I absolutely love this coffee house. The people that work there are down to earth and the coffee…read moreis some of the best I've had in the valley. I especially like that unlike some places that I've been to where baristas have a snobbish kind of attitude on how they prepare their coffee, At Grind, they will go above and beyond to satisfy the customer and prepare your coffee the way you like it.

Grind Coffee Company BAD CHOICE! NO STARS! WASTE of MONEY!…read more A horrible disappointment! Never again! I was genuinely excited to try the coffee here. I stated to the young lady at the counter that this was my first time patronizing the business and that I was looking forward their offerings. She looked at the other young lady at counter and rolled her eyes and just smirked. I asked her for some recommendations... their signature coffees, what they're known for, and customer favorites. She rolled her eyes again and with a smirk stated that "these are good" as she pointed to a piece of paper with a list of drinks that she pushed across the counter. She didn't make any recommendations, just read this. Noting her dismissive attitude, I just ordered my plain coffee which took almost 10 minutes. I paid for my coffee and went on to my meeting. I took a sip and realized that was not what I ordered. She did not serve me coffee she served some kind of chai nasty tasting mess with almond milk. I had to throw it out. Needless to say the $7.00 would've been better spent somewhere else. I don't feel valued as a customer at this place. I can't take them seriously, if they can't even be courteous enough to listen to the order, and ensure it was right. Such a shame, it truly was a lost opportunity to be welcoming, and willing to take me from first time customer to loyal customer. Failed at delivering an amazing customer service experience. Well as the saying goes, "You get what you paid for", I sure did! There are better places to get a Great cup of coffee... go there instead. Too bad for the owner that this person is the face of the business and a poor representative of the business. I guess we know now what NOT to expect from grind coffee company.

Went in to try their coffee and was blown away by the taste. Very rich in flavor and the ambiance…read more inside the shop is very tranquil. I could stay there all day while reading a book or spending time with family/friends playing chess/checkers as they have plenty of seating and parking. I tried their Caramel Cappuccino, Frappesane & Hazelnut Frappesane. The Frappesane are cold blended with great flavor. Perfect for a pick me up coffee and cold enough for these valley heatwaves. The Caramel Cappuccino definitely hit the spot and their prices are very reasonable compared to corporate coffee shops. He can also accommodate your order for sugar free options. Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. Swing by and support local you won't be disappointed as Alex Vorasane, the owner, makes your order with great conversation. A hidden gem in the RGV.

If you haven't been to Booktānical Cafe, I say this with love: you are missing the soul of the Rio…read moreGrande Valley. This isn't just a coffee shop. It's not just a bookstore. It's not just a flower shop. It's a whole new world. The moment you walk in, the air changes. It smells like espresso and paper and fresh petals. The light pours in gently, brushing against shelves of stories and bouquets that look like they were gathered from some secret garden you only read about as a kid. The vibes? Immaculate. Fantastical. Effortlessly cinematic. The kind of place that makes you want to become the main character of your own life. The coffee isn't rushed. It's made with intention. You taste it. You feel it. It's the kind of cup that makes you pause mid-sip and think, "Okay... yeah. This is it." Pair that with shelves full of stories waiting to be discovered and bouquets that look like they belong in a period drama, and suddenly you don't just want caffeine -- you want to stay. What makes Booktānical special isn't just the aesthetic (though it's flawless). It's the feeling. It invites you to slow down. To sit. To think. To create. To reconnect with that curious, thoughtful part of yourself that everyday life tries to rush past. I've been to coffee shops all over Texas. Trendy ones. Loud ones. "Instagrammable" ones. None of them come close. Booktānical Cafe is, without exaggeration, the best coffee shop in the Rio Grande Valley. And it feels like home. You don't just visit. You linger. You reflect. You walk out carrying more than coffee. That's rare. And that's why it's the best.

So parking is a nightmare. There is no designated parking lot it's just the street parking…read more I ordered the banana latte but they didn't even have banana milk which is the main thing in the drink. They subbed it for syrup and oat milk and the drink was blah. The service is so slow but they do have a paper on most tables saying that this isn't a fast food place so it was going to take time. It took us about 30 mins to get our drinks. My friends got the cucumber boat which was really good but their food came out way before their drinks. We sat at a table that people had just left and their coffee cups were there so we moved them to the side assuming someone would pick them up. They remained there with us for the 2 hrs we were there. I had seen in an earlier review that they asked the people to move 2 times which I thought was crazy.... But I did hear them asking people to move so other people can sit at their table. The atmosphere and vibes are really nice. Loved the book wall. The tables and seating is really cool but it was busy the whole time we were there from 1-3:00.... And people sit for hours. So make sure you're not in a hurry when you come check this place out. I believe they recently opened so I'll probably go back in a couple of months to give them another shot. Also, why does the business not post their drink menu on any of their socials.... what's the big secret.

The menu reminded me a lot of Uliketea, which is a place I've always enjoyed visiting. I found out from one of the team members that it was from the same owners. The ube coffee is sooo good, especially if you add the coffee jelly. It's honestly a must try. We also ordered the strawberry bingsu, which was sweet and refreshing and hit the spot with this Texas weather and perfect for sharing. I came here with my brother-in-law and my sisters, and it was just nice to sit, catch up, and enjoy some milk tea together. I also love that it's in the neighborhood. No need to drive so for into McAllen for good milk tea! I highly recommend the Ube coffee with coffee jelly!!!
