I was in the area and wanted to try a new coffee spot. It's a little trailer but they post the address of where they are at. I loved that they have very unique drinks and the drinks are visually very pretty. My husband ordered an horchata latte and I ordered the churro latte . The lady who was making the drinks was very accommodating because I told her I needed a sweet drink. They were delicious and very refreshing. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area.

The owner is such a beautiful person kind sweet great personality . Beautiful family I've been going to get coffee since they open the trailer shop. Even drove all the way to Lodi to go get coffee when she had her shop there. The workers there she had there were politel sweet great personality also. And I will continue to go everywhere.She goes lol She has the best coffee in town.That's just my personal opinion. The one thing I love is that she has a lot of sugar free stuff . She has all kinds of different drinks. And if you're lucky enough to go when she has clam chowder it is so good homemade Me and my girls are hooked on everything

Super sweet ! I've tried Her sugar free churro Latte I can recommend it to any of my friends . 100 percent worth it in my books . I'm a daily at Starbucks but I'll skip them any time to get her coffee , it's strong and very delicious . She has various of flavors and i can only imagine the taste .

I have been going here for years! One of my go-to coffee spots. My favorite drinks are the iced Angkor macchiato or the iced salted caramel white mocha. My son's favorite is the blended jolly rancher lemonade.

In a world where customer service and true connection to people is lacking, Alicia does an amazing job at making you feel welcome while ensuring you are satisfied with your purchase. I've truly enjoyed watching her work with her little family. Her children are so well mannered and they are gaining amazing life skills while hanging out with mom. Every drink we've had has been delicious and she has even gone above and beyond to make sure there is something everyone in our family can enjoy. We look forward to being customers for many years to come.

Doña cuca is my favorite along with the pumpkin Horchata is also a favorite

Amazing coffee and the customer service is always great so welcoming and she always has drinks ready quick when ordering. I would recommend her to everyone! I love grinding grounds and it's my go to on the weekends.

Grinding Grounds is seriously one of the best coffees I've ever had the taste is just AMAZING! I happily drive 20 minutes just to get my iced coffee because it's truly that delicious . And I have to mention the owner, Alicia she is super sweet and incredible. She always greets you with the biggest smile, and you can genuinely tell she's thankful for every customer. Thank you for always making me feel so welcomed.

I enjoy the variety of drinks offered here and the customer service from Alicia and her family is always superb. The cajeta latte is my favorite hot or iced. The pastries offered are great too. I've had the pan dulce and banana bread. If you're looking for a new coffee place to try look no further.

You can't really see the full latte because it was so tasty I slurped up half of it so quickly! Grinding grounds is a great coffee spot for a strong, sweet flavored caffeinated drink. Service was helpful, quick and accommodating. Latte was sweet like I like it with the extra caffeine boost I needed! read more

My children and I truly cherish our Saturday mornings at Grinding Grounds. We look forward to it each week, and we genuinely feel its absence on the rare days it's closed. The service is consistently warm, and the drinks are exceptional -- so much so that I often order multiple each visit because they're simply that delicious. I wholeheartedly choose to support Alicia over any large corporation. Every cup she makes reflects care, passion, and genuine love for her craft. Beyond being an incredibly talented barista, she is a beautiful person inside and out. Knowing the challenges she and her family are facing makes supporting this local business even more meaningful. We gladly drive 13 minutes just to enjoy her coffee. It's more than a drink -- it's an experience filled with heart, community, and authenticity. read more

My absolute favorite coffee around the Stockton area! So much better than Starbucks or Dutch bros. The quality of coffee is top notch, the drinks are so original and taste great! The owners are sweet people and remember their frequent customers! The service is always quick and friendly! They offer coffees, smoothies, lemonades, and energy drink options for their custom drinks! They also have goodies they sell from a local vendor too. You can catch them around Stockton, their location is posted every week on their Instagram. Sometimes they make an appearance in Tracy or local events going on. They also have a Lodi store front. I am a frequent customer and rave about this place to everyone I know! If you are a coffee lover check them out! I recommend the Takuache or the Dirty Fresa! read more

I don't know how my niece found this place, but she highly recommended this. I drove here from Elk Grove to try it and wow, now I know why she was raving about it. Soooo sooo goood! Ordered the Horchata Latte and the Strawberry Horchata and both exceeded my expectations. The strawberry horchata is quite refreshing and horchata latte gives you a caffeine kick. I believe they're open until 2 and they're usually in front of the Alegria Meat Market on Filbert St or at the WaterFront. They're on social media so you can follow them to see where they are at for the day. The owner's are really nice. Great service and coffee. read more

I was looking for a local, POC owned coffee shop in the area and found this gem. The easiest way to track down their location is through their IG: grinding.grounds and today they were at Victor Park. I ordered the soy latte (hot) and it's not too sweet and well rounded. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their chai latte and their speciality drinks! The service was very friendly and attentive too. They made my order iced at first but when I told them I wanted it hot, they remade it and offered to give me the iced latte as well. Definitely give this place a try! read more

It took me too long to go out and try this place! Their Instagram page is so tempting and they always share pictures of their coffee and pastries. **To get up to date schedule follow them in Instagram!! I ordered: puerquito latte chocolate chip cookie Coffee crumb muffin Puerquito latte is a piloncillo and gingerbread spice latte with whip cream and cajeta drizzle. This sounds like a very sweet drink that would mask the flavor of the coffee but OH BOY was this flavorful!! This is NOT overly sweet. The piloncillo (unprocessed cane sugar not the same as brown sugar but is similar in taste) gives this drink a tad of sweetness and the gingerbread flavor is there with cinnamon and nutmeg accents. Honestly, I was so surprised that I could still taste the coffee in this drink. The other flavors pair really well with the coffee instead of hiding the bitterness of the coffee. Well done guys!! Onto the sweets, I know they're baked by a local baker who uses farm fresh and high quality ingredients. Baked by BakeandTake209 (more info on Instagram). The chocolate chip cookie is BIG! I don't know how they do it to keep the cookie soft and chewy while making it so big! LOVED all the chocolate chips! The coffee cake muffin was very moist and smelled like cinnamon! Amazing yummy cinnamon. read more

It was very filling (I couldn't finish it) so I barely had room to try the 2 tacos I ordered, but I managed to sneak a couple bites in, and they were really good too! They make their tortillas fresh and they have a sign that says "fresh food not fast food" although my food didn't take too long to make...they also have a salsa bar with plenty of salsa and vege toppings. The taco truck is located next to a Mexican iced cream shop. And the young kid working there was the sweetest, he walked me through their menu with such great enthusiasm, it was very refreshing! I got my food to go, but he said I could eat inside the cute ice cream shop. I'll do that the next time I'm back in town for sure!

Only thing I can say is the parking situation can be tricky at Stocklandia, I prefer to visit Stocklandia on the weekends so I can get parking easier. During the week all the local businesses are open and I usually have to park about two blocks away and then walk back. Not Rolling Lumpia's fault, but trust me they are worth the walk!

Place Description: There is plenty of space for you to work on your personal projects such as work, school, business. The decoration gives a sense of being home. There are different setting within the coffee place such as small couches for you to have a nice private conversation. There is a couch by a window in case you feel like grabbing coffee and bringing a book with you. There is a patio area in which you can enjoy the sun, fresh air, and delicious food. Ambiance: The ambiance music is always on point. Always clean and not loud. Food & Coffee: Our personal favorite in regards to food is the breakfast burritos and the burgers. The coffee is always fresh and the specially the seasonal drinks are innovative and elegant. Staff / Baristas: The baristas and the cooks are friendly and approachable 100% of the time. They go the extra mile to make sure your experience here is comfortable and enjoyable. They seem like a family and it reflects in their work ethic and the coffee shop environment.

The morning I went, there was a long line to get to coffee, but it did move relatively quickly. The coffee was good & so was the baked good I got. Service at the counter was good as well. Check out this place and support local coffee shops :)

But still good after a long day as well--the bread does not get hard. The #24 rice plate with everything on it is a must try. It's only a dollar more than the other plates.

As for the meats, your basic ham and turkey with American cheese, tomatoes, Jalapeños (it kicked in quick!) and lettuce, smeared with mayo. For $5.50 plus tax, I didn't expect a wow factor of a sandwich. Next time, I will order something different. I did enjoy the simplicity of the taste.

Maybe the store and branch into other pastries like ensaymadas which probably can be made with the same dough recipe. The senorita bread is soft and fluffy and not too sweet.
