    Fancy fig (sans crumbled cheese and pesto)
    Yiuing P.

    Friendly and patient phone call- explained all the ingredients to avoid allergens. Fancy fig pizza - 5/5 Pesto, cheese, dried figs, feta? Cheese, arugula, crumbled bacon. Nice, sweet and savory balance. Crust is not fresh but premade, but soft and good for a coffee shop. $15 Stocktonian burger- bacon 3 thin strips, burger, cheese, jalapeños (not grilled as menu says but pickled- although grilled would have made this burger outstanding), pickles. Comes with seasoned fries not house made, but tasty. 5/5 $15 Chicken ranch- grilled chicken, tomatoes, fresh red onion, cucumbers with ranch 4/5.

    Oh my, I guess you could say my latte was WELL done!

    What can I say? Rustic, charming, and inviting! Located within the downtown Stockton area, The Well was a comforting stop for a coffee on my road trip up to the Pacific Northwest from Southern California! I particularly LOVED how the interior was designed to look old school and retained that older Spanish style charm! They have plenty of seating, a rentable venue, and a co-working space you can rent out for the day which was neat. The baristas were solid folks and I greatly appreciated how they kindly brought out the drinks to our table. You've gotta have even the slightest bit of admiration for awesome service after a tiring day. My latte was made just perfectly. Great quality coffee with some sweet latte art to add on! The Well is one cool spot if you ever find yourself craving a nice and warm cup of coffee while in Stockton. I'll definitely be back!

    The Well is Soooooo cute! It has been so cold lately, I walked in and it was nice and toasty. The inside was way bigger than I expected. I was greeted when I walked in, which was nice it's usually pretty busy in coffee shops but the welcome was not lost here. So many options on the menu, I order a hot a latte and it was delicious, I also got a blueberry shortbread bar, not overly sweet and solid just how I like it. I will be back to try something else

    Very cute and aesthetic coffee place. Prices are good. Food and drinks are food. Staff is friendly. Lots of space and tables. Parking is good too. Will definitely come back to this place.

    As always I hesitate to give 5 stars up front, but I will easily give 5 stars here. The environment, the customer service, the quickness of getting my food and drinks, I loved it here. I'm born and raised in Stockton, and finding this hidden gem was surprising, but glad I found it. I had a strawberry lemonade, my wife had a lavender lemonade...for lunch o had the grilled cheese with bacon, perfectly cooked and tasted great...my wife had the Spini-Apple-Salad. The presentation, the quickness of the food, everything was on point. Highly recommend and I know I'll be back

    I didn't know this spot existed until I was invited for a meet up. It's located off of Center Street and you may miss it if you don't pay attention. It's a big white building with a gated entrance for parking. You enter through the back from the parking lot. They offer scones, pastries, cookies, breakfast and lunch items. I ordered a large caramel macchiato with almond milk. It was a bit soft, meaning I couldn't taste the espresso. It wasn't anything special. The cookie was ok. Prefer it warm. It's pretty big inside. It reminds me of like an old mission that was converted to a sitting space with a coffee shop. There's a lot of seating areas with tabkes and a lounge area with a sofa for meeting up, doing work or just hanging out. I also noticed there's a room you can rent for a meeting space too. This is a good place to come if you want to meet up centrally in Stockton.

    The coffee was decent, a little on the sweeter side. I ordered a white mocha and, to me, it didn't really taste like white mocha? It was almost fruity...still good, just not what I was expecting. My bf described the caramel macchiato as very sweet too. The brownie was sooo good. We also ordered the SB melt (not pictured), which was quite good as well. The only change I would make next time is getting it without the lemon pepper, it overpowered the melt imo. This seems like a spot for local college students, Stockton was a pit stop for us for some breakfast. The food looked pretty good! Coffee was fine. The staff were friendly and the restaurant itself was huge with lots of seating space. Cute decor. I could see what people were saying about the ambiance, very chill.

    Met a friend for coffee on a Saturday morning. When we got there the line was out of the door so we sat outside and waited for things to calm down before placing our order. We ended up with coffee and chai. The service was good, the pricing is average and the restaurant itself has a positive vibe. We did not get to try any food. Will definitely visit for food soon and update the review. Also plenty of parking is a plus.

    Protein bowl

    First off, Walter is the GOAT! He met me with an attentive and warm greeting. I am new to the area and I have been here 3x but I am still getting used to the menu. However, today I wanted to create something of my own and decided to ask if I can "do this or do that" not only was he knowledgeable he was encouraging of my order! I enjoyed the flexibility also the staff is friendly and the establishment is always clean. Definitely a great place to go! Walter said the weekend brunch is awesome-make sure y'all go and check this place out! My food was wonderful and so was my iced tea-no caffeine and no sugar! I will definitely come back weekly! Order- Protein bowl & Lemon ginger tea Check receipt photo for exact order

    great space love the vibe of the place!! food is amazing chicken pesto sandwich and their burgers are so so good!! they have yummy coffee and i especially love their redbull italian sodas ^_^

    This is such a nice spot! It's huge inside, lots of table space, chairs, plugs available to charge your computer/electronics, a long area, and rooms you can reserve for meetings (I'm not sure on the fee for it). I ordered an iced matcha latte and the B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg, Cream cheese) Sandwich. It was all yummy, service was great. The vibe of the place is really nice and it's clean. I definitely will go back and if I was a student I would definitely study here.

    White Iced mocha + Mamas Sugar Toast

    The staff are friendly! Ambiance is lively, filled with people and others who come to study. It does get busy though but I don't mind it! The white mocha is good, probs my favorite drink so far.

    We had a Galantines event there for my Junior League of San Joaquin County women's group!!We brought our own food in, but the venue has rooms that hold up to 50 or so people. We had this event in the main coffee shop area after closing. We were able to decorate the tables to our liking for our event. So thankful our group had this nice place to have our event/fundraiser at.

    This is for the Morning Buzz blend whole beans only…read more I ran across the Airborne Roasting stand at the Hayward farmers market, and asked about light roast beans. I was told they only have medium and dark, but the medium tastes pretty light. I asked if the beans were washed or natural, and she couldn't tell me, and wasn't even sure what that was. I should have taken that as a warning that these beans were not the same level as Devout Coffee roasters beans, which is what I usually get. However, since Airborne was cheaper than the beans I usually get from Devout Coffee, I went ahead and bought a pound of Morning Buzz. This morning, I brewed a comparison between the Airborne Roasting Morning Buzz, and my last remaining light roast beans from Devout Coffee, which at that point was several months old, whereas the Airborne beans where freshly roasted. Well, even so, the Devout light roast beans were far superior in taste than the Airborne beans. The Airborne tasted too burnt, and lacked those subtle flavors that make coffee so enjoyable. It was just a one-note band with loud speakers. My recommendation is, if you like a light roast, and sophisticated flavors in your coffee, get something else. I understand a lot of people do enjoy the burnt flavor (Starbucks, anyone?), but I wish they wouldn't have told me the medium roast tasted like a light roast: it doesn't. Note: in the end, with lots of sugar, lots of milk, and some heavy whipping cream, I was able to have a nice cup of coffee-flavored sweetness.

Long story short, our plans changed and found Airborne Roasting on Yelp. We connected with Roland (owner), which turned out to be one happy detour to our new go-to coffee roastery. Jet Fuel' roast has a bold and intense profile that will keep black coffee lovers like my husband coming back for more. On the other hand, 'Morning Buzz' and 'Barnstormer' are for coffee fans looking for more caffeine or milder and sweeter flavors. The best part is we are so very happy to be supporting a family-owned, local business that provides wonderful products and excellent customer service. Also, if you reside in Union City coffee delivery is free!

I was hesitant because of the small menu, but let that fool you because the coffee they use is really REALLY GOOD! We ordered an iced vanilla latte and an iced white mocha. I usually stay away from drinks with dairy (lactose intolerant, LOL) but my daughter ordered my drink and gave me the: "just try it" look. And boy was she right! The coffee they use cuts through but the white chocolate created a smooth creamy aftertaste. Soooo good!
