Even a loaded parking lot full of car-meet people didnt slow this place down.There was a line, we were five people back and it still took under five minutes to get to the front.The pastries are amazing, I had a raspberry almond shortcake bar and she had a blueberry muffin.The lattes came out so quick and were nice and hot. (Hey, sometimes they arent).You can tell this place has a loyal following and lots of friends and family visiting. I love our local Peets but having a spot like this close to home would likely lead to knowing everyones name and going far more often than is practical.The next event we attend here will be looked forward to with anticipation just because we know they have great coffee and pastry on site and the service is excellent.

Excellent brewed coffee, fabulous pecan cake and the owner offered to heat the tasty chocolate muffin. A personal, kind and caring service. We will be back for sure. Cars & Coffee at its absolute best.🚘☕🍰🇺🇲

Cozy and eclectic. The Coffee Grinder is tucked away in the shopping center but has a nice corner spot where warm sunlight fills the comfortable interior space. The aroma of coffee, pastries, teas and handmade sandwiches greet you at the door. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly and eager to help you. The food is well prepared and delicious. Their selection of coffees is fairly broad, delicious and quickly made to your order. Do yourself a favor and give them a try if you havent already. Youll be glad you did 👍

Small cute place. Very nice staff.

I ordered a skinny soy mocha which was made perfectly and way better than Starbucks. The inside of the shop was beautiful inside and they also had outside seating. Would definitely come here again.

Yummy coffee & food. Staff is very nice & helpful :)

Great local place for coffee and a snack

Best cup of coffee I have had in Tustin! The service was excellent and the owner made you feel welcomed!

5/30/20 A great place to bike to on a Saturday morning, like we did today - & enjoyed the best cafe mocha ever! Not only was the beverage delicious, it was hot like its supposed to be; Pastries fresh & tasty!The proprietors are gracious & so very accommodating!

Good food and service!

Great ice tea, sandwiches and super service, nice atmosphere.

Great coffee, great service. Nice place to chill out and sip your coffee.

Very friendly service and good coffee.

This place has a lovely ambiance, the owner was friendly, and the food tasted great. Highly recommend if you need a coffee or a quick bite to eat.

The Best alternative to Starbucks on every block these days.Way way better coffee !

Great little coffee shop I love stopping in and chatting with the owner. Saturday mornings are a great time to visit if you like cars and coffee.

Thought the space and location was nice and peaceful. The actual shop was pretty small, comfy looking but realized the furniture didn’t make sense, there was high chairs at a booth that had no room to work or place anything. Along with high chairs at a regular table, it was clear anyone who sat there wouldn’t have space to fit their legs. WiFi was nice and fast. Coffee was basic but good. The owners (I believe are the owners) were quietly arguing which made the environment a little awkward.

Love this place. great pastries and fresh coffee.

Awesome fresh food and gourmet coffee

I just love this place great owners and great coffee

I come here for lunch sometimes and Im always happy. Its a cute little shops with a cozy atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and helpful, and its never crowded. Sammies and salads are always fresh.

The coffee was a little weak for my liking. Not over priced and nice outdoor seating.

One of the best cups of coffee in town. Very underrated and definitely worth the stop if you are near by.

Incredible service, the staff really makes you feel at home. Excellent and delicious selection of coffee!

Excellent food, good service in a terrific room. The only significant negative is the vastly expensive wine list. We paid 250 for a Burgundy that retails for 50.

I noticed a customer walking into the store without a mask on. Also noticed another customer inside the store without a mask on. I decided to leave and spend my money somewhere else.

Love the coffee here, the environment is cozy and friendly, the people who work here will remember you, and the prices are fantastic!

Great local coffee shop. The coffee here is so good. Skip Starbucks across the street and head here.

Excellent services and ☕

Wonderful place to kick back and have a cup of coffee

Was in front of Starbucks across the street thinking there HAS to be a better coffee choice - in comes coffee grinder!! Super sweet staff and cozy seating and delicious sweetsGo local!

Great ground espresso...best in the area. Tastes like Im back in Italy once its brewed!

Friendly staff, cozy ambience, and great coffee, all at a great price! 👍🏼😊

I absolutely love their latte on the rocks. Great customer service, free wifi & comfortable places to sit inside & outside.

This has been one of our favorite coffee spots and my mother and I had special talks and walks around the darling specialty boutique shops picking out fun things for home or gifts. Later, my kids played on the little wall and grass while my BFFs and I enjoyed coffee chats. The Coffee Grinder has a great ambience inside and out. Dogs are welcome too!NOW we even opened our new office space across the street! The Crab Cooker and 17th Street Bar and Grill....and of course Zovs are part of the location. See you in the morning!

Great place . Great service and very cozy and warm place .

Cozy, good coffee, never too crowded.

Great service, comfy and good tea and baked goods

Closes a little earlier than other places, but very cute coffee shop.

The owners really care about their business and great coffee.

Great coffee and very cozy feeling when you enter in the cafe.

Fantastic and friendly service along with great coffee and food.

Good coffee a d treats

I had a latte, but the espresso was a tad bitter, surprisingly since the cream should have softened it.

Always a good time! Staff is very friendly.

Consistently good!

Great service, great taste, comfy seats.

Attentive staff

The best coffee place in the OC!!##

Starbucks cant compare

Cute and cozy coffee shop with a European feel to it and great staff. We loved having breakfast here!
