Devine Grind

I’m a fan I’ll be back again, good strong coffee simply put and good fast friendly service

Ordered a cappuccino it was awful tasted like watered down low fat milk. Wont be coming back to this place. I mean how can you be a coffee shop and make such a boring cup of coffee. Very disappointed

Cute coffee shop. Super nice barista. Yummy iced caramel macchiato with almond milk! :)

Three stars because I generally like this café.
I’m dinging it a star because lately when I come here on Saturdays it’s never open. They say on a sign that they’re open Saturday’s until 5 or 6 I think. But so far the past month or so I get there at 2:30 or 4:30 only to find signs saying they were closed at 3 today or 12:30 today, etc.
Could just be that they need more business and can’t afford to be open. But on the other hand it’s final exams season this week and last so you’d think it’d be better to have it open since it’s possible people would want to study here or at least buy items.
It’s just disappointing because I like this place and when I’m actually available to drop by it’s rarely open…

What a pleasant surprise!
I had an event at the Corinthian Grand Ballroom and arrived a bit early so I decided to find a coffee shop. This place is awesome.
There were a ton of coffee and tea selections. The owner was so knowledgeable about the coffees. Will come back soon!

This coffee shop is so good! I came here with a friend around 9am on a Sunday morning and it was quiet and nice inside the shop. I believe I got a latte and it was delicious. I also got a croissant sandwich and it was very good. The owners are super nice people and are very accomodating.

Stumbled upon this gem while doing some work in San Jose. I’m from SF and it’s always nice to get out of the city and explore other mom & pop coffee shops.
Not wanting to walk too far from where I was, the hustle and bustle of all the people further down 2^nd street (not to mention the lack of parking) was not ideal but I headed that way anyway. As I was walking I saw Divine Grind — with 1 customer. Normally I never know what to expect, but it was early, and I needed coffee, and the place looked CLEAN — something I always notice first.
As soon as I ordered, the lady (Im sorry I didn’t catch your name) warmed the delicious almond croissant up for me and brought it to my table. She was extremely sweet and so was the gentleman working.
Another thing to note is that though it was empty, people kept coming in every few minutes to grab something to-​go. A majority of these people were obviously regulars and had grown accustomed to this place. Plus its JUST on the outskirts of market, totally walkable. I almost don’t want to draw more attention so it wont be more busy, but these guys deserve it!
All in all — great service, friendly experience. I’ll definitely be going back and recommend it to everyone.

Decided to try DevineGrind based on Unilocal reviews. So glad I did. It’s a cute little coffee shop a couple of blocks from the hustle and bustle of downtown. I had the iced coffee which was fantastic.
It’s a quiet coffee shop, so perfect for the business meeting I had. We were able to talk and actually here each other. A couple of people were here also doing work on their laptops, so I’m assuming good free wifi, although I didn’t use it personally.
Will definitely have more meetings here and be coming back soon.

My cousin introduced me to this gem and I instantly enjoyed the the drinks and the warm welcoming service. Devine has a dog friendly patio area. I usually go on weekend mornings before work and with framily. There is metered parking. One time I was close to reaching my parking time limit, and the owner was super kind enough to feed my meter!
There is a huge menu of hot/​cold/​iced all either coffee and fruity. There is also a barista specials menu. Note to cold-​brewed enthusiasts: they use coffee for ice cubes!
I usually dont care for sweet drinks, but Devine has the recipes for you to indulge in when you have those sweet tooth cravings. I take all of my out-​of-​towner guests to try the toasted coconut mocha frappé! In the past i ordered this drink as an iced coconut mocha, which is great. My best friend made the genius request to make the drink a frappé, and this is all i’ve been ordering since. You can tell that these drinks are prepared with care, the staff is composed and very attentive to drink specifics and requests. Drink taste is consistently rich every time I make my stop over. I would have photos, but I devour these drinks before I even get the chance to whip my phone out for a photo opportunity!

Always friendly and I just love coming in here. After a couple of times of ordering my drink with no sleeve and no lid they remembered every time after that. This is what makes a place great.
Attention to detail and remembering personal details of my order makes me feel welcomed and appreciated. Please support your local business and give this place a shot. Try a whole milk mocha and an everything bagel with cream cheese. It’s the best way to start your day :)

I stopped in here to get a Toasted Coconut Mocha after seeing a couple of my Unilocal friends post their pics of the same drink, it looked so good so I knew I had to try it.
The location is fairly easy to find, it is located on a small one way street and the parking is metered… or so at least they have meters, but at the time of my visit I did not put any money in the meter. I only mention this so that someone else doesn’t make the same mistake… FEED the METER so you don’t get a ticket.
The inside is a nice open space with a decent amount of seating, they even have outdoor seating. I did not go outside because at the time of my visit it was way too hot.
I was not greeted when I came in, but my interaction with the barista was friendly when he was taking my order. I ordered the Toasted Coconut Mocha, Java Chip Frapp and some other house Latte (hot) that they make that has Raspberry flavor that is so delicious.
The Toasted Coconut Mocha was really good. The mocha flavor was typical mocha flavor, nothing really stood out as far as the actual coffee flavor went. But that’s not why I got the drink, I wanted the toasted coconut. When I got my drink I noticed there was only a little bit of toasted coconut, so I asked for more. The guy gave me a strange look, but he obliged and I was thankful. The toasted coconut was such a treat and I was glad that I got extra. This is not your typical toasted coconut, it is like high quality, sugared toasted coconut… hard to explain really unless you try it. It had a slightly crunchy/​toasty texture and then the further you got down to the bottom of your drink it softened up like raw sweet coconut. The drink was good to sip and chew till the last drop.
The Java Chip wasn’t anything remarkable, it was plain and no frills. It was pretty much the Coconut Mocha sans coconut.
The Latte/​Mocha for which I am at a loss for words as to the name, was VERY delicious!!! Had I not been in desperate need of a cool beverage, I would have drank this one for myself. It was a hot beverage with cream and it was flavored with Raspberry. I am sure if you ask Devine Grind, they would be able to point you to the drink. The drink was the perfect balance of coffee/​sweet/​cream. The raspberry really put it over the top and made it really stand out as far as the flavor. It would be a perfect drink to sip in the winter time.
This shop also serves up baked goods, which I did not purchase during my visit. They have muffins, croissants, etc to compliment your beverage.
I would highly recommend this place and cant wait to return.
P. S. They have restrooms!!!

I come here every weekend and every weekend I get phenomenal service, delicious food and refreshing beverages.
I come here for the Sausage, egg and cheese croissant… so yummy, hearty and flaky!
Also the iced coffee with their coffee ice hits the spot.
The pastries are so good! Especially the cinnamon danish, mmmmmm.
The music playlist is so soothing and I often get to hum my favorite throwback tunes.
The best thing about this place is the family that runs it.
They remember my name time and time again and I myself feel like i’m one of their children.
I cannot stop coming here, I will always be devoted to this spot, it’s my favorite neighborhood coffee shop.

Their toasted Coconut Mocha lived up to the hype! I’ve had this Café bookmarked for awhile now (Thanks to my reliable Unilocalers!), and I’m glad I finally got to try it out. We were greeted right away and the folks that were working there Sunday morning were very friendly. BF & I decided to chill at their patio while waiting for our order which was brought out fairly quickly.
Our GPS directed us to the right location, even though it said it was on the opposite side of the street. That wasn’t a problem at all since it was clear which side of the street the café was on (very close to the VTA Light Rail). Parking was easy peezy on Sunday morning as well. 25−75cents/30 min (don’t quite recall).
They offer a variety of pastries, iced/​hot coffee, blended, fruit smoothies, and more! I’m sure I saw Coconut Thai Tea & Blended Green Tea on their menu as well. Something for everyone! I’d highly recommend checking out Devine Grind on Devine Street right in the heart of Downtown San Jose.

They have some great mocha choices. I like that they give sit downs nice mugs that help cut down on café bar trash. Folks at the counter are super nice.
Location is hidden, but it is 1 block North of St James Park where the 1^st St. light rail curves on Devine and 2^nd St. Parking is a pain. Wish they would reserve a couple of spots next door (30 min Devine Parking). They should create some funky sidewalk sandwich boards to put at 2^nd & Julian and Market & Devine proclaiming coffee! It’s a nice alternative to Starbucks with only B2 and Philz downtown.
Store needs a resident artist showcasing their work, a community board, individually decorated tables (like Chromatic) to give regulars a favorite table, greenery and fountain on the patio.
Giving a clipper pass discount would encourage more light rail tech workers to hop off and back on here. Also post the WiFi password!

Their blended mochas are addictive! Though each of their employees seems to make them differently…

I visit this regurlarly im new to this area n luv coffee n pastries, so considering i regularly come, i secrey prayed it b ok to possibly owe 25 cents or so, as i was having such a problem with my debit card… the man was understanding and TerrIbly slow… but when i later requested hot water, the woman voiced loudly how i had not purchased a full cup n all i could think was wow…
Foods great tho and coffee is devine, so i guess i have no choice but to return. but the service can def use improvement…

Great little coffee shop in downtown SJ; relaxing, convenient & quick when you order. My only suggestion would be more food choices for the AM crowds, awesome place! **dog friendly**

The café’s name, Devine Grind, reflects perfectly on the place from all aspects. The café is located close the VTA Light Rail stops, making it very convenient for the environmentally conscious. The café doesn’t have much character, but it’s kept clean including the restroom. It does have an outside patio to enjoy a cup of java in the sun. There’s a few tables to sit at and spread your electronics on. If you enjoy working at a café and need internet access, this is your spot. I love the free wifi here, it’s blazing fast, no kidding, it’s surprisingly speedy and makes other café wifi connections feel like dial up from a decade ago. There’s cafés closer to my house, but this is one of the reasons I come here.
As far as their coffee, it devine for sure. They offer freshly brewed coffee, espressos, smoothies, assorted pastries and sandwiches, and seasonal flavored lattes. They also serve some tasty Italian sodas. The coffee is always fresh with a nice dark roast flavor and never bitter. I typically enjoy a cup of Americano and on occasion the coconut mocha, which is delicious and hard to find. I’ve had their pastries and they are quite tasty including the breakfast sandwiches, which are always served on porcelain plates.
The owners are super sweet and very customer service mindful and appreciative. Always in good spirits, which has a reflection on the customers like me, always makes me smile. It’s definitely a stark contrast to most Starbucks where teenage employees could careless about me. Definitely the place to get some work done with a tasty beverage.

²⁄₅: I’m downgrading my rating for the blended toasted coconut mocha:
Getting the right mix of ingredients is apparently very difficult; One time it was great, but another time it was way too sweet: I had to ask for it be done over again, and then it still didn’t come out good. So I can’t recommend it.
Free WiFi.

I had my first visit to Devine Grind today. I was so upset when I left. I cannot believe I’ve been driving by this place on my way to SJSU at least 5 times a week for the past 2 years without ever stopping to get coffee here. Found this place on Unilocal and everybody seemed to really like the Toasted Coconut Mocha. I got the drink blended because it was hot today. I was amazed when I took my first sip. Loved the flavors and how it was perfectly blended and not icy. I can’t wait to come back and try the other drinks.
The patio area is really nice and not too noisy, given that cars are constantly driving by. The parking lot across the street is free. They have some good looking pastries too.
I wish they had flashing neon lights with arrows pointed at the café so that people would notice it and check it out. This is a great place to get some good coffee.
