Walking into this coffee shop is like stepping into an Instagram filter. The natural light floods the space, highlighting the minimalist interior that whispers, "You *might* be productive here." The ambiance is so calming. I had turkey sandwich (err stole from my partner. He had lunch already, so this was his second lunch. So I thought he could use some help with the sandwich), Cold brew, and banana bread The turkey sandwich? It's delicious but so small you'll feel like you're having high tea.. I'm here for coffee tho eh? But hey, quality over quantity, right? It was a luxury sandwich, not for the poor PhD student. The cold brew was...fine. Like the friend you invite to things but don't expect to carry the conversation. It's there, it's chill, but it's not going to add much. Now, the banana bread? Let me tell you, the barista and I shared a moment. Without saying a word, they gave me the larger slice. It was as if they *knew* I needed this victory today. The bread itself was solidly "ok," but that larger slice? 5 stars for thoughtfulness alone. All in all, if you're in the mood for great ambiance, decent cold brew, and a sandwich that'll leave you wanting more (literally), this place is worth a visit. Just don't expect to leave with a full stomach--or a full wallet. read more

The bagels were great! I liked their peppermint mocha a lot too. There's a lot of room to eat, study, and chill. The service was nice as well. read more

I'm so glad I found this corner coffee shop. I can tell why the locals would love it, hence the name. It's so inviting inside. Tried the iced latte and also an iced matcha. Both were excellent and the service was fantastic. Lots of room in the shop, and they also sell some fun merchandise. If I'm ever in the area, I will definitely visit again. read more

Spacious place for a coffee shop. Service was good. Limited food and coffee menu, but I did visit in the afternoon so I may have missed a few things. It's simply coffee with a quaint location. read more

Mediocre cafe Workers seem nice. The counter where they give out drinks is constantly dirty, even where you grab the straws is a little messy. Waited about 15 minutes for my bagel--not sure if someone took it (I was actively listening for my order and they never called it out) or they just never made it. They weren't busy so not sure what happened there. Matcha was decent--I would try another drink but wouldn't reorder the matcha again. read more

Don't bother going up the staircase, all the seating is on the main level! I am not a big fan of bagels, at least I wasn't before, but that's the main feature of the food offerings here and I'm looking forward to coming back for more! I also approve that the matcha latte is unsweetened so I can decide my own level of added sweetener. A new quick, light lunch place when on the go! read more

First time coming by Local Grind, I've been meaning to try their LB location as well! Super spacious and calming vibe to do some work in. Barista's are down to earth and very personable! Jay was really knowledgeable and welcomed us with great energy. The drinks were flavorful, and will definitely be coming back. read more

The place is nice and homey. They had cute merch but I didnt have enough time to look at each item. Staff was friendly even though they were busy with just 2 at the counter and prepping drinks and heating up food. Service was quick so if you're in a rush you don't have to worry about how long it takes to get your order. I only took 1 pic of our drinks but we got 3. These were good and a typical drink. But the muffin was really good. read more

honestly one of the best coffee shops i've ever been to! they're EXTREMELY consistent, which i think is super important. their espresso has never been burnt & their lattes are incredible. lots of tables & they have outlets in the ground. baristas are sweet. you need to check this place out. i've never been a regular at a place before here!! i recommend the hazelnut & horchata lattes! and grab the iced strawberry shortcake latte before it leaves the menu :3 i love you local grind read more

Nice and spacious interior with parking in private lot in the back. This place is perfect for socializing or for studying... if you don't need an outlet. Service was friendly. Ended up getting a Maple Scone, 562 (recommend), and Mexican Horchata. Only issue is the hours -- open at 7am and close at 4pm. read more

Worker could have been more polite and helpful in my opinion. Gave me stank face the entire time I ordered. The coffee was not bad though. But coffee shops are about good vibes, and this was not it. Although i wanted to like it, not sure if ill come back. The pastry was good. read more

Iv gone here maybe 5 times , specialty coffees are never consistent & I always order the same drink. I also think asking for names would help a lot since no one seems to remember what drink or milk they order read more

Good fresh bagels and service. Wish they had cranberry bagels like the Lo Grind Spring & Los coyotes diagonal in Long Beach

Love, love, love local grind! I am definitely someone who comes here weekly for a weekend latte and bagel sandwich! Everyone there is always so nice & friendly and the cafe is very spacious and has lots of natural lighting which makes it such a fun place to be in the morning :) They even sell some cute handmade products! read more

This spot is in a convenient location with a good variety of menu items and tons of indoor seating. Love the little shopping area with cute cards, stickers & other knick knacks, but each time I've been here there have been multiple employees working but no one has ever been at the register greeting you ready to take your order. There's always a bit of an ordering lag and the drinks seem to take 7-10 minutes to make even if there's no one else in there. Paid $7 for an iced vanilla matcha that was very underwhelming and didn't have much of a vanilla taste at all. read more

I'm going to admit I will try this location again. I was a bit disappointed, the staff seemed agitated, which could just be because they seemed to be focused on their boss when I walked in. They were nice enough, It was really straight forward. I just got a double espresso and I was shocked how expensive it was. I'm going to try a different drink next time that will last a bit longer for the price. The ambience is really nice, calm. There were people working in their own spaces and it was nice to see them supporting local. I've been on a local kick and I want to give it another shot. I'll just order better next time! read more

The coffee here has always been so tasty I get the 24 oz and still want another! The staff are super friendly and there's a lot of parking and spaces to get work done read more

I've been here quite a few times. Drinks are really good and reliable. I was hesitate to get the gingerbread latte, as most coffee shops can't replicate the gingerbread taste, often times tasting like milk and cinnamon , but here the gingerbread latte was really good and resembles a gingerbread. Absolutely amazing. Best iced gingerbread latte award in La county and Orange County. One star offf due to not the friendly customer service it but I do like their drinks read more

Disinterested staff a locked front door. A strange sign that's not obvious to get in the back door and when you walk in the place stinks like sour milk. I didn't even try the coffee I left. I gave them two chances over 2 days Saturday and Sunday and it was the same. It's hard to get good staff I suppose and have people even show up for work. But I noticed this morning at 7:25 a.m. Sunday there was only one person working there and they were not at the counter to greet customers. They were in the back. read more

It's a nice place to study. I got the 24oz iced white mocha and it was a bit too sweet for me so I'd ask for less sweet and even an extra shot of espresso. Super cool barista too. read more

The interior is nice and refreshing. It's very spacious so you're not too close to the next person. However, the food was okay. The latte I ordered only took 2 minutes and it tasted below average. It makes me wonder if it was premade(store bought) . I also ordered the salmon bagel and I could tell it was not fresh, it was too salty. This is a good place to wind down but the food & drinks are mid. read more

The person who took my order was really nice and friendly so I hope it doesn't back fires to him, but I ordered two things, and after 25 min of waiting they came to tell me they didn't had the coffee I asked for. He was really nice and clearly felt bad but I was already getting frustrated for waiting 25 min for a coffee just to hear not happening pls lock in for next time. I ended up canceling the whole thing read more

This was a nice quiet coffee shop I went to today and the iced mocha was amazing and the customer service was great!

Had a good first couple experiences here but the last two are pretty unforgivable really and just shows how careless the staff here is. - First mistake was ordering 6 bagels , none of them with cream cheese, and ended up with half of them including cream cheese on top of the other topics we ordered which made the bagel disgusting to eat. - second mistake was ordering the same ingredients as mistake #1 but this time seeing that BACON was included. I can't eat pork, and I had to toss the sandwich in the garbage. Just carelessness all around that can be avoided. I'll go back to Bonjour bagel which is up the street, is a real mom and pop shop, and the staff has never made a mistake on my order. Be better, do better. read more

First time we went (couple months ago), it was fine . This last time, it was crowded and there was not a good system to pick up food orders. We waited a good 20 minutes for one bagel with lox... only to find out that someone else took our order. Had to pick a different bagel. Our friend was told indignantly that it was after 10:00 , as if that was an appropriate thing to say when they were out of the flavor of bagel she wanted. Our other friends had to wait almost an hour for their bagel/breakfast sandwich order. They kept going to the counter to check... and STILL had to wait after the order taker was aware that there was clearly an issue. I was really embarrassed that we suggested going there . read more

The Matcha here is not the best in my opinion and I drink Matcha on the daily. Also, they put way too much ice. More than half of my cup was ice. After 5 min it tasted like watered down milk. read more

This is across the street from the hotel I stay at for my business trips here and it's amazing! Service is always friendly and so fast. Then place is decently busy at 8am and I'm in and out with my coffee and sandwich within 10 minutes! The espresso is delicious and so is the food. I tried a ham egg and cheese and the bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and they are so good!! The atmosphere is cute inside with plenty of seats and a big parking lot in the back! Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! read more

I love this place! Coffee and bagels, what more can a girl ask for?? Coffee with bagels have been my jam lately in the mornings. The menu has a variety of options to choose from and you can create your own which is great so we can customize what we want and don't want. It is pretty expensive but the portion is huge so I feel it's well worth it once in awhile and I'm on the go. The one I usually get is the smoked salmon with avocado, cream cheese, etc., and they hook it up with the smoked salmon slices, it's not just 1-2 slices like some places put. The setting is cute and modern as well. It's a yes for me! read more

I love the aesthetic of this place! It's a huge cafe, with high ceilings. The colors throughout are light wood and white, very minimalistic and a beautiful location. The Iced latte's are to die for, I usually get it added with lavender. I also get a cheddar, bacon, and egg bagel on everything and it's absolute perfection. The prices are great for the product. Friendly staff overall. This is definitely one of my new favorites. read more

This is a great coffee house. They offer great coffee, quality food items, and the best employees and customer service! I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

The place is nice and pretty big. Service was great, she was very helpful. The only reason I gave four stars is because of the amount of latte that was made. It wasn't the full 12oz that I bought. I usually don't finish my lattes so quickly like this one. You can tell from picking up the cup that it wasn't full. Other than that, the drink was tasted good and the ham and cheese croissant was tasty. I'll come back and try another drink sometime. read more

The lack of customer service and professionalism is wiiiiiild. No one ever greets you when you come in. Which is, whatever....I wouldn't have wrote a review over that. But what blew me away today is the girl that came to help me from the back, came out with a mouth full of water, swishing it around in her mouth. Not sure what she was doing, but the entire time she was taking my order she was swishing the liquid around in her mouth. So much so, that she couldn't even ask me any questions or what size I wanted my drink. She literally had to mime and point to the cups behind her and use hand gestures showing "big or small" to ask me what size because she was still swishing the liquid in her mouth...we never had a word during my entire time ordering because she had water or whatever drink in her mouth. It was sooooo freaking bizarre. Lol I've never been to a business anywhere and had that kind of encounter. Rude service is one thing (which they are...literally everyone there has a serious attitude and looks like they couldn't tell you what a smile was if it hit them in the face)...but this was next level unprofessional, and honestly gross. And to top it off, the drink was gross and was gritty...like the powder didn't dissolve and I was drinking chunks of powder. Never ever coming back read more

Service is great and the place is cute but the matcha sucks. tasted like water. and it's pricey.

Tried the new location- super easy, big space- open & welcoming. The girl behind the counter was friendly and welcoming too. Coffee was great, and paired with the bagel & cream cheese perfect! Really liked this location! read more
