It’s A Grind Coffee House

No more crushed ice uuugghhh… slacking! It really does make a difference in your coffee. Go ahead call me crazy, but this kinda pulls your business away from other coffee shops.

You bet it’s a grind. Mostly for the inconsiderate, unkind, pathetic people who work here. Playing music that only they want to hear. Excuse me for living. Wow.

I don’t drink straight black coffee so this review is mostly for their blended and specialty drinks. The CHOCOLATE LOVERS blended drink is to die for! So chocolatey and tasty. I also love their WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE– it’s perfectly sweet and creamy. I love this place! My only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey for a blended drink but I know that’s how they stay competitive. Definitely try their hot chocolates and blended drinks! Nice owners too.

Coffee is not all that great. I rather take the extra 5 mins and drive down to Starbucks. The service can be very slow most of the time, so can grab and go typically is difficult to do. Prices are reasonable, but again, for the price and time, I rather go down the street to Starbucks and get better tasting food and drink.

I am back here once again. Still great coffee. Just has a new name. But, still the same people. That’s what this place said on their Facebook page.
Yes, I would absolutely recommend this place over Starbucks anytime.

I liked this place because it was on my way to work and I love that vanilla blend coffee they roast. Recently went in got a coffee and bagel. As usual I asked the girl making the coffee if she had soy milk I could pour over my coffee a, top off. Before saying anything to me she walks over to the girl on reg and speaks with her then walks back over and says SOY IS 70 CENTS EXTRA SO GO PAY HER AT THE FRONT. Calm down passive aggressive! Holy fuck I just wanted some soy… waited for my bagel which was really not toasted at all (for the amount of time I waited). Totally rude and soft bagel (sad face). I will not be returning.

This place has pretty much everything you want from a coffee/​sandwich shop. Free WiFi, good sandwiches, good coffee, big comfortable chairs, and a place to plug in your laptop. I’ve brought people here dozens of times over the last three years and never regretted it.
Why not five stars? Because the coffee isn’t exceptional, and I can’t for the life of me remember any of the sandwiches. Both are good, neither are great. I will continue coming here, but for top-​notch coffee, look elsewhere.

One of my colleague recommded me the coffe from this coffee house; he comes here basically every day to get his coffee.
I tried their coffee and I liked it because they always make it fresh and hot. However, my fiancé tried their latte once and he said that it was horrible, tasted like the latte had been sitting there for over 24hrs before giving it to him.
They also serve sandwiches and salads, I’ve never tried their salad but I did tried some of their turkey sandwiches, it was alright, nothing impressive.

Oh yes, now I remember why I love this place! Sick of the same ol’ coffee and cant find a seat to chill? Come to Its a grind! I came here the other day and saw a poster in the window for some caramel drink (I forgot what it was called arghh!!!) But it was d-​lish! I also got a toasted bagel with cream cheese already on it, no mess! They also have a frozen pumpkin walnut, I’ve got to try that next!
Theres hardly ever a line. And when there is, your maybe the third one. I also love the décor. They have a bunch of old man chairs with claw feet or leather. Its fairly quiet as well. Usually one small group of guys from a nearby business discussing something I could care less to hear, easy to tune out :)

I guess I would describe this place as… whimsical?
As you may be aware, this is a chain, but one that pops up in the randomest places (first encountered it in the OC). This one definitely has its own character, largely because they’ve (recently, it seems) begun selling paneer, samosas, and other Indian fare, along with several different sandwiches and some breakfast stuff. All of this food is very clearly tacked on to the standard menu.
I tried a veggie sandwich (the «health nut») with sprouts and raisins among other things, and it was tasty enough but perhaps could have used more veggies on it, at least at the price (as it was, it was a decent but slightly overpriced snack).
Yet, I still have a positive impression of this place, mostly because of the atmosphere: nice seating and large windows (tired of these dark coffee joints with unpleasant metal chairs). If I was back in that area for some reason, I would probably try the samosas. Hey, you never know. I also want to remark that I found the people there friendly and quick enough, but it was not at all a busy time for them.

Easy to avoid and that’s what I’ll do. Only post this to help other Unilocalers from getting ensnared.
Walked in after lunch at next door Ladda Thai and both the barista gal and counter help dude were busy ignoring customers. Owner/​manager and another person walks behind counter and also ignores customers at front. Huh? Guess it’s a grind to work here.
Between the lack of customer service and the weird vibe of the place I can honestly say that I’d take your $ and caffeine addiction elsewhere. Feel sorry for the Qualcomm and Sony employees that work here and put up with this place.

So happy I decided to stop by and try this place. I wasn’t sure on what to get and thought I’d try their new advertised drink. The two girls working that day were helpful when I had questions.
Hawaiian Sea Salted Caramel Crush — Love it! Love the hint of salt in my coffee, who knew!!! The drink was a little too sweet for my taste, so if you don’t like overly sweet drinks tell them less sweet or hold off on the cream. You need to try this drink!
I wish they had a location closer to where I live. I will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area.

Very nice service. The opened 10 minutes early instead of letting us stand out in the cold. Great cappuccino.

An alternative to the evil empire (starbucks) The staff is friendly and the snacks and sandwich selection is great. I liked their hazlenut latte over starbucks. Also the staff is friendly and helpful.

Service — a bit slow.
Toffee hazelnut crush — Super Delicious. Sweet. Just like me =p

I enjoy the triple chocolate mocha! It’s a blend of milk chocolate, real Ghirardelli white chocolate, and rich dark chocolate in a cup. This drink form never fails to satisfy my chocolate cravings. I also like the blended white mocha which they mix with coffee, which is not so chocolate-​ty and a little more coffee-​ish. It’s a Grind is a great alternative to the gazillion # of Starbucks you see everywhere, especially on a hot summer day.
*Closed on weeekends.

This place makes some great sugary buzz drinks. however I am a sucker for that raspberry white chocolate cookie they have that totally kills any healthy eating…
Like other It’s a Grind locations… clean bathroom and a small place to get away for a minute before going back to the grind. aka working on my laptop on a weekend because there are not enough hours in the day to finish all of the «parking lot issues» at work.
Cheers!

I don’t understand coffee shops that have self-​serve carafes for their drinks. I’m paying way too much for weak, watered down coffee.
The Nutty Cow (a hazelnut drink) is why I come here, though. It’s not very sweet, which is a nice surprise. The cookies are always dry.

I guess I am not an avid coffee or like beverages drinker, but I was not impressed by this place.
Drinks? It’s good and all, but at a cost beyond money
You could easily consume nearly 800 calories on one drink! Yes it is your choice for what you order, but their «light» menu only consisted of all 4 – 5 items.
Lounge? Going for an antique theme, but it’s just old.
The chairs were torn and caving in. It had a musty smell. I was hesitant on even sitting there.
Service? Did he really work there?
It was my first time there, so I was asking him a few questions about the beverages but he was more confused than I was.
No go for me guys.

I generally like all the It’s A Grind locales. They have a pretty solid spiced chai tea and they have some comfy furniture for lounging in. This spot is fairly quiet as it’s surrounded by tech industrial offices. There’s a common patio area outside if the weather is nice, otherwise it’s probably a better caffeine to go type venue.
