The atmosphere is warm and welcoming--perfect for meeting up with friends or just taking a little breather in your day. And their drink menu is so fun and creative! My absolute favorite is the Teddy Graham latte--sweetened with honey and topped with the cutest little teddy bear graham snacks. It's almost too adorable to drink... almost! It's become my go-to "shareable" treat because everyone smiles when it arrives. I love having a place like this right in our community. It brings such a great energy to downtown and makes it feel alive and connected. Grab a drink, bring a friend, and take a stroll through downtown while you're at it.

The shop is really cute inside with a welcoming vibe, and the staff were super friendly. They have a great selection of coffee drinks (hot and iced) and some really good-looking pastries. I ordered the Iced Cinnamon Toast coffee, and my wife got the Sugar-Free Iced Cinnamon Toast iced coffee. Both were excellent. A cool touch was that they actually sprinkle Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on top. We also grabbed a cookie that ended up being a great surprise. I took it home and had it the next morning. After microwaving it for about 15 seconds, a marshmallow in the center puffed up -- I didn't even know it was in there. Really cool. The coffee is a little pricey compared to a similar cup of coffee elsewhere, and they close at 3 PM, but overall it was a great visit. If you're in downtown Ceres and looking for a good coffee shop with creative drinks and friendly staff, The Drip is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try another drink.

My friend and I go on morning walks three times a week, and I finally said, "Let's try it and see what they have." As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by two gentlemen who were incredibly kind and welcoming. We headed toward the café area and it smelled amazing. I ordered an almond iced coffee, and my friend got a salted coffee (can't remember the exact name), but we drank them down so fast because they were that good. The balance was perfect--you can actually taste the coffee, not just sugar or milk like at other places I've tried. You can tell they really take pride in their shop and their craft. I'll definitely be coming back. It's been hard to find truly good coffee around here, and I'm happy to say I've finally found my spot

I want to say they almost got it just like my small hometown tortas in Mexico . The pepper jack cheese and mayo tossed it off track . Get rid of the melted cheese and use crema Mexicana and it will be more up my alley. With that said it's still super yummy . It was served with a side of white sauce . I still don't know what it was . It tasted like mayo mixed with something else . 4 for the torta! I also went with a shaken brown sugar espresso it was a tad bit on the bland side but tasted refreshing enough. 3 . Service was decent . Straight to business and I totally prefer it that way .

When I first went to Con Azucar around last year, the food, drinks, and service were actually…read morereally good. Everything was timely, professional, and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it seems like the quality of the service has really deteriorated over the past year. I went in on Sunday, May 10, 2026 around 7:30 PM just wanting to order two drinks and a sandwich. There were already customers ahead of me, and it took over 10 minutes just for them to finish taking those orders. By the time I finally got to the register and tried to order, I was told they couldn't make the sandwich because they had already turned off the stove. That honestly made no sense to me. If the restaurant is still open and there are customers still inside waiting to order, it should be expected that people are going to order food and drinks because that is literally the point of the restaurant. What made it worse is that they never announced any kind of "last call" or warned customers that the kitchen was shutting down. That felt really unprofessional and not something I experienced there before. We still ordered two drinks: an horchata and a chai with oat milk. The horchata was fine, but the chai was made incorrectly with almond milk instead of oat milk, and it tasted extremely bitter and bad. Since it was so close to closing time by then, we couldn't realistically go back in to have it corrected. So overall, we drove out there expecting food and drinks, and ended up with no sandwich, one decent drink, and one bad drink that was made incorrectly. It feels like the professionalism and customer service have gone downhill. In my opinion, it shouldn't matter what time customers come in as long as the business is still open because the service and quality should remain consistent. Response to owner: Thank you for the response and for offering to replace the drink. I do appreciate that. However, I still feel like the situation could have been handled much better. Before even coming into the café, I was trying to place the exact sandwich and drink order through DoorDash and the app was still allowing the order to go through. Because of that, there was no indication anywhere that hot food orders had already stopped for the night. If ovens are routinely shut down early, I really think customers should be clearly informed either online, on DoorDash, or with an announcement inside the café. I also do not necessarily agree that this is standard across cafés. Other places that serve sandwiches and drinks, like Panera, still prepare food orders even 30 minutes to an hour before closing as long as they are still open. From a customer perspective, if a business is open and accepting orders, it is reasonable to expect the menu items being advertised are still available unless stated otherwise. My main frustration was not just the sandwich itself, but the overall experience. We waited in line for quite a while, were not informed ahead of time that food service had ended, and then one of the drinks was also made incorrectly. It just made the whole visit feel disorganized and disappointing compared to the good experiences I had there previously. I do appreciate the response and willingness to make things right, but I still think clearer communication and more consistency in service would help avoid situations like this for future customers.

Like others have said, you have to go home and finish making it yourself basically. Don't be fooled by these glowing reviews, all these young girls working there treat *THEIR* friends who come in very well! Which is why they probably have good reviews. I'm assuming the owner doesn't care that his employees horrible customer service which is sad. He had a good thing going at first. Unfortunately today is the last time I will spend my money there. To be specific, the big tall girl working there at 3 PM with her bad attitude. If you want to spend $10 on a frozen pastry and $10 more on a half a** made coffee with horrible customer service, this is your spot!

It's a cute little coffee shop with limited seating. On a Sunday morning, the seats were all taken (ok for me, didn't plan on staying). Upon walking in there was no greeting, no" hello, welcome in" by any of the four people standing behind the counter. But that's not why I'm giving it two stars. As I sat and waited for my order to be prepared the person who took my order ('K' name) sat down just behind the register and was on her phone and sucking on her fingertips! She has just boxed my order, I took it and left but won't be eating it because who knows if she'd been nibbling on her hands prior to my order. 1 for my coffee which was good. 1 star for one of the employees who said "bye, have a nice day".

But if I lived here I'd definitely be trying a new one every week!! I was not disappointed by my choice at all! I loved the cream on top and the bruleed bananas that they include on a skewer. On top of that, the customer service was great. I also loved the outdoor patio space because it was enclosed and they had a ton of outdoor games which our kids loved. It looks like they have their own parking lot, which is awesome so that you don't have to worry about street parking too. This place has something for everyone, including a full kids menu with all kinds of non-caffeinated options. Definitely a solid find!

Pure Grind Coffee and Juice Review…read more The wifey and I were downtown handling some business, and I was craving a good cup of coffee. You already know -- the wifey loves checking out new java spots. Happy wife, happy life, right? We walked into Pure Grind Coffee and Juice and were immediately greeted by some super-duper nice ladies behind the counter. Great vibes from the jump. They offered solid recommendations, which I always appreciate. I'm a mocha guy -- I like a little sweetness -- so I went with the mocha. The wifey ordered the banana matcha. Now listen... I am not a matcha man. (Sounds like the Village People -- macho macho man.) BUT... they garnish that cold drink with caramelized banana slices. Are you kidding me?! The moment that caramelized banana touched my lips -- I was hooked. Like a fish. And my mocha? Straight delicious. Smooth, perfectly balanced, and I didn't even need to add my usual sweetener. Bottom line: great service, creative drinks, and quality coffee. We are definitely coming back.
