    It's nice to have something different than fast food and fried food to eat on a road trip. This place is simple, they offer sandwiches and drinks and that about it. Service was quick and friendly. We got croissant sandwiches which were on fresh buttery croissants. I wish they had other cheese than American. Also the turkey wasn't the best quality. But it did the trick and I like that they offer so many fresh veggies. I also got banh mi which was good. The teriyaki chicken was hot, the veggies were cool, and the bread was crusty. We'll definitely stop here when passing through.

    super convenient stop off the highway! unfortunately they didn't pick up the phone for advanced ordering, so we had to wait for our food. they also don't sell bubble waffles anymore :( however, everything else was pretty good and cheap! we were very satisfied after our meal. the drinks were a bit too sweet but fine after the ice melted

    Call or text your order!!

    Amazing breakfast sandwiches, amazing Customer Service as well! It is Take out only! But great all around!

    The layout of this cafe is stuck in a pandemic time capsule. There is no indoor dining area, as all the tables and chairs are still stacked up like most places during the height of the pandemic. There is potential space outside, but there are no tables or seating either. As far as I could see, there was only one person taking orders and preparing the food on a Saturday morning. There could be a 15 to 20 minute wait for your orders . The breakfast sandwiches tasted like they're straight out of a microwave. The banh mi sandwich was better, but the steamed pork also tasted like it was freshly microwaved. It didn't have a lot of flavor. For a small shopping center right off the freeway, it was a nice rest stop during road trips, but I didn't feel it was anything special.

    Happy to see that their prices are the same! And the sandwiches are still fresh and delicious, too! Great service - a great road trip lunch stop.

    The employee's were so sweet! I appreciated the small talk during our transaction. My boba tea drink was delicious and the sandwich bread was a little tough. But the food inside was fantastic! I would recommend expanding your pallet and trying the food!!!

    T4 has been me and my family's go-to boba spot for many years. And watching it open in Lathdrop…read moretoo, I cant believe I havent made a review until now.. The diverse options of boba, milkshakes, and snacks has ALWAYS exceeded our expectations! No seriously, check out the menu. I always get the popcorn chicken, and calamari! So gooddd omg now I want it again now that im typing about this.. Especially the environment AHHH It's clean, refreshing, and has such a unique vibe! Chairs, booths and tables are wiped down clean and glossy I can see my own face. As for the service, it comes quick! Like seriously, from my past experiences it comes in like 5 minutes MAX, usually less, no exaggeration. One time, I ordered 4 different snacks and drinks it came under 10! HELLO? Tell me Im not crazy, service like that is outstanding in this economy. The staff are also SOOOOO so sweet and friendly. They are professional, get the job done, and are always on the go! Oh, and make sure to make a T4 account to earn points and rewards! Like free drinks, toppings, etc. Definitely worth it! The price is also good, it's reasonable and surprisingly cheap compared to other places. So, if you're looking for a daily boba spot that u can rely on making the BEST drinks ever, even though the amount of options will make you go insane.. and the LUSCIOUS, WORTHY, ENJOYABLE food that will make you come back for more..COME TO T4!! And you can count on me I literally just went today and honestly I go almost every other day so..COME RIGHT NOW.

This place is always crowded with a bunch of kids, especially towards the evening. Never a silent moment here, and no, thats not bad thing, but those who are seeking calm environment. This place is not for you. I appreciate the always scorching food, never had to experience lukewarm or cold food here. The tea is good as usual too, lots of variety of drinks to choose from. There's something for everyone in that drink menu. My only gripe is that the cup sizes have changed. They are smaller, way smaller in comparison to 5 years ago. Prior to Covid. And the drinks are now more expensive too. Another shop affected by shrinkflation.

As soon as i finished my order. It started getting very busy. It went from quiet waiting for my food to full on packed restaurant. It was got noisy in a matter of 10 minutes. She handled it well so Kudos to her, she was the only server at the time. Food was quickly handed to me, so it wasn't too much of a wait time. Got home and everything was well in order. Forgot to take pictures of the beverages. The curly fries were really solid. Popcorn chicken was probably my least favorite one, it's not bad, but the seasoning tasted very ginger like. I have to say the best thing was the crepe. It was so delicious, very fresh, the strawberry and bananas were very flavorful. They have other flavors that I will for sure stop by again to try them.

They brought out a pitcher of water to help yourself to refill with water which is always great in my opinion. The order I got was the mixed fruit crepe, which is roughly 8 layers thick, with Nutella filling. The fruits on it starting at the tip is apples, strawberries, kiwis, and finally bananas. I liked the design and taste of the crepe a lot. I do recommend to switch out the Nutella for a lighter filing such as vanilla cream or cream cheese to complement the fruits, but the Nutella was still just as good. Overall, I highly recommend this place, and will revisit again to try out their soups/ramen/rice dishes most definitely.

There is ample space inside of the facility with plenty of seating, alongside a claw machine and a shelf with board games. The menu was a little overwhelming (the default drink is that they let you pick multiple flavors and I didn't want to risk messing up my own order), so I went with one of their specialty drinks, the Caramel Camel. I set the sugar level to light, yet it reached a level of sweetness that was so intense that I had to get it redone. Even with an ever lighter level of sweetness, it still tasted excessively sweet. Overall, an interesting experience. If this is the best that Merced has to offer, I feel kind of bad for everyone in Merced for not having access to better drinks. Not sure if I'd get the chance to return as I don't normally go to Merced, but on the off-chance I end up in this area again I'd hope that maybe one of their other drinks was better.
