So I have to go to El Centro monthly and I look forward to coming here! The drinks are amazing, the staff is super kind, and it's so convenient! It's a cute little shop with a table out front so not really a sit down spot. Honestly it's my favorite part of El Centro! I haven't tried everything on their menu yet, but I'm YET to be disappointed with anything. read more

Sorry no pictures but i can surely attest that the Spicy tuna panini was delicious and I wish I didn't go halvers with my husband this day The girls in the restaurant can use a bit more of a welcoming feel and it felt like I was bothering one of them when I asked for hot sauce and she said "the tuna panini is spicy already " I said I know I'd like a packet of any of hot sauce please . Make sure you ask for all the things you need to at the window because everything is inside napkins , utensils extra sauces otherwise young ladies there are annoyed with you at the window. I felt like apologizing to them for their - inconvenience -when I was the customer . Maybe a better method for this maybe they are overwhelmed due to running from window to drive through . Other than my overseen inconveniences to others / which are minor but important details as a customer it's really a great spot . Try it out you won't be disappointed There are two tables outside but more of a drive thru than sit down . I also grabbed a strawberry match that was pretty tasty and hubby grabbed a craft energy with guava which was so refreshing . read more

Very cute small coffee shop in el centro! Decided to stop by for some coffee before a long drive back home and this was the perfect spot. They conveniently have a drive thru, so that's a plus. They also have a walk up window, but maybe a table or two outside. There's no indoor area so this isnt really a place to sit and enjoy your coffee. The staff was really nice and even gave us some recommendations. We got a couple of lattes and they were really good! Since they make the espresso fresh, the iced coffee wasn't ice cold but I didnt mind that too much. I will definitely continue to stop by this place whenever im in town! read more

Very cute small business. Stopped here in the middle of a long drive and it was delicious. The only thing I would note is that if you order an ice coffee, they make it fresh so the drink is a bit warm and you have to wait for the ice to make it more chill. But it's worth it and I did not mind since I don't chug my coffee. read more

Stopped by this treasure of a coffee spot. Hazelnut praline latte = YES Bacon breakfast sandwich!! what is that yum yum sauce?? Bold move but definitely a win. That everything bagel with turkey sausage and avocado was also a huge win. Love this place. Open one in San Diego!! read more

I didn't know what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised that my turkey sandwich was on toasty bread. The veggie ingredients in my sandwich were very fresh and crunchy, and my turkey sandwich was delicious. My sandwich also came with a large amount of chips. The cashier was very friendly, outgoing and communicated well. She kindly let me know they had my order, but there was going to be a bit of a wait. Because of the quality of the food, and the kindness of the staff, I will be going again. read more

Pepper Grind Coffee - Vanilla chai with oat milk - Acai Bowls Near Me - El Centro, California

With only a few months of opening, Pepper Grind has taken some business away from the almighty Starbucks. I love supporting small businesses! Lunch items are tasty and the drinks are amazing. My recommendation: Blue Tropics. If you are in El Centro, please consider this gem! Only a drive thru option but will soon have patio and inside dining options. read more

Stopped in on the way heading west. The coffee was good. Ordered a basic small latte. Which was what I hoped would be a cappuccino and it was. Not giving 5 stars only because there was some confusion around my mobile order, and while I stood outside the pickup window waiting I was given no feedback related to what the issue was. The ordering program gives you an estimated time but it's conservative. It not a huge deal. But. Small details make you feel good spending $5 for a cup of coffee. Or, at least help justify it. This was not a deal breaker. I'll revisit next time I'm passing through, but if the same tepid level of communication is the norm I likely won't go back a third time. read more

The service was good. The Honey Breve coffee was delicious! Is this a female owned and operated establishment? (Seems like it) If so, that's awesome! Although the bear toast is cute, for the price, I would have liked a little more fruit. It's a great drive-thru model, but I wish they had seating since I was visiting a medical facility nearby, and there was no place to enjoy my snack. read more

Pepper Grind Coffee - Cobb salad comes with boiled egg, red onions, blue cheese, bacon, romaine lettuce, added jalapeños - Acai Bowls Near Me - El Centro, California

Good coffee and sandwiches but you can wait 45 minutes for this order. Make sure you don't expect to get your order within 5-10 minutes. Even if you order online at times your order will not be ready. read more

I ordered the light roast drip and dark roast drip, and both were great. The light roast has a nice caramel flavor. The dark roast is more of a medium-light, and it has some hazelnut flavor in it. Both of them tasted a little watery, however, as if they didn't use enough beans during the brewing process. But overall I liked both but would recommend the dark roast. Haven't tried the food yet. My one recommendation is: THEY NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR CUP/LID. The lid for their paper cup pops off extremely easily. read more

Excellent cappuccino! The shop is a drive through and walk up. It was easier to drive through. The staff are great and the location is super easy to reach. read more

Visiting here from Long Beach, wasn't sure if i would find a decent coffee spot, but this place delivered. I got a seasonal pumpkin cream cold brew which was exactly how i wanted, with a sprinkle of fresh cinnamon on top. For food I got the Lineman sandwhich which was just right. That pop of jalapeño balanced out the rich croissant and ham. Sorry about the lack of pictures, but you won't be disappointed. read more

For those who love coffee, you know how important it is for the coffee to actually taste like coffee and not just overly sweet! This coffee was AMAZING!

We came on our way to Glamis looking for an early morning quick bite and caffeine fix. This spot was perfect! It had a full menu of unique options of food and drinks. We ordered different lattes and juices as well as breakfast items. Everything was really good (drinks not too sweet) and food was fresh! read more

Ordered three drinks: - vanilla chai cold brew: my friend liked it, said it tasted good and strong. - iced Americano w/ extra shot: tasted too over-extracted. Can't tell what was wrong exactly but it was unusually unbalanced. - hot decaf Americano w/ extra shot: tasted good, say 4/5, but they added cream when I ordered it black!! They only accept online orders, they don't let you order over the phone, which means you can't customize anything. This should be reasonably easy to address with the system. But at least the staff on the phone was nice and took my special request and applied it to my online order. read more

Omg amazing craft coffee. Visiting from San Diego i always have a hard time finding a coffee out here. It didn't have a syrupy taste . The coffee was so well made not too sweet not too bitter, just right. They really paid attention to detail and they offer dairy free alternatives which is amazing out here. The breakfast is great. They have craft breakfast as well. Overall great first experience. Will be getting my coffee here whenever I visit . read more

The best coffee I've ever tasted in the valley hands down. After living in San Diego for 7 years, I'm spoiled when it comes to specialty coffee drinks. My favorite is lavender coffee and I can't find often so I was excited to see it in this menu! It was delicious and you can tell the owners put lots of pride into their business. Staff was friendly and kind. Great spot! read more

Best coffee place with the most delicious food!!!!! We ordered ahead and it was ready when we got there.

Amazing! Try the iced dirty chai latte / cinnamon brown sugar is excellent too! Line is never really long compared to Starbucks! Wish they had a reward system too, I go so often! Definitely recommend! read more

Normally I don't do reviews like this but the service at this business was terrible. Not only was the food burnt to a crisp, the attitudes the workers had with me was an issue. I get it, it's busy but this was not my mistake, I stated my concerns calmly and sadly I was not satisfied with my order. I enjoy Pepper Grind for their coffee but not sure if I'll come back for the food :/ More training on customer service needs to be done. read more

I came today excited for my drink, however the girl at the drive through handed my drink and I was surprised to be met with attitude. While I usually get amazing service, however this is not the first time I had a terrible encounter with this same employee. read more

Best latte I ever had. Lineman sandwich is gourmet good. Wish they offered dinners, too.
