modern coffee

I got a vanilla matcha, pretty tasty. Cafe opens up into an atrium which was a bright and quiet place to work, super perfect for what I needed. The wifi worked well (I didn't realize, but was still here after they closed and the wifi was working) and bathrooms were clean.

Love their chai's and all of the tea options here! Always good seating, clean, and friendly service. One of my fav cafes in downtown.

I've visited Modern Coffee only a couple of times, but have been blown away by their ability to craft excellent tasting coffee and tea beverages. I ordered the masala chai and their burnt cinnamon latte, and both were full flavored and so delicious. The baristas know just how to make the perfect cup of coffee or tea! I love the ambiance here; just enough lighting and seating, and the interior is extremely clean. I will most definitely be back for more!

I have been on a long term work assignment in the area and have tried a few independent coffee shops around that area. I am a total coffee snub and Starbucks is junk coffee and I prefer to support small business. I stopped here after having been very dissatisfied with other places in that area. Fantastic, I am now a regular until my work assignment ends. Their coffee is perfection, I am particularly in love with the Burnt Cinnamon latte. OMG! Who came up with this delicacy? I can't get enough. I also have had some of their teas and again, a total home run. Love this place and the staff is very friendly they get your drink out quickly.

People of color beware! This is not a welcoming place for us. Asked the barista to sit in the property, and then was harnessed by the security guard Natalie Chandler the entire time.

Very nice coffee shop. Great alternative to the Starbucks with no indoor seating. However, vagrant camped out inside the coffee shop without purchasing anything, talking up a whole table.

Cool little spot. I guess I beat everyone in as there was only one person in there. The ladies working were super attentive, friendly, welcoming. Being half awake it's nice to be greeted in a happy way. I ordered an ice latte which was made right on. It was a lovely way to get the very long day kicked off.

I've started goin here somewhat frequently, about once a month somtimes a little bit more and I am always sooo happy with my drink :*)I'm a barista myself and have gotten pretty tired of basic espresso drinks, but this place has some really yummy flavored lattes and chais that aren't overly sweet or gimmicky. Modern Coffee and Hidden Cafe are probably my favorite cafes for drink flavor and quality!The staff are always the same 2 people working -at least when I go- who are both pretty straightforward and friendly :*)

The burnt cinnamon coffee I had was so delicious. Ordering was so easy. I had so much help as a first timer to learn all the items and it was a ery quick turnaround. By the time I ordered, there was a line almost out the door. I felt like I had just stumbled on this great gem, but the line told me the secret was out!I am looking forward to trying more of their menu staples as well as the season drinks.

PARKINGLimited street parking and some parking garages nearby. They are very close to the 19th Street Bart Station and the AC Transit bus stopDRINKSI came for the matcha and love it! I've also had their chai which is quite nice. I see some regulars come for their daily coffee orders so I feel like you can't go wrong hereI particularly like the iced matcha latte with oat milk. There are also seasonal flavors which absolutely brightens my day! SERVICEFriendly, helpful, and very efficient. I've liked everyone I've ever encountered here. They're so nice.AMBIANCE I love the decor and vibe here. You can definitely sit and sip or work there. There's a back area you can go too. You will have to show your vaccination card and there's an hour time limit for sitting inside as of May 2022. There's also an area out front with high top chairs you can sit at.Be sure to go before 1pm because they close then. I definitely recommend going!
