Ground Up Coffee — Restaurant in Montebello

Overall: 7/10. This coffee place is pretty good. I would recommend going here if you like good coffee and relaxed vibe.

Cappucino: 7/10. Their cappucino is pretty good. Their coffee machine seems to be top-notch. I just wish their coffee was a little more creamy and intense. Just to let you know that my 7/10 is pretty high). I rate Starbucks cappucino 3/10, Blue Bottle cappucino as 8/10, and my own espresso machine cappucino as 9/10 and 10/10 probably doesn't exist in this world.

Service: 8/10. Nice guy at the counter. My cappucino was ready swiftly. No wait. I just wish he could smile a bit. However, I respect seriousness and professionalism.

Interior: 6/10. Simple. Nice, relaxed vibe. Everything you need is there. Cool mural on their wall. They even have a terrace (facing a super busy street, tho). I like it, but... a little empty inside. Would be nice. Their chairs are basic plastic chairs with a lack of character. I wish they had a bar counter (or a long narrow table) at the center, with bar stools.

Prices: 8/10. Just right. Small good cappucino is $4.50. That seems kinda correct price nowadays.

Extra point: They have really nice reaxing music inside. Playing The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan and Etta James is always a big...

I’ve been seeing their drinks all over social media and since I love checking out new coffee spots on my days off, I was really looking forward to trying this place. It seemed like they put a lot of love into what they do, and I got the vibe that they’re really trying to grow their business and make sure everything they serve is high quality. I ordered an iced chai tea latte, and I’m just gonna be real—I wasn’t a huge fan. It tasted pretty watered down, more like spicy milk than a balanced chai. I could kind of taste the tea and spices, but not as much as I expected. The vibe inside the shop felt a little off too… the people behind the counter seemed a bit distant, which made the experience feel less welcoming than I hoped(i understand they’re most definitely tired from their busy days just stating my experience) I really liked the way the place was decorated. The little library nook was super cozy, and the outdoor area with all the plants was beautiful perfect for just chilling out for a bit. I just wish my first visit had gone a little differently Who knows maybe I’ll go back and try...

Nice little place to stop by for a coffee or tea and some treats if you're a little hungry.

They don't have a big selection of drinks but what they do have tastes great! You can tell they spend their time and focus making the drinks, which is why they taste so good.

The location is small, perfect for you to relax, read or have a conversation with a friend. They have an outside patio where you can enjoy your drink while feeling the breeze. There is "20 minute" parking at the front of the coffee shop if you're getting to go, or they have parking at the back of the shop if you're planning a longer stay. They also have a selection of books you can borrow if you feel like taking a small reading trip with your coffee.

They do get busy at times so just be prepared to wait in line. It's no big deal, just sit down and relax or grab a book.

If you're looking for a nice chill spot to sit down and enjoy your coffee or just some coffee to go, I...
