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

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. read more

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. 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

History

Established in 2019.

Grinding Grounds started with an idea in 2018 and a dream to create something different. When opening a bar wasn’t in the budget, I took the dream in a new direction—coffee on wheels. Inspired by my culture, childhood favorites, and a love for bringing people together, I created unique drinks that turn familiar flavors and nostalgic candies into something you can sip and enjoy. Since 2019, Grinding Grounds has been proudly serving Stockton with handcrafted coffee, creative flavors, and a little piece of our culture in every cup. Come get your fix and thank you for grinding with us!

I don't know if it's worth the price, but definitely go try for yourself! I would recommend others to try it. They're a food truck, and take pre-orders, so hit them up ahead of time to skip the wait! The rice is not as full of flavor as I had hoped, but they have good sauces to compensate for that!

I got the veggie yakisoba, which was incredible! I also got the most expensive drink, (I think it was a strawberry mango or strawberry peach The Works). It was hella good and looks super cute! Customer service was the best i ever experienced from either a restaurant or a food truck! I dropped the drink (totally my fault) and they made me a new one on the house! And they even gave me a few drinks while I was waiting! I'm really bummed that this is my first time there, especially since the city is booting all the food trucks out the northern part of Pacific Ave ( restaurants be hatin). Hopefully they keep us posted in there IG. I definitely have to come back

The prob I have is there aren't any prices listed on the front of the truck like all other food trucks. I've come here twice to eat and have paid different prices. We had one order of chicken flautas with rice and beans. One ala carte order of flautas, one ala carte order of cheese enchiladas. No drinks. The total was 37$$$?? I could have went to a restaurant and sat down to eat for that price..They aren't bilingual which makes it tough to communicate.. not good for customer service.

Near a University so you typically get some students, teachers, and neighborhood locals. Depending on the time of day (normally lunchtime) Parking can is a major challenge. Look around the back of the plaza if the front is take up. But the most unique thing I like about this place is the way they make the coffee. Rather than syrups they use real ingredients, it make the taste of the coffee much much better. Don't believe me, try it, then go try Starbucks or a big chain.

This ended up in my favor, as I checked Yelp and saw a new coffee shop was opened right in my old neighborhood. It has great ratings, and I decided to stop in. The owner was working and he was super friendly. He explained the style of coffee with a specialty filtering process and a bit about the menu. He recommended a medium blend, and whipped me up a delightful coffee. I had never experienced this special filtering method but the coffee was smooth and well balanced. It was delightful. If I still lived nearby this place would be a regular stop. Clean, modern interior with nice bright windows, friendly staff, and excellent coffee. Definitely stop in and show this local business some love. The owner is really polite and has great products.

They have a little patio seating outside as well. I had the Caramel Macchiato and it tasted good. Not much interaction with the employees but it was pleasant.

Food: The food is awesome, they have paninis and breakfast sandwiches options. Coffee/Drinks: I have tried almost all of their coffee menu options and none of them have disappointed. Our favorite go-to drink is the Hot chocolate. They serve it in a ceramic mug when you ask for it, and it has a delicious, eye appealing appearance. Ambiance: since it is close to SJDC campus and UOP there often many students doing they school work, and group projects. Quite fun to spend time with people going after their careers and dreams. It can get loud at times, so if you don't mind the noise this is a great place to come and enjoy this place. Baristas/ staff: they are always nice and they go the extra mile to memorize your face and possibly your name. Weekends/ Late afternoons: there is a patio at the front of the coffee shop which has plenty of spa ce to have a seat and enjoy artist who are practicing and sharing their music and art talents. They arrive beer and the smell of smoke can get a little ov
