Americano Coffee service the European way
Gregory B.

Small interesting coffee shop off Warner in Gilbert. Almost impossible to see from road. Turn on S Islands drive and it's right there. Indoor seating and a couple outdoor tables in the shade. In my humble opinion, their Americano is best I've had in Phoenix. Never bitter, robust and slightly sweet. Different baristas so it must be the beans and how the shots are pulled. There is usually only 1 person working here and the take great care in making the drinks, so you might have a little wait if there are a couple people ahead of you, but worth it.

I started visiting GrindTime a few months ago and every single time I have had a wonderful experience. Olivia and Mark are fantastic and honestly everyone that works is. It's a small coffee shop but the coffee is incredible. They also have some yummy muffins (I'm currently obsessed with their banana bread muffin). They also sell some cool stickers, post cards, and other items. They use the space wisely (good seating but not overcrowded). Just note that outlets are a bit scarce so make sure you come fully charged. They have a car meet once a month - I haven't personally been but I'm interested in checking out soon. Definitely a gem

chagaccino and donut

My husband and I are early risers and when visiting my sister in Gilbert this is one of the few coffee shops open at 6am. I tried their chagaccino (a cappuccino with chaga mushroom powder). It was pretty good and I was happy to try something new!

Decent coffee spot in Gilbert! Friendly staff, super clean space, great prices. The flavor of the coffee was a little lacking in both of our drinks but we enjoyed them for the most part. The most important shoutout is the pricing of the coffee. Extremely affordable compared to other craft coffee spots and even places like Starbucks. Love supporting local coffee and was happy to stumble into GrindTime.

I was in the area and love looking for local coffee shops (not the chain places), and this popped up as the best coffee in Gilbert, so I had to stop by. I don't do coffee, but I was grateful they had at least a chai latte on the menu so I could try something. The shop is quaint and quiet with a few tables and a little couch area with some books. Great place to sit and read or work while sipping your hot beverage. The tea came out quickly and looked and tastes great. The two workers in the shop were extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely stop by if you're in the neighborhood! Support local!

Great coffee! I've visited GrindTime Coffee twice now and the latte has been consistently delicious. I always order a honey cinnamon oat milk latte and it's always done right. I also like that they offer a unique plant-based milk option, Mylk, which I have never seen anywhere else. It tasted amazing. Although the space is small, there is ample indoor seating. It's also a good place for working as they have strong wifi. The staff is helpful and friendly. In addition to their coffee, they also feature and sell local art and jewelry, making it a great community spot!

Convenient coffee spot located at a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. There's tons of seating inside the coffee shop itself and it seems as though they really take their coffee game seriously. I ordered myself their Chagaccino my first visit here and I'd say it was not only delicious but also very strong, flavorful coffee. Tasted like Vietnamese coffee to be honest. There's a lot of nice local artwork sold inside the shop as well.

First time stopping by GrindTime and it did not disappoint! Each cup of coffee was delicious and carefully curated by the baristas. Just look at that latte art! The shop is cozy and offers a great selection of Arizona stickers if you are looking for a cute souvenir!

Was on a walk with my friend and we caught this place out of the corner of our eyes and had to stop in! Tucked away in the corner of the plaza, this cute & coffee shop is the perfect place to meet up with a friend or hang out. I loved that they had a little free library where you can bring or take books. The barista was friendly and the drinks turned out good.

Chagaccino

Great service and delicious coffee! I ordered the Chagaccino to try something new and it didn't disappoint! Yummy coffee and not too sweet, so perfect for me. And the banana muffin was AMAZING but ate it before I took a pic!! Would definitely recommend! Side note, I also loved the artwork displayed.

This is a nice lil cafe along Warner and S Mcqueen if you're looking to find another spot in the East Valley for good coffee. Parking is easy to find, and I love how there's plenty of seating indoors. Guest wifi is available for customers, and the environment of the shop is quiet, which makes it a perfect spot for studying or working! I like how they have a selection of regular and seasonal syrups, and you can also get pastries/sweet treats with your drink. I got the latte with oat milk and blood orange mocha syrup, which came out very quickly. I liked the flavor of the syrup, though I might ask for a little less next time around since I like my drinks less sweet. Overall, it's a nice place to just sit and work on your laptop. I love swinging by every now and then when I'm in Gilbert!

They did not have much to eat on a weekday other than a simple pastry or a top level of scone. It was easily one of the best scones I've had in the valley - most taste way too sweet and are not crumbly, but this was a perfect dry, crumbly, more of a traditional scone with addition of some small chocolate chips. You might find it a little bit hard to get to, but don't be discouraged, right off of William Dillard Drive... you're gonna see a church campus on the right hand side, there may or may not be a sign out there about the coffee shop, but go ahead and pull up to the campus and make a left-hand turn and follow it all the way to kind of the north... And you will see the coffee shop. It has huge windows, and garage windows. You can sit inside or outside. With summer coming I'm sure that those will be shut in the air conditioning will be running in my understanding is that they have more food on the weekends. If you have children that have some extra energy and you would love to enjoy your coffee why they kind of tumble around, outside, this is definitely the place to go. I have a friend with a one year-old and he wants to walk and move around, he's getting hard to contain for our weekly quiet coffee. I told her we drive over to the church campus to enjoy a high quality coffee prepared well

I ordered a Caramel Macchiato, my absolute favorite, and as always, it was perfectly balanced and delicious. The shop is open from Sunday to Wednesday but closes Thursday to Saturday due to church events. It's also a popular venue for weddings and large gatherings. If you're looking for a cozy spot for a special occasion or just a peaceful coffee break, this place is definitely worth checking out. As for me, I know I'll be back again soon!

Transparency for the cost of food items was lacking, there was no prices listed for the bakery items. The Robin with oatmilk was okay, the coffee taste itself was pretty good, but I couldn't taste any of the infused lavendar flavor at all in the drink.

However, the flavor was pretty damn good. They also aren't stingy with the filling. The latte was a good size for a 16 oz. It was the perfect sweetness, too! The staff was quick and friendly. Prices aren't astronomical so I would definitely return. There's a huge parking lot outside so that would never be an issue. Stop in and experience Little Jupiter Cafe for yourself!

Not only did we get sweet treats, but we also learned what a tanuki is. You can, too, if you check out my pictures.
