Penny University — Restaurant in Modesto

Always wanted to stop by & after a trip to Intrinsic Elements - I finally had the chance :)

I went on a weekday & it was quite busy for a weekday afternoon, albeit it was during lunch time.

There was no line so I was greeted and helped right away. Super friendly staff! The menu is right at the front counter so there was no display on the wall. There is also a menu on their merch display - I saw this as I was leaving.

I was stuck between ordering an Iced Bourbon Caramel Latte & an Iced Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte so I asked the person helping what they would recommend for a sweet tooth. Their recommendation was the Bourbon Caramel Latte since it was sweeter than the Brown Sugar. They asked if I was okay with whole milk so they do have alternative milk options.

My drink was ready in less than 3 mins, super quick! I didn't dine in so I had it in a to-go container. My drink was good, not as sweet as I wanted but I am literally a side of coffee with my milk & sugar type of girl. I would definitely go back & try their lunch, it seems to be a popular spot for it!

The bathroom is pretty cute hehe I wasn’t able to connect to the wifi on my phone for some reason even after typing in the password correctly, but that could have been my fault maybe haha It was pretty busy for a Wednesday afternoon! All the tables inside were full, and some people were even chilling on the tables outside ☺️ seems like this place is attracting a...

Absolutely spectacular! Penny Univeristy is nothing short of a hidden gem that is soon to be discovered by all. From the moment I engaged the staff, I was greeted by the most astonishing staff, whose warmth and friendliness instantly made me feel at home. Their knowledge of the extensive menu is magnificent, and they genuinely seem passionate about their craft, which is reflected in every cup they serve.

The atmosphere of the shop is equally impressive. It’s a haven of calm with its beautifully curated decor and inviting ambiance. Whether you’re looking for a cozy corner to read or a vibrant space to catch up with friends, this place will deliver on every front. It’s clear that great care has been taken to create an environment that’s both relaxing and energizing.

Every visit here feels like a special experience, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're a coffee or tea lover, prepare...
