Scott's Diner in Merced is always a win, and today was no exception. We were on our way to a hike…read morein Mariposa and wanted a Mexican breakfast that would actually power us through the trail--Scott's delivered in every way. We asked if they could do a special order: a burrito deconstructed, with over-easy eggs and the tortillas on the side. They were totally accommodating, and it was exactly what I was craving--fresh, filling, and seriously delicious. I went for the blueberry pancakes, and wow: they were enormous, fluffy, packed with real blueberries, and basically the perfect pre-hike fuel. And the coffee? Amazing, as always. I meant to take a picture of my food, but honestly I accidentally didn't--because everything looked so good that I dug in immediately. And even without the photo evidence, the presentation and plating were incredible, just like they always are. This place has my heart. I'd give it a hundred stars if I could--highly, highly recommend.

She got us seated quickly and kept our drinks filled with ninja-like speed throughout our visit. I believe the young man who took our order was Tommy, (senior moments) and he did a great job. My buddy ordered the Chili Verde Plate, and wow--it looked so good I almost wished I had ordered it myself! Instead, I went with the Ribeye Plate cooked well done, and I have to say, the cook absolutely nailed it. What impressed us even more was how fast the food came out--about 5 to 10 minutes after ordering. Vanessa, Tommy, and the rest of the staff checked on us regularly and made sure everything was perfect. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience was on point. Thank you all for the great food and amazing customer service. Keep up the great work! This place has always been a 5 stars..!

Was looking for a sit down breakfast spot on my way over to Mono Hot Springs Resort for the…read moreMemorial Day Weekend & so glad I found this gem of a cafe. Place had a fun farm theme, from the exterior red barn style architecture, to the barn doors between the dining area and booths, and the all American decor. It was very packed for a Friday morning but we were able to get seated within a few minutes and our server had great hospitality. And when I say... the portions here are GENEROUS - believe me! I couldn't believe how much food you get for your order, and the best part is, every bite hit. I decided to veer out of what I typically get for breakfast and did a lil sweet and savory moment and got the stuffed French toast with a sweet cream cheese filling and strawberry topping, and it came with 2 eggs of your choice, potato of choice, and either bacon or sausage. Bacon had the perfect amount of crisp, I asked for my hash browns extra crispy and they hit it on the nose. My partner got a bacon cheese burger. Bun was toasted, patty was flavorful, bacon was bussin, and he said they don't seem to skimp out at all on the fries! Price was very very reasonable for the portions, about $45 for this- my partner is from the Bay Area and so he's used to this quality of food and portions to be $$$$$$ and he even said this was such a deal! Family friendly place for sure, employees are super attentive, and left satisfied with the meal and service. If you're in town, or even passing through, this is the place to check out for breakfast.

Stopped here on our way to visit a loved one and tried a variety of items. We ordered chilaquiles,…read moretwo kids meals (mac and cheese, and a corn dog with fries), and pigs in a blanket breakfast. The chilaquiles weren't spicy more like chips with salsa and ended up being pretty bland with light salsa. However, the country potatoes were really good and definitely a highlight. The pigs in a blanket were also tasty, and the hashbrowns were perfectly browned. The kids enjoyed their meals, although the corn dog was a little overcooked on the outside and slightly undercooked on the inside. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and kind throughout our visit. The only other downside was the coffee, which tasted a bit watered down or just not very strong. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back to try different items.

I have returned to this particular restaurant a few times thinking the decreased food quality was a one off. Nope. I ordered a BLT today. With sourdough.

I'll move on to somewhere else for lunch now.

Bee's Bakery Cafe is hands down one of the best breakfast spots around! I ordered the Sweet Heat…read moreBreakfast Burrito, and it was absolutely incredible. It was packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and had just the right amount of kick. The homemade salsa paired perfectly with it and took the flavor to another level. I also tried the steak, eggs, biscuit, and potatoes, and everything was cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and flavorful, the eggs were spot on, the biscuit was fresh and buttery, and the potatoes were crispy and delicious. The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming, and the atmosphere made you feel right at home. It's clear they take pride in serving high-quality food and providing excellent customer service. If you're looking for an outstanding breakfast with generous portions and amazing flavor, Bee's Bakery Cafe is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

I don't usually post things like this, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more I've been a regular customer at this coffee shop for months. I used to go almost every day, I've supported them consistently, bought drinks and beans there regularly, and it was part of my daily routine during a really difficult time in my life. My usual drink isn't available on their online ordering system, so I've always called ahead to place my order. That has never been an issue before. They knew my order so well that they referred to it as "the Amy Special," and there were times my drink was prepared ahead of time for me to pick up when I arrived. Today I called to place my usual order. I was told the person on the phone was the owner, and I was told they had been discussing my drink and that it was "very unusual," and that I would need to come in to order instead. I asked for clarification because I've always ordered the same way for months. I was told again that I would need to come in, and that my drink was too complicated to order over the phone. I explained that I've been ordering this drink the same way for a long time and that I've always been able to call it in before. After I said I was going through a hard time and wasn't really up for coming in, the call ended. When I called back, the phone was hung up on multiple times before I was able to briefly speak with someone again. When I did finally speak with someone I recognized, my reaction was emotional because I was confused and hurt by what was happening, and the interaction didn't feel like the experience I had come to expect from them. What I'm upset about is not that a business can change how they operate. What I'm upset about is that there was no clear communication that a policy had changed, and no explanation that made sense of why something that had been routine for months was suddenly not allowed. I'm sharing this because I genuinely thought I had a good relationship with this place as a customer, and today's experience didn't reflect that. This was a place I supported daily for a long time, and it became part of my routine during a period of my life when it genuinely mattered more than people probably realize. That's why today's experience felt so disappointing and hard to process.

We were greeted promptly and seated. Their menu is a great selection of sandwiches, salads, burgers. My husband had the Salmon salad 2.0, I had a grilled vegie sandwich on focaccia bread. Got the food fast. We were shocked at the size of the salad! It was plated beautifully! My sandwich was delicious. Only tiny complaint.. I wish there were more vegies on it. The fries were crazy good and crispy! Crinkle cut.! There are other options for your sides. I got a piece of pumpkin roll to go. Had to take a bite as we were leaving.. it was divine!!! I can't wait to stop again. The ladies were so attentive and fast. Please stop by if you're in Merced.

Perfect family friendly breakfast spot…read more We got the chilaquiles and chicken fried steak. Both were really good!
