Unfortunately this place did not make a good first impression and we walked out. Inside it was very crowded and cramped. There is a whole bar seating area that is not in use because there are random coffee mugs even spaced through out blocking all of the space. There was only one person working, and he seemed very nice but had way too many orders for just one person to fill. We were told it would be about 25-30 min before we would get our orders out. We ended up leaving and went across the street which was actually faster than waiting here. Not sure if I'd come back here given my experience this first time around. read more

Cozy neighborhood coffee shop with some old world decor. I ordered a traditional latte and they were able to put it in my reusable cup. The coffee was good. The pastries look good but I did not order any. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Nothing uniquely different of special, but if you are all about the coffee, this is a good place to try. Good service. Parking is readily available. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Amazing service!! So friendly and the coffee is delicious!! The bagels are so good!! Absolutely will be back!!

I stopped by to catch up with a coworker months ago. I was a little disappointed that the sweetness for my matcha drink couldn't be adjusted but it was bearable. My friend had a hot chocolate and a coffee but both were overly sweet. The food was probably better. Indoor seating was limited but perhaps it's bc we stumbled upon another group of coworkers or team. read more

Don't expect gourmet bagels here. They have Costco bagels wrapped in plastic and charge $6 for it with basic cream cheese just an fyi

The coziest little shop with the sweetest owner. Came here for lunch while in the area and loved my turkey wrap. The owner was so sweet and wanted to make sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. He definitely succeeded. Thank you for the wonderful service, food and lovely ambiance. We'll be back. read more

Went there the first time today. Got a coffee, an almondmilk latte and a muffin. Beautiful little cafe. Very cozy ambiance. Indoor and outdoor seating. No restrooms I could see but they might have them. There is a small smoking table/section outside. read more

I already come to this area, but this was my first time here at this cafe shop. The outside is very nice, and coming inside feels very welcoming and cozy. It is somewhat of a small space but I'm sure you can grab a drink with a friend or two and chat it up. I didn't have the chance to stay as I was on my way to work, but take out is an option. I didn't order any beverages as I had my own from home; however I did order the Bagel BTC which is number 5 on the food menu. The man helping me, allowed me to choose which bagel I would like to have with the order. I chose the jalapeño cheddar bagel. BTC stands for Bacon, Tomato, Cream Cheese. And let me tell you... That really hit the spot. My tastebuds enjoyed every single bite! The man who had helped me was kind and very attentive. I didn't catch his name and I'm not sure if he manages the place, but for sure he keeps this establishment clean and neat, and is friendly. I'll certainly come back for a drink next time. Overall, my time here, even though very briefly, was a good one. read more

i love trying local coffee shops and this one was a hit! I had their daily coffee and was delicious. Also tried their seasonal cinnamon dolce latte and breakfast croissant and both were delicious! the service is always so sweet and the inside is so cozy and warm. makes me feel at home and relaxed like I would imagine a coffee shop would or should make me feel. read more

Unique coffee shops are ubiquitous however, what is unique is to find a place that is quiet and has a unique atmosphere. One that is not dominated by people clicking away on their computers, but rather people who are visiting with one another. The coffee here is delicious. They have a full menu of every type of coffee concoction you could desire, as well as a wonderful selection of delicious treats to go with the coffee. Not to mention of course you can purchase coffee beans roasted ground to your perfection. I love this place. It's like having coffee in your own living room but you're waiting on as you never would be at home. When you're done, you can take a stroll through Enderle Center and will no doubt find a gift item that suits you. I hardly recommend this wonderful spot as a great place to meet people and have conversation over coffee or tea and a snack. I have introduced a number of people to it and no one has ever not been impressed. read more

Delicious! Nothing like a cute coffee shop with real mugs and tasty treats! I had the sunrise special on a croissant with their Pistachio Latte. I will definitely come back here when I'm in the area! Thank you coffee grinder! read more

This place is so cute!! I've been here a few times now. Love the ambiance. I've had their BLT and it was delicious. They have pretty good service overall. I've had their chai latte, it's solid for a chai. read more

Love this coffee shop! It's a great atmosphere with incredible coffee and even an iced/slushy style coffee which is delicious. There is also real food- sandwiches and paninis/melts for lunch which were very tasty. The space is great with nice outdoor or indoor seating. The owners and service were absolutely excellent. Would highly recommended! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my family as well. read more

Its a warm and old school looking coffee shop. One long high table and several small round tables. Service is quick and courteous. The iced mint mocha is sweet and smooth, tastes like a cookie. The tuna cheddar melt is decent. It comes with a good side of potato salad. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this place was too good not to! The coffee was exceptional, and the service was outstanding. The prices are unbeatable for this area. Plus, the shop itself is beautiful, with plenty of cozy seating and a welcoming staff. read more

This was a super fun and wick bites type of place! We had fun ordering and getting our coffees while we waited for food! There was a big line and crowded, and the food (after we needed to send it back to get fixed appropriately) was delicious! We had gotten a breakfast burrito and a sandwich, both were great. They had fresh OJ there as well and made a really good mocha! They had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat indoors... I usually prefer my breakfast without bugs in my face good place would recommend if you are in the area and just wanting a nice hearty breakfast. Personally, have had better brunch in that area and in general. I will say the staff worked really hard and fast to accommodate all the guests there. read more

I am in town for the holidays visiting family and was so excited to try this cafe with my brother. The barista was so rude to us and our lattes looked like soap. I don't think she knows how to make lattes properly or maybe she was having a bad day. Either way, we paid for our drinks but left them there and went somewhere else. We didn't want to bother her to make another bc she had such a bad attitude. Bummer, since this place has great reviews. read more

The sweetest people work here. And the iced mint mocha is must and perfect if you like sweet

Small coffee shop with just about a million drink options to choose from with all of the syrup flavors. I ordered a basic Americano with 0 frills. The coffee was hot and my barista was kind enough to add some ice cubes to cool it down a bit. They also had some baked goods for purchase in their shop. read more

Stepped out of my lazy Starbucks habit for a real treat here: Loved my breakfast here with my daughter--we ordered two different very tasty breakfast bagels and strong earthy coffee--all a delight to the senses. Different kind of savory flavors. And the sweets looked really special. I wish we had taken some home! Go enjoy the food and the smile of the nice lady behind the counter! read more

This was probably the worst coffee I have ever had in my entire life. I really wanted to throw my coffee in the trash as soon as I walked out the door, but I felt bad for the old man running the store. I went across the road and got coffee somewhere else because that's how bad the coffee was. read more

First time trying this cute little coffee shop for a quick brunch and it did not disappoint. I got the sunrise with bacon on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was delicious. The bagel itself was the start of the show, it was soft, fresh and had a ton of flavor with lots of cheese! Not too heavy and didn't make me feel overly full after eating. I also got a blueberry banana smoothie, you can never go wrong with that combo. I would say it is more on the pricey side for a cafe but I was satisfied with the choices I got. read more

The coffee was high quality, bagel sandwich was delicious, and the service was friendly! Cute cozy cafe, worth the visit!

The beagles were delicious, and the service was splendid. It is a lovely place to visit for peace.

Drinks were great and the staff was super nice and meticulous about quality of food and service :) you walk in and it feels very homey in here & smells great. Feels like you're in a living room! read more

The ambiance is great -- free wifi, outlets, and comfortable indoor seating. The service was relatively quick. The breakfast burrito with egg, cheese, and avocado was really bad. I could only take one bite. The bagel with cream cheese and coffee were ok. read more

Such a quaint and cute coffee joint on the corner of a mall strip plaza in Tustin! This place is TRULY a hidden gem. Commencing from sweet, scrumptious pastries (e.g., cookies, carrot bar, lemon bar) to savory bites (e.g., chicken salad sammies and croissants)--they even sell fresh fruits packaged and ready to go! Also, the Lunch Specials change daily--and I am sure they are all delicious! The seats are very comfortable--perfect for a nice "catch-up" session or to get some work done. The first time I came here, I ordered the carrot bar and cranberry scone. Second time I came here, I ordered the cinnamon crumb cake (cinnamon or cranberry option). The third time I came here, I ordered the vanilla swirl bread and lemon poppyseed muffin. The fourth time I came here, I ordered the lemon poppyseed scone and a chocolate chip cookie. The fifth time I came here, I ordered the "special" Halloween sugar cookie. Today, I ordered the cranberry muffin. AND LET ME TELL YOU: all the pastries that I have tried thus far--as delicious! My two ultimate favorite pastries are: lemon bar and their scones! The lemon has just the right amount of tart and slight crunch on the bottom to balance everything out perfectly. Their scones--the texture and crumb-ness is amazing. I prefer not to have my bread/pastries to be too crumbly because I would have to clean everything up...Coffee Grinder's scones crumble just the way it's supposed to! Lastly, as other reviews mention--SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE! Will be back tomorrow! read more

Five stars for superb customer service. I stopped into this quaint coffee shop for some coffee and a pastry. The interior is inviting and has comfortable seating inside and some patio tables on the sidewalk. I decided on a vanilla latte and, after looking over all the marvelous choices in the pastry case, went with a lemon bar. I then noticed on the menu board behind the counter that they serve sandwiches. It was early afternoon and I hadn't had lunch yet so I decided to eat there. I chose a turkey-bacon-swiss panini with a small side of potato salad. I pulled out my plastic to pay and the friendly woman who was helping me moaned and explained that the system was down as the cable company was working on the lines in the plaza. I rarely carry much cash and was $5 short. She told me not to worry about it, I could stop by anytime and pay what I owe. As I handed her my cash I felt warm and fuzzy knowing that there are still good people like this in a world where at times it feels like all civility has vanished. It truly was refreshing (note: the system came back online before I left so she returned my cash and I paid by card). The latte was superb, served at perfect temperature and both coffee and vanilla shared flavor duties. The lemon bar was excellent being only slightly sweet and not overly tart. The sandwich was made well with deli meat and the swiss cheese was melted within the grill-marked ciabatta bread. A delicious and satisfying sandwich but certainly not the most incredible one I've ever had. Still, I was in awe of the great customer service and enjoyed everything here enough to give the full five. read more

This cute little coffee shop is located in a great neighborhood shopping center in Tustin. After a bit of shopping the other day, we stopped by here to grab some hot chocolate. This place has a great relaxed ambience. The glass case was full of delicious desserts, and there were plenty of tables to enjoy your coffee and a pastry. Like many stores in this shopping center, this shop appears to be family owned too. The owner was behind the counter taking orders and making coffee. I love supporting locally owned family businesses! We really liked the hot chocolate and will be back to try the pastries. With a cozy atmosphere, this is a great spot to grab a coffee and catch up with a friend! read more

I was the only customer when I arrived Wednesday at 1030. There is ample parking in the lot shared by Zovs. The setting is comfortable with mismatched chairs and tables. I sat in a soft leather armchair while I had a coffee and bagel. I am disappointed in the bagel and didn't finish eating it. The cappuccino was a-ok. The bagel was meh. I had it roasted w cream cheese. The first bite failed because the bagel had no crunch. No bite from being toasted. Visually, I see the toasted coloring and the cream cheese is spread thinly from warmth melting it. The cream cheese was "one with the bagel" So to speak. The consistency was soft. I expect more. read more

So on my way to Arizona, my boss's truck broke down on the freeway, but we were able to make it to this establishment from there at around 7am. So, we went im for coffee and a breakfast sandwich while we figured out our issue. The gentleman that I believe to be the owner promptly made me those things upon request. I went back to our broken down truck and enjoyed the coffee and sandwhich, it was truly good! Not only then did I notice the gentleman walking his way to our truck, leaving the shop out of concern with the intention to help us and diagnose our truck issue, he had truly went above and beyond, and I have no doubt if he could have helped us further, he was prepared to and would have. This was more of a review of the service and kind-heartedness of the gentleman inside, but i will note that the food was quickly made, delicious, and the atmosphere inside rivals that of some of the nicer coffee shops out there. Truly a great atmosphere. Thank you, sir! read more
