Preservation Coffee & Tea

Great vanilla latte made with Olympia coffee… I had not heard of them, but what I have had today is really good!

Bonus, they sell Cat and Cloud coffee! Yea!

Definitely a go to stop for coffee in Modesto!

The best coffee experience in town. The coffee is excellent and the staff is pleasant and helpful. Don't expect an expansive food menu, local made pastries are always available, luckily they won't disappoint.

Location is nice and a parking garage is nearby. In and out in less than 15 minutes and the parking is free. Definitely possible if the line is short.

Space can often be limited on the first floor, as it usually fills up quickly. A loft-like "second" floor with additional seating is also available.

Artsy types and trendy youngsters will definitely be afoot. Definitely a plus - it keeps the atmosphere fun and fresh. Don't be afraid of dropping in with a well behaved dog or child, everyone is welcomed here. 😉

TLDR; personality, quality coffee, tasty snacks, and friendly staff - all with a unique and wonderful flavor.

This coffee did not hit the spot I was recommended to go here because they had the best coffee and I've honestly had better. I got a vanilla iced latte and first off it didn't taste like vanilla and the coffee tasted burned. I also bought a pastry and it tasted like it was old like it's been sitting there a few days.

Also I believe that place could have been much more cleaner and more decorative for being there a while and I was a bit disappointed. They also have a small menu. GoodLuck!

My favorite local place for quality coffee and tea. As often as I've gone, I haven't had a bad or over-roasted cup. I love the modest but very tasteful selection of loose-leaf teas and it's one of the very few places I know that I've never had over-steep hot tea. Somewhat bohemian, cozy and modest. Very, very friendly staff.

I love their coffee. It is one of the best however, I'm only giving 3 stars because everytime I asked for 190° or extra hot coffee, they don't make it. Instead, I end up with a lukewarm coffee which I hate. I always end up giving my coffee to my husband and would just go to Starbucks to get extra hot coffee. Its such a waste of my time. I hope they change this so that the customer will be fully satisfied.

Why don’t you guys have oat milk? Almond milk is a thing of the past as it just doesn’t taste good in coffee. All the other shops have oat milk but here. That’s why I don’t come here anymore otherwise used to think it was pretty good until I switched to oat milk coffees.

Probably 2 years ago I got a Havana from recommendation by a friend. Thought it was the best coffee I've ever had. Some years has past since I went there and today, on a whim, I went in hopes they still had it. I order and not 60 seconds later I had it.... Yup, still best coffee drink I've ever had.

This is a real gem in downtown Modesto. It's a true coffee shop where the espresso shots are pulled by hand. The quirky staff is always friendly, and as a testament to how great this place it's, you'll frequently see off-duty staff hanging out here. It gives you a real sense of community that is lacking in the Wal-Mart, chain restaurant world we live in.
That aside, the coffee is excellent. Try the clubhouse mocha!

Rivals one other place for best coffee I have ever had. Most of the time I get a latte and it has the creamiest silkiest texture and minimal bitterness. If you usually get espresso with sweetener then I urge you to try this without because its not necessary for this coffee.

Coffee is great here! Some of the best I've had. The only reason for 4 stars is that the girl making the coffee didn't really talk or seemed unwilling to answer my question when I asked about their different types of coffee. The guy was great and professional.
I'm not too big on coffee knowledge but I love to drink it, I would have liked to have them explain to me the different types they have.
