    Snickerdoodle iced latte
    Jose M.

    On one particular morning, we wanted to try out a new coffee shop. Some coworkers had been talking about The Grind Coffee House, so we decided to give it a try. When I got there, the dining area was pretty full, and you could tell it's a place where people like to spend time hanging out with friends over coffee. The atmosphere felt lively and welcoming. They had a lot of coffee options, with various syrups and milk choices, plus a small selection of pastries. I went with a snickerdoodle iced latte, while my wife tried an iced peanut butter latte. To be honest, the coffee itself wasn't too impressive for me--it even tasted a bit watered down once the syrup was added. Maybe it was just my drink choice, and I'd be open to trying something different next time. That said, the customer service was great. Everyone was friendly, and our order was fulfilled promptly, which definitely made the experience better overall.

    Two small drinks and two sandwiches took over 30 minutes -- with seven employees behind the counter. The delay wasn't due to being busy, but to staff spending more time chatting than working. On top of the wait, the drinks weren't good. Won't be back. I'll stick with Six Beans Coffee Co., where service is fast, friendly, and the quality is consistently excellent.

    Breakfast Croissant Sandwich with turkey, egg, and mozzarella cheese

    I was in the Apple Valley area getting some check-ins done. The Grind made my day so I decided to offer my support and patronage. At first sight, I saw tons of outside patio seating with music playing through some speakers. I said cool! Upon entry, it felt very warm and welcoming with some nostalgia. Maybe it was the wood decor. Loungers, tables, and chairs were available inside. I loved the country like ambiance! I had lost my voice recently so it was hard for me to speak, but I did my best. This was my first time here so I didn't know what they offered. By the looks of the menu, it's a coffee/tea/sandwich shop with hot/cold drinks, breakfast items, pastries, and snacks. I chose the breakfast sandwich with turkey, egg, and cheese croissant. You have a choice of different meats, cheese, and bread... it's like "build your own" sandwich the way you like it. That's flexibilty! Sweet! The lady behind the register recommended medicine ball (I think it comes with mint, lemon, honey, tea) to help soothe the throat. I gave it a try. It was really warm and soothing. Thank you miss! My croissant was very tasty. Good portions of turkey. Eggs were a little runny just perfectly cooked. Cheese was melty and stringy just the way I like it. However, the presentation of the croissant was not the greatest. It was a little flat. No big deal, but just a little surprised. I'm used to plump croissants not flatten ones... that's all LOL. I ate out in the patio seating area on a clear sunny day. Overall, it was a nice and pleasant visit. I would come back again. Thank you The Grind!!!

    This was my second time here. The space is clean, the baristas are friendly and it seems like a great place to study, read or catch up with friends. Their pastries are good, I ordered a chocolate muffin for my son and a banana muffin for myself. I love that they have kids size drinks. My only critic is that their coffees are SO sweet. I kindly asked them if they can remake my coffee as it was way too sweet for me. They were very nice and accommodating and made me a new drink. That drink was just as sweet, it tasted like I was drinking syrup and milk. It just wasn't my preference. If you love sweet coffees then you'll love their lattes. I would come back, but next time I would ask for suggestions on a not-so-sweet coffee.

    I came to visit family and found this shop while out and about! The employees are so nice and had great recommendations, when i wasn't sure what to try. there was so many options of drinks and food, i ended up getting something new everytime! Wished I lived closer during school because it would be such a cute place to study in!

    Had a bagel with Swiss, turkey, and egg & the strawberry cobbler bar, both were very delicious. The staff is very helpful and helping decide what to order, and they will bring your order to you whether you're standing, sitting or waiting outside. I went at 11 AM and it was pretty busy, lots of people sitting and hanging out, there is also outside seating as well. Lots of homemade knickknacks to purchase. The Grind has a very cozy feel with friendly staff and customers.

    Seattle freeze with oreos and a blended vanilla latte with oreos. However, you can see the color difference

    What happened to this place? Used to come here more often. Come Sept 2025, told that management changed in July and my points disappeared. The shift lead, Bri, took the order and said I newly signed up, but the last time I was here whuch was after July, my points were still showing up. I ordered a blended vanilla latte with oreos and which clearly did not have oreos. I ordered another drink with oreos and compared the two. I showed Bri and the guy who made it and they laughed and they were gossiping about the situation before they came to the counter. They remade my drink but it was even worse, it wasn't blended well and they forgot to add the espresso pictured below. What happened to friendly staff? The current staff are immature and don't take accountability for their actions. Terrible service and drinks. They didn't deserve the tip I gave them.

    An ice cream shop named after the constitutional amendment that ended Prohibition? Um...Yes!…read more With a theme like that, I had to try the apple whiskey ice cream while I was in Apple Valley. When did Apple Valley get hip? The cookies-and-cream scone made for a great breakfast, the owners were incredibly friendly, and they even sell used kids' books for 50 cents. If I lived nearby, I'd probably set up my laptop there for remote work and slowly make my way through the rest of the menu. Shoutout to 21st Amendment Creamery and Bakery.

    Super super stoked to have found this gem in the desert!! It's so inviting!!…read more Not only do they have an assortment of delicious treats, sweets and bread, but they have sodas and coffee! It was really hard for me to choose what to get, but I went with coffee cake (after looking at other reviews), blueberry and cheese danish, cookies and cream scone and a carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting. So far I've only eaten the coffee cake while I've been enjoying the outdoor seating area and the ambience and the coffee & coffee cake were enough to make me want to leave a solid review!! Everything is affordable and I can't remember the last time I truly felt that way in recent times. Come support this local business and feel the value of your dollar for yourself and your community. They have lots of board games inside and books for sale, some for only 50 cents! I can't wait to come back with my kids for their ice cream and check out one of their trivia nights. They said they post their events on instagram! I am so pleased!! Love a good local business!! It makes my heart happy!! We have enough soulless corporations and chains

    HIGH DESERT OMG this place is amazing!!! It might look crazy…read morebecause it's inside of a gas station but it's definitely worth a try!! I also seen a drive thru so that can be beneficial if you don't wanna go inside. The portions of the food are so big here you can literally share. The chicken was so good it wasn't dry, wasn't undercooked or overcooked, and seasoning/crispiness was just right! FYI get the Holy Cluck seasoning. Don't get me started on how amazing the service was, Bryson one of the owners was so nice and kind to me and my husband! No one here was rude which was a plus. Give it a try! Promise you won't be disappointed.

    Our first visit was amazing ! We couldn't wait to go back!…read more Our first visit was close to closing time. We ordered the mild chicken strips because we had the grandson with us. Food was delicious and fresh. After a long day out we decided to eat here again and try the HOLY CLUCK TENDERS. Ughh just Ughhhh As much as we wanted to LOVE this place I have to say how disappointed we are and won't be going again. Our order: 3 piece Holy Cluck Tenders Mac and cheese Tater tots. Holy Cluck mozzarella sticks Coke Zero Kudos for the Coke Zero! Tater tots were okay Mac and cheese was delicious and better than the first visit. Seemed more fresh than what we got later in the evening the first time. Here's where our meal went downhill. Mozzarella Sticks were completely dusted with white sugar! It tasted and looked more like a churro than anything savory. So much so it was inedible. After picking one up, our fingers were covered in the sugar, dipped it into the marinara sauce thinking it would help but was equally awful. If your thing is having fried cheese for dessert, more power to you. Now the spicy tenders... More churro sugar covered the chicken. Took a bite and felt like I was chewing sand. The sugar coating was thick, sweet and gritty. So disappointed. Dessert chicken isn't our thing. Chicken and cheese sticks went straight to the trash. The Hawaiian rolls were delicious! We won't be going back.

The place was dead but it was a weird time I guess. I got the Slim Italian (5 I think) and the guy made absolutely sure I understood that it was just bread, meat and cheese which was fine with me, because I can read menus, but I guess they get complaints from the illiterati. I think the bread was a little smaller than the usual size for sandwiches but I am not certain about that. Overall I'd say even plain it was a very good sandwich; the meat held its own (that's why I got the Italian - turkey or something would've been boring plain) and the bread. The bread. I've heard a lot of people say they don't like JJ's bread; after trying it, I respond that I'm very sorry that their crackpipe tragically shattered all over their mouth and tongue, scarring them and rendering them permanently without taste, because that is literally the only reason a person would not like this bread. The bread was DELICIOUS. Pillowy, yeasty, fresh tasting, not like the garbo at subway at all. My mom thinks it's too chewy, but I don't get that at all - I like my bread with some substance! Anyway. Someday I will go back and have a full proper sub. And I bet it'll be good.

This time, the cashier asked the chef if there was any chicken left for the Chickenator Fries. He said "yes," went to the freezer and showed her a frozen stick of ground chicken. Albeit, the ground chicken was seasoned well and tasted good; I was just expecting chicken breast meat. Also, the fries were very dark in my portion. They are still the same creamy textured Kennebec potatoes as before but seemed tired and old. Service was okay. They are not really set up for cash sales anymore since there was only 36 cents in their till for change at the time. Dining areas were clean but the interior is due for an update.
