We had a very disappointing experience here. The workers were not welcoming when speaking to customers, and instead of being genuinely helpful, they acted like they were doing you a favor. The mocha tasted exactly like the crème brûlée drink, so most of their drinks seem to have the same flavor but just different names. The place itself is extremely noisy and uncomfortably narrow, making it hard to relax. Prices are also very high compared to other coffee shops. The only positive thing I can say is that some of their pastries were actually tasty—but that alone doesn’t make up for the overall poor experience.

Central Coffee in Tracy — You Lost a Loyal Customer Today.
I’ve been on a daily mission to survive this heat — iced coffee in the morning, iced tea lemonade in the afternoon. Between myself and my staff, I’ve probably spent $30–$40 a day at Central Coffee. That all stops today.
Today I had one of the most ridiculous experiences I’ve ever had as a customer. One of the baristas — whose job is literally to make drinks — made me an iced tea. Her boyfriend, who works next door, decides to get jealous and starts acting crazy. Like… what?
He actually tried to start a whole scene over his girlfriend doing her job. Not to mention the tea was half-decent at best. I kept it respectful, brought it to management’s attention, thinking they’d shut it down. Instead? The employee backs up her little boyfriend, causes even more of a scene, and management does nothing.
Let’s be real — this place just became a liability. When your staff and their drama start interfering with your customers, you’ve already lost.
I spoke to the owner — zero help. So, I’ll take my money (and my team’s business) elsewhere. Plenty of coffee spots in town that know how to act professional. Heck, I might even open one across the street for fun.
Stay cool, Tracy. Stay far away from Central Coffee. ☕❌

Extremely Unprofessional and Unsafe – Disappointed at Central Coffee in Tracy
As a regular customer who has supported Central Coffee in Tracy for quite some time, it’s disappointing — and honestly upsetting — to have to write this review. I’ve made this place part of my daily routine. I’ve stopped in nearly every day for breakfast, coffee, and even desserts. I’ve always appreciated the vibe of a small local spot where you can count on good service, a familiar face, and consistent quality.
And to be clear — this place is not cheap. The prices are on the higher side, which I never complained about because I thought I was paying for a premium experience. But what I experienced recently was anything but.
One day, I gave a harmless compliment about the iced tea prepared by a young female employee — something casual and respectful. I don’t even know her name, and our interactions were always limited to the normal customer-staff level. But her boyfriend, who works next door, somehow took offense to that and confronted me aggressively, clearly out of jealousy. I calmly told him to relax, that there was no reason to act like that — I’m just a customer who comes in for breakfast and coffee. That should’ve been the end of it.
But a few days later, he approached me again, making more bizarre and accusatory remarks. Again, I told him he had nothing to worry about — that his girlfriend is young enough to be my daughter, and I wasn’t there for anything other than my regular drink and food.
At this point, I brought it up to management, hoping they’d step in and handle it appropriately. Instead, I was told they can’t do anything about it. That response was shocking and frustrating, especially as someone who’s supported their business daily. No customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or targeted for simply patronizing a business.
And it didn’t stop there.
After I spoke to management, the same female employee — who clearly knew about the complaint — confronted me publicly inside the coffee shop, raising her voice, causing a scene, and acting incredibly unprofessional. Her reaction was completely inappropriate and uncalled for. Other customers saw the interaction, and I was embarrassed, uncomfortable, and honestly shocked that something so unnecessary escalated in a place I once enjoyed.
The whole experience felt more like something out of a toxic high school drama than a local café that charges premium prices and presents itself as a friendly neighborhood spot.
To summarize:
• I was confronted twice by an insecure boyfriend over nothing.
• I made a respectful complaint to management.
• The employee confronted me in public, loudly and unprofessionally.
• Management did nothing to address any part of it.
If Central Coffee can’t protect its regular customers from harassment — or even maintain basic professionalism — then I can no longer support them. No one should have to worry about being dragged into personal drama or feel unsafe in a coffee shop.
I won’t be coming back, and I sincerely hope the owners take a long, hard look at how this was handled. It’s one thing to have bad service — it’s another to feel harassed, disrespected, and unsupported in a place you’ve spent your money day after day.
Nice place hard to get a chair due to lots of people

Hey, the service is super Nice. The only thing was that i payed the most expensive chai ever. And it was the sweetest drink i ever had. Remind me of the time when i used to work at Starbucks and tried all the syrups all together and had a very Bad stomachache at the end. ?. Super mega sweet. Honestly they overchsrged things here. And it's not worth the experience. The coffe store is very cute i get that. But please, just take into account the products You use. ?
