Unfortunately, this time around I had to keep it basic with an almond milk latte. I do love that they have multiple sugar free syrup options.

The atmosphere is super welcoming perfect whether you're just vibing, on your laptop, or catching up with someone. The service stands out too-staff are friendly, attentive, and actually take care of you, not just rush you through. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The place itself stays really clean, including the seating area and even the restrooms, which is always a big plus. It gets busy, but it's because people genuinely enjoy being there. Overall, great drinks, great service, clean environment, and a solid vibe all around. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.

Dare I say the best coffee in the 209???…read more Hola Cafecito is the most perfect addition to main street Merced. The coffee, the culture, the vibes, the service! I have zero complaints. I try to make it here every trip home because it is so damn good. Let's start with the goods: the dirty horchata is done very well. Not overly sweet but you actually taste the rice & cinnamon and all the things that make horchata wonderful. The only thing that would make it better is if they offered this dairy free but minor detail! I will suffer lol The cafe con leche is delic! Brown sugar & cinnamon, another unbeatable combo. You really can't go wrong with any drink here. Not only is the space beautiful but the staff is super kind. My 83 year old dad is not comfortable ordering in coffee shops like this and they're always patient and helpful. No notes, 10/10 recommend.

This place is a hidden gem. We were headed out of town and drove through Livingston. Mind you I…read moreknow nothing about this quaint town. But my bestie goes to this spot often so I had to check it out. It's off the beaten path and in a house. But they have signage so you know you're at the right spot. You walk in and BAM!!! It's a modern looking coffee shop. They had coffee. They had pastries. They had tables and chairs. They had cool wall signs to take selfies with. And they had swag! Everything on their menu sounded good. I opted for a hot Horchata latte and I was quite pleased with it. Bestie got their seasonal pumpkin coffee, iced. We shared a Dubai Chocolate croissant. OMG that filling is nom nom nom. And the staff was super cool. I enjoy just being able to have a fun conversation. I totally dog an upbeat atmosphere and that's what I experienced at this unexpected coffee house. Now I know what my bestie has been raving about. I honestly would rarely make it out to Livingston seeing that I'm in Oregon, but this place left me with such a good impression, I just had to share. I do hope to return again to try more of their creations. I got a couple of bumper stickers and will be reppin' them in Oregon.

Yummy bagels! I…read morestopped by Bagel Tyme with some friends on a weekend morning. If I could describe this place in one word it would be "BUSY." The line to order was wrapped around inside the shop and out the door. I would say the bagels are 100% worth the wait though. They offer a wide variety of fresh bagels, cream cheeses, and toppings. They even have a sandwich menu! I ordered the Beesting Bagel Sandwich which comes on your choice of bagel with egg, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a hot honey drizzle. It was absolutely delicious! The bagels were super soft with a nice crust on the outside. The cream cheese was perfectly thick and creamy. The hot honey drizzle really tied everything together well! Because it was so busy, it did take a while to receive our food. The line to order, although long, did go by pretty quickly. There were some tables inside but it was too crowded to find a spot. Luckily we were able to find a table outside while we waited for our orders. Whenever an order was ready, the workers walked around both inside and outside shouting the name of the order which made it convenient for us to not have to fight the crowd to the counter. The only issue I felt there was was the cleanliness. When you are standing inside, you can quite literally see years of caked on dirt on some of the not frequently touched surfaces. The lamps probably had an inch of dust built up. Although this isn't the most important detail, it still makes me question the cleanliness of the whole establishment. Despite this, I won't be held back from revisiting if I am in the area again!

They also missed on my son's order, he ordered two bagels and only got one, so he had to go back and order the second one again. The bagels themselves were good, and the place has a nice independent vibe. I wanted to like it, and would go back, just wish they would listen better.

The great experience became even better as we tasted our food. Everything was so delicious! The best bahn mi sandwich I ever had - and the kids and husband absolutely loved their meals as well.
