I bought a bike from here and the service for that bike and my other bikes have been spot on. Steve is a great mechanic. His hours have changed and it's a good idea to call for an appointment. read more

Good bike shop. Best bike shop in town. Great bike shop in Toro. They don't sell coffee anymore, just bikes.

My husbands Bruce Gordon bike needed some maintenance. Steve replaced the tires, the cables, the brakes & even jazzed up the bike with new yellow tape at the handle bars. All of this for under $300. A bargain & we would highly recommend Toro Grind for any bike repairs and/or maintenance. read more

We were having issues with the rear shifting on my son's bike. We dropped in and Steve was able to fix the issue in less than 30 min. Super awesome shop and would highly recommend. read more

This is for the bike repair. I really want to like these guys and the owner seems really nice. Here's why I couldn't give 4-5 stars and even felt hesitant about giving 3. I brought my 5 year old son's se lil ripper which had been having repeated flats (I thought maybe there was a rim issue). Employee (can't remember his name but he's an ex cop from Salinas) fixed the flat (he found some goats heads between the tube and the tire). Sweet right? Not so fast. He gives me the bike back and my son rides it down the sidewalk but has to bail because the employee didn't pull the brakes tight. I take the bike back and he tells me it'll be overnight to get it fixed. We're bummed because the whole point of bringing the bike to a shop next to fort ord is so we can ride together for a bit. So I get a call the next day saying the bike's ready to go. I show up and another employee gives me the bike back. I ride it down the side walk and ... same thing. Brakes are blown. I take it back and tell the owner the problem. He throws it on the stand and pulls the brakes tight and gives it back. Brakes at least pulls the pads against the rim so my son will be safe. Total price $11 for the tube and finding the goats heads + $10 and two wasted days with the brakes which only needed tightening because of the tube install in the first place. When I saw the price for the brakes I figured they must have pulled a new cable. Nope. Same one I had there before. I should have just done the brakes myself. For my money (and more importantly time) I could have replaced the cable and housing and maybe thrown in a pair of pads. Oh well. Lesson learned. Maybe the coffee is good. One last thing. The initial employee told me not to take my son to the pump track in East Salinas. Maybe that's the ex cop bias but I've been to East Salinas many times and never had a problem. read more

My breaks had given out when I was flying down a mountain in Toro. That scared me, so I stopped by their shop and asked them to take a look. Steve started working on it immediately and Tim started making me a Vanilla Latte. We chit chatted, Steve found the problem (my breaks had bubbles). He worked on the breaks while I sipped on my latte... few minutes later he was done... he charged me $10 for the repair and I was good to go. That was fun! Now its 6 months later and I'm about to go back for a different, unrelated problem my bike is having! Love these guys!! read more

What great concept and perfect fit for the Toro shopping center. Great Coffee and great service from the staff. Seating inside is comfortable and grab a cup of coffee and get a flat fixed or your bikes tuned up. read more

The handful of times I've attempted to have coffee here have been terrible experiences. The coffee tastes awful, it is overpriced, and the staff is inexperienced to say the least. I would not recommend ever coming here. There are too many good options locally, this is definitely not one of them!!! read more

Super convenient location, truly great customer service and very fair prices. They did my repair in just a few hours, which was fantastic. I will definitely be back for my bike needs. read more

Steve has a great shop and i appreciate his excellent service, quality products and knowledge. I have been assisted by Steve on more than one occasion and it is another reason I love to support shops like his. Thank you Steve. read more

Having a bike shop at toro park plaza has always been a dream of us cyclist. At first I was a little skeptical about a bike / coffee shop but my worries completely disappeared the moment I walked in. Five stars for a reason and yes I also drink coffee. Though I can't speak for the "fru fru" coffee drinkers, I love the flavor of Verge and my regular dark roast or espresso is exactly what a want before or after a ride. Now on to the bike side. I have very high standards when it comes to judging a bike shop or mechanics. This probably comes from the fact that I am a automotive technician and am definitely a little obsessed with upcoming technology or trends in the bike industry. Steve definitely has both. Being excited about the sport with the new new and having a rich knowledge of the years past. I respect that and am very excited to have a bike shop to call home. Thank you Steve and staff. Keep up the great work! read more

I stopped in here while filling up, didn't know it was there. My double espresso was excellent, rivalling the best on the peninsula. Great crema, nice body and flavor. If they do their milk as well as their espresso, their lattes must be delicious. If you're in the area or going for a ride in Ft. Ord off of 68, it's worth swinging by. read more

Great bike shop! This is the only bike shop in the area I'd recommend. You can't beat the service and price. The owner is great and he'll do his best to help you out if you're new to biking like me. You can tell he's passionate about what he does. Take your bike here if you want quality, friendly service. read more

My wife & I went here for the first time today. Tim made the drinks & they were really good. We talked with the owner, Steve & Tim for over an hour. I will take my bike to them the next time it needs some work done. We really liked this place and will recommend it to our friends. read more

Best coffee in town! Convenient location right off the highway! Great service and they know everything about bikes! Support local businesses! read more

Just had a dirty chai and didn't ask for the "dirty" service I got with it- From dirty looks to his need to tell me my reusable cup with dirty( maybe he's never seen one before) Anyways I asked if I could rinse it out and he said "no I'll just clean it here because i don't want it dirty in there "- sprayed it and handed it back to me dirty then claimed he denied my request of my drink in it because it was dirty- of course he used a paper cup with intention to pour it in my "dirty" cup after dirtying that cup ( ironically that's dirty for our environment)- it sounds funny but it wasn't - because of his condensing tone it was actually rude - then as I left and still mustered up a Thank you he threw in "thank you to the person who got you that gift card" like it's any of his business how I paid and if somehow that validated his service- Dirty chai wasn't even that good so although in the past I had better service looks like this clean yet somehow soo dirty lady will pass the insults and ignorance and just go down the street to Castle Rock Coffee ( gotta love their Lavender latte with great service) read more
