But my bestie goes to this spot often so I had to check it out. It's off the beaten path and in a house. But they have signage so you know you're at the right spot. You walk in and BAM!!! It's a modern looking coffee shop. They had coffee. They had pastries. They had tables and chairs. They had cool wall signs to take selfies with. And they had swag! Everything on their menu sounded good. I opted for a hot Horchata latte and I was quite pleased with it. Bestie got their seasonal pumpkin coffee, iced. We shared a Dubai Chocolate croissant. OMG that filling is nom nom nom. And the staff was super cool. I enjoy just being able to have a fun conversation. I totally dog an upbeat atmosphere and that's what I experienced at this unexpected coffee house. Now I know what my bestie has been raving about. I honestly would rarely make it out to Livingston seeing that I'm in Oregon, but this place left me with such a good impression, I just had to share. I do hope to return again to try more of their creations. I got a couple of bumper stickers and will be reppin' them in Oregon.

Happy 1 year to Sueno Coffee!…read more Things have definitely changed since my first review in 2023 so it felt like the right time for a lil update: Sueno closed up shop for about a year, then came back with a full renovation and an entirely new concept. What once was an occasional weekend pop-up has grown into a full-fledged coffee shop. Sueno now features a complete coffee menu, fresh pastries & bagels, cozy indoor seating, a sunny patio, branded merch, community events, and all the charm that made it special from the start. Hours are typically Thursday - Monday, 7 AM - 1 PM. I always recommend checking out their website or insta (@suenocoffeeco) for updates on hours or special events. Mobile order is the way to go if you're looking for a quick in and out. Ample parking is available up front as well. The true inspiration for the updated review is the freaking banana latte, holy shit! This is beautifully done and I cannot get enough. The last couple visits home have started with Sueno Coffee. The Rise & Grind bagels was also such a great addition.

[Clayton Coffee & Tea] -- [Modesto, CA] Final True 5 Rating:…read more4.6/5 1. The Core Offering (Food/Product): 5 / 5 This place offers so many different things! From teas to coffee to equipment. What they offer is fresh and always good! I've never got Somthing from Clayton's coffee and not liked it. 2. Execution & Consistency (Service): 5 / 5 The service here is amazing! They really take care of the customer. Every time I walk in I'm always welcomed with a smile and great service! 3. Environmental Design (Vibe): 4 / 5 From the outside it might seem a little off or you're not sure where to enter from. Once you go inside it's great! There is a small room where you order and a bigger room where the magic happens! It's really nice. 4. Attention to Detail (The Little Things): 5 / 5 I really like how there is an espresso machine in the welcome room. You can really smell the coffee when you walk in! I do also really like the menu. The design is really cool! 5. Price-to-Value Ratio (Wallet Test): 4 / 5 The prices are not bad, typically around $22 for a pound of fresh coffee beans. I usually get half a pound which comes out to exactly $11. Not too bad. Over all this is a really good place for coffee and tea lovers! Coffee is all in the beans and this place really offers a very good product!

They have tons of interesting vitamins, and healthy foods but today was about getting a coffee. Cold brew is always my go to. They don't have any syrups or pumps of syrups available, but they do sweeten it with monk fruit. So I did a cold brew with monk fruit, and a splash of half-and-half. And it was very tasty. The guy is working in there were very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated and I will definitely be back.

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.

I stopped by this locally owned coffee shop to give it a try and ordered the banana pudding latte…read more Let me tell you--it was one of the best coffees I've ever had! The flavor was perfect and truly tasted like banana pudding without being overly sweet the cookies on top was just the right touch. I wish it were closer to my home because I'd be here all the time! If you're in the area and looking for a great coffee, the banana pudding latte is a must-try.

We decided on the Honeycomb and Banana Pudding, both very delicious, and I appreciate the balance between the velvety taste of espresso and sweetness.

I love how low key the environment is, great place to sip and have a good conversation.

She remembered the Lantern Cafe so we headed there after setting up her table. The Lantern Cafe is located in the Kolligian library by the Student Center. They offer many coffee options and my favorite, chai tea latte. Their prices are reasonable: my large chai latte was less than $4. The chai latte was well made; smooth with the right amount of chai. You need to ask for cream cheese (plain or strawberry) with your bagel. They split the bagel for you and hand it to you in a small paper sack with a cream cheese container. They have a 4 slice toaster for you to toast your bagel and wooden utensils. My pesto bagel was soft, fresh, and toasted well in the toaster. The Lantern Cafe accepts cash, credit, Cat Dollars and Flex Dollars.
