Trail Coffee Lodi

Just grabbed two cortados here, and they were excellent. The barista pulled a perfect shot, which made it a perfect cortado. The vibe was quiet, bright, and clean. They also have some savory food options that I'll likely try next time. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for quality coffee in a nice atmosphere!

This is such a cute lil coffee shop! The entire vibe of the place just makes you want to sit and enjoy your coffee. Had the matcha latte and it came with latte art that was too pretty drink, but of course, caffeine over everything sooo definitely drank it all!!

It was my first time here today. I am on a mission to try every coffee place in Lodi & review. This place is cute and cozy. The menu gives a minimalist look so it doesn't give a lot of details on what flavors etc may be in the coffee. The person taking my order was a bit condescending when I had some questions. I don't think that was her intention, but it is important to have an inviting or friendly aura and tone when working with people. She seemed overall nice, but it may be a good question to ask, "have you been here before, let me know if you have any question on the menu, is there something you are looking for, etc". I thought I may of just took the vibe wrong, but read in some reviews that others also got this impression. The person who handed me the coffee gave me a sweet smile, so it wasn't their staff entirely. I had the mocha & the coffee was good overall and would order again in hopes the customer service may be a little more friendly the next time.

First time going here and unfortunately probably the last. I'd read the reviews and people had said it was a weird vibe here and I completely agree. The owner or worker was sweeping the floor right in the walkway and didn't say a word to us which was awkward. The worker making our coffee put our coffee down without a word or smile either. The place is really quiet and you can hear yourself breathe lol. Also they used almond milk when my mom ordered nonfat milk:/ and my iced matcha latte was almost undrinkable. Not a good experience:( the only pros being the nice girl at the register, cute shop, and nice patio.

I personally did not have a good experience at this location and I just wanted to address a few issues for anyone considering coming here. First off, I want to acknowledge that the business next door to this location is under construction and has been for some time. I understand this is not their fault. However, you need to understand before you come here that you will be just a few feet from this very loud construction before you visit. As we walked up, I had to stop abruptly when a flurry of sparks flew out in front of me. The neighboring building was using a circular saw to cut metal and the sparks were flying out into the walkway. It was incredibly loud and startling. The patio area is literally just seating to watch construction at this point and that little waterfall in the corner can't be heard or enjoyed over the noise. You can always sit inside right? Hmmm... Had I read the reviews before I came, I would have seen the repeated mentions of "weird vibes" and poor customer service (even in the good reviews) but instead I was able to witness it firsthand. The staff here is not particularly friendly and although there were two other people in the shop you could hear a pin drop...in between the loud construction noises anyway. It definitely has a less than inviting atmosphere. So, plans changed to grab the coffee and go. We have tried the Trail Coffee in Stockton and even got a gift card. Their website clearly states that it is "Available to use at any of our locations" and their Yelp page states in the About the Business section that "Trail Coffee Lodi is Trail's third location and first one outside of Stockton." Why then when we asked the cashier about using our gift card did she say it was for Stockton and after swiping, tell us "It doesn't work here."? Some things are out of your control. Staff can be having a bad day or not be trained correctly, etc. However, poor product on top of it all is really unacceptable. I was honestly happy to pay for my drink and just get the heck out of there but when I sat in the car to finally drive away and tasted my "Honey Lavender" latte, well, that was the final nail in the coffin for me. No honey, no lavender, just truck stop coffee with some half and half splashed in over some ice. I have made myself much better coffee at a hotel continental breakfast. This place was an utter disappointment and even if you are considering giving them a try, I would definitely wait until construction is finished with looks to be around late summer 2024 at this point and I would be very surprised if this place makes it that long at this rate.

I love all other trail coffee locations in Stockton but every time I come here I do not get the same service opposed to the other ones. The inside shop itself is very cute but doesn't have a very welcoming environment plus its so quiet that its a little uncomfortable. When I come here I never sit inside not even to wait for my drink so I do like how they have an outside patio with a nice waterfall. I will say though that the drinks are always made very good here & never had an issue with my drink tasting bad! I just hope the service improves and becomes more welcoming.

Cute coffee shop! Lots of space to sit down and chill with family or friends.I got an iced latte and my sister got a caramel latte. They were both good and I was especially surprised by how perfectly sweetened the caramel latte was!I also got a GF Raspberry Scone and that was also get yummy!The service was quite and they were friendly when we asked them about the items on their menu.

This was my first time in Lodi trying Trail and it was a cute spot! We came late Saturday morning and it was very busy. Once the tables are full, there aren't many places to stand and it felt crowded. We waited at the counter for a few minutes before being served but gave us a chance to decide on our flavors and check out the cute merchandise. I got the 16oz iced honey lavender latte, coffee flavor is good but syrup flavor is light. My boyfriend got a cold brew with vanilla and a splash of half and half and it was strong which he liked. Standard coffee shop prices! Overall I would come back - maybe on a weekday!

Have been a frequent customer of yours and was very unhappy with the service from the gentleman with the large beard. Seems to not like his job very much and is very rude. Rude to most of the people I was with and even to other guests that I observed while there. Most coffee shops in the area are very customer service oriented in the Lodi area, not the staff at Trail. Trail is a short walk from where I live. But because of the very poor customer service will probably not be back.

The staff is generally unfriendly. I have been in here several times and each time they are borderline rude. I have given them several chances because it's pretty good coffee. After today I won't be going back. Too bad, I liked the coffee and decor.
