    Strawberry Crumble Bar** Peach Muffin** Cardamon Tea Bread**
    Vanessa R.

    Great sit down coffee shop! Seating is very welcoming and offer a variety of different styles of arrangements. This place does get super busy although so be aware if you're coming at peak hour! I sat in house and was served with actual plates and cups, which I appreciate. I enjoyed just a plain cappuccino to taste their espresso and I can report it's creamy and smooth! I also ended up ordered a variety of their pastries, some outshined others but overall I was happy with the selection for a quick bite. I do wish there was a little bit more of a variety of pastries or at least a bit more stock, I got there fairly early in the day and there were already a few sold out. But again, I was happy with the selection I had. Will definitely be back to try the Matcha Flights!!

    Absolute gem! The iced brown sugar espresso was amazing. Loved the environment. Calm vibes. I got the avocado toast with boiled eggs. So crunchy and tasty. Staff was super kind and recommended wonderful items! Service 10/10, coffee 20/10!

    I'm still quite new to coffee and rarely drink it, so I can't really offer any advice on quality or taste. 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 staff here are friendly and welcoming and the space inside is great to study or work. Highly recommend this place and you can order online to skip the line.

    We found this place on yelp and decided to stop by. It was in a shopping center so plenty of parking. I came on a Saturday this place was nice and open. There was a lot of people there that day. I liked that they sold books and other things. I asked for what they recommend and the guy at the register said a latte they had that was going away in two days . I decided to give it a try. My husband got a hot latte. My coffee was absolutely perfect!! The woman that was pulling the shots knew how to perfectly do it. The cream on top was as amazing with little cookie crunch on top. I was not expecting this but definitely made my day! Highly recommend this place!

    Beautiful honey cinnamon latte

    One of my favorite coffee shops in the area. Drinks are extremely good, service is phenomenal. As for the food, there are great options, depending on when you go, could take a while. Atmosphere can get loud and crowded, but doesn't that just speak volumes of the quality?

    Good vibes, clean space, and small chatter here and there. If you're planning on doing work of any sort, just be mindful that Wi-Fi can get pretty slow when everyone's doing that. It gets better as people come and go. Choices for food are pretty limited to avocado toast, muffins, and other small bite items. They change their pastries every day, I believe. Crossaints and chocolate cookies are my fav! Good for a quick bite, but not a full meal. It's coffee shop, not a restaurant y'know ‍ The people taking your order are hit and miss when it comes to friendliness, but I just think it depends how many people are in line. It's only one person at the register, so I'd understand their pressure to get through everyone's order.

    Iced vanilla latte with Carmel drizzle!

    Fast service, small but cute spot inside, and not that big of a menu but coffee is solid. If you like stronger coffee I'd get an extra shot but I like my coffee sweet so it was perfect

    Vanilla bean latte and Choco peanut butter Buff Brew!
    Jillian Maree B.

    A cute coffee shop Id definitely recommend! This spot is adorable & has many tables and seats for when you want to dine in to study or meet a friend/family! I had tried the vanilla bean latte (iced)! It was not too sweet. Personally I like it sweeter, but I'm sure you can ask for additional sweetness or add ons! My boyfriend was recommended to try the Buff Brew (chocolate peanut butter). It has coffee with protein for the gym rats! Unfortunately they only have 2 flavors for protein coffee & I hope they eventually grow their selections (they used to have cookies and cream) Other than that, great experience, good people, and great coffee!

    Great crew each morning I'm there, everyone always has good recommendations! I love their extra stand that has different merch items, stickers, and other stuff like notebooks and jewelry. They recently renovated and offer plenty of seating

    Toast

    Me and my wife ran in while doing some errands. The setup was really nice. The seating, the art, the string lights, even the bathroom had some character. We split the snickerdoodle latte and the feta and fig jam toast, and I got my usual black coffee on the side. The latte had good flavor and wasn't too sweet. The toast was surprisingly good, I'm not usually a fan of feta, but it worked well with the jam. Service was fast and smooth, and it seems like a great place to sit and work for a while.

    Great aesthetics.. great environment..service 5 stars very clean extremely inviting. I've tried the vanilla bean latte, maple sugar and cardamom and all have been delicious

    Avocado Toast w/ Pickled Onion (Full)

    A real hidden gem in Modesto. Lots of seating, great for studying, reading, catching up with friends. Baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. They make you feel welcome right away! Coffee was presented beautifully and delicious!

    I wanted to love Culture Coffee. It's been in my bookmarks for a hot minute. Specifically because of their "Cardi C" menu item; I'm a sucker for anything cardamom. First impressions when I entered were that this is the sort of place you see out in the bay, or somewhere like slow. The hipster vibe hangs over the place like a pall. And it's so still inside! Why?! We live in a place where our summers are long and routinely in the triple digits. Walking inside a space and feeling the still, closed air is such a bummer. Make the drinks more expensive and crank that AC. Please. My biggest gripe though is that the "Cardi C" comes in one size and it's small! A tease of caffeinated dreams. It should be twice the size if you're only offering one size. The service was great though. I just can't see myself coming back.

    Tried different coffees a few times. Never hit on the mark. Either watered down or too much sugar. Weekends are usually packed.

    Everything is overpriced. I tried several times and coffee and bake were so so. Not impressed at all and thought not valuable enough to pay.

    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.
