Visited Stockton for the first time in a while and tried to go to my favorite coffee shop, which…read morewas now permanently closed. This ended up in my favor, as I checked Yelp and saw a new coffee shop was opened right in my old neighborhood. It has great ratings, and I decided to stop in. The owner was working and he was super friendly. He explained the style of coffee with a specialty filtering process and a bit about the menu. He recommended a medium blend, and whipped me up a delightful coffee. I had never experienced this special filtering method but the coffee was smooth and well balanced. It was delightful. If I still lived nearby this place would be a regular stop. Clean, modern interior with nice bright windows, friendly staff, and excellent coffee. Definitely stop in and show this local business some love. The owner is really polite and has great products.

I love empresso for studying! The drinks and food are…read moregreat. My go to is the caramella with soy milk or a dirty chai with soy chai. I'm newer into drinking coffee but I constantly crave those two drinks. I also enjoy their sandwiches & paninis as well. The service is always great and so are the suggestions from the workers. It does get a little busier with all the foot traffic so if you want a quieter space to study I would recommend going in the mornings.

Empresso Coffe is a great place to meet people, hang around for a solo date, or spend time with…read moregreat coffee , great food options and pastries. Food: The food is awesome, they have paninis and breakfast sandwiches options. Coffee/Drinks: I have tried almost all of their coffee menu options and none of them have disappointed. Our favorite go-to drink is the Hot chocolate. They serve it in a ceramic mug when you ask for it, and it has a delicious, eye appealing appearance. Ambiance: since it is close to SJDC campus and UOP there often many students doing they school work, and group projects. Quite fun to spend time with people going after their careers and dreams. It can get loud at times, so if you don't mind the noise this is a great place to come and enjoy this place. Baristas/ staff: they are always nice and they go the extra mile to memorize your face and possibly your name. Weekends/ Late afternoons: there is a patio at the front of the coffee shop which has plenty of spa ce to have a seat and enjoy artist who are practicing and sharing their music and art talents. They arrive beer and the smell of smoke can get a little ov

Montea is my 2nd favorite spot in Stockton! I've been looking for a new drink/boba spot in Stockton…read moreand i'm so glad that my brother-in-law introduced me to Montea! If you love plants and aesthetically pleasing vibes then this store is for you! The owner was really sweet, friendly, and nice. She was also accomodating as well. Because I was visiting family in Stockton this store reminded me of SoCal and how SoCal has plant lovers too!! Mango Sago: I love sago so much that sago must be a hit because the store was out of it! Because sago was sold out I got boba instead and the drink was amazing!!! It also had cheese foam in it as well but I will ask for no cheese foam or maybe a different flavor foam bc I wasn't really feeling it. Little pancakes with chocolate filling and creme brulee as a dip: A M A Z I N G! CHEF'S KISSES! Will come back here again in July 2026 !!

Wow! Wow! From the moment we walked in...we felt so welcomed. The cashier greeted us with a big…read moresmile and helped us pick out our drinks which were delicious and so pretty. Yes, the drinks were pretty. My friend and I sat close to the counter and each one was hand crafted with care. The decor was so relaxing as if nature had been brought inside. Loved the ambiance! The biggest highlight was when one of the owners came out to greet us and thank us for our business. I felt so at home. She took the time to share how her business was named and some challenges that happened along the way. I watched as regulars came in to order including a police officer who they knew by name. Love the community that I witnessed in this small boba shop with such a big heart.

Everything feels pretty expensive. 2 drinks for $20. Woah!! Starbucks and Dutch are cheaper.... * Service could definitely be friendlier. If you ask staff a question, they are short or not knowledgeable of menu items. Smile a bit! Say hello.... * Ventilation seems lacking, which could be uncomfortable during really hot or cold days * Drink quality is not what it used to be. Needs improvement....

The ambiance is lovely here, tons of seating and great place to work! Which is what people do at…read morecafes (I don't understand the reviews complaining about the seating being full of people reading or hanging out). However, the quality of the food and drinks is NOT worth the price. The baristas couldn't tell us much anything about the beans they were using and the store relies mostly on cold foams and Torani syrups for flavors, which is totally fine! There's a market for that- just don't expect specialty coffee here. I wouldn't recommend ANY food besides maybe pastries. Extremely dry and zero flavor. I'm sorry this is so mean but the avocado toast is actually pitiful. You will pay $15+ for a BARELY seasoned avocado, powdered egg (?), tiny thin slice of bread, with two brown strips of bacon on it that you could make better at home (i'm so sorry but it is true). Similar with the breakfast sandwiches. Payed $50 for 2 drinks and 2 breakfast items that were essentially dutch bros quality. TLDR: Worth it if you want to hang out for the lovely seating and ambiance, just be aware that that is what you are paying for- not necessarily the quality of what your will be eating/drinking. Very yummy drinks! Just they just lean sweet. Do not buy food aside from pastries lol.

Finally decided to try their Classic Black Milk Tea today. First sip of this hit me with that…read morefridge taste :( I can kind of taste the black tea after the fridge taste or something but not sure I could taste any molasses or cocoa notes. And here I thought you could never go wrong with a classic black milk tea. I usually get their Gyokuro Honey Green Tea--perfectly yummy, definitely my go-to. Also had the Brown Sugar Milk Tea: I'm all for a sweet drink but even this one was too sweet for me. The brown sugar syrupy sweetness makes this drink a little thicker than the regular milk teas.

I stopped by Rose Tea Lounge and tried their pop-up friend shop inside the store (Rang). I asked…read morefor the Pandan Matcha without coconut flakes, but they accidentally placed in coconut flakes. It was no big deal. The Pandan added a sweet fragrant note that went well with the matcha, and it made it flavorful and easy to drink. There was also a solid caffeine kick, which gave me the energy I needed for the rest of the day. Service was on the slower side on a weekend, but I would love to still come back to try their other unique drinks.

We've been here twice now and have mixed feelings…read more Our first visit, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Sundae, fruit tea, and popcorn chicken. The Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was delicious and definitely the highlight. It was our first time trying it, but it was pretty pricey for the portion size. The fruit tea was just okay and didn't really stand out. The popcorn chicken was a bit too salty and had more batter than meat. We came back to try the Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie and the ube soft serve. Unfortunately, the smoothie was a letdown--it was too heavy on the coconut milk and didn't have much mango flavor. The ube soft serve was also much smaller than expected for the price and was on the sweeter side. The service was friendly, and the ambiance inside was nice enough. The surrounding plaza wasn't our favorite, but the boba shop itself was pleasant. Overall, expect Bay Area pricing. While some items didn't live up to the cost, the Mango Sticky Rice Sundae was unique and tasty enough that we'd probably order it again if we're ever in the area.
