Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. There were quite a few flies, and at times there was an unpleasant odor that resembled strong cheese and animal waste, which took away from the overall dining experience. The food was decent but not particularly memorable. The chicken and waffles looked great, and the fried chicken was very large with a flavorful, crispy batter. However, the chicken itself had an unusual flavor that wasn't my favorite. The waffle seemed as though it had been sitting for a while before being served--it was cold, somewhat squishy, and lacked the fresh texture I was expecting. We also ordered a waffle and bacon for the kids, but the whipped cream that was supposed to accompany it was forgotten. Service was another area that fell short of expectations. Guests are required to walk up and place their own orders, then wait for the food to be brought out. For a restaurant that presents itself as a more upscale dining experience, I was expecting traditional table service. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience, and I'm glad I gave it a try. While there were aspects that didn't meet my expectations, the beautiful outdoor setting made for an enjoyable visit. That said, I probably wouldn't return, but I'm happy I had the opportunity to experience it.

I ordered the country fried steak with hashbrowns crispy, and pancakes on the side. You always gotta try the flapjacks at these kind of spots. Of course the pancakes were excellent. You would expect no less... hashbrowns were crispy as ordered and the CFS was on point. Crunchy outer and tender inner. The gravy could've had a little more bang (seasoning) but the overall experience was great. If you're looking for some good breakfast after sliding at the Great Wolf, this is definitely a good spot. As Ahnold would say, I'll be back!

I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

For the longest time, I couldn't stop ordering the turkey pesto sandwich because it was that good. Once I finally started trying other menu items, I realized it wasn't just one great sandwich. Everything I've had has been delicious. The coffee and tea are exceptional as well. Manteca is so lucky to have a place like Bean & Leaf. This is a place that genuinely nourishes its community, and I think that's something really special.

Given the multitude of licenses at stake in such enterprises, I wish to share my recent experience at this location. This morning, my husband and I visited, and we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of our orders. He ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk, while I ordered an oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso at a temperature of 200 degrees. He also selected a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and I opted for a bacon and cheese croissant. Regrettably, the items did not meet our expectations. The beverages lacked the desired strength; although the temperature was correct, I was informed after placing our order that they were out of oat milk and had to substitute it with almond milk. Given that we had already paid approximately $30, this was quite disappointing. Despite these concerns, we did not request a discount or refund, and we accepted the substitution that was communicated to us approximately 10 to 15 minutes after placing our order. On a positive note, the staff were very courteous, and the establishment was clean. However, I suspect that the items we ordered may not represent the best offerings on their menu. While the service was commendable, there was a notable wait involved. It would have been preferable to have been informed of the oat milk shortage prior to payment, as we might have chosen to leave at that point. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction led us to seek alternative options, and we subsequently drove to Stockton to visit Peet's Coffee, where we consistently find lattes prepared to our liking. While we may not return to this location, I do not wish to portray it negatively. It is clear that the establishment has potential, yet our experience did not align with our expectations.

Everything they have suggested has been good :) I have been on a banana kick right now so their banana cloud matcha has been my go to lately. Their strawberry matcha is also very good. The matcha is not too strong and overpowering and their banana and strawberry flavors are sweet but not too sweet. Their coffees are STRONG and just the pick me up that I need to get through a long day at work. They also offer pastries. They have something called a milk cake which I haven't had before trying the one here. The Oreo cookies and cream milk cake is THE BEST and I highly recommend trying it if they have it available!!! The chocolate beignets are nice and fluffy. They also have a vendor who makes puddings so pick one of those up as well too to support a local small business! The inside of their shop is shared with Habibis intl market (they have great gyro plates!!!!) and there is plenty of seating inside if you and some friends want a cozy place to sit and hang out. There's plenty of parking space out front and out back.

The biscoff cold foam was super good though, I loved the chunks of biscoff on top. I think the biscoff cold foam would go very well with a latte, because the sweetness could balance out the bitter hints of coffee. However, if you have a big sweet tooth, I would recommend this place to you! Just personally didn't fit my tastebuds unfortunately. Service was super super quick though, drink came out in record speed -- almost immediately after we ordered. They have seating inside too!
