Helpful and welcoming staff. The coffee is quite strong but they offer adjustments if the drink is missing something. 10/10 would go again. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

Visited Stockton for the first time in a while and tried to go to my favorite coffee shop, which was now permanently closed. 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. read more

Mark was very helpful with coffee selection. Place is clean and has a very chill vibe. I would definitely recommend to check it out if you are in the area. read more

Amazing space and their drinks are really good! Came around 10:30am and there were only a couple of customers, so the wait time was less than 5 minutes. Only taking a star off simply because they didn't have the drink that I originally wanted, but I got to try their mango tea with agave, and it was really refreshing! Will definitely come back read more

My first time trying coffee that's not ur traditional espresso and milk. I told the gentleman up in the front that I usually get a vanilla latte so he recommended a vanilla cold brew I believe. It has a nutty flavor and a light roast coffee taste! Very different from what im used to and I think that's why I was not a big fan, but they have tons of flavors and I would recommend you guys try it out because it's something different! Decent sized shop with lots of tables, parking is street parking and they have a restroom. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

I'm always a fan of a local coffee shop and this one was conveniently located to meet up with some friends ahead of dinner. The cafe is open and welcoming with different types of seating that can accommodate single diners, small groups and even medium sized groups. It was bright inside and they had the WiFi password prominently displayed, which makes this feel like a great study or remote work space and they were open a bit later. They offer coffee, tea, and snacks and we purchased a tea and coffee and sat for a while to catch up. The drinks were delicious and the team here was really helpful in selecting the drinks. I'd love to spend more time here in the future and try more of the menu. read more

This is a quiet little gem. If you need a place to study or meet a small study group, this is a good location. I'm kind of hesitant to share because I love that this place isn't super busy when I've been, but they deserve your business. There's 5 small tables, a few window seats, a couch and coffee table, and a larger bench table. They also have free WiFi and a few plugs. They display local artists work on the walls and the place just has a cute vibe. The menu is specialty coffee and tea, so don't come looking for a white mocha (lol). All the flavors and extracts are natural, so no fake syrups! I ordered the Hammered and it had such a nice flavor of macadamia nuts. They also have a small selection of pastries and food. Check them out and show them some love. Support small businesses :) read more

I've tried a few different places for matcha in Stockton, but this has been my favorite. It's more on the expensive side but it's worth the natural ingredients without syrups. I ordered an iced matcha with strawberry, less sweet. Recommend! Also got a lavender matcha, and it was very subtle; didn't need to order less sweet. Also recommend! If you ask them to make the drink in your own container, they will. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Iced matcha with strawberry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

Had to try this place since it's 4.7 stars. Interior design is upscale kind of cafe. If you like organic coffee and tea this is the right place for it. Service is very friendly and fast. Loved my peach tea. Just right of sweetness for my taste. Then Ben's Fave is also delightful with its hint of hazelnut flavor. I guess we're coming back again when we're in the area. read more

Groundstack Coffee has a great vibe -- cozy space, nice decor, live-edge wood table, plants everywhere. The staff was genuinely impressive. The guy working asked if it was our first time, and when we said yes, he walked us through everything -- the specialty beans, the menu, all of it. Didn't expect that level of attention at a coffee shop. I got the Ben's Fave (hazelnut and dates) and an almond croissant, both solid. Only two downsides: $8.55 for a coffee is hard to swallow, and the restroom was dirty -- which doesn't fit the premium experience they're clearly going for. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

The sweetener part is misleading. It's not just nuts and fruits, they use actual sweeteners like monk fruit, brown sugar, etc. I knew there was no way my drink was that sweet from fruit and nuts alone. Service was okay, not the friendliest of barista who took our order. The girl though who called out our drinks was friendly and told us to taste it and if it needed any adjustments. super small iced coffee for the price. inside was calm and not loud. good place to study or catch up with a friend. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Sunset and Hammered (hot) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

Best coffee shop in Stockton, hands down. I always get Thorton's Thorns, it's literally perfect--The rich flavors from the perfectly brewed coffee and the natural ingredients, mixed with the perfect amount of sweetness make this drink a 10000/10. I don't live in the area anymore but when I visit Stockton this is the first place on my list. The employees are always so nice and willing to help you understand the menu and the process. I was also able to take my medium sized dog inside the cafe while waiting for my drink, which I truly appreciate. Free street parking is available all around the block; I haven't had any issues with finding a spot. The cafe is also spacious with plenty of seats and tables available. It also gets great natural lighting, which I love. It's just a cozy, down to earth coffee shop and I can't say enough good things about it. I look forward to my next visit as I write this review from out of town, wishing I had a Thorton's Thorn in hand. read more

I'm an avid coffee drinker. Coffee tastes great and the flavors and sweetness isn't your typical syrup, it's actual ingredients. You can tell it's a quality drink. They always ask if I need adjustments but so far I haven't needed any. My favorites are the Diablo and the It's March. The cold brews are pretty great too. Cute atmosphere. And the owner is really friendly and remembers you. It gives it a nice cozy small town vibe for Stockton. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Knowing I had to run an errand in Stockton, I did some research on coffee shops prior to landing on Groundstack Coffee. What sold me on coming here was that they use natural ingredients and steer away from artificial flavors. Located close to UOP, they have a small parking lot for several businesses. Late on a weekday morning, parking wasn't an issue the day I visited. Based on what tried, I think the cold brews are the highlight of the menu. While "Hooked on Wilson" was fine, I didn't really taste much lavender. (It was still a good drink though!) The Presidio was very refreshing, and I really enjoyed this drink since I love the taste of mint. Service was great. Upon discovering I was a new customer the menu was explained and recommendations were offered. I sat and drank my coffee for a short while. There were plenty of tables and chairs. As a side note, getting to restroom requires going through a couple doors and turning a few corners. Very glad I stopped by Groundstack! This great coffee place made my trek to Stockton (from Elk Grove) much more enjoyable. read more

Groundstack Coffee - Hanging out. Great atmosphere. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

I've been coming to Groundstack over the past few months to get my caffeine fix. Coffee here tastes way different than Starbucks. May take a bit longer but the quality and flavor is worth the wait. As if this writing, the shop has an app where you can order ahead so it's been a life saver for me in the mornings when I'm running late. Pershing it is my favorite drink and I've just recently tried the Thai tea. It's really good stuff. Chill vibes on the inside and kept nicely clean as well. Add this place to your coffee rotation because you won't regret it. read more

I'm in town for work. Looked up coffee places by the hotel and wanted something local. Eventually settled on Groundstack. I walked in and was immediately greeted by great customer service. They inquired if it was my first time in and proceeded to breakdown their process (aeropress) to me. Asked me for my typical preferred drink and then recommended their "version". I gave it a shot and simply , wow. DELICIOUS coffee. This place deserves 10 stars. read more

Dude told me the coffee didn't have much cream in it, then proceeded to hand me a cup full of cream and sugar . Ridiculously sweet, didn't even taste the coffee. I am just not a fan of sugary coffee, u might as well go to Starbucks, was 9$ too . Would give it 0 stars if I could Edit: neither of those things were done! No communication before nor after the order! Thanks read more

Groundstack is an easy recommendation, so give them a try! read more

I was looking to pick up coffee around Stockton and came across Groundstack Coffee. After reading impressive reviews on Yelp, decided to give it a try. Parking was super easy to find outside the coffee shop. It turned out to be one of the best coffees I have had - great cafe, chatted with the owner who recommended a few options. Tried Hanmered, and wow! Very impressive drink with macadamia and coconut flakes. The uniqueness is the french press is made fresh with flavors from real nuts, spices etc - you can actually taste it vs the syrups with loads of sugar. The cafe had good seating to get some work done. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

I love Groundstack's commitment to true ingredients and no syrups. The coffees always taste good; I've tried a few and really like Thornton's Thorns. Mark the owner is friendly and remembers your name and order. The place is pretty chill; the patrons there often strike up conversations as well, plus there's a little free library, some party games, and dogs allowed. This is my favorite coffee shop in Stockton. read more

Ground stack was a completely new concept for me. I've never been to a cafe or coffee shop that didn't have syrups and was basically all natural in flavor. They were super sweet and let us know if we need any adjustments to not hesitate and ask. I'm usually a person who loves sweet coffee but I tried a few drinks especially ben's fave iced latte and the lands end cold brew had such a good strong and prominent flavor. read more

I've been here 3x now so I feel that I now have a worthy enough opinion to give on this place. First of all the owner Mark is so incredibly kind and friendly. He is always welcoming and is easy to make conversation with! The first time I visited, was a rainy day and so a friend and I decided to order some hot drinks. I decided to get a typical London fog. I believe the barista (Andy?) was helping my friend try to make a decision but she eventually settled on a chai latte. After he made them I remember he mentioned to let him know if we needed any customization to our drinks i.e. extra agave/more milk. My friend ended up not enjoying her chai and asked if he could just make her another London fog. He was so understanding and made it promptly! The second time I visited was a hotter day and so a friend and I opted for iced drinks. Andy was there to help us make a decision. We ordered a peach mango refresher and mango seaside. I don't really love incredibly sweet drinks but this was the perfect balance. Not too sweet but also not overbearing. The piazza de Ferrari which is like a pesto spinach cheese panini wasn't too bad but I felt missed a bit of spice or something? Overall I throughly enjoy this place, it's quiet with students usually studying and enough space to converse with a friend. The lil plants inside are soo cute and there's a mini library to borrow a book if you need. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Solid coffee spot! I'm sad they were out of their matcha but I opted to tried their Lorenzo brew iced as well as their recommendation of "Ben's favorite" also iced. The Lorenzo was solid, nice and strong. The Ben's favorite was not something I would personally choose but it was a good light flavor and I can totally see why it is a favorite for many. The worker was so kind and almost overwhelmed me with options but his passion for his work shined through and as I told him I would rather have more options than less! In my chat with him I did learn their inspiration is Philz coffee and I can completely taste that in their Ben's favorite (it was ever so slightly reminiscent of their Philtered Soul). If you find yourself in the area I recommend you check them out! read more

Service was friendly. Coffee I chose to order was a small but was similar to a grande size at Starbucks. Coffee tasted good and should be at $6 a cup. Glad there is a coffee spot near the university for the college kids to come to but seeing as it was empty in the middle of the afternoon, the ambience probably did not help. Will try again but not rushing to. read more

Visited this cute little coffee shop to celebrate a sip and scan. It's a nice place if you want to grab some coffee and study. I've came here two times and both times I've ordered the sunset. I would recommend getting the coffee with whole milk. I had tried coffee with oat milk and I was not a really big fan of it. The coffee here is delicious though and they have food as well! read more

I've loved coming here since they opened. Seeing them grow as a shop has been great! The service is getting faster every time we go. The owner is super friendly and genuinely cares about the coffee he serves. The shop has a very aesthetic vibe to it. Nice for a coffee and chat. My family and I come here often. I'd have to say we've at least tired each coffee on the menu once. Their cold brew is the best I've had in town. I do like hammered and it's march as well. read more

Needed a pick me up so we got the Sunset and tried the Imperial (Matcha Green Tea). Sunset had the right amount of caffeine to wake us up. Imperial had a nutty aftertaste, but it was perfectly balanced with the soy and honey. Excellent customer service. Love the rustic interior --especially their little free library! Bonus: they do open mic nights On their website it says UOP students and faculty get 10% off with ID read more

BREAKFAST: Very cute little shop! Plethora of coffee choices for the connoisseur's. And while standard breakfast sandwiches; each has a little twist that makes them an upgrade.

Great vibes for the place - left in a high. read more

One of my go to places to study. Good drinks and pastries. Good service as well! Open to a decent time which I'm thankful for!

They specialize in French press and wow ! It was delicious . They don't use artificial sweeteners or syrups which is such a plus! They infuse their coffee for the variations of flavors. It does take them some time to prepare your order due to the process but worth the wait. The only downside was the coffee was lukewarm so you need to drink it fast before it gets cold. A must try coffee shop in town read more
