    Cute cafe! Ordered latte with oat (yum), cappuccino (also tasty but prefer their latte). Friendly service. Clean indoors with some own local merchandise (sweaters, mugs, cards, coffee...) for sale--love that. Have pastries for sale too but did not try. Ample seating indoors. Nice pit stop after Pilates across the street :)

    The Vibe There's nothing I love more than a slow Saturday morning, and Local Grind Coffee understood the assignment. I drive by this place all the time and never realized it's bigger and more modern inside than you'd expect. It's clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed, with cute merch and windows all around. I loved sitting there and just watching the traffic pass by. It was Valentine's Day, and they had an old-school R&B playlist playing, which really elevated the vibe. What I Ordered I came in knowing exactly what I wanted: an almond croissant and an iced chai. The croissant was solid, warm, and flaky like it's supposed to be. The iced chai with almond milk was a little on the sweet side, but still really good and I finished it happily. The Service The service was the real standout. This was my first visit, and the guy behind the counter was genuinely welcoming. Not forced, not scripted. When I mentioned it was my first time, he upgraded the size of my drink, which was such a cute little touch. He also signed me up for their rewards program and let me know my 12th drink is free. Friendly, thoughtful, and a great first impression all around. Final Thoughts Excellent experience from start to finish. This is the kind of neighborhood coffee shop that makes you want to come back, sit a little longer, and make it part of your routine. I'll definitely be back.

    This quiet coffee cafe sits on a corner with parking in a small lot behind the building (I never saw signage saying the lot was for Local Grind but I'm assuming it's okay). The interior has a dozen tables and the vibe is quiet and minimalistic in the decor department. I found the workers, both the person taking orders and the barista, to have personalities reflecting the weather that day - gloomy. I ordered off the seasonal menu on the wall, a hot gingerbread latte, and chose a cinnamon roll (yes, heated please). After five minutes my order was ready. There was one open table with a single chair that I grabbed. The gingerbread latte was pretty darn good. It really did taste like gingerbread with a little spice to it. After drinking half of it I realized the flavor was getting bolder so I stirred it up to even out the taste (looked like whatever they used to flavor the drink was settling in the bottom of the cup). The cinnamon roll was above average with an emphasis on the cinnamon (yay!) although the outer ring of the roll was a bit tough. Probably a 3.5 experience that I'm rounding up. As an aside, I noticed they sell day-old bagels for a dollar in a basket at the counter! I didn't get one myself but they looked good.

    Such a chill vibe. We came in around 9am on a Sunday mooring and there was only one other person there. The staff was friendly and the drinks were delicious, we'd definitely come back.

    Chocolate chip cookie
    Joe I.

    Great coffee and tasty chocolate chip cookies. I got a 24oz Iced Hazelnut Latte with Oat Milk which will give me lots of energy before taking my 3 year old to a picnic. Inside is roomy with plenty of seating. There is also a back door in the parking lot. Service and pricing are reasonable.

    I had heard this place wasn't the best for coffee but I wanted to give it a try. $8.75 before milk sub and it's very watery; you can't taste the coffee at all. Place is cute inside but coffee was a let down.

    First time visitor supporting local!

    Local spot in Los Alamitos to try for the first time by the Fairmont and Ganahl Lumber area Street and private parking and appears to have a front and back access entrance Aesthetically spacious clean functional pleasing to the eye vaulted ceilings, plenty of tables and chairs and really liking the nook in the front entry way Large selections of bagels look like around 10 but not housemade and for $3 a pop but they do sell day old bagels for reasonable cost and other baked treats and sandwiches Hot Chai and hazelnut, solid 8/10 Hearty soothing comfort Not overly sweet or overpowering I'm not sure if it's oat milk that is used but makes a difference in taste in a good way Cinnamon sugar bagel not overly sweet easily shareable and still tasty with a good crunch both hot and room temperature, would certainly get again! Tasty on its own without any spread. Pricing standard nothing to outlandish? I take this over Starbucks for sure! And opening at 6am is a win! Friendly service / attentive / multi tasking with patrons Cost for both items $8.45 Seems like a good spot to study journal hangout with pals date night chill and get some work done Certainly will return to taste more!

    Turkey sandwich no pickles
    Katheryn S.

    My post workout treat coffee , vanilla latte with 1 pump vanilla only is good. Nothing crazy but pretty standard and doesn't need extra shots or anything to be good. Tried their turkey sandwich today. Was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. When I first saw it I thought it might have too much tomato pesto, but it's actually amazing. The only downside is i wish it was bigger for the price , or cheaper because of the size. This sandwich was $15. On the other hand it's about the same price as Panera so I don't mind paying it. Service has been pretty good to me so far

    Warmed up cookie
    Stephanie G.

    The cookie was so warm and delicious!!!! The bagel was amazing, I got it with cheddar and jalapeños. The iced white mocha was my favorite. I've never had raspberry foam before and I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time! Parking was easy to find, they have parking right behind the store. The ladies were wonderful and nice, they were cleaning and keeping the store sparkly clean!

    We are always so impressed with The Meat Company! The quality of their meat is truly superior --…read moreeverything we've purchased has been incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. One of our favorite purchases was a prime rib we pre-ordered for Christmas dinner. It was mouthwatering and perfectly seasoned, and it came beautifully wrapped and ready to go. All I had to do was pop it in the oven, which made hosting so much easier. Being able to pre-order prime rib and other cuts for holiday meals or dinner gatherings is such a huge convenience. Another one of our absolute favorites is their burgers. They are so delicious and beautifully mixed with a prime selection of meats -- you can truly taste the quality in every bite. They are always juicy, flavorful, and perfect for grilling. They also make deli sandwiches that are so good and full of flavor! Everything is made with care, and you can really tell they take pride in what they offer. On top of all that, their customer service is outstanding. The staff is always friendly, fast, and extremely helpful. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality meat, incredible prepared foods, and exceptional service!

They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

And boy did they grow up. They've blown out the menu the inclusion plethora of item other than hot dogs! The BBQ ribs I had were more than acceptable. Not Wood Ranch or Sweet Lou's but enjoyable! My son said his Chicago Dogs were still second to none and my wife got a hamburger that she claims was 'OK', and my daughter in law got a chicken sandwich she really liked. So overall it was a success. You can't rate the service because there is none. You order at a window, pick it up when ready from said window, and clean up after yourself ... unless you're a jerk.

I have a witness who saw me bite into the sandwich, and the hair was wrapped inside the deli meat as it came out. By coincidence, I also have a home security camera that captured the moment. The hair did not come from my head--it had a blonde tone from end to end, unlike my own. You also stated that I received an item for free because it supposedly didn't ring up. That is simply incorrect. My card statement shows that I was charged for both items. I understand that you've been in business for 26 years, and that's commendable. However, every business can make a mistake. What surprised me most wasn't finding the hair--it was your decision to publicly accuse a customer of fabricating the experience instead of acknowledging that errors can happen. My review reflects exactly what happened. Rather than attacking my credibility and integrity a better response would have been to address the issue professionally and focus on making sure it doesn't happen again. Do better.
