telephone calls and not all Calls are orders. Some are a simple question and when someone has to drive to your place just to ask it, it's really off rude and obnoxious. read more

Why do they only open 10-2?!!! Food is good but due to hours and limited service I can't give more starts

Excellent food, great service, and a very friendly staff. The pecan chicken wrap is to die for. Average lunch cost per person is about $10 and absolutely worth it. read more

Im from Louisiana. This probably one of the greatest most comforting placing Ive been at since being out here. Staff super friendly and is very patient. 10/10 read more

So I came in 10 minutes b4 2 I had no idea they closed at 2 they just looked at me so I asked if they were still open. And with hesitation said yes. I got 2 chicken sandwiches, the guy asked if he had some left, the lady I swear said enough for 1 but he gave us 2. When we opened the sandwiches there were only a few cubes of meat and sauce can't believe I spent 30 bucks on a few cubes of meat. And it was posted on fb and I replied with my disappointment and got called out for bashing. I just stated my opinion, like many do but if it's her establishment it will get deleted. I'll never go to this place again read more

Do not come here, do yourself a favor and go to Jantz or Bagel Thyme. The teller didn't check to see if they had the food we ordered after we placed our order. They didn't offer us a refund and instead of our bagels they gave us toast. Toast with butter....which was far cheaper than what we paid for. Normally restaurants would upgrade you to another food item and have you pay the difference, not here. We also had to tell them that they were out of coffee...and had to wait for them to brew a new batch because they didn't know. We tried to be nice and brought it up to them ourselves, but no one thanked us for letting them know or even smiled. When they brought the food out the woman uttered an offhand "sorry" with her back turned to us. Incredibly rude, especially to two people who didn't complain about being shorted for our money and who were being polite. They don't care about the food they serve or their customers. Poorly run. Absolutely not friendly. Will not be back. read more

This place used to be a drive-by coffee stand on R St., but now it's a sit-down (or take out) coffee shop where they serve breakfast and lunch, and occasionally cater dinner or have a special dinner once a month or so. They also cater-- both for "coffee" events and for weddings, etc. I've used this place for coffee, lunch, and I've had a nice dinner there at one of their once-a-month events. They do well with all three. Coffee: There's plentiful seating inside and out (unless more people hear about it, and it starts getting crowded). They serve the typical espresso, coffee, specialty mochas, italian sodas, and some tea. Don't come here for the tea, especially if you're a tea aficionado. Sorry. Lunch: Multiple times, my guy and I have eaten here-- sandwiches with a side of couscous, or salad, or pasta salad. Yum. They also have nice salads. It's high-quality, but good prices: no ice-berg lettuce here. Also, the staff are always friendly. Dinner: either call or stop by and find out when they're doing these special dinners. They turn down the lights, bust out candles and special decorations, and transform this cafeteria-like place into a romantic diner with tableclothes and gourmet prix-fix food. It's BYOB, but that's fine with me! We loved the soup (I think it was butternut squash with granny smith apple), the main courses were delish, the appetizers were gorgeous (nice cheeses and a small antipasto in a martini glass), and the dessert was rich and creamy (a chocolate mousse). Seriously, go here. I can't vouch for the catering, because I haven't experienced it. read more
