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

    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.

    Iced matcha with strawberry
    Nishalina B.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thai tea

    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.

    Hanging out.  Great atmosphere.

    Great atmosphere, vibes, and service. Sunset iced coffee is really good. Love the plants and decorations.

    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.

    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.

    Way passed breakfast due to a long appointment. Didn't want leave the area without trying a local coffee shop. Came across this gem. Absolutely fantastic coffee! My daughter had the matcha and she said it was perfect. I'll definitely let my friend know who does live in the area to check them out.

    Delicious coffee and tea...nice ambiance and such friendly, knowledgeable staff. Croissants delicious too!

    My new favorite go to spot!!!! I ordered the hammered with Oatmilk! It never misses! The coffee shop is always clean, love their little library they have in corner there! You can always tell the barista what you like and they will suggest a coffee to your liking!

    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.
