I called in an order today at 4:30ish. My daughter went to pick it up for me, it was wrong. I called the store and Michael answered, he was very nice and took care of my order. The last time I was there Janicia was so nice as well. I go to starbucks alot, this is the one is my favorite. Keep up the good work. Thank you Maria

Sale

They had a friends and family sale going on. 30% off coffee and cups/mugs if you purchase a drink. This was a great deal on the coffee so we bought a bag. The staff were nice and friendly and very helpful as we took our time choosing the right coffee. It was helpful that no one else was in line. The bathrooms now need a code, which you get at checkout. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this location.

The Drink

Plastic light blue Spec the drink was so good until i felt plastic. Inspect your drink before you drink.

Well-stocked location, with plenty of competent and friendly staff.

Nice spacious Starbucks - perfect for a break on the way to Yosemite National Park or on the way back to the Bay Area. Located in Merced, close to where CA 140 intersects with Route 99. They have a drive through, were well stocked, and had plenty of competent and friendly staff. We cobbled together a table for our party of seven and they didn't mind. Bathrooms were clean, and orders were filled quickly and correctly. Can't ask for much more from a Starbucks - we will certainly be back next time we go to Yosemite this way.

I ordered at this Starbucks earlier today and got a strawberries and creme Frappuccino and I didn't realize until I got home that the drink looked very odd. I always order this drink so I know it wasn't supposed to look the way it did. The drink looked kinda chunky and the bottom was watery instead of having the strawberry stuff the put in the drink, but I just mixed it thinking that would but it didn't want to mix. I let it sit for a bit and when I looked at the drink a bit later, all the dairy product rose up to the top and bottom was watery af. I tried calling the store to let them know that they might be using bad milk but they never answered.

This is seriously the slowest Starbucks in town. And it's right off the freeway, you would think they would be on it.

I'm visiting in town and someone local recommended this location sharing that it's the BEST COFFEE SPOT in Merced and I now that I've visited, I AGREE! I love visiting local, family owned mom and pop shops on my "adventures" near and far and I use Yelp and Google review to help me when I'm out and about on my journey beyond my local community. Hola Cafecito has the BEST AVOCADO TOAST I've ever had, and I try them at little breakfast coffee houses everywhere I go! I added feta and bacon to my order, but it would have been delicious even without those addons. They have a homemade chili based oil that they drizzle on top of it that is absolutely amazing. I could not decide between any of the drinks b because I wanted to try five of them...so Greg helped me narrow my selection down. I ordered the Cafe Con Leche with the vanilla cream and it was perfect... It was so good.I think I want to take an Iced Dirty Horchata to go! I highly recommend this special little spot on Main Street, anytime you are in the Merced area. I personally think they should open up a second location near UC MERCED because we all know college students need an extra dose of caffeine on those late nights and early mornings. Shout out to the WHOLE CREW working this morning for their intentional hospitality and for taking care of this business as though it was "their own"...Baristas Greg and Lurray, Bobby taking care of the front of the house and supporting at the barista station too... plus YOU CANNOT FORGET Yanet, the kitchen manager and the INCREDIBLE CHEF LETTY for making the best avocado toast in the universe!

Service was really quick. The actual location is packed the day that we went. There was a bunch of people here there's plenty of seating for everyone. There's also a cute photo opportunity kind of towards the back that has this really cute sign. The workers were friendly and were really quick surprisingly. They also offer food here which I don't think I saw when I first looked it up. A few people had Chilaquiles and they looked really good. Definitely recommend their coffee, but would love to try their food if I'm ever in the area again.

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.

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!

When I came here over the weekend, the first thing I noticed was how the store was set up to take…read moreorders at the door like it's still 2020. Other than that, the bagels were made fairly quick, and you can dine on their outdoor patio. * New York Lox Special - 3/5 stars. I'll be frank, I took a bite and another bite but it didn't AMAZE me. It's your average lox bagel with tomato, capers, and red onions. The wait was about 10-15 minutes but there was a small line shortly after I ordered. Overall, I wouldn't come back if I were craving a lox bagel to this place because the total for 1 lox bagel came out to be $15 with tip, but it was convenient as this store is located near the highway.

Since she has graduated, I won't be in town anytime soon, but I highly recommend them for some good Thai and Laotian bites if you're ever in Merced! They have a selection of delicious dishes and I have loved everything that I've tried. My go-to orders are the Papaya Salad and Khao Poon. The papaya salad is a must and the spice level was the perfect amount. The Khao Poon is a coconut curry based noodle soup that is so flavorful. I've also come to really enjoy the Nam Khao (Laotian crispy rice salad), each bite is crunchy and absolutely delish. Your Asian comfort food cravings will definitely be satisfied here.

Located off on the corner of 16th Street and G (same plaza as Little Caesars), the Papaya Lady is actually tucked away inside a carniceria. The aisles of the market nearly block the counter to this little kitchen. It's the neon sign of "The Papaya Lady" buzzing that guides you to the back. We came in the late afternoon on a Saturday and they were already out of the fried chicken and sticky rice (next time!). We ended up ordering: Papaya Salad (extra spicy) - The little peppers in this gave the dish a nice kick. Super refreshing on a hot day. Nam Khao (crispy rice lettuce wrap with pork skin) - I highly enjoyed this one with all the crunchy textures and flavors. Will 100% get again. Khao Poon (noodle soup) - This broth had a subtle peanut flavor which was delicious. Wished it had more toppings. Nam Vanh (tapioca drink) - My drink seemed to lack the other jellies that I saw in other pictures and only had the lil tapioca balls, sweetener and coconut milk. It felt like it was missing something for sure. The owner is so nice and friendly. I don't know if it's a psychological thing, but every time he acknowledged or spoke to me, he used my name. It just felt automatically more warm and welcoming lol The price per portion is also legit. You get so much for what you pay. Our order kept me and the SO fed for almost 3 days. So nice to have some good Asian food in the Central Valley. Will definitely be back!
