Blended white chocolate mocha cold brew with caramel drizzle.
Jessica S.

I was recommended here by a friend and came on a Sunday and the drive thru line was insane. It like wrapped around. So I parked thinking I could go in but the inside was closed. Not sure if it's every Sunday or just that day. I was sad to leave and not get to try. I came back today a Friday morning and the line was just as long. I opted to go in and so glad I did. I ordered the white chocolate mocha blended cold brew with caramel drizzle and it was so good! Now I understand the long lines! They have so many good drink and food options to select from. The inside is so cute and so perfect to catch up with a friend or on work emails or just relax and enjoy a coffee. The workers were friendly and fast. I waited maybe 5 minutes for my drink. The inside was pretty busy as well. This is definitely somewhere I plan to come back to again.

iced red velvet mocha

i love this coffee shop, out of all the times i've gone i've never been disappointed, and the workers are always very kind. They have a great working environment, and have comfortable seating options, they overall just have a very cute and cozy vibe, and also sell merch if your interested in that. The drinks are amazing and to die for, the red velvet iced mocha is amazing and has a perfect balance of flavors. they also have very tasty food options and their grilled cheese is amazing, it has the perfect amount of cheese and overall just an amazing flavor, i would 1000% recommend this place any day:)

This is probably my 3/4th visit. Every single drink I've gotten from here never disappoints. From the banana espresso, to the chocolate shake, mochas and the cookie butter chai I had today - so good! And the service is always pleasant, so far always friendly ! The food is very good too, have no complaints. I will say the sausage in the breakfast sandwich is too sweet. But the steak Sammy's are very good! This place is definitely chill vibes! Would definitely come here again and again! (Especially love the drive thru!)

I don't even know where to begin, everything we ordered was top-notch. Every single coffee and dish was amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back. The seasonal menu was incredible, and honestly, I wish I could give more than five stars. And the tater tots? Absolute fire. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area, don't sleep on this place!

Two girls clearly that didn't go through the drive through to get their food or drinks... but yet I was told Only drive through way open..

Came on Mother's Day.... Because I was really Looking forward to grabbing some coffee on my day... I guess they didn't have the inside open only drive way... tried to come inside to order a drink because I didn't know but I guess they weren't open inside... I seen two people outside so I didn't think there were close.. the lady seemed to have gotten drinks for these people who were clearly not in the drive through either... the lady sees that I clearly got dropped off with my daughter but yet seemed to have gotten a drink for these people... (as we walked up she was taking there order) so that's why we proceeded to walk up because the lady was taking there order... the lady didn't even apologized or say anything to me... she has black hair and her hair in a bun.. she comes to give the people there drinks and food BUT WERE CLEARLY NOT IN THE DRIVE THROUGH LIKE SHE TOLD ME.... Super sad because it's Mother's Day and the worked clearly didn't care at all to even say sorry Used to love this place but after this never AGAIN. My daughter made a comment about it being open inside because she saw the worker bring two girls there food and drinks.. she just gives my daughter a really mean look instead of just saying I'm so sorry... obviously there was an exception for these people but not everybody... so sad the way the worker talked us and looked at my daughter Used to love this place but never again... She could have easily explained the situation to us but clearly was annoyed that we tried to walk in Sunday - (DT Only) but clearly you see the people with there food and drinks also this was around 12:30 pm on Sunday

I was looking for a new drive-thru coffee spot and was lucky enough to find this gem pretty close to me. Not only do they have tons of delicious hot and iced drink options, but they also carry the best selection of breakfast and lunch items as well. Everything i've had here so far has been absolutely delicious and I can't help but tell everyone I know about this place. The inside dining is spacious and very modern. The service is always quick as possible and friendly. If you like bold flavors, i'd recommend the BLTA chipotle bagel sammy. Best sandwich i've ever had, hands down. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you choose though. The drive-thru/parking lot situation can be tough on a busy day, since it's tucked in a small corner right off the freeway but it's more than worth it. Don't forget to ask for a punch card to earn free drinks!

Dirty Harry Latte
Michael N.

Stopped by Gladly Coffee--not really a big coffee guy, but this place surprised me. The Chimichurri steak sandwich was the highlight. Really solid--great flavor, good portion, and cooked right. Stopped by here to get my Grill coffee, did not expect the food to be filling, but it was. Tried the Dirty Harry Latte even though coffee's not really my thing, and it was actually pretty good. Service was great. Overall, came for a quick bite and ended up impressed. Definitely worth it, especially for the food.

btl bagel & peanut butter iced latte.
Ileana G.

Steak Sandwich & Peanut Butter Latte.
Cheryl R.

I've lived here 10 years & just discovered Gladly Coffee. The steak sandwich was divine! The Peanut butter Latte was a PB lovers dream! 10/10!

Breakfast Jack Bagel Sammy from Gladly Coffee
Brett P.

My absolute favorite coffee shop! The Dirty Harry shaken espresso is literally the best iced coffee drink I've ever had. It's strong and rich and just perfect. Also, the Breakfast Jack Bagel Sammy will make any sad day a happy one. It's amazing. Definitely try this place if you haven't before!

Cynthia M.

Didn't get the chance to take a picture of our drinks but we opted for the two most popular: the Peanut Butter latte and the Dirty Harry latte. The peanut butter latte has a very strong flavor and was my favorite out of the two, the Dirty Harry was very rich in flavor and a bit too sweet for my taste. This coffee shop has a drive through that was packed so we ordered inside and they also had a line but it moved quickly. Staff was very friendly despite being busy,the was loud atmosphere but that was to be expected due to the amount of customers for a Saturday morning. Will be back for that peanut butter latte again!

Outside drive-thru
Deyanira P.

I've been driving this drive-thru for the past 3 years now. I no longer live near this location but I still make my way there (that should tell you something!). It has been a drive-thru since I remember but officially, this year you can walk in and order! My favorites (in this order) 1. Spicy Jack 2. Dirty Harry Shaken Espresso (1/2 sweet) 3. Bees Knees Latte 4. Cheese Danish (better than Starbucks - way cheaper and wayyyy more cheese in the middle) 5. Oatmeal with berries and almond butter As you can see, they have a very extensive menu. You can literally order breakfast, lunch and dinner from here. They also have non-caffeine options such as smoothies. The vibes are chill inside. You see a wide range of ages, from teens to older adults. The inside renovations are pretty planty-modern and they also have outdoor seating. Service is quick and always friendly. I've never had an issue with my order and its always done the same exact way. Highly recommend!! It's like a hidden gem.

Just tried Gladly Coffee and it absolutely delivered. The Chimichurri steak sandwich was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, juicy, and balanced with that fresh, herby kick. And the Dirty Harry Latte? Easily one of the best specialty lattes I've had, rich, bold, and just the right amount of indulgent. Great food, great coffee, and an all-around solid experience. Definitely coming back.

Pumpkin chai. Love my seasonal drinks and this did it for me.

Any update on the opening date?

I don't think there is one, it's just hang on in the meantime. I'm sure they'll toss one out.

Is the inside close to being open yet? Hating the drive thru situation since someone always seems to cut me. TY ☺️

A few bites into my half, I noticed mold on the side of my sandwich. By that point, she had already eaten about half of hers. I called immediately. After several holds and back-and-forth, I was told they couldn't refund a single item, and that the owner said I could drive back to pick up cash. I explained I was at work and moving to Temecula in two days. I wasn't rude, I was patient through every hold. I've worked in food service. If this ever happened where I worked, we would have refunded the entire order and done whatever it took to make it simple for the customer. The owner offered to drive the cash to my house, which I declined, I didn't want a stranger at my door, and honestly, it wasn't about the money. My pregnant wife ate moldy food. Not once did anyone ask if she was okay or acknowledge that this was a health concern. I never received a refund. I just expected basic accountability, apparently that was too much to ask.

They have everything from hot sandwiches and cold sandwiches to salads, wraps, and even breakfast items. You can order at the counter or on the kiosk. I ordered on the kiosk. Simple and quick. I ordered the wild-caught salmon sandwich with salmon, arugula, and garlic aioli. The salmon was cooked perfectly. They were a little skimpy on the aioli, so the sandwich was kind of dry, but it was still good. I also got a side of fries, and those shoestring fries were nice and crispy. Prices are reasonable, and there's seating both inside and outside. Shout out to Crystal. I don't know if she's the manager, but she definitely cares about quality customer service. Someone ordered the Green Beret sandwich, and it was brought out on toasted bread when apparently it wasn't supposed to be. She immediately went to the counter and let the cooks know about it.

Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

But this has been the second time I've had an issue where the next person That gets handed what the sandwich actually is, isn't listening! I had to tell the girl multiple times while she's busy cutting avocados instead of just taking a minute to say, can you give me a second and having me repeat myself! And then I told her after she asked, anything else, I said, can I just can I get pepper? She gives me salt and I look at her and I said I didn't want salt. She said, do you want me to take it off? How are you supposed to take salt off a sandwich when one you cannot see it? Instead of just listening like when I'm speaking to you your too busy doing other things because you wanna be quick. You put salt on the sandwich when I asked for pepper. Those are not the same things. Their employees need to do a better job at focusing on what the customer is saying, versus doing 20 other things. I don't care about you taking longer to make my sandwich.What I care about is me not having to repeat myself three times because you are not listening. She asked me multiple times too. If I wanted anything else needed anything else? Well, I can't even get you to put pepper on my sandwich. And you expect me to believe that you're going to make my order correctly. What if I was someone cant have added salt or high cholesterol. Now, food has been wasted and I'd have to wait longer all because staff can't just slow down and listen to the customer. They also make no eye contact.They don't speak.They just pass the sandwich from person to person.I just feels very impersonal, and like you're just trying to make me a sandwich and get me out of there, and then your the machine wants to ask me to tip. What am I tipping for when i'm not even getting good customer service.
