    I have been here multiple times, and the service is always good. The girls are always ready to…read moreserve and are great listeners. They always get the orders right and when there's a small issue they are ready to solve it right away. The shop is small and has dine-in half booths, and tables outside. The food is always filling and the environment is always kept clean. I will be returning to try more of their menu !

    I have lived in the area my entire life, and although this café has been established for quite some…read moretime, I had never visited until today. While I typically avoid paying premium prices for coffee, I decided to treat myself and finally give this location a try. Upon entering, I was greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and placed an order for three iced coffees, which I stated clearly. When my order was delivered, two of the drinks were iced, while one was served hot. I calmly and politely mentioned that all three were supposed to be iced coffees. At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.

    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.

    Hello!! I like to go around the Oakdale and Modesto area to review restaurants, stores, and coffee…read moreshops. I would like to start by saying AMAZING SERVICE!! The environment is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food and drinks are always warm, fresh, and delicious. Today there were two younger employees working. The young woman was handling orders, making coffee, and even going into the back to prepare food. She seemed pretty overwhelmed and honestly looked like she was doing the majority of the work on her own. At one point she asked her coworker for help with a customer at the front. He made the drink, but when the customer mentioned it was incorrect, he appeared frustrated. She immediately stepped in, calmly corrected the mistake, apologized to the customer, and made sure the order was done right--all while keeping a smile on her face. She answered questions easily, stayed kind and professional, and even managed to take care of what appeared to be a family member who came in, without letting it affect her work or service. She continued to apologize for the wait and stayed attentive to everyone despite being clearly very busy. Overall, the service was excellent, and her work ethic and attitude really stood out. This place really impresses me, and customer service like what she showed today will be one of the many reasons I will continue to return.

    I love this coffee shop so much! They have an awesome variety of drinks (including a cereal latte…read moreseries), food and homemade bakery items. I love trying a different latte flavor every time I visit, but my favorite so far has been the Cookie Butter with macadamia nut syrup, recommended by one of the staff. They always have A++ recommendations and are so friendly. They also make their soft top in house and it's amazing!! The only food menu item I've tried so far has been the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a little dry, but the gravy was super flavorful and it was a large portion for the price. I really want to try the churro waffle and the mini pancakes! My favorite baked good has been the red velvet macaron and the s'mores macaron decorated as adorable animals. Some local touches that makes this place special: a seating and toy area for littles, a build-your-own bouquet bar, and a super cute apparel stand with embroidered hats, sweaters and other accessories. Parking is easy, and there's cute shops in the area too plus the park across the street. The WiFi is strong enough to work from, although I wish there were a few more power plugs in case the corner spot is taken. It's my favorite place to spend my lunch break or an easy morning!

I dream about their banana caramel latte every day until I can get my hands on it. Highly recommend! Their pastries and food are quite yummy as well.

The morning I visited had a fun mix of laptop workers and moms with their kiddos -- a lively balance! The fairy lights inside won me over instantly star eyes Even on a busy Wednesday morning, the line moved quickly. The three girls working were a well-oiled machine! You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they call your name when it's ready. They've got pastries and snacks too, and the wifi info is on the corner of the pastry display case (small, but spot-able). Bonus points for the "Drip of the Day" -- though I don't discriminate, I take ALL coffee lol. The menu was a little hard to read (could just be me!), so I'd recommend peeking at it online beforehand. I've been on a banana kick lately, so the Banana Caramel Latte with their house-made caramelized banana syrup was calling my name. Got it iced and large. I usually like my coffee SUPER sweet, and while this leaned less sweet, the flavor-to-coffee balance was honestly lovely. I really liked it! Always love finding new coffee spots in the area -- I'll definitely be back!
