Espresso: Coffee Creek uses Taylor Maid Farms as their coffee supplier. It is of note that the barista did everything correctly. Ground to order, tamped, etc. It was served a little on the long side (probably just over 2.5oz. for a double), and had a slight paler dot in an otherwise darker, mottled brown head. The crema was thick and long-lasting. The cup had an aroma of vanilla and caramel, but the taste in the cup was overwhelmingly sweet and fruity.
Atmosphere: The Creek is a smallish shop in a large stripmall. Although there is ample outdoor seating, it wasn't getting much use on this quite warm Saturday morning. Inside, it was quite crowded. The interior layout is in an L-shape and features standard cafe tables at two heights (the taller ones being along the wall).
Verdict: Quite good; anyone who is in Modesto should stop in.

Tim...do you know who served you? guy or girl? Blog is back up and running. Oh and as of Aug. 2 I will be working at Ritual!
It was a girl, but as there were two working at the time; one rang me up, and the other made my shot, so I'd be hard pressed to remember even what she looked like by now.
ah yes, well its a shame I missed you. My e-mail has changed as well...I neglected to tell you. you can find me at truth57@gmail.com
