I've been living in Modesto for about six years and have always passed by this place, telling…read moremyself I needed to check it out. My friend and I go on morning walks three times a week, and I finally said, "Let's try it and see what they have." As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by two gentlemen who were incredibly kind and welcoming. We headed toward the café area and it smelled amazing. I ordered an almond iced coffee, and my friend got a salted coffee (can't remember the exact name), but we drank them down so fast because they were that good. The balance was perfect--you can actually taste the coffee, not just sugar or milk like at other places I've tried. You can tell they really take pride in their shop and their craft. I'll definitely be coming back. It's been hard to find truly good coffee around here, and I'm happy to say I've finally found my spot

I really wanted to like Caffettino Coffee Roasters because the coffee itself was actually good, but…read morethe customer service completely threw me off. I had a simple custom request and the barista's reaction honestly made me feel uncomfortable for even asking. The facial expressions and attitude felt very dismissive instead of helpful or welcoming. I totally understand not every order is standard, but as a customer you shouldn't feel awkward ordering a drink. What made it stand out even more is that I had gone to Pure Grind Coffee & Juice Bar the day before, and their barista actually asked around and tried to help make my drink the way I wanted it. That kind of effort and kindness goes a long way. I'm big on supporting local businesses, so this review isn't about being dramatic just honest. Good coffee can bring people in once, but good service is what makes people come back. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

However, as someone who doesn't like the taste of just any coffee, I will always get a cold brew from here. I come here fairly often and always have the best experience.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming--perfect for meeting up with friends or just taking a little breather in your day. And their drink menu is so fun and creative! My absolute favorite is the Teddy Graham latte--sweetened with honey and topped with the cutest little teddy bear graham snacks. It's almost too adorable to drink... almost! It's become my go-to "shareable" treat because everyone smiles when it arrives. I love having a place like this right in our community. It brings such a great energy to downtown and makes it feel alive and connected. Grab a drink, bring a friend, and take a stroll through downtown while you're at it.

The shop is really cute inside with a welcoming vibe, and the staff were super friendly. They have a great selection of coffee drinks (hot and iced) and some really good-looking pastries. I ordered the Iced Cinnamon Toast coffee, and my wife got the Sugar-Free Iced Cinnamon Toast iced coffee. Both were excellent. A cool touch was that they actually sprinkle Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on top. We also grabbed a cookie that ended up being a great surprise. I took it home and had it the next morning. After microwaving it for about 15 seconds, a marshmallow in the center puffed up -- I didn't even know it was in there. Really cool. The coffee is a little pricey compared to a similar cup of coffee elsewhere, and they close at 3 PM, but overall it was a great visit. If you're in downtown Ceres and looking for a good coffee shop with creative drinks and friendly staff, The Drip is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try another drink.

Way back in the day they used to give me the empty metal coffee bean cans which I would take to my classroom for demonstrations (we used atmospheric pressure to crush them much to the delight of my middle schoolers.

I want to say they almost got it just like my small hometown tortas in Mexico . The pepper jack cheese and mayo tossed it off track . Get rid of the melted cheese and use crema Mexicana and it will be more up my alley. With that said it's still super yummy . It was served with a side of white sauce . I still don't know what it was . It tasted like mayo mixed with something else . 4 for the torta! I also went with a shaken brown sugar espresso it was a tad bit on the bland side but tasted refreshing enough. 3 . Service was decent . Straight to business and I totally prefer it that way . There was a simple greeting and then the order . I did have to clean my table before I sat down and there were other clean tables but I wanted the corner one . 3 min after I sat down the other tables were being wiped down so they are on top of the cleaning ! What I did not like was that it was stuffy inside . Possibly an AC issue .

Probably to afford all the ig-worthy backdrops and neon signs. The coffee chain is also well-known for its giant conchas. I got a peppermint mocha latte in a small (12 oz) and didn't realize it would cost $9 (before tip) as the prices for their specialty coffees are not listed on the menu. Don't think I can justify returning, but I can see how it's a go-to for locals.
