My girlfriend and I stopped by Groundstack Coffee while in town for a wedding, wanting to support a local spot recommended by friends. Mark greeted us warmly at first, and my girlfriend placed the order while I grabbed a seat. The coffee was fine, but the experience wasn't great. When I picked up the coffee and thanked him, Mark didn't acknowledge it and gave me a bit of side-eye. We also felt his stare while we were sitting, which was uncomfortable. As we were leaving, he shouted for us to pay, and that's when we realized there had been a mix-up--he hadn't asked my girlfriend to pay when she ordered, and I assumed she had. He could've clarified earlier instead of waiting until we were leaving. It made for an awkward and unpleasant experience overall. read more

Got Thorton's Thorn and fisherman's wharf cold brew. I liked that the Thorton's wasn't too sweet. Both coffees were really good. The people there were nice. I like that they have a little library inside. It's a nice place to meet up with people to have coffee or to sit and read/study. I believe it is dog friendly as well. read more

So let me start off by saying I did check out the Instagram page first because I tend to like to try things that are not on the menu. However, they didn't have what I saw on Instagram, but they did have a good majority of other selections. I was very satisfied with the Thorntons Thorn, medium roast coffee drink. I sipped very slowly so I could savor every ounce. The staff was very friendly and provided lots of information on their process of coffee. I like the fact that they use real ingredients and no syrups. I'm definitely coming back during seasonal drinks because I can't wait to taste more drinks. It's a very small location, intimate, quiet, and you could definitely get some work completed here. Unlike the busy hectic long waits of chain coffee companies. Keep up.the good work! read more

I had a decaf latte here as a quick little treat with one of their syrups ! I like sweet drinks and barista was helpful and patient with recommendations. They also offer bites but I did not get the chance to try. Service was quick. I like the set up they have in here. It is simple but cozy . Definitely worth a visit ! read more

Good amount of seating, wall outlets and wifi--good study spot. Ordered the Presidio and Hooked On Wilson. Both were good and smooth. Would probably ask for less ice next time since they use a lot of big ice and my drink started getting diluted after a few minutes. Presidio tasted just like a Philz Mint Mojito! Good coffee takes time, but the customers behind us got their order ahead of ours.. read more

I was in the area this past weekend and decided to check this place out. I came around noon on a Sunday. The ambiance is modern and welcoming. The interior is open and spacious, and there is a variety of seating. I was very intrigued by the drinks under Blends and Extracts. I love the unique names. I usually go for a medium roast so I asked the staff for their recommendation in that category. I was recommended the Thornton's Thorns, so I got that. The balance of sweetness and coffee flavor was perfect for me, so I very much enjoyed the drink. My brother got the Lands End, which was less sweet and had a more intense coffee flavor. It fit his taste palette and was great for him. Overall, I like this place. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Coffee is delicious here. You can taste the quality! I have tried a few but LOVE Thorntons Thorn. read more

The matcha was delicious. The only issue we had was with the service. My friend ordered her drink before me and she had to go up to the counter to ask about it because it still wasn't ready 10 minutes after I already received mine. And the girl that was making her drink seemed to be high out of her mind. Very frustrating and extremely unprofessional read more

We wanted to give this place a try because of the good rating and reviews. Coffee was mid. A bit pricey for water down coffee.

It's a small business with a chill vibe inside if you want to do some studying, or even just get out the house. The workers were nice and helped me decide on what to get based on my taste. It didn't taste artificial at all, which is what they're known for. A great spot for coffee lovers! Especially those who enjoy the bitter-ness of the beans! read more

Delicious croissants, delicious Oatmilk hazelnut date coffee, delicious matcha, fun baristas, escape room bathroom.

I love coming here! Mark is the best! I've been on a special diet and haven't been able to have coffee for the last month. He made a special iced green tea with chicory powder and coconut palm sugar for me to fit my diet. It totally helped fill the craving for coffee and it's yummy! Also, they now have Silvanas from Ellis Creamery out of Tracy in Ube, Oreo, pistachio, and cashew. Can't wait to have those when I'm less restricted in what I can eat (I believe pistachio and cashew are gluten free) It's a cool vibe and people are always friendly. You can tell that a lot of care is put into crafting your drink. Please come and check out Groundstack! It's like no other coffee shop in town! read more

So far my favorite coffee I have tried in Stockton since I've moved here! Saw this place for a while on my coffee shop search list and finally had a chance to try on my day off. Located next to Pho Island and Siamese Street.Modern coffee shop with 7-8 tables, a community bench, a couch, and some window seating perfect for meeting up with a friend or getting some work done (yes they have wifi!). They have a simple menu of teas and coffees as well as paninis. They don't do espressos, mochas, if you are actively seeking those. Rather, they specialize in French Press coffees (can opt for hot or cold) which involve using natural ingredients without syrups, per their menu description. Price range of $5-6 dollars depending on size. When I first walked in, the owner was super nice--he asked me if it was my first time here. I just told him to make me a large signature coffee that was on the sweeter side with non-dairy mild. Got a Large It's March (Butter toffee almond and figs) with Oat Milk, per his rec. Really enjoyed it--nice and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness without being excessive. You could really taste the roast. Would definitely come again to hang out; some people have been raving about the Imperial Matcha as well; I would have to spend more time getting through the menu :) read more

Not really sure why this place has so many good reviews that was definitely not my experience. I did order through DoorDash so I didn't experience in person at location but I did pay $20 for a medium coffee and a breakfast sandwich that were so awful that I just threw them away completely inedible. The coffee smelled and tasted of burnt plastic and had weird film floating on top. The Egg Bacon And Cheese Biscuit was not safety packaged did not come with extra bacon that I paid for but honestly even more bacon couldn't of saved this thing. It was dry and flavorless with what looked like fake frozen egg. So incredibly disappointed paid for lots of extras but just ended up throwing away and ordering somewhere else. Not sure if I would try again on-site instead of DoorDash. read more

Coffee is very strong. This place is just coffee. And I like that you can customize how they make it like drip or whatever. I tried the brown sugar one with half and half. It tastes okay too me, not as good compared to other places in town. Price is a little expensive. The place looks nice, especially for study dates. Service 8/10 (-2 for not calling name or having label but they will call your drink!) read more

It was my first time coming to this place and it was an amazing experience! I came near the morning where not much people came yet, but Mark, the owner immediately greets you which made my morning and overall day because I've been stressed on school etc. but he noticed I was new and was happy to explain the menu and what specialities they had which was wonderful especially for someone who hasn't been before. The coffee I chose was the most popular cold brew, the Sunset and I tell u it was so good as well as the Empire State! The decorations were so welcoming and there was enough space to study or work on the laptop as well. I wish I had time to say goodbye and thank u to Mark for providing that boost of energy for me today. Would definitely come back again looks like I found a new cafe to work/study at! I highly recommend visiting when you're around the area, it's worth it! read more

Great coffee and really great matcha! I would dare to say that it is probably the best matcha you can get in Stockton! It's also so close to UOP (walking distance) but parking can be a bit difficult when the plaza gets busy. The shop itself is really cute and clean. My only concern that prevents me from going on coffee dates is how quiet it is. I feel like I'm being being a public disturbance if I am there with my friend and we are talking at a normal volume. However, It honestly might be the vibe that you're looking for if you're trying to study/get work done. Workers are really friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. read more

Ambiance and service was good. Coffee was different. Overall I had a good experience. Hope they sign up on SJ open rewards.

I went to go pick up my printing next to this coffee shop and fell in LOVE. The vibe: is giving modern, sheek, industrial... they still need to put up decorations and finish decor on the wall. Some dope black and white photos would be Amazing. The signage: well I really need them to buck up on this a bit. Their outside sign is not that noticeable. Hey they only been there for two months ... I will give them 2 more lol! Also nowhere posted is their store hours.. I know they have it on internet but we need a store hour sign. The coffee: Someone told me they were like Philz coffee in the Bay Area but TBH I am a HUGE HUGE Philz fan and this place was legit betters I can't believe I just said those words. I ordered the fishermen's wharf. It was a 9/10 for me because it was go sweet for my liking but listen people I drink my coffee BLACK like my heart! LOL so get this cold brew drink! I also ordered the MINT drink and it was fabulous 10/10. The people: I met the sweetest people working behind the bar. They were kind and awesome! People we need to blow this place up! Such a freaking gem! Also they do open mic comedy on Mondays... We need to to do open mic spoke word but we will work on them LOL Go support this business ! read more

Stopping through from Sacramento on the way to a hike and it was the best coffee me and my boyfriend have had. The amount of flavors and customization options really tops the drinks off. The workers were super accommodating and helped us tons on figuring out what we'd like most. Quiet dining and a few games to play while u wait. The taste itself off the beverages was TOP TEIRRRRRR. love love love this place, better than what Sacramento has to offer. read more

Had the Hammered iced. Pros: -The coffee was tasty and the flavors were exactly as described -The place had a cozy vibe with plenty of seating and a mini library to chose from -Interesting drinks. Comparable to Philz Coffee in terms of playing with flavors without using syrups Cons: -My stomach wasn't strong enough for the acidity of the light roast -No espresso -Parking is limited -Extra charge for iced drinks -The caffeine (from the light roast) didn't hit as hard. Will come back to see how the cold brew performs Will definitely come back to try a couple of the other drinks. read more

I come into town occasionally to visit my love and we fell in love with this spot. I ordered the sunset and it was very refreshing. The staff were very kind and the shop was very clean.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Groundstack yet. It's a small owned business! The owner, Mark, is very kind so I just really like to support them. Not the to mention, as you'll read in the review - the coffee is addicting and there's always room there to do my studies. It's not like a normal coffee shop with espresso machines and artificial syrups. They specialize in the French press and use natural flavorings. The flavor is infused in the coffee; idk how but they pride themselves on it. Btw, I use to assume their coffee was not strong because of how smooth it is. However, I am now cautious about how late in the day I drink Groundstack coffee because one time, I could not sleep which is unusual. So I know the strength of their coffee now and will make it a priority to get it only in the morning. The menu may be intimidating bc it's not like normal coffee shops where a caramel macchiato will taste about the same wherever you go, (for example). However, I implore you to try my favorite, "Pacific View," which is infused with dates and figs (something I would never think of trying). It's soooo good! My old favorite was "Hammered" but was quickly replaced by Pacific View hehe. I really ought to try other items on their menu but Pacific View is so addicting. There is nothing else like it! #boycottStarbucks #freePalestine read more

SO GOOD. The guy that greeted me was really helpful explaining the menu. It is really quiet and cozy inside. I had the sunset I think, IT WAS DELICIOUS. Best coffee I have ever had. read more

I really wanted to give this place a try. I'm a decaf coffee drinker. When I walked in, I thought the place looked cozy, a typical cafe decor. They have a lot of drinks on the menu and have 4 different brewing methods, which I was impressed. I just ordered my typical hot decaf Americano. My drink came fairly quickly. I wasn't impressed. I would say that McD coffee might be slightly better. And I paid 3 times more. So, I asked about the origin of the bean and the type of roast. Unfortunately, the person showed me a large bag that was labeled decaf and had no idea where the beans came from and how they were roasted. I left disappointed. Update: To respond to the owner's reply, thanks for getting back to me. Maybe I had a pour-over. It did take about 5 minutes to make. In any case, I was disappointed with the taste of the decaf coffee for the price I paid and the knowledge of the staff. However, I can't say anything about the regular coffee; it might be great. I didn't try it. But the decaf was disappointing. Maybe you want to look into getting better decaf beans. I drink coffee bc I love the taste but can't handle the caffeine. So, I always get decaf. read more

Cute coffeehouse with quite a selection. Service was good and my latte (Pacific View) was made as requested. Though next time I'll add an extra shot of espresso for that added kick. read more
