This spot has been my to go for few years now. I like coming here to work, it can get vey loud inside when gets packed especially during lunch hours. They also have outdoor seating patio area, front yard, & backyard. I do want to say be aware mosquitoes in back area {sometimes}, but definitely worth going outside. As coffee I have always gotten Azteca Mocha latte, a bit disappointed now that they no longer have shaved Mexican chocolate added on + add cayenne pepper to drink. I know trying new things, however that's bit too extra adding spice to coffee. I always forget to say no cayenne pepper. Luckily staff always willing to remake it. Staff are super friendly and super welcoming Price not bad for a large ice latte On downside parking is limited! Definitely recommend check them out they are involved a lot in the community check out calendar for events. read more

This is very disheartening to post, as I have frequently raved about this spot to my friends, family, and colleagues, and have contributed many years of support to this local business. A friend and I ordered a bagel from another small business, as I have dietary restrictions that limit what I can eat. I thought it would be nice to enjoy a bagel and coffee from Queen Bean Coffee House and spend some time in the ambiance of the establishment. Unfortunately, I was wrong. As soon as we walked in, we were met with odd looks, looks of confusion and, quite frankly, judgment. We didn't think much of it, considering the current state of the country and the fact that many minority groups experience this regularly. We ordered two coffees, spent about $20, sat down, ate, and waited to enjoy our drinks. Shortly after, a man approached me in a very confrontational manner and said, "I'm the owner of this establishment. Don't you think it's rude that you're eating those big bagels in here?" I was shocked by both his tone and his approach toward two young women. I told him that he was being passive-aggressive and speaking in a belittling way. He continued to call us "rude" and said our behavior was disrespectful. This felt incredibly hypocritical, as the disrespectful tone came entirely from him. Not only was he confrontational, but he also attempted to push the "angry" and "loud" stereotype onto me. I am posting this not for him, but to bring awareness to other customers that no one should tolerate attitude or behavior from someone who does not accept them. People like him contribute to the division in this country. If this truly was about a bagel, he could have approached us quietly and respectfully, rather than embarrassing us, drawing attention from the entire restaurant, and making us feel judged, laughed at, and extremely uncomfortable. I am a big supporter of small businesses in Modesto, and I have spoken to many of them about this situation. Not a single one agreed with the owner's approach, tone, or behavior. I hope those who read this review understand that supporting this business means supporting harmful rhetoric that continues to divide our communities. read more

The Queen Bean Coffee House is a cozy spot with a lot to offer. I stopped by recently and tried a few things from their menu, and the experience was really enjoyable. Their selection of sweet pastries is the first thing that caught my eye everything in the display case looked fresh, inviting, and perfect for a quick treat. The pastry I chose had that ideal balance of flaky and soft, with just enough sweetness to pair with a warm drink. I ordered a hot chocolate to go with it, and it hit the spot. It was rich without being too heavy, creamy with a deep cocoa flavor, and served at the perfect temperature. It's the kind of drink that makes you slow down for a moment and actually enjoy it. I also tried one of their muffins, and it was a great addition to the visit. Moist, flavorful, and clearly baked with care the sort of classic coffee-house muffin that makes you want to come back and try the other flavors too. The Queen Bean Coffee House offers a comforting experience overall. With a little more attention to speed and atmosphere it would easily reach five stars, but as it stands, it's a lovely place to relax, enjoy something sweet, and sip on a warm cup of chocolate. I'll definitely be returning. read more

My daughter absolutely loves this place. The Queen Bean is next to her campus so she frequently comes here after class for breakfast. She's also attended night events here , one night they were playing the movie Craft which is super cool! Very laid-back restaurant chill vibes. Great menu! Her favorite sandwich is the chicken pesto on a homemade focaccia bread. She said it's delicious! Also the Queen Bean blt is really good!! My daughter loves the lavender Matcha with honey. I look forward to going with her I wanna try the French dip. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally made it there after following the new owner's renovations on social media, and it did not disappoint! The new patio space that replaced the deck was so comfortable and inviting. The building itself looks great inside and out as well. The workers are so friendly and warm, and it's just such a happy place to be. Enjoyed a veggie sandwich and chai latte for lunch, and both were delicious. read more

I have been coming here since before the new owners took over. I love what they have done to renovate! They put life back into this coffee house. The backyard sitting area looks amazing and family friendly. The front yard looks well maintained and well thought out. I really appreciate how they have been very involved in the community and I was happy to see previous employees still employeed there! Sometimes when people take over you lose those great employees that have been with the business. My wife and I sat inside and ordered some food. She has The Euphoria and I had the Cali Delight Sandwiches. They tasted so fresh and were delicious! We will definitely be back to enjoy the vibes and food! read more

Queen Bean Morning Ritual Here in Modesto, my day begins at Queen Bean, with my chai. Today, I didn't have to ask. It was as if they already knew. I was quietly guided to order a large...and what I received was pure comfort in a cup. The extra honey and cinnamon foam? That is what sets it apart. Warm, familiar, and somehow elevated, this was the best chai I have had from any coffee shop in town. Sometimes it is not just the drink. It is being seen. And today, I was. read more

I had to go take a look , the setting is absolutely adorable indoor and outside, it seriously looks like a dollhouse. To my surprise..as I walked towards the house I heard loud metálica/punk rock ... and then I saw the sea of people all in black / tattooed every where ... colorful crazy hair and piercings . They were having a concert with a live band . I seriously was trying to process the clash , setting vs the crowd made me smile . It was super busy so I decided to grab something small and come back another time for a meal . I ordered a frappe and it was more on the bitter side vs sweet .not bad , but I do prefer sweet . The pastries I tried were good . read more

LET ME TELL YOU. This is the first place my bf took me to as a date when we first started talking. So this place is very near and dear to my heart. But let me tell you about THAT CHAI ICED LATTE I GOT THE OTHER DAY. I can't stop thinking about it. Whoever made that is truly an artist I wish I saw who it was. I have had so many chai lattes in my grand life and I can't stop thinking about this specific chai. I'm coming back asap! Obsessed. And also great customer service everyone is so kind and cool! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. My friends and I came in and purchased coffee, but one of my friends has allergies and brought her own food for medical reasons. Instead of handling the situation politely, staff were rude and dismissive about it. There were no visible signs or posted policies stating that outside food wasn't allowed. What made it worse was that they later made a TikTok post about the situation, which felt unprofessional and unnecessary. We were paying customers and expected to be treated with basic respect. I won't be returning. Maybe focus on being understanding with your customers instead of running them out. read more

My Lady and I have made this our "Sunday Spot". We've been here several times and from the mimosas (pineapple or pomegranate) to the burrito bowl, the food is great! We've had a chance to speak with the owner a few times and he's a great guy. Their staff is eggggggcellent. Everyone has a great, great attitude. We found the place because of the music they have on Sundays. This Sunday they had a one man band. His name is Nathan Ignacio and he was grrrreat! We enjoyed his songs very much. The outdoor space is just fantastic. They have the right mix of sun and shade. It's great for couples, families and Dogs! We highly recommend this spot and we'll be back..again. It's a grrrreat spot for first dates! Dooooeeeeet! read more

I haven't been to Queen Bean since high school, but found it again a couple weeks ago when I was Yelping for a cozy place to read my book! I love the feel of this place, I don't know what it is exactly, but I do so enjoy coming here, sitting outside on their porch and reading. Their Halloween decor was awesome this past month! The service I've received has always been great. Being on keto, I haven't really gotten to try anything other than a salad and an americano, but both things have been good! read more

This place is cool. I went here pre-renovation. We came to see a comedy show in the back. I've only been to this place a couple times. The service was nice. Everybody seem cool and chill. I don't think I tried anything to eat if I did it was probably OK. I do know this place is known for their coffee so I think I did order a coffee. I've been watching them redo this place board by board tear up the stage. Find a bunch of stuff underneath it been a cool journey to watch this place grow. This was quite a few years ago. They went to the show so I don't think I have any pictures to post. I'm sorry.. but if someone's from out of town and they're looking for a coffee besides Starbucks, I would recommend this place. read more
