    This is a quiet little gem. If you need a place to study or meet a small study group, this is a good location. I'm kind of hesitant to share because I love that this place isn't super busy when I've been, but they deserve your business. There's 5 small tables, a few window seats, a couch and coffee table, and a larger bench table. They also have free WiFi and a few plugs. They display local artists work on the walls and the place just has a cute vibe. The menu is specialty coffee and tea, so don't come looking for a white mocha (lol). All the flavors and extracts are natural, so no fake syrups! I ordered the Hammered and it had such a nice flavor of macadamia nuts. They also have a small selection of pastries and food. Check them out and show them some love. Support small businesses :)

    Thai tea

    I've been coming to Groundstack over the past few months to get my caffeine fix. Coffee here tastes way different than Starbucks. May take a bit longer but the quality and flavor is worth the wait. As if this writing, the shop has an app where you can order ahead so it's been a life saver for me in the mornings when I'm running late. Pershing it is my favorite drink and I've just recently tried the Thai tea. It's really good stuff. Chill vibes on the inside and kept nicely clean as well. Add this place to your coffee rotation because you won't regret it.

    Groundstack Coffee has a great vibe -- cozy space, nice decor, live-edge wood table, plants everywhere. The staff was genuinely impressive. The guy working asked if it was our first time, and when we said yes, he walked us through everything -- the specialty beans, the menu, all of it. Didn't expect that level of attention at a coffee shop. I got the Ben's Fave (hazelnut and dates) and an almond croissant, both solid. Only two downsides: $8.55 for a coffee is hard to swallow, and the restroom was dirty -- which doesn't fit the premium experience they're clearly going for.

    Iced matcha with strawberry

    I've tried a few different places for matcha in Stockton, but this has been my favorite. It's more on the expensive side but it's worth the natural ingredients without syrups. I ordered an iced matcha with strawberry, less sweet. Recommend! Also got a lavender matcha, and it was very subtle; didn't need to order less sweet. Also recommend! If you ask them to make the drink in your own container, they will.

    Had to try this place since it's 4.7 stars. Interior design is upscale kind of cafe. If you like organic coffee and tea this is the right place for it. Service is very friendly and fast. Loved my peach tea. Just right of sweetness for my taste. Then Ben's Fave is also delightful with its hint of hazelnut flavor. I guess we're coming back again when we're in the area.

    The sweetener part is misleading. It's not just nuts and fruits, they use actual sweeteners like monk fruit, brown sugar, etc. I knew there was no way my drink was that sweet from fruit and nuts alone. Service was okay, not the friendliest of barista who took our order. The girl though who called out our drinks was friendly and told us to taste it and if it needed any adjustments. super small iced coffee for the price. inside was calm and not loud. good place to study or catch up with a friend.

    Hanging out.  Great atmosphere.

    Great atmosphere, vibes, and service. Sunset iced coffee is really good. Love the plants and decorations.

    Knowing I had to run an errand in Stockton, I did some research on coffee shops prior to landing on Groundstack Coffee. What sold me on coming here was that they use natural ingredients and steer away from artificial flavors. Located close to UOP, they have a small parking lot for several businesses. Late on a weekday morning, parking wasn't an issue the day I visited. Based on what tried, I think the cold brews are the highlight of the menu. While "Hooked on Wilson" was fine, I didn't really taste much lavender. (It was still a good drink though!) The Presidio was very refreshing, and I really enjoyed this drink since I love the taste of mint. Service was great. Upon discovering I was a new customer the menu was explained and recommendations were offered. I sat and drank my coffee for a short while. There were plenty of tables and chairs. As a side note, getting to restroom requires going through a couple doors and turning a few corners. Very glad I stopped by Groundstack! This great coffee place made my trek to Stockton (from Elk Grove) much more enjoyable.

    I'm in town for work. Looked up coffee places by the hotel and wanted something local. Eventually settled on Groundstack. I walked in and was immediately greeted by great customer service. They inquired if it was my first time in and proceeded to breakdown their process (aeropress) to me. Asked me for my typical preferred drink and then recommended their "version". I gave it a shot and simply , wow. DELICIOUS coffee. This place deserves 10 stars.

    Way passed breakfast due to a long appointment. Didn't want leave the area without trying a local coffee shop. Came across this gem. Absolutely fantastic coffee! My daughter had the matcha and she said it was perfect. I'll definitely let my friend know who does live in the area to check them out.

    My new favorite go to spot!!!! I ordered the hammered with Oatmilk! It never misses! The coffee shop is always clean, love their little library they have in corner there! You can always tell the barista what you like and they will suggest a coffee to your liking!

    I was looking to pick up coffee around Stockton and came across Groundstack Coffee. After reading impressive reviews on Yelp, decided to give it a try. Parking was super easy to find outside the coffee shop. It turned out to be one of the best coffees I have had - great cafe, chatted with the owner who recommended a few options. Tried Hanmered, and wow! Very impressive drink with macadamia and coconut flakes. The uniqueness is the french press is made fresh with flavors from real nuts, spices etc - you can actually taste it vs the syrups with loads of sugar. The cafe had good seating to get some work done. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.

    Very good coffee that is different from most other coffee shops uses French press with real ingredients to add flavors.

Parking is street-only, but I was lucky enough to find a spot right in front. FOOD I was expecting a larger food menu, but they only offer 1-2 rotating items for the day/week. I saw their lox bagel from photos and I was bummed they didn't have it that day so I ended up ordering the bagel sandwich (cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber) and a breakfast burrito. Both were decent, though the bagel could've definitely used more cream cheese. 3.8/5 DRINKS Ube White Mocha - 3.8/5: The flavor was there, but it could've used more coffee. Vanilla Latte - 3.8/5: Solid and enjoyable. My overall rating leans closer to a 3.8 mainly because the service was slow and my drink order was initially messed up. The barista did correct it and even let me keep the extra drink, which I appreciated. However, I was also accidentally charged twice and had to get that adjusted. Overall, it's still a nice place to stop by for coffee, and I'd be open to giving it another try.

Food: The food is awesome, they have paninis and breakfast sandwiches options. Coffee/Drinks: I have tried almost all of their coffee menu options and none of them have disappointed. Our favorite go-to drink is the Hot chocolate. They serve it in a ceramic mug when you ask for it, and it has a delicious, eye appealing appearance. Ambiance: since it is close to SJDC campus and UOP there often many students doing they school work, and group projects. Quite fun to spend time with people going after their careers and dreams. It can get loud at times, so if you don't mind the noise this is a great place to come and enjoy this place. Baristas/ staff: they are always nice and they go the extra mile to memorize your face and possibly your name. Weekends/ Late afternoons: there is a patio at the front of the coffee shop which has plenty of spa ce to have a seat and enjoy artist who are practicing and sharing their music and art talents. They arrive beer and the smell of smoke can get a little ov

Staff…read moreis super friendly and I will sometime ask them for a recommendation and they haven't steered me wrong yet! Everything they have suggested has been good :) I have been on a banana kick right now so their banana cloud matcha has been my go to lately. Their strawberry matcha is also very good. The matcha is not too strong and overpowering and their banana and strawberry flavors are sweet but not too sweet. Their coffees are STRONG and just the pick me up that I need to get through a long day at work. They also offer pastries. They have something called a milk cake which I haven't had before trying the one here. The Oreo cookies and cream milk cake is THE BEST and I highly recommend trying it if they have it available!!! The chocolate beignets are nice and fluffy. They also have a vendor who makes puddings so pick one of those up as well too to support a local small business! The inside of their shop is shared with Habibis intl market (they have great gyro plates!!!!) and there is plenty of seating inside if you and some friends want a cozy place to sit and hang out. There's plenty of parking space out front and out back.

I also got slice Biscoff milk cake delicious not too sweet just perfect. Pricing must say reasonable compare other coffee shops I been too. Service- when I seen the line I did hesitated staying, but then I talked myself stay and I am glad I did. To be honest for the line they had they were pretty quick getting orders out. Coffee shop has small area to seat around. I say this is more like a pick up and go type of place. I did not vibe being inside store where sell meats and has limited grocery items plus not much seating area. Parking- back parking lot pretty small you better off on the side of the building. You then would walk from front store because coffee shop in the back. Overall, rating 4 start due to meat area next to coffee place.
