    From the outside.
    Dave M.

    We have now been to My Garden Cafe three times since it changed ownership from the Waffle Shop of before and can report that it's a keeper for us. The food has been well prepared each time, the service as good as we could want (they have always seated us promptly each time, and immediately take our drink order and food order promptly thereafter). We sense that it is locally owned which we always prefer over big chains places. Portions are generous, and all has been tasty (my wife is more picky than I and she has nothing but compliments for the quality of the food. The ambiance is created by both the vibe the staff put out (totally focused on the customer) and the makeover of the place, it appears they have added and/or enlarged the windows, and hung a number of paintings/prints of Highland cattle which my wife loves. We will definitely be back as this seems to have become our new Sunday morning breakfast place.

    Delicious food and portion sizes are HUGE!!!!

    My Garden Café on Coffee Rd (where the old Waffle Shop used to be) is phenomenal! From the warm, friendly staff to the delicious meals and generous portion sizes --everything was perfect. I've always loved their other locations, but this was my first time visiting this one because of my crazy schedule. I'm so glad I finally made it in... oh my goodness, you've got to come check them out!!!

    For the price you pay you get very basic food you can make at home yourself ... not going back there

    I live in San Francisco, but I'm from the Central Valley, so I pass by Modesto every few months…read morewhen 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!!!

    ***Update*** Since I work as an Uber driver (one who…read moreattended 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!

    My boyfriend took me to eat at the Velvet Creamery for breakfast after a doctors appointment we…read morewere in town for. I had never been here before but he remembered eating here as a kid with his family and always talked about it. The parking lot was packed and there were ALOT of people inside as well as a few large parties, but we were greeted and seated as soon as we entered. Someone came over and took our drink orders while we looked at the menu, though the restaurant was busy it wasn't too loud, and we could easily have a conversation. My boyfriend ordered the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with Hashbrowns & I ordered the Breakfast Combo #3 - their famous "baked here" French Toast, two eggs & choice of breakfast meat. I am extremely picky when it comes to French Toast, but this was really good, fluffy but crisp edges and a great flavor. Their portions were large, with very reasonable prices. They had a counter front ice cream bar that we did not partake in, however we may do so on our next trip. We will be back in the future.

Soooo yummy! There was a short wait. I was quoted 10 minutes, but it was a lot less! In fact, I was surprised to be seated so quickly dispite how busy they were. Ambiance was somewhat loud and busy. However, it was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves on a late Sunday morning/early afternoon.

    Came here for brunch on a Monday at 10:30am and there were only one or two other customers inside I…read moregot my usual (which is renamed now), The Skinny Brickhouse (or something similar. It is on their healthy menu)l. I got double egg whites, grilled slices of turkey lunch meat and a lightly toasted English Muffin with no butter. The food was delicious and prepared exactly as requested-, without any butter, oil or dairy. The staff was sure to prepare my food without any dairy due to my allergy and you could tell they take food allergies seriously here. Their black coffee is always hot and delicious. My friend got a sandwich and I don't remember what it was but she seemed to like it ok. My only complaint is that I felt like we had to keep flagging the waitress down for refills (they seated us in the far back "forgotten" corner). My food also came out cold. I had to ask them to warm it up. And it is FREEZING cold in there every time I go! I'll bring a blanket next time. Customer service was overall good and will go back just because I love the meal I ordered so much.

    I can't believe that I haven't written a review for Squeeze In. Silly me. It is one of our "go to"…read moreplaces. The menu is varied and everything I have ordered has always been great. The Bloody Mary's are spot on and the service is outstanding each and every time. The ambiance is, well...silly so we fit right in. The pictures you see here are from a couple of different visits plus one from a fellow Yelper.
