Preservation Coffee & Tea

Preservation Coffee is a charming, laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for a coffee break or a low-key work session. It's a small but hip spot, filled with character and quirky touches that set it apart from the typical café. For example, It cracks me up there there is a small TV playing old VHS tapes. I like the nostalgia and making it feel like a trip back in time a bit.There is not a ton of seating, but enough. There are a couple of tables outside for those who prefer some fresh air and people-watching (like I do), and a small upstairs area if you want some privacy or to get some work done. I enjoy the intimate setting. Overall, Preservation Coffee strikes a perfect balance between hipster charm and practical functionality. Whether you're there to enjoy a cup of quality coffee or knock out some work in a unique setting, it's a spot that invites you to stay a while and enjoy the slower pace.

We took their suggestion and it did not disappoint. Friendly staff and great coffee.

This is my favorite coffee shop overall in Modesto ! The employees are friendly, and I usually don't have any issues finding any seating. I really like l their matcha drink as I think it is mixed with another herb/spices. There is first floor and second floor seating inside. The second floor showcases some artwork (as does the first floor). However, if it is available, I think I prefer to sit on the first floor as those are closer to the windows that provide more natural lighting. I'm not from the area, but I come to Modesto to visit my lovely in-laws. If there's a time when they're all busy with something, at times I have come by here to get something to drink and read/journal.

Thought the space was very cute and calm, so I came here for the first time to attend an online lecture with a warm drink. I ordered my personal favorite- a hot dirty chai latte with oat milk (?)- and it was terrible. I was asked if I wanted it sweet, but it tasted sour and left a bad taste in my mouth as I went home. I was really upset as this place had really good reviews and I was looking forward to it (and even left a tip). Wish I had asked for another drink as the menu seems interesting.

Stopped by for an espresso while traveling around route 99 and enjoyed the visit. Espresso was very good, they had plenty of seating, good wifi and staff were friendly.I don't visit Modesto often but if I am in the area and need a coffee this will be top of my list.

Quick review - not a fan ! although my friends liked what they got. I got a cappuccino, which was very flat almost like an Americano. The coffee shop itself is bright and well lit and I saw a lot of people working there.

Very nice little coffee shop! I ordered an iced Orchata Chai. It was super yummy! This coffee shop has cool 1990's hipster vibes which i enjoyed! They have two little tables outside and a few tables inside, I got some work done, and my two daughters did a bunch of homework, they loved it so much they have been back many times! Cant wait to come grab some coffee here again. The staff was super nice and welcoming!

My favorite coffee shop in Modesto! They are simple, and that's the best part of my experience here. Not a huge menu but all great options and the staff is super helpful if you are confused about what to order. They have pretty strong coffee, and they have a points system to earn a free coffee after a few visits. I like the contractor iced because it's not as sweet as the clubhouse mocha, and I also enjoy the zephyr if I am looking for something not coffee based. Highly recommend this place to my coffee connoisseurs.

After our lunch we decided to try this coffee place out. This spot is small and has a few tables inside. They have a small tv with a vhs player and many vhs tapes on the shelf against the wall. We decided to order an iced Havana with oat milk and a clubhouse mocha. Both coffee drinks tasted good and service was quick and friendly.

Definitely enjoy coming here and relaxing while drinking coffee with some sort of food. Service tends to be pretty positive
