    Came here for brunch today, and despite the place being packed with a line out the door, the experience was great from start to finish. We only waited about 10 minutes in line to order. Michelle at the register was fantastic--super approachable, patient, and welcoming while taking our order. Just a heads-up for anyone planning a visit: indoor seating is very limited, so if you plan on dining in, be prepared that seats fill up fast. We opted to take our order to go and waited outside in the shaded patio area. Our drinks and muffin came out fast (around 5-10 minutes), and our food took exactly 30 minutes. What really stood out while waiting was the customer service. The owner/manager went above and beyond, checking in on everyone waiting outside, keeping us updated on our orders, and genuinely thanking us for our patience. The food and drinks did not disappoint (it's a 15 min drive home, but our food was still warm): Mocha Hazelnut Iced Latte & Iced Matcha Latte: Both drinks were smooth, well-crafted, and delicious. Thee P&H: Incredibly flavorful and a standout item. South x Southwest (with added bacon): They were sold out of biscuits for the day, so we swapped for sourdough. It was still hearty and packed with flavor, but now we definitely have an excuse to come back early to try the biscuits. H Street Block (French Toast): Fresh, perfectly sweet, and topped with delicious blueberries. Pastry: The poppy seeds and blueberry muffin was satisfying and paired great with our drinks. Between Michelle's awesome service at the front, the attentive manager, and the quality of the food and coffee, Lucille is well worth the wait. We'll definitely be back!

    My wife has been here several times because she works in Modesto and I work in Stockton. So when we had a chance to go together to eat lunch here, we took advantage of it. This place has a lot of personality and very good food. Love the menu options. Everybody was very friendly in the service was great. The ambience was fun and decorated cute. FYI, it is very popular. Seating inside and outside was tough to come by. We got lucky and found a spot inside, but I could see how getting this to go would be an option. I'll be back.

    H Street Block

    Found this spot to stop for breakfast and it was a great find! We were immediately greeted by two friendly staff. They have yummy pastries on display but the breakfast menu has tons of savory options. We ordered H Street Block which is a blueberry french toast casserole. It was the perfect size. It looks small, but it was very filling and just enough to get my day started. It's a bit pricey for the size but since that was the portion I wanted, I wasn't too disappointed. One of the workers mentioned they do have kids menu options, but they didn't have the printed kids menus available, so if you don't see them, just ask when you are ordering. The Champions Breakfast platter was a great choice for our kids to share. It was one of the better fruit bowls I've seen, with a variety of fresh berries and oranges. The place is pretty small inside, but we were there on a Thursday morning so it was no issue finding a parking spot or a table to sit. I appreciate how kid friendly they are, even bringing kid size water cups with lids, and there are even some children's books on the shelf in the back. Such a cute little spot, I would have never known about it if I wasn't looking on Yelp for breakfast places in this area.

    Benny on a Bun  Order this if you are staying there to eat it! Needs a knife and fork.

    The service was great, I ordered online, walked in and my order was ready to go. It's usually so busy, I avoid it because I don't have the time to wait during a 30 minute break. I ordered a regular coffee which was so fresh and perfect. My food, I ordered the Benny on a Bun, that's the wrong sandwich for a on the go morning. I didn't think to order the hollandaise on the side so my bread was totally soggy. The bacon was extremely salty. I'm not sure what brand it was but it was not good to me. I couldn't pick it up to eat it because I was driving. It was already soggy and wet to begin with, not the restaurants fault but I would say I would not order that for a togo order. It was not easy to eat, very messy and again, I didn't care for the bacon.

    ***Update*** Since I work as an Uber driver (one who attended culinary school) I always find myself eating in unfamiliar locales. Modesto is NOT close to home for me. After discovering Lucille several years ago, I will now willingly take rides far from home, although the fares sometimes dry up in the Central Valley. I have been to Lucille twice by myself. I brought my Godmother once. I recommend Lucille to everyone who I drive when they tell me that they live in or near Modesto. Today I brought my boyfriend and my dog, who lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was Saturday, super crowded and my dog was being super reactive with another dog across the way. It was super embarrassing and, although I am sure that it stressed out the staff, they were calm, kind and attentive. I was stressed and shrill, my dog was being a grade-A A-hole. I'm sorry Lucille! The beet salad at this place features fresh mint and I always get it. The chocolate cookie with flaky malden salt is very yummy. Their house coffee is very high quality and doesn't taste gross and burned. I didn't love my soup today. The bar was set pretty high with the carrot soup I had another time. Honestly, it was a small detail and this place is so much better than 90% of restaurants. They sent me another chocolate cookie. That was never necessary. I love you Lucille! Thanks for the extra care and the extra cookie! You really deserve a larger building because you are awesome!

    The food was great, and delicious. The staff was friendly. The ambience was inviting. Definitely a place to visit. It's a small but cozy place.

    Biscuit and fried eggs
    Julia B.

    I live in San Francisco, but I'm from the Central Valley, so I pass by Modesto every few months when visiting my family. My friend from Modesto told me about this spot, and I immediately wanted to try it. I actually planned my drive around this pit stop, which was just a short detour off the 99. I ordered a biscuit with fried eggs and dear Lord, that biscuit was amazing, and so was the jam! The fried eggs were cooked perfectly and especially delicious with the hot sauces they had to offer. My brother got an egg sandwich on a brioche bun and he still can't stop talking about how good it was. He was particularly impressed with the brioche bun. We also got the blueberry french toast to go, which I didn't anticipate traveling very well, but it did and holy shit, it was fan-freaking-tastic when I ate it that evening. I can't even fathom how incredible it must be if eaten fresh. This place was so cute inside and clearly had an intentional aesthetic direction. There was a cute outdoor seating area in the front where I could have my dog with me, which is a huge plus. The service was top-notch and the food was ready lickety-split. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I HIGHLY recommend this spot!!!

    Cortado
    True 5 R.

    [Lucille] -- [Modesto, CA] Final True 5 Rating: 3.76 /5 1. The Core Offering (Food/Product): 4 / 5 I got the cortado, and it was good; it was a little sour, might be a little under-extracted. But looking at the menu, there were some really nice options. 2. Execution & Consistency (Service): 4 / 5 The service was nice. i dd like how the service works. They give you a number and bring your order to you. 3. Environmental Design (Vibe): 3.3 / 5 I thought the vibe was nice, but it was busy when I got here. There was hardly a place to sit, and it was a little loud. which is actually great for the business! recomend to come when it's less busy if you're planning to do work. most likely early in the morning or at noon. 4. Attention to Detail (The Little Things): 4 / 5 One thing I really liked was how they brought a full glass of water with my drink. There was also music playing, which I did like. It was just a little louder, but a great playlist! The place seemed really clean as well. I also saw high chairs for babies, and I have not seen them in the other cafes yet, which I think is awesome. 5. Price-to-Value Ratio (Wallet Test): 3.5 / 5 I think the prices were pretty tipical. nothing crazy, i payed around $5 for the cortado. Not bad. The Breakdown: overall I think this was a good cafe. I did like the service and the place itself.

    Lucille's amazing pancakes.

    1) Best pancakes in Modesto! So light, delicious, and one is all I can eat! Almost and inch thick! 2) Best customer service! Folks are very attentive, friendly, and genuinely happy to see you! 3) We love everything! oh don't forget their amazing Biscuits too!

    The P and H

    Best sandwich I've had in a long time. I called it in and had to wait about 10 min - it was busy during the lunch hour. But staff were all friendly, everyone acknowledged customers that walked thru the door and everyone was hustling around to get orders out. I've worked downtown for about 4 years and have never gotten food here. I'll definitely be back - absolutely delicious!

    Leah B.

    It's been a while since I have been here, but I was reminded how much I love Lucille! It is such a charming spot with so much attention to detail. The service goes above and beyond! Everyone has a great big smile on their face and is so friendly! Once again, the coffee hit the spot, and the food was delightful. Their portions are huge! My boys tried their blueberry "soda" which was a hit. It was so refreshing! We spoke to the owner and found out the meaning behind the name, and it was a very sweet story. Lucille is named after her husband's grandmother. P.S. the biscuits and raspberry jam is to die for!!

    I loved the ambiance of this brunch place. It is a pay at counter and seat yourself type of restaurant but the system works well and the staff is very helpful about moving tables around to accommodate your party. The recommended special this weekend was a fermented pancake with cinnamon butter and malt maple syrup that paired so well with our benny on brioche buns. Great portion sizes and super friendly staff.

The service was excellent, the food was amazing and I was ultra impressed with the waitress explaining we can get gravy made with no pork and also for next time to ask for our home fried potatoes to also be cooked in non pork fat. ( I told her We don't eat pork ) It is so hard to find a place that offers no pork in their gravy. They went the extra mile to make us special non pork gravy on the spot, amazing. Also they fried our home fried potatoes in non pork oil, thats the extra extra mile of care and service and attending to a customers needs, I was completely satisfied. I cant wait to try more of the menu. Everything we ordered was good. The cinnamon bun was so good, I would go there just for that alone, yummy and fresh and moist and soft and so much frosting and yes I said and alot, AND? Haha Pro tip: if you dont eat pork ask for them to cook your potatoes in non pork oil and if you want gravy ask them to make non pork gravy. You have to mention it to your server, dont forget. Now go & enjoy, you can thank me later. Make reservations if possible or go on a slow day, the weekends are packed but worth the wait. They have alot of seating inside.

You're products that were tried weren't that great and thats the issue at hand. you're coffee isnt stong even with a quad shot, & 7 pumps of brown sugar and it wasnt sweet or the "dulce de leche" as you so call it tasted like plain caramel. The pan that I tried was DRY, and size for price point was atrocious. I undertsand the cost of goods, the cost of running resturants as I have also done so. For comments to be made claiming just since your a small buisness owner and people should just take products as given and not look into it further based on price and quality is insulting. Money is not the factor here for me, but it could be for some. Good food cost good money but unfortunately you're Coffee shop does not fall under that category of worth the dollar you have set out. If thats the type of buisness you're running on worring about "making a profit" then this isnt the buisness you should be in, Working with food takes passion and a want to make the product the very best not just what can keep a store open. Ive been a pastry chef for well over 15 years, have worked in some of the hildest yielding bakeries in southern Califonia since my early twenties. So the quality of goods isn't somthing I don't know about. I write about food and give my honest opinions on such based on experience in this field. Ive ran restuarants, worked on labor cutting cost and what the over all profit margin on the product. Mexican pan culturally is some of the most inexpensive baked goods to make. We come from a culture that is for yield based on poverty standpoints. Pan mexicano was created as an item that could be enjoyed on a daily because of its low cost of production. So Making a cookie that is smaller than my palm for two dollars is as I said wild. People need to support Local panederias instead of theses gnetifried locations who supposedly are for the people. you're a franchise youre in the buisness for the dollar stop kidding yourself with the idea its based on high quality products. Restuarnts are expensive to run thats very understandable, I know that well enough but making it the excuse for shitty items isnt gonna slide. Unfortunately our cultural wants to appropriate so much that we start catering to everyone instead of sticking to our roots of goood cafe with amazing pan. This is why people need to stop supporting these instagram loactions that are all for the views. Saying that youre locations aren't for instagram is a lie and we all know it. Places having social media presence is okay but worring about the outisde more than the product that is being produced is the problem you can have items look appealing to the eye while also being quality, and if that were the case hell yes im down to spend 15 bucks on a large cup of coffee. Here no.
