“I recently had the tri-tip sandwich at Jenny Nicole’s Old School House Bakery, and I’ll say this loud and clear: this one hits on every level. It starts with the freshly baked sourdough bun—soft, slightly tangy, and sturdy enough to hold everything together without stealing the show. That alone sets the tone. Then comes the tri-tip, and wow… exceptionally tender, juicy, and cooked with obvious respect for the meat. You don’t need to fight it—every bite pulls clean and melts the way great tri-tip should. The sauce is dialed in perfectly—balanced, flavorful, and complementary, not overpowering. Add the au jus, and you’ve got that next-level richness that takes the sandwich from great to unforgettable. Dip it or drizzle it—either way, it’s a win. On top of the food, the customer service was welcoming, genuine, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell pride and passion go into what they’re serving. Coming from a Comeback BBQ 5x Champion Pit Master, I don’t throw praise around lightly—but this sandwich earns it. This is a 10 all day, no hesitation. ✅ Champ Stamp of Approval 🏆“

“Came through the Drive Thru and the Barista was super sweet and surprisingly for ordering through a Drive thru it was fast service !! I wasn’t waiting long like I normally do at other locations they were quick to the point and made sure everything was perfect ! Thank you so much for the lovely costumer service!“

“I visited this Starbucks on my way from leaving Merced. Just dropped my niece off at UC Merced for her last year and hit up this Starbucks. I had my favorite, which was made to perfection. There was no line at the drive thru, so I was in and out. Used the Mobil app so ordering was a breeze.“

“Great staff! They were short today and the staff working was working their butts off! It was awesome to see great work ethic. They remained calm and smiled through it. The place was packed! Great job!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I love Starbucks, but I notice at this location they do not call your name out when your drink is ready and it just sits there on the counter. second time this is happened to me. It’s like which one do you choose from when there’s like five or 10 out there you gotta go through everyone to find your name. Just annoying. I prefer to go to Starbucks on R street or on Childs Avenue they have their act together and they know me“
