Visited Lucille for the first time today for my birthday breakfast it did not disappoint! Atmosphere is relaxed. Cafe is clean and decor adds to the ambiance. Service was stellar, friendly and accommodating. Ordering is simple, straightforward and service was fast even with a full house. Food was excellent. I ordered their gorgeous and delicious pink chai latte and their blueberry bread pudding. My goodness! Thank you Lucille staff for a delightful and sweet birthday brunch. We can’t wait to go back.

Finally made it here. So happy we did! I got the BLT. Amaaaaazing! Another lady said that’s the only thing she ever orders. Seating is first come first serve. It was busy but we got lucky with a table. Wasn’t interested in a coffee but will go back to try it.

Such a beautiful little spot tucked in the corner! The staff are so kind and welcoming, and they even remade my coffee exactly how I like it. The whole experience was so pleasant, I’d totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy breakfast or coffee stop.

Everything about this place was so nice and comforting. From the atmosphere to the food to the service. They allow dogs on the patio and even brung out a water bowl for my girls. The food was exceptionally good and tasted quality. We’ll definitely be back !

The cutest breakfast spot with a killer menu. My go to is the South x Southwest and The Standard.
Plus I got the best cookie on my birthday. The owners are present and you can tell there’s heart in the kitchen.

incredibly fresh and delicious. Awesome portions. Freshly-fresh sandwhich with egg, arugula, and pickled veg is amazing. Staff is so kind and welcoming. Second time in Modesto and third time coming here, can’t wait to come back

Lucille is the extremely rare restaurant that excels at fantastic food, beautiful aesthetics, and truly caring service.
As a bit of a gourmand, I normally don’t pay much mind to looks or the quality of service at an establishment- some of the best food of my life has been eaten on the sides of roads or at little holes in the wall -but Lucille reminds me of the value of such creature comforts. On the other end of the spectrum, so many restaurants hide behind #aesthetic to serve mediocre food, but not here. Here the food is fresh, innovative, and delicious, while still being absolutely beautiful.
I ordered the Early Bird, the coffee cake, and a pink chai latte. The Early Bird was a fantastic and flavorful vegetarian sandwich- I’m not vegetarian myself, but it is always a treat to find a place that truly elevates veggie fare so that it stands equal to meat options. It was fresh and varied, with seasoned carrots, cucumbers, perfectly textured beets, with an herb cream cheese spread on the world’s most gorgeous focaccia. The coffee cake and the pink chai were homemade and the perfect level of sweetness.
The interior of Lucille is gorgeous and homey. The service- even though this is technically a counter-serve establishment, was friendly and jovial, even in the middle of the breakfast rush. Each dish is presented absolutely picturesque. I could go on and on about how beautiful this place was but I hope you understand the point by now.
And even for all of this, the price is insanely reasonable. My sandwich by itself was only $12.50. My total meal price was $23- and that’s with me splurging on a drink, a pastry, and an egg on the side for a lonely Valentine’s Day treat. For the quality you’re getting, the price here is crazy reasonable.
Lastly, special shout-out to the local ingredients. The hot sauce bottles you see in my picture are form the farmers market right up the street!
TL:DR; someone get this place a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating right now. I mean that 100% seriously.

Welcoming place with customer service that feels authentic. Small details from the fresh flowers to the antique plates made breakfast a very personal experience. The coffee was great and the baked treat was delicious. We had breakfast sandwiches and I can’t say enough about the bread. The biscuit is probably the best in the county. A very clean place, great food, and really nice staff deserve above 5 stars. The experience has made us want to return on a regular basis and become a regular patron.

I love Lucille! Their coffee is amazing and all the food I’ve tried there so far has been delicious! The standard iced coffee (not in photo) is so good! All the staff is so friendly and the place has a fun vibe. It’s not huge, so it can get a little busy at times, but definitely worth it!

I recently visited Lucille, and while it was busy, we were able to find seats outside, which was a nice option. It’s first come, first serve, so you seat yourself, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly courteous and attentive, making the experience even better. It’s refreshing to have a charming spot in Modesto that not only serves amazing food but also delivers excellent customer service. Highly recommend!
