    Outside patio

    This place was so delicious! I enjoyed the food here and the service was great ! Had a good chat with the man who took my order and the ambiance was calm and relaxing. Enjoyed a Vanilla latte with the delicious sandwiches they offered. This will by my new go to place for coffee !

    First time here, and I absolutely loved it. The staff was great and the ambiance was very pleasant and relaxing. We had coffee, the Azteca Mocha was delicious. Will be back soon.

    Always welcomed with a smile when visiting queen bean! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They had around two vegan options (I didn't get to try them). They have succulents and games outside. Pretty sure they have a cat that stays around the area too!! I normally see it sleeping by the succulent fountain!

    Caesar Salad
    James H.

    I needed to find a coffee shop to take a meeting and that was dog friendly. The Queen Bean Coffee House popped up and it's a nice little coffee house. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The Caesar salad was good. I opted not to add chicken. The salad was hearty and filling. I like the sun dried tomatoes. Sam the owner came out to say hi and see the puppy. He's very nice. Street parking only.

    They were quite busy when we stopped by. The place itself is pretty unique and they have both indoor and outdoor seatings. There was an open mic going on while we were there in the backyard so listened to the singing a bit while we enjoyed our breakfast. Can't remember the latte I had but it had a Mexican spice and I enjoyed the drink although I didnt taste much of spice at all to it and I was warned by the cashier about it. Burrito was ok and as expected. Crepes, definitely a let down. Would not order the Crepes again.

    BLT and Iced Chai Latte

    I've been wanting to come visit Queen Bean for a while, it's very cute inside and out and I love the twilight decals in the attic window! My BLT was fresh and very good and I was happy to see a little pineapple garnish (I love pineapple!) my drink was superb as well. I gave four stars however because I felt like the customer service was kind of lacking. When I walked in I wasn't greeted and just kind of got stared at for a second by the person up front, it's fine if they were busy doing something else but I just didn't really feel welcomed upon entering. I stood there for a while looking lost since it was my first time and didn't really have anyone prompt me for help. The person who took my order was kind and explained to me to either wait for my name to be called or the buzzer. I'd probably come back again, just sucked I wasn't greeted when entering because I was already nervous about trying somewhere new.

    I visited this cafe after hearing good things from friends, and my mom who also knows the new owners. I was excited to try it, especially since it's considered a hidden gem in Modesto. Note that parking downtown can be difficult. The place has a cozy ambiance as it's in a vintage house, with plenty of seating inside and out. When I walked in, a customer was chatting with the cashier for a while, and I wasn't sure when it was my turn, until the customer stepped back though they kept chatting. There wasn't a warm welcome or much customer service to start, but I let it go. I told the cashier it was my first time and asked about any fall drinks I saw on their Instagram, but she seemed unsure and a bit confused the entire transaction. I ordered an iced chai with pumpkin spice cold foam (even though I don't usually like chai) and enjoyed it as it wasn't too sweet or strong. I also got the breakfast bowl with sausage. It was good, very cheesy which I love. After working for a couple of hours, I placed a to-go order for my boyfriend and me (two drinks and two sandwiches). My order ended up taking over 20 minutes. When the cook handed me the sandwiches in an open box, I asked another worker for a bag so I could carry-out. I saw her go back to the cook, who visibly rolled her eyes and sighed. As someone who also works in food service, I felt bad and apologized for not saying it was takeout when ordering--but they never asked either. Honestly, after this visit, I'm not sure I'd come back on my own. While the drinks were good, the service was underwhelming, and I felt uncomfortable at times, especially when I noticed some older caucasian customers staring at me (a POC woman alone) while I was doing my work. Though that seems to be a common experience living in the Central Valley, that's not at the fault of the business if that is their usual crowd. Overall, it was just an okay experience, and I'd have to consider coming back... I don't think I would alone.

    I enjoyed my coffee which was recommended by staff. It was one that was a shaken oat latte. I loved the ambiance. The variety of plants, the visual of a waterfall in the background while chatting with my friend was soothing. The aesthetics of the converted house are very cute. The attention to detail lets you know that they care about their customers' experiences. Nice spot for coffee and also to find your Modesto Merch! I can't believe I didn't snap a shot of the coffee but... next time.

We placed a takeout order for 2 sub sandwiches and picked them up approximately 10 minutes later. After getting home and unwrapping the sandwiches I noticed that my sandwich had not been made correctly. I had ordered a Club Sub which is supposed to have bacon and mayo on it and it had neither. I was not happy so, I called Jersey Mike's and complained to the assistant manager who stated I only had to get on their website and fill out their form and I would get a coupon emailed to me for a remake probably within 24 hours. The Jersey Mike's corporate office in New Jersey emailed me 2 days later making a point to say each Jersey Mike's is individually owned so, they really can't do anything other than send the info to the owner. Corporate asked me for the ticket # which of course I no longer had because the assistant manager did not tell me it was needed which I explained when I responded. I then received another email asking for the date of the order, method of purchase, last 4 digits of my credit card and the total amount of the purchase which I then gave them. Today I received another email thanking me for the info and they would forward it to the owner. Geez, Jersey Mikes......is this how it goes for your customers when your employee screws up an order? As well as being given misinformation from the assistant manager on the remake coupon process? A total of 5 emails and still no coupon and it's now a week later. I think we will order from Togos from now on to avoid the hassle. Their sandwiches are better anyway.

    Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

The first time we came, it was just after this reel went semi-viral so there were a bunch of people lined up. Upon entering, the staff immediately let us know they were having issues with the kitchen and that they had no idea when it would be back up. We decided to leave and return another time. The second time, I made an online pre-order. I decided to get the meal deal for 4 (and a separate order of the blueberry biscuit fried chicken sandwich) for the most variety. This deal includes: - Chicken Option: 8 pc tenders, 16 pc wings, or 16 pc nuggets. I went with the 16 pc wings. They were heavily battered, and the wings were cooked through and still juicy. I wasn't too wowed by them though. - 2 Sides: I went with the honey mustard pasta salad and chipotle potato salad. The pasta salad was soggier than expected, but flavors of both were pretty good. Chipotle potato had a nice kick. - Loaded Wedges: This was literally a potato quartered into 4 wedges. Tastewise, I really liked the seasoning they used on the potato though. I didn't care for the loaded part (cheese, bacon bits, green onion). - Choice of 5 sauces: Personally, the best part of the meal. Their sauces are on point. I went with the strawberry heat, pineapple pepper, XXX, fuego, honey mustard (accident; I wished I had gotten the hot honey blueberry bbq instead). - 4 Can Drinks: Cool I guess, but wished the deal was focused on the food options. The separate blueberry biscuit with chicken was also only just OK. The biscuit wasn't fluffy or buttery and the blueberries were there visually only (barely any blueberry taste). The chicken was fine and not dry at least! The wait the second time around also wasn't bad. I scheduled a 12:15PM order, and I think I got my food about 15-20 min later. Overall, it was a good one-time try!

I was skeptical at first because I didn't smell any aroma outside lol. Ordering was really simple and they have a lot of dipping sauce options. I chose the lemon pepper, buttermilk and rodeo. Rodeo sauce was great. My son liked the Buttermilk I didn't get to try it. The Lemon Pepper was alright but it was mustard based so it mainly tasted like Yellow Mustard. Loaded wedges tasted great. Have to eat them fast because the cheese solidified quickly as it cools. The front counter associate was great with helping decipher on which sauces to order. Also pricing is very fair for the amount of food you get.

He was a bit smug, sarcastic, couldn't be bothered to explain what options I had to substitute, didn't offer me a combo before assuming I only wanted the sandwich and ringing me up for it. I basically did his job for him. It was the most uncomfortable and unpleasant exchange honestly. I picked potato salad for my side to which he told me I could grab myself out of the fridge in front of me. I looked,, and said, there isn't any. He begins to describe what the container would look like as if I'm incapable of recognizing a container of potatoes. At that point the gentleman behind me even interrupted and said, there's no potato salad in there man. So my advice would be, remove that guy from the register. He is your face of Jimmy John's and he sucked. Moving on.. the sandwich. It was DISGUSTING. From the moment I opened the wrapper I was put off by the smell off something sour. Like spoiled meat. Something just didn't sit right. The bacon was burnt, there was lettuce when I asked for none. I'm so unhappy with this entirely that I don't think I'll ever return given all the other choices I have here in Modesto for far better quality, customer service, and vibes. My advice, DRIVE PAST THIS PLACE! That's why the place is almost always empty.
