We were in the neighborhood and decided to check them out. They split up It's a Grind Coffee and share ownership with The Pizza Factory. The parking lot was small but we went off hours so there was no issue for us. A good amount of tables/seats to eat there of you are eating their baked goods or happen to get some pizza too. Only one unisex restroom. We stopped into It's a Grind Coffee for their surprise Bag with Bakery items. My wife got 2× chocolate donuts, chocolate Croissant, & a blueberry muffin. My surprise Bag had 2x bagels, a maple old fashioned donut, and a blueberry muffin. My wife knew of the bakery that they source these items from and she likes them. The service was friendly, polite, and very relaxed. Support your local business. read more

Stopped in for a coffee on my way to pickup a friend. Was happy to find them open early. The woman working the register was friendly and efficient. The store was empty of other customers. There is lots of space with a few tables inside. In addition to coffee they do have pastries and other food items. I had a regular latte. $4.99. The flavor was good and the ratio of milk to espresso was perfect. I often get coffee from one of the big name coffee places. This was hands down better tasting than what I get elsewhere. Thanks for helping start my day! read more

I've been meaning to leave this review for some time now, because this establishment is WONDERFUL!!! I started coming here months ago, I frequent it often. Too often sometimes lol It's so incredibly clean, organized, and everyone here are so kind and professional. I drive out oh my way to get my iced coffee almost every day because it's THAT GOOD! If I could give 10 I would! I highly recommend trying It's A Grind Coffee House! It will not disappoint! Thank you everyone who works there; you are all fantastic! read more

Oakland's Grind Coffee House - Iced Vanilla Bean w/ 1 extra shot!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

I really love that there is a neighborhood coffee shop in the area. I come quite often. However, they take it for granted that they are basically the only place in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That means they do not care if your drink is made well or tastes good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On this visit my chai espresso was nasty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They wanted to charge me for a new drink. Because it was my choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So beware. $8 wasted!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The female barista could be a little more pleasant to her customers. I had one customer I front of me and the girl kept a scowl on her face the whole time and was just plain unpleasant. I tipped her anyways and not even an acknowledgment after thanking her. I guess this is what happens when all of the coffee shops are closed in the area( no Starbucks,Peet's or mom and pops for miles). I'll just go to Walgreens to get an energy drink next time. Cheaper, more polite and no request to tip! read more

Oakland's Grind Coffee House - Watered down Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Ordered an iced white mocha and a regular iced mocha and both were delicious. White mocha is more sweet and in your face, whereas the regular chocolate mocha is more subtle and the taste blends in with the chocolate notes of the espresso shots. My preference is the regular iced mocha if I had to choose. Service was excellent! I also saw a unhoused person come in asking for iced water, and the woman at the register got him a large iced water with a smile, which was refreshing to see. Sometimes they get chased away, or refused service, so bonus points for being welcoming to all. I'll be back to try their breakfast burritos which look really good, and the cold brew too. read more

I would've never walked in here on my own, but my sister lives close by and I was at her house so we decided to make a visit on a Sunday morning. It was bustling with lots of customers. I like that they have food options too. The interior is ok, seems a little worn. Most people were there for take out, doesn't seem like a comfortable place to sit and work, but it might be different during the week. We all ordered the same drink: iced white mocha. There are two sizes and the medium or smaller size is huge. The prices are higher than your chain Starbucks or Peets, but it's a small business trying to make it. The drink was really good and not too sweet, like how I like my coffee. The customer service was decent. I'd make another visit if I was in the area again. I love supporting small businesses. read more

On the road again! I pass this place all the time going down Seminary Ave, and the parking lot looked full so I didn't stop. Well, it wasn't too busy this morning so I parked and flipped thru my apps for promos. I had a choice between $10 off for pickup order from Grubhub (+), or 30%-off from the Seamless app. So I place my pre-order and then go in and pick it up. The outside looks like a "cookie cutter" shop, but the inside is spacious, bright and colorful. I don't usually review coffee shops, because I order the same thing all the time. I get a Cafe Latte. Today I decided to try their Bagel Hotdog and a chocolate donut. So how was it? The Cafe Latte was ok. It wasn't really strong, but it was hot. The Bagel Hotdog was a hotdog sealed inside a bagel. Probably freshly zapped in a microwave. The chocolate donut was very good. The chocolate coating was creamy and smooth. They got good donuts. They say Americans are the only people who eat and drive. Hey, we got stuff to do, and a short time to do it! It's A Grind Coffee House is a good place to grab coffee and snacks when you're on the road. read more

Stopped in here hoping to just hang out having a coffee and bite, catching up my my latest New Yorker. Turned out to be the perfect place. It was a Sunday early afternoon and I was happy that the comfy chairs were available. I ordered a cappuccino and a breakfast burrito. Even though I ordered for here, all orders are served to go; not an issue at all, just an observation. The cappuccino was good. The espresso had a good kick to it. The breakfast burrito ($7.95) was excellent. It seemed fresh made. It's a great value for its size (easily two meals for me). I really liked that it had plenty of pico de gallo and green chilies in it. I got it without meat. One thing I found interesting is that one of the meat choices was turkey (not turkey sausage, turkey meat). I really liked the diversity of customers. I was able to park in the lot but it is pretty packed. The only reason for the 4- stars is that the staff wasn't friendly or welcoming. read more

I had a 50% off coupon. I placed my order and presented the coupon. They were unfamiliar with that type of coupon (via Tmobile Tuesday) and hadn't seen it before. They thought it was possibly an online order type thing. Idk, but they gladly redeemed it. Which I appreciated. The service was very good. It seems like they have a great rapport their regular customers. I ordered the blended matcha. It was excellent. read more

I went here for the first time and got a matcha! I prefer my matchas on the sweeter side so I ordered with an extra pump and vanilla. I think their matcha is probably made to be sweet already so I don't think I needed that extra pump but enjoyed it otherwise. The service was good, quick as there was no line. The ambiance was nice and clean, although I think they may currently be under construction or expanding? Not too sure. read more

It's a Grind has an amazing atmosphere that is perfect for studying or just hanging out with friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved their Funky Monkey and will definitely be returning to try their Hawaiian sea salt drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think that everyone should give this place a try. read more

Surprisingly good. I just figured it was gonna be some kinda weird dump like, I dunno, Dumpin' Donuts (or Hortons for you Canadians). It had a chain-y feeling, and who knows, it might be a chain? If only there were some way to do a quick search and find out... Oh well, guess we'll never know! But I digress - I got some sorta Hazelnutty Beverage. It tasted nutty. I like nuts. Recently I've been eating a lot of Brazil nuts. Okay, not a lot, ~2/day. My better half has me some some sort of Super diet so we can make a Super Baby, I guess those stupid nuts have a lot of Selenium which does something? I don't know and I don't care, I just eat them. She's happy. I'm happy. As I get older the saying, "Happy Wife, Happy Life" becomes more and more relevant. It's so true! All ya gotta do is shut up and say, "Hell yeah babe, you're right. Now I'm gonna go hit the slopes and shred some gnar." Cuz that's all we boiz wanna do - WE. WANNA. SHRED. THE. GNAR. Girls just wanna have fun. Boiz just wanna shred gnar. I'll probably never be back, cuz I am never in this area, nor do I ever want to be back in this area. But if YOU'RE in the area, it's worth a stop. Tschau meine Liebe! :D read more

I go here all the time. Good service and the iced coffee is the best. They also have a variety of pastries and breakfast items that are pretty good. They're fast too read more

I rarely give yelp reviews, but this one deserves five star for amazing customer service, and food. I came to this place a few times, and they have never failed to impress me with their great service. I usually order their white chocolate mocha, and that is by far the best drink I ever had. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a cozy and homey spot to enjoy coffee, drinks, and pizza! read more

Thanks to the "Shanghai Kid," Lisa and I found this place near the shopping plaza. He was right, not too much parking out front but we were lucky and it wasn't crowded. Pretty spacious inside the shop, so there's lots of area to be socially distant from other customers. Pleasantly surprised with food items available, so we got a little something for "Aunty Jojo" who was standing at the front door. I loved the matcha green tea latte with oat milk. Warm, tasty, had a hint of saltiness at the last sip :) Lisa thoroughly enjoyed her coconut crunch coffee too. Super reasonable as well. In addition to snacks and bagged coffee beans, you may also purchase cute mugs. All types of fun statements but we liked the mug that said "Celebrate." Enjoying Oakland, November 7, 2020! read more

I love my neighborhood It's A Grind coffee shop and soon to come pizza! The ingredients are always fresh and so are their pastries. Today I had a Strawberry Banana smoothie with a bagel which was toasted to perfection with just the right amount of butter and cream cheese. Parking is convenient just lock your car. The entrance is HC accessible. They also take calls and Door Dash orders so you may have to wait a few minutes for your order but it's a nice vibe so I don't mind. read more

This hidden gem was a delight. I love that the ice isn't the huge cubes! You can taste the espresso. The chai is full of flavor. The staff is friendly. And my order came so quick that they walked it out to where I was sitting with my son. So happy to finally have had a chance to stop by. This may be my regular Wednesday AM stop rather than the mad houses of Starbucks or Peet's. Leaving with coffee in hand and feeling super chill! What better way can you start your morning routine? UPDATE: To minutes later after only a drinking an 8th of my drink, I'm starting to feel the jitters! That only means that- IT DEFINITELY IS SOME STRONG COFFEE! Yeah! read more

Normally love this place, but tonight the girl working decided to clean up 30 minutes before closing. I went out of my way to get here after work. She said she could make me a smoothie or tea but not any coffee because she specifically cleaned the expresso machine... like what girl, you know this is a coffee place right? If you want to be lazy and clean up before closing, maybe start with sweeping/organizing and wait to clean the one machine that you need to make coffee, at the actual end of your shift. If it was 5-10 min to closing I would have understood more but even then, you're supposed to work until the end of your shift. Cleaning afterward, while a part of the job, is supposed to happen post closing. If you can't handle that then get a job you are willing to do. It's worth pointing out though that the owner and whoever usually manages/works (I think he's a relative or close family friend) are always great. read more

Love all their drinks at such a reasonable price. SOOOOO juicy and refreshing. I love their ice lemon green or black tea, really quenching and I love the ice they have inside. Also the fact that the tea isnt too sweet and taste more like tea is a plus! read more

Firs time visit to this location, it was a recommendation on Google maps. The drinks were great, I liked the food too. The service was upbeat. I got a bagel and a cappuccino. The price was reasonable, not too expensive. When I showed up, it wasn't hard to park either. So that's always a plus. I'm sure I'll be returning in the future. read more

The coffee shop manager is rude, makes a lot of assumptions about customers and makes up her own rules. I pay for an entertainment coupon and she said I cant use it as its one per customer. When you pay for the coupon from entertainment, its says one per "visit" and $5 off entire order max. She first tried to deny it. Then said $2 max because owner said. She said you use T-Mobile tuesday and I see you but last time i was here was like 1.5 months ago... for real bad attitude read more
