I wanted a light breakfast and happened to be in Modesto. I yelped and this little quaint spot came up. I had the fancy toast and my wife had the Breakfast of Champions. We had a mocha and a mimosa. Everything was delicious. The place is super tiny which makes it more desirable to be in there. If you catch a table you can order at the counter and they will bring you your food. Staff are all very nice. It felt so homey and made me feel so welcomed. Highly recommended!!! read more

Great place for gluten free option. Service was great. Place is small, so if you have anxiety, it might be an issue. Lunch is super busy which means it's a great little hidden gem. read more

Omg! The best gluten free sandwich I've ever had! This gluten free bread is only recognizable by size but otherwise is nothing like any gf bread you've had. It's crispy, chewy, airy, holds together well (hardly any crumbs on my plate) and best of all tastes amazing! Because of the size, my one sandwich was basically 2 full sandwiches! This place is such a gem! Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, and the best food! I will be back ... probably tomorrow! read more

Lucille - Gluten Free Thee P & H - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

Had been wanting to try this place out for a while. The place is super cute the vibes are cute however it was really crowded you have to go inside order first and then find a table to sit/ wait for others to be done if all tables are taken. I also was a bit shocked/disappointed with the amount of serving of the mimosa $10 for half cup of mimosa. For 1 sandwich 1 bagel 1 mimosa $50. The tables outside were also not very sturdy however I will say I do like the vintage plates in which the food was served and the waitresses were very attentive. Parking was easy for being in downtown Modesto. read more

Lucille - Orange juice mimosa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. It was well worth the wait. The food was AMAZING! I have some food allergies and they were prepared to accommodate. I ordered the "Freshy Fresh" sandwich with gluten free bread. It was the perfect compilation of sweetness, spice, and acidity. The goat cheese pickled onions... there just aren't enough words. I also ordered a sugar free vanilla oat milk latte which was perfect and beautiful. The staff was sooooo awesome continuously checking in with us. We sat on the quaint little patio. The plates were sooo beautiful. Definitely 100% recommend! You won't be disappointed read more

Food was great, coffee was ok. I asked for a latte and a capuchino with caramel and both were lacking sweetnes. I did like a lot the south x Southwest. The service was great and the atmosfere was really nice. I will definitely come back. read more

Awesome little spot! They gave my kids coloring page and they were completely chill. Awesome service fast and great food

Such a fun surprise! We were driving past Modesto on a weekend and the family was hungry so we decided to try something new. Yelp said great things about Lucille and no surprise...Yelp was right! The staff was super friendly. It was crowded but they got us seated inside and then gave us the opportunity to move outside as it was a beautiful day. The Champion Breakfast platter was amazing! It even came with a side of fruit that was so fresh and delicious. Sorry no photos but I couldn't help myself it was sooo good. English muffins are great but the sourdough bread is too good to pass up. My vegetarian wife was in love with their baked goods and the Early Bird sandwich. They also have a blueberry waffle dish that is unique and worth trying. They have three hot sauces two from a company called yellow bird. The yellow bird sauces are very unique and complement the food well. If you're in Modesto, swing by and thank me later! read more

I attended a work event in the area and I found this place on Yelp which was in the walking distance. I ordered the P & H sandwich with no bacon but after a long wait and when my food arrived, I noticed the sandwich had indeed bacon in it so I had to remove it myself. The waitress didn't even approach me once to ask how the food was while I noticed waitresses attended other tables more than once actually. Though the food was decent, the service lacked. I won't be returning. read more

Upon entry my wife and I were ushered to our table. We waited for a while before we received our hot water and cold water drinks and even more time before we ordered out and received our food. All staff were friendly and helpful. This was a nice clean light place for breakfast and lunch. read more

We have not had anything that we were disappointed with. Marissa and Wyatt have an amazing touch with their kindness and great food.

This place is a real surprise for Modesto. It reminded me of some of my favorite breakfast /brunch places in the Bay Area. Great ambiance, outstanding service (despite being very busy), and great food! I definitely recommend giving Lucille's your business. read more

Food is good. Customer service is great. Indoor and outdoor dining is excellent. Love the purse hooks under the tables.

Big city feel in the heart of Modesto . On the twelve't hundred block of downtown , on H street , you'll find this amazing gem. The outdoor patio gives this place its initial cool vibes impression , filled with patrons from open to close , you can always expect to see someone you know . Inside you'll find a node to the past while its updates feel warm and welcoming ! The food is what really elevates and separates this "café hybrid " from others , from their biscuit's that are constantly sold out , to some of their staples like the P&H (a take on a turkey bacon avocado) are what truly brings this place up to date with a palette teasing menu that will have you coming back week after week . The ambience , food and service is the perfect amalgam that'll have this place around for years to come ! read more

I visited for the first time yesterday, Sat Apr 26, and I had the "champion" breakfast platter: eggs over medium, sausage patty, and English muffin with REAL butter and housemade jam! EXcellent comfort food. The fruit was not precut soggy melon chunks out of a bag. This was FRESH chunks of apple, pinepple, tangerine sections, and a few raspberries. Some website photos show other variations with strawberries. I look forward to coming back again to try the Early Bird or Benny on a Bun. I'm confused because some of the pictures show both halves of a bun with 2 eggs open-faced, some show one egg on one half bun, and some photos show one egg with both bun halves as a sandwich. Hmm.. if I can find someone to dine with me, we could share a full order AND a side of CRISPY lemon-pepper potatoes- with extra hollandaise sauce. :D YUM! It was busy when I went in around 1pm. The place is cozy and intimate, but not "cramped". I sat inside, but there is also outdoor seating. I saw the dishes that other people ordered: sandwiches, breakfasts, etc. Everyone was enjoying their food and having a good time. The place cleared out by 2pm. [I eat slow, and I chilled for a while with my iced tea and a crossword puzzle book.] Then 3 O'clock rolled around. As they were closing, I had a blast chatting with the staff about the sugar syrups they were making and the various soups they prepare, and good conversation in general. [HUMBOLDT County!] I gotta try a bunch of things on the menu. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! read more

Amazing food, great quality, great service. Ive only been here twice but they were so fast both times and the food is incredible. The P&H is so fresh. read more

4.7/5 Small space inside but so cute! We got South x Southwest: its on the heavier end for both my friend and I, but I chose it since it's something different on the menu that I don't typically see elsewhere. Biscuit and butter w/ rasberry jam: this was really good. Just get it and try esp. If you like biscuits. Drinks: The Standard: espresso with whole milk, its as expected and I enjoyed it. Pink chai latte: really pretty but did not have much flavor for me. As for my friend, it was bitter. Also got Side of bacon and eggs. Very clean inside including the bathroom and they even have feminine products if needed. You can sit outside also. I gave it 4.7 instead of 4.5 because service is specular! I would come back again. Would probably try the Benny on the bun next time. read more

What a GREAT day Lucille. As I sit here eating next to Bill (William) Ackerman, founder of Windham Hill Records (and famous guitar player)...long story how I knew but it started with my Ukulele Jay BBQ shirt I was wearing. I was taking in the great menu which is a slight spin on breakfast items put together in a way that everyone can find something on the menu that is not plain vanilla breakfast items which is refreshing to see someone going a little out of the box to satisfy their customers. We ordered a latte with caramel simple syrup which my wife said was outstanding. We found out the coffee if locally roasted in Modesto by a family so staying local and supporting small business has always been my style. My wife and I shared the H St. Block which is a generous (ok big) portion of a blueberry french toast casserole that was fantastic. Tons of blueberries, syrup and some sort of brioche bread that was amazing. Tender, sweet and tasty! To balance the sweet we also split the OMG BEC bacon egg cheese breakfast sandwich that really hit the spot. Marissa, the owner with her husband who is the chef (she works the front of the house) is a gem. Super nice and informative, such as Lucille was the last name of her husbands grandmother (I think I got that right) Lucille opened in January of this year and they definitely have what it takes for a long successful future. Don't miss this place. 5 all the way! read more

Service, food, and drinks are amazing. Just know it's super busy! Very small, so not a whole lot room to move around! The pink chai is one of the best coffee drinks I've had! read more

This is such a cute and clean place. We ordered THEE P and H lunch sandwich and the Lombardo sandwich. It was delicious, the bread was so fresh. And their service is so kind, fast and courteous. Bailey our server was so kind. They take phone orders as well. read more

Came here after completing the 2Mile walk with a Cop community event, I'm sooo glad to finally have given it a try! It definitely did not disappoint customer service was excellent, the food was soo delicious! The ambiance was eh for me, not much space in the sitting area but that's not deal breaker for me but I can see it being a bother to others. Will definitely be revisiting! I spent $50 2 breakfast sandwiches, 2 coffees and a Coffee cake & tip. Parking is off the street and keep i mind they are located on a one way street. They take apple pay & Card payments. read more

Amazing service! I forgot that people could be so kind in food service, I was very impressed by the quality of the service and the attentiveness of the staff. I've had amazing food and coffee here on other days but yesterday I just got some sides for a birthday breakfast. They obviously had no idea it was my birthday but I still felt so special just by the way they treated me. It gets busy! (Rightfully so) and so if you're going with a group you may want to get there early to secure a seat. This place is so cute and the atmosphere is incredible. Hats off to the staff and chefs! I'll definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for a cafe in downtown Modesto read more

Lucille - Side of toast and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

Patronized Lucille based on reviews and was not disappointed! Had a breakfast sandwich with one of the best biscuits ever baked. The inside of the restaurant is quite small with tables for 2 but there is outdoor seating. Service was great and I will return, read more

A BLT made me write this review. So, I've been coming to Lucille for a couple years now. The food is ALWAYS exquisite and the coffee is my favorite in the area by a landslide. The quality, consistency, and just wonderful flavors and atmosphere keep me coming back. Today, I decided to try something new..the BLT. Now, I was just looking for something light but with protein. I like BLTs sometimes, but I definitely don't love them. When I say I actually GASPED. The first bite was shock. I genuinely had NO IDEA it would be that good. The next was pure ecstasy. It's by far the best BLT I've ever had. I'm starting to question if it's actually just the best *sandwich* I've ever had. No photo because I ate it all before writing this review. read more

Breath of fresh air for the Modesto area. Modern classics on the menu and delicious cold or hot coffee/espresso options. The server went out of their way to accommodate my family and provided awesome service and was attentive to others needs creating an impressive ambiance for the area. I will be returning to try some more goodies when I can, I recommend! read more

Lucille - Eggs Benni on a bun, Good lookin salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

*** Vegetarian Review *** Good Day Lucille is the kind of place that makes you feel right at home. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with big smiles and infectious energy. It was my first time there, but it seemed like half the customers were regulars because everyone knew each other's names. I couldn't help but wonder if I had stumbled into a small town diner in Modesto or the iconic Cheers Bar in Boston. The friendly atmosphere set the stage for a memorable dining experience. Food - A+ / bold taste, not too sweet Portion - B+ / luckily I was only looking for something light, but if I was a hungry Bruncher, I might have found myself leaving with a grumbling stomach. The dish I ordered was actually served on a saucer, rather than a lunch or dinner plate. That should give you an idea of the portion size. But hey, if you're looking for a quick bite or a petite treat to satisfy your cravings, this is the place to be! Service - A+ / Some of friendliest group of people Ambiance - A / Cozy. I was at a table, but I literally could take the salt and pepper shakers off the next table without breaking a sweat. Comparisons - Sacramento's Tower Cafe has a signature French toast. If you love that, you'll love this. While both are excellent choices, blueberry enthusiasts will undoubtedly find themselves leaning towards Lucille's delightful creation. Similar in texture and flavor, but not portion. Tower literally towers over the portion at Lucille's, but both pack large flavors. Tips for first timers 1. Free street parking 2. Limited seats. I've driven by this place twice before and there was a long line of people waiting. Great sign of the quality of the restaurant. Bad sign if you're really hungry. 3. Order at the counter. Not sure if they have rules for order first, find your table later. Good Day Lucille is a small yet charming restaurant. With only about eight tables inside, it creates an intimate and cozy ambiance. However, they do offer around six outside tables, perfect for enjoying a meal on a sunny day. Another great perk is the free street parking, making it convenient to grab a bite without any hassle. H Street Block ($12, Grade A) - as noted above, the portions are smaller here and that was fine because I was in the mood for something light to tide me over until dinner. A blueberry French toast casserole served with a generous drizzle of blueberry sauce and maple syrup. The flavors were mouth-watering. Just imagine a marriage of French toast and bread pudding. Apart they are delicious on their own, but together ... yup! The texture alone had me hooked. Imagine a soft, doughy middle that's reminiscent of a perfectly baked cinnamon roll. As you venture closer to the edges, you encounter these fantastic layers that have soaked up all the sweet blueberry and maple syrup drizzles. Now, I won't lie, the outer edge is a tad drier, similar to the parts of a cinnamon roll that miss out on the icing. But fear not, because every single bite was generously coated in syrup and adorned with fresh blueberries. Seriously, why are you still reading this? Drop everything and head over to Good Day Lucille right now. You won't regret it! To sum it up, my experience at Good Day Lucille was a memorable one. The friendly and welcoming staff, coupled with the cozy ambiance, made me feel like part of the family. If you're looking for a fun and heartwarming dining experience, make sure to pay a visit to Good Day Lucille. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

Food is great. Friendly service and it's super cute as well. Would recommend this to family and friends.

I can go on and on about this place but you wont read my long review so I will just say, go visit Lucille! Period! I would love to gatekeep this place but I wont even though it will mean longer wait times but it's absolutely worth the wait! Everything on their menu is mouthwatering! From the H Street Block to the Trusty Steed, their Lombardo and their Pink Chai Latte!!! The owner and the employees make you feel like you're at a family gathering, always greet you with the biggest and most contagious smile! read more

Food is not bad, but would not come here again due to bad service in getting everyone seated. It's a free for all and not everyone has common sense of eating and getting out to make room for the people coming in. Management don't seem to care. read more

The cutest brunch spot in the 209 that's aesthetically pleasing AND has delicious food. Amazing staff. Everyone is so welcoming and the quality of the food is the best of all the breakfast/brunch spots here in the valley. I also tried their Vanilla iced latte to go and that is my favorite definitely recommend. read more

Lucille's has become one of our rotating breakfast, brunch, lunch spots and need to give an update on my original review. The customer service is unmatched! Everyone is always so kind and very welcoming. Even in the busiest of times. The decor is so cute! Love all vases with real flowers on each table. The vintage plates used to serve are so adorable. The food.... Ugh...... SO GOOD! Their in-house made biscuits are what we dream of and one of the main reasons we have GDL as our rotating breakfast spots. Even if you don't want to order anything else, get a biscuit with the butter and jam. Literally drool worthy. Their coffee menu is also really good. They serve both hot and iced coffee's. I learned that their large drink comes with 4 shots of espresso, so if you're into that, come get their large latte's. The small drinks come with 2 shots of espresso. (There is also matcha, chai and other tea's for the non-coffee drinkers.) There is limited indoor and outdoor seating available. It does get pretty packed and at times, there will be a wait for tables. However, I also see a lot of online/phone orders for pick up. Overall, come and give this place a try! read more

Lucille - South x Southwest w/ The Standard (coffee) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Modesto, California

This has to be the best experience I've received in a restaurant in a very long time. I have a very limited diet for health reasons and 100% of the time have to substitute or omit something on the menu. I was able to order off the menu and it perfectly delivered. Taste, service and atmosphere was a 10. Sat outside during the 110 degree days and during lunch was 95 degrees. It was comfortable outside, servers moved the umbrellas while the time passed and sun was moving. Customer for life. read more

I come here any chance someone I know has a free early morning to share. Each visit I try something new on the menu, and each time it is always so yummy and flavorful. It is an order at the counter joint, but the customer service makes it feel otherwise. The staff frequently checks in on you and is always helpful. Thank you for consistent quality, and service! 5/5! read more

Stopped by for brunch on a drive to Yosemite. This place did not disappoint. I'm usually skeptical of veggie sandwiches but I couldn't resist the description of the focaccia sandwich with herbed cream cheese. This probably turned out to be one of the best veggie sandwiches I've ever had - the combination of the cucumber, beets, and carrots came together perfectly. Also shout-out to the friendly staff! We'll be back the next time we're in Modesto! read more
