UPDATNG this review because I realized I was overly excited when I posted and I had SO MANY typo's…read more If you don't go on a bear hunt looking for this place.. you'll never find it, unless you happen to be randomly driving or walking by -- it's a literal whole in the wall, but very well known by the locals What can I say about this place.. I've definitely been coming here since the beginning (before patio seating and mobile orders) haha thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded (3 locations now -- Visalia, Tulare, Fresno). There's something for everyone on their Menu. I personally believe that they have some of the best matcha's around. BUT... if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener, you probably won't like a real matcha from here -- I say this because some will complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol--all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out.. definitely a favorite here in Visalia! Service and time... always as expected. You are getting hand crafted drinks and food, so don't expect them to rush. ****Rush hour in the am and during lunch hours**** The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products. This was a Huge plus for me, because sometimes I like to ask the employees for their recommendations or personal favorites! They usually end up being pretty darn good Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha my mom loves their avo or seasonal toast/ my dad loves the breakfast burritos! I will always come here for food/homemade pastries, a drink, to work, or to hang out with my loved ones! Thank you Component team for making every visit a good one

Component Coffee Lab sits tucked behind the downtown buildings, the kind of spot you don't stumble…read moreinto by accident. You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

Although they offer pastries, cookies, bagels, and breakfast items, I wasn't hungry, but I was definitely tempted. The cashiers were nice, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. The coffee was really good, but what I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. The shop is in an old building with high ceilings and large windows. There are different seating areas with tables, couches, and large stuffed chairs, and the space is decorated with vintage items. As I sat there, I realized it is called "Mission Coffee" for a reason: everything sold at the café supports the Visalia Rescue Mission. There were signs showing the number of meals and showers they have provided. Along with having a really good coffee shop experience, it felt good knowing that my purchase was supporting a meaningful cause.

An Iced MJ's Butterfinger is also a favorite! RED BULL? I had one with Vanilla + Strawberry & a splash of HALF & HALF.. OR COCONUT MILK omg sooo tasty!

Coffee was okay and pastries were disappointing, because fresh Bread Savage is amazing, but 2-3 day old bagels whether bread savage or not are dry, stale and unappealing. I would recommend the owners to consider changing out the bread based pastries every day for quality or mark them down for being older. The cream cheese danish was fine. 3/5 stars for the old bagel. Coffee was not bad, but nothing special, which is fine. A little bit too sweet Patient service, not rude.

It was at a local church which had the Connect Coffee location at on its grounds. This place was nice inside, menu had tons of coffee choices and energy drinks as well. Service was also good, and the drinks come out fast. Coffee & energy drink were both excellent. Quick tip you have to buy something from the coffee shop to use the bathroom on the grounds.

My first time trying Teaspoon. This location is located on Mooney Blvd in Visalia. Parking is free…read morebut parking is a challenge. It's an awkward parking lot and spaces are pretty tight. There's plenty of parking if you choose to walk a bit; parking available at the former Bed Bath and Beyond lot. The store was pretty clean and organized. Ordering can be achieved two ways, with cashier or self-serve kiosk. We used the kiosk. Ordering was pretty easy and efficient. Here's what we ordered 1. Creme Brulee Coffee $7.75, coffee topped w/ crème brulée foam & dalgona candy crumbles (about 106-145 mg of caffeine). You can substitute your choice of milk base and level of sweetness. I opted for oat milk ($1.00 up charge) and 50% sweetness. Total $8.75. The coffee was good but not outstanding. I would order again if I happen to be near that area but would not go out of my way. 2. Coconut Coffee $7.75, coffee infused w/ coconut cream & topped w/ toasted coconut flakes. (106-145 mg Caffeine). This was ordered with almond milk and 50% sweetness. I really couldn't taste the coconut flavor. It was okay and probably would not order again. Total $8.75 I do like the option of picking the level of sweetness but disappointed in the up charge when substituting the milk base. Customer service was efficient and ambiance is laid back. They have several board games available so this is nice if you come in with a group and just want to chill.
