T Bagel Cafe — Restaurant in Stockton

Looked for a place to stop by for lunch while on jury duty since I’ve never really eaten downtown before. This neat little place was only like a 3 minute walk from the courthouse.

Vietnamese Sandwich (Banh Mi): Definitely worth a try if you’ve never had banh mi. The bread was nice and crunchy on the outside but still super soft and fluffy on the inside and easy to chew. I had the chicken and pork chop to try both. Pork chop was pretty good, tender, a bit chewy, decent vietnamese marinaded pork flavor. There was no daikon which is disappointing for me. I also did not like the thickness of the cucumber, a bit overpowering. The mayo they used tastes like regular hellman’s or something. Otherwise decent quality and fresh tasting for about $7 each plus tax. I did not really care for the chicken because it didn’t have a lot of flavor. The amount of meat ratio and quality for the price for both is so-so, especially compared to bigger names like Huong Lan but I know this isn’t their focus. I would come again though because it’s so convenient at the courthouse. Even at these prices a banh mi is so worth it and filling for a lunch.

Thai Iced Tea: CRAZY sweet. Probably the sweetest I’ve ever tasted. I would ask for half sugar, if possible, for a normal sane person. Other than that, crazy good value at $3.50.

Everything Bagel: This was really lackluster and a bit tough for me, but I’m aware I’m getting a bagel at noon, meaning it may have been sitting there since the early morning. It had a flavor like it absorbed the aromas of the shop from sitting out a while. I also had it plain to taste it for a good grasp of the quality...

My coworkers have been coming here for a long time and were always trying to get me to come. Finally, I succumbed. I wish I had done it sooner. I didn't know a sandwich from a small shop could taste so good and fresh. Maybe it tasted so good because my expectations were so low. Lol. I don't know. Either way, I'm coming back to try other things. They have so many selections. I may try their fruit smoothies next. It really helps that the shop owners are so friendly. I like supporting small, friendly businesses. The only thing is their hours are limited to my work hours. So I wouldn't be able to come on a weekend. And to the people who have never tried their food and who complain that they didn't know the shop's hours, JUST GOOGLE IT. GOOGLE HAS EVERYTHING. Your bad reviews should be removed because how is your lack of knowledge relevant to the services these people provide? How is that fair? Are you reviewing your own lack of ability to seek...

The entire place smelt like egg wash eggy raw chicken. I almost walked back out but I was coming from a long drive. I got a bagel sandwich and they didn’t salt anything so it had no flavor, but aside from that I asked if I could refill my 12oz coffee thermos, they said yes and when I waited for them to give me a price they acted like they weren’t gonna charge me for it bc it’s not specialty coffee, it’s just the kind already made and put into their thermos, and they charged me $3 for it. I thought they’d charge me a buck for a small refill. The last bagel shop I went to gave it to me...
