Deva Cafe

Worst service and food I’ve ever had!!! My brother and I met there for breakfast this morning at 10:00. The waitress came over 30 minutes into our visit and told me they were out of strawberries for my crapes, so I asked her to chose a substitute. We had been there 45 minutes when I went up to the counter to complain about how long it was taking. They said we were next, and that they have been busy… even though most of the people had already left the restaurant. They did not apologize. I paid $ 13.00 for two crapes filled with sliced bananas with whipped cream, and a cup of coffee. My brother’s scrabbled eggs and potatoes were cold. Good place if you just want to meet for coffee, but save yourself the money and agony by not ordering food.

Haven’t been here in years! Breakfast was good with large portions. Yummy apricot preserves. The service was exceptionally good. Very nice gentleman behind the counter. Attentive, friendly, quick, and efficient. This kind of service is what keeps me coming back to an establishment. Glad to see Deva is still doing well.

Our experience here was really good. Sunday morning, nice live band, friendly staff. The drinks were pretty good, I wouldn’t call this place a coffee connoisseurs paradise, but it’s definitely yummy. They accidentally brought us a mocha and I told them we didn’t order it but since they already gave it to us they just said «it’s on the house», and we enjoyed that. Food looks really good too.

Good food options, lots to choose from
For the veggie lovers.
Loved my partobella mushroom sandwich
Good ambience.
So so service.

Our absolute favorite place in Modesto. We will be there tomorrow for breakfast. I’m dreaming of an iced latte with my breakfast. Mmmm. Cannot wait. See you then.

Loved this café! We are from Australia and travelling across America and use Unilocal to help find the more ‘independent’ café’s and restaurants. Deva was perfect for what we wanted. I made my own omelette and my partner had the eggs and sausage. As neither of us eat bread or potatoes, the awesome Marcus offered us cut fruit instead which was unexpected and appreciated. The food servings were large and the coffee was good.

Best place for breakfast in downtown Modesto! Recommend the chicken Parmesan sandwich for lunch and their breakfast scrambles truly are delicious

Found this little cozy gem by happenstance & was pleasantly surprised. Food and specialty coffees are amazing.

Fresh and delicious food. The french dip was tasty, and the bread perfectly toasted on the inside and soft on the outside. The pesto pasta salad was delicious too. I would absolutely recommend coming here.

Had a nice lunch there. Very good burger with crunchy toasted bun, My wife had the French dip which was tasty but the meat was dry (hard to find a good French dip in northern CA)
Do yourself a favor and read the menu on paper. The overhead menu seems to highlight coffee drinks and veggie items.

Great little café. Friendly staff and very family friendly. Great place to stop by and have a nice lunch, coffee or beverage with friends. Definitely a must if you have never been!

Great food for breakfast and lunch. Always freshly cooked and fresh tasting. The coffee is great and there is always a good beer or two on tap. The local art and music scene is well represented. I love coming here on Sunday mornings and enjoying the live music. Not to mention the owners are great! Very friendly and always working hard to provide a unique dining choice in downtown Modesto.

Their omelettes make me happy. It also makes me a better person in general. Their coffees are great. The staff is amazing. But really, their omelettes make me happy! :D

Fabulous service, the food is reasonably priced and the café is adorable. I’m all about individually owned business and this establishment embodies it. Local art, community event information and a perfect location to meet and eat.

Solid local coffee shop.
Pros:
–good coffee, friendly staff, good food options.
– free WiFI — but its public.
– LOTS of seating.
– better than going to a Starbucks.
Cons:
–Not many outlets for cords.
– kind of cold, bring a sweater.

Thank you Devas for offering the best veggie burger in town! I’ve tried many sandwiches, all very delicious and a mimosa over breakfast is the best way to start the day! The prices are reasonable but worth every penny. The only bummer is they close mid afternoon. Sometimes my pallet wants to enjoy their foods later in the day… I love bringing my friends here and introducing them to Devas delicious food. Thanks again guys :)

Never again!
Went for breakfast this Sunday and was not impressed. The portions are small and overpriced — especially painful when the food is mediocre at best and service is bad.
Although the place was almost empty, it took over 20 minutes for our food to come out, then, the toast was cold, eggs were cold and the potatoes not fully cooked. The jam was great but not enough for the cold toast. Never again!

Called in my order at 10:50. It’s 11:28 and I’m STILL waiting. 38 minutes for a freaking sandwich? And there are only two customers? Won’t be wasting my time here again.

There once was a pregnant girl who craved a veggie sandwich. She Unilocaled and Unilocaled until she found a perfect shop with a perfect description of a perfect sandwich.
Deva, you had me at grilled portabella. or was it mushroom or the avocado. Heck it could’ve been the roasted red pepper, tomato, Jarlsberh cheese or the herb mayo! Idk but it was absolutely delicious! It was exactly as I imagined but most importantly it satisfied my craving. HAPPY!
