Giacomo's Espresso

This place has the best coffee in Modesto! A major plus is the staff is super nice and fast. I have had quite a few questions because I just started going here and the staff is so patient with me.

The coffee was good and the barista was really nice. Luckily we came when we did because so many cars showed up after us. The service is relatively fast though.

I can't even express how much I love this place. Before I would always get Starbucks and no other coffee place. After trying here one time I was hooked. No more Starbucks for me. Much better ingredients also. The Baristas at this place are so incredibly sweet and really try to make their customers happy, even more on their bad days. Appreciate each and every one of them. So sad to see Maddy go but understand she is moving on to bigger things in life. Love you ladies. Thank you for all that you do to put a smile on everyone's face 💖 Edit: Maddy/Peyton You made my heart feel full today. Wish I would have gotten a pic of both of you !! Thank you 🥲💕

I absolutely love coming here every time I'm in town. I used to come here often when I was in highschool with a best friend at the time. It's the best coffee in town!!

Super friendly customer service. Great tasting drinks. The bagels are tastyyy!! Nothing like supporting your local small business

Coffee is amazing! Employees are even better! I needed this! Thank you so much!

Been going there about 25 years that coffee is my favorite and the service is always great 😃

The staff there that waits on myself, and my fiancé is very nice, very heartwarming and serve the drinks like we request. These people are very good people. I’m very proud to say that this place is going to be our place for our drinks. Thank you so much everybody

I have been coming here since 2004 and I will not go to Starbucks. This is my favorite coffeehouse and I get the Crème de Menthe mocha chill…it taste just like the Girl Scouts thin mint cookie.
BEST COFFEE EVER!!!!!

I asked a TON of questions and the barista that helped me was fabulous. She answered everything and then some, and was happy to do it. Prices were great, she was great, fast service, and the drinks are really good. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Ive tried both here and queen bean downtown, and I'd say this place is better. Both offer your standard as well as fancy drinks, and pastries. Giacomos has less full size sandwich type options, but has the drive through which is amazing, and I dont typically go to coffee places for sandwiches.

Drink notes:
-two fancy iced drinks only costed $7.80. I seek out unique coffee shops, and this is the best price you will find anywhere
-the iced mocha uses DARK CHOCOLATE (the best!).
-For iced drinks, she recommended the nutty Roman (hazelnut, caramel, something else) as the most popular, and its really good! I ordered one half sweet, and its perfect for me. The regular sweet one is comparable to a Starbucks type drink (but better flavor imo)
-the drinks use syrups, which is fairly standard
-they use big ice for their drinks
-the espresso tastes fairly light. I didnt ask what roast they used, but it seems like a light roast, even through my flavorings

Great service, great coffee drinks

LOVE this coffee spot. I've been patronizing them for over 20 year's. I love that they are closed on Sunday's so the employee's can be with their families. Another thing I respect & greatly appreciate is I've been paying the same price for my favorite drink for at least the past 6 year's. My favorite hot drink is a monkey mocha and my go to cold drink is a mocha chill. They are both yummy but honestly I've never gotten a bad drink here.

Always 5 stars in my book. Been coming here since they opened 25 years ago. The cappuccino chill is hands down the BEST. It is the standard by which I judge all blended coffee drinks. I’m just sorry those chill machines are so finicky to keep running and repair. Seems like a constant struggle.

The BEST COFFEE! The best customer service! Hands down!!!! 😁Been coming here since they opened over 20 years ago!💓

Great selection of beverages, friendly staff, and good deals of the day! Me and the wife stop here regularly on the weekends and occasional weekdays and have yet to be disappointed. They also have great smelling candles!

I love Giacomo's! I remember growing up going with my Mom to get my hot chocolate when I was younger. I've continued to go here! Their service is quick and very kind. Love the staff. Of course their drinks are delicious, too!

Love this coffee shop! They have AMAZING coffee and great customer service. I choose to go here instead of other big chain coffee shops because they actually care about the customer & their coffee is the bomb. Support local businesses and come try this coffee! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Giacomos for serving GREAT coffee with a genuine smile.

I go there everyday. I mean every single day. Except Sundays.
Xl caramel macchiato
So much better tasting coffee than Starbucks and cheaper

and if you buy 10 you get 1 free
Starbucks doesn't do that. Nope.
Best coffee. and smoothies .
Nice friendly people.

Monkey mocha blended with chocolate whipped cream 🤤

I've been going here for a few months in lieu of Starbucks, and I've got to say it's the best change I've ever made. Drinks are cheaper and come in bigger sizes, they taste amazing and customer service is great with these guys. They're always fast and friendly
