The Queen Bean Coffee House

If you’re looking to support small business in Modesto, you definitely need to check out Queen Bean. They have delicious coffee, breakfast, and lunch. The inside of the shop is very comfortable and the outside is relaxing!

The space was really comfortable to hang out in. The coffee was awesome and what a beautiful building and courtyard. I noticed the backyard and explored on the way out. It looks like they might do something like poetry slams? It was a nice experience being in a real cafe environment again as opposed to the hustle of the fast foody cafe chains.

That's not a bad thing in this case, for this little cafe captures the comfy, expressionate feel of its locals.

The interior is extremely cozy with its creaky and familiar wooden floors, couches that are softer than your grandmother's couch, and art that represent ones love for coffee.

As for its exterior, the backyard allows visitors to immerse themselves into a garden with tall trees and the trickling of a fountain.

The food and drinks are excellent. A bit pricey, but it will be compensated for its taste.

They often have live performances at the cafe. I can never pin down the days exactly, but whenever I'm able to attend, I have a blast. If you attend enough times, you'll be able to point out the common local performers.

Come on down here if you want to study, have a meeting, or grab a snack. Don't be afraid to talk with some locals, you'll meet some cool people.

The atmosphere is fantastic, the house is beautifully decorated inside and out. The staff are friendly. The prices are reasonable and the coffee tastes amazing. I also had a breakfast sandwich, it tasted great and was large enough to split with my boyfriend.

The Queen Bean Coffee House was a wonderful surprise. Just driving by, I thought we had missed the place because someone took a quaint house and turned it into a coffee house/music hall. Inside are a few places to sit but the best places are outside with plenty of shade. Great sandwiches and coffee. Great service and a wonderful place to visit.

Not the best. When it said bakery I thought more baked goods in house, not really muffins and bagels from Costco. Coffee was comparable to Starbucks, which was disappointing. Cute place though

I really wanted to love this place. The building is adorable and I love the outdoor area. But everything inside was, for lack of a better word, dingy. Not the normal things, like I'm sure they wiped off tables and the dishes were clean and all that, but every other surface just needed a good wipe - down, everything from the walls to the table and chair legs . You know how finger print smudges will build up around a light switch from people feeling around for the switch? Imagine that area not being wiped off for years. And then imagine that every surface looks like that, not just the light switches . That's the best way I can describe this place. I think if they just took the time to deep clean and get rid of that overall grimy feel to the place, I would have given it five stars. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

Lovely coffee house, warm, beautiful. The service was over the top! Sylvia and Jamie work well together and made me laugh as I was watching them. They were very kind to help me out with some special dietary needs. The coffee is organic and they have non dairy options. There are many fine options for food and a variety of drinks. The outdoor area is gorgeous and the indoor area is cozy and just what one would imagine: a laid back down to earth space for deep conversations and fun. I was pleasantly surprised and I will definitely be back with family and friends.

Great place and fantastic service. Everyone is kind, and great you with a smile. Fantastic food and wonderful drinks. You have to stop by if your ever in downtown Modesto

The Queen Bean will always hold a special place in my heart. I moved back to CA after being gone for 5 years and the Bean was the place I met many of my new found friends. I appreciate that they support local art and music. I held a few charitable events here and the staff was helpful and accommodating. The staff works hard to maintain a space that welcomes anyone from all walks of life to chill, connect, and sip some coffee.
