Grind Coffee & Bistro — Restaurant in California

I love Grind and go about 1-2 times a week. However, they are so inconsistent with their coffees. I typically order the seasonal drinks so maybe that's why. Lately I've been ordering the Graham Cracker Latte and its hit or miss if they actually put the toppings on the drink. In February, I was ordering the Strawberry Latte and they never actually put pink cold foam on top until my husband asked what the difference was and then they put Strawberry puree of some sort in it for the first time after I had ordered it about 10 times. My husband usually picks up the coffee so he doesnt pay attention. The flavor is also hit or miss. Sometimes it taste amazing and what it's advertised as, other times its bitter expresso with milk. The pumpkin spice latte literally never tasted like pumpkin. When its made right, the coffee is spectacular which is why I keep coming back. Im really shocked no one has mentioned issues with consistency. Their breakfast croissants are also delicious and big enough for my toddler and I to split...

Grind Coffee Shop is truly a gem in California, Missouri! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The coffee is absolutely top-notch—rich, smooth, and brewed to perfection every single time. Their food is just as impressive, with fresh, flavorful options that pair perfectly with their drinks. What really sets Grind apart, though, is the people. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every visit is special. They’re attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about the experience you have. On top of that, the owner is hands-on, approachable, and clearly dedicated to both the customers and the community. It’s rare to find a place where you can feel the passion behind everything they do, but Grind has that in spades.

If you’re looking for a coffee shop that combines amazing drinks, delicious food, and exceptional service, this is it....

I looove the coffee here the maddog is amazing! I also love the sandwiches!! But I wanted to leave a review really quick and give it a bit of a lower rating because I ended up with some cross contamination in my pasta salad. I have a really bad nut allergy and I asked to double make sure that there was nothing in my food. I was reassured that there was no nuts, but a few bites into my pasta salad, I think I found a walnut or something. I just wanted to say something because while the staff is nice, they were a little careless about the nut issue as well as a few other things. My friends wrap wasn't cut in half. And we were not given any forks to eat our pasta salad. No napkins either.

I think I want to just bring to light that I just expect a little bit more.

I will definitely be back! But I wanted other people with allergies to be aware. My tongue is itchy but I...
