Industrial Grind Coffee

This place is great.
Always great coffee and tea, and the staff is super friendly.
We also really appreciate the gluten free treats.

I only had coffee here, so I can’t speak for the pastries (which smelled delicious). The girls behind the counter were very sweet and quick to make my order, so the service was good. But the coffee was terrible. It unfortunately tasted like dirt, which was very disappointing since I love me a cup of black coffee from a local shop. There also isn’t any indoor seating, so don’t come here thinking you can meet a friend for a cozy up of… tea. Or a pastry. But not the coffee.

You really can't ask for a better coffee shop. The only thing better than the coffee is the staff! Add in good food (variety of food restriction options) and full shelves of delicious snacks, coffee beans, mixes and cute decor to buy and you've got yourself a 5 star coffee shop.

A lovely local spot! They make the best lattes with a wide variety of flavor/sweetness options. Super friendly staff and service is speedy. Love that it’s women-owned and operated. :)

This review is long overdue for a place that’s often a highlight of my day. The drinks are consistently good, with my favorite being the badass. They also have great housemade flavor mixes to add to your coffee at home. The best part about Industrial Grind, though, is the staff. Everyone here is so warm and seeing them always brightens my day.

As a response to Shannon’s review, my husband and I were actually the couple that she thought the staff was mocking. They were referencing us talking about our socially awkward dog and how she’s just like us. We know everyone here really well and are totally fine with them laughing about us and our weird pup. Candice, Isabelle, Rivers, and Sara are an amazing crew, led by the awesome owner Crystal, and Industrial is one of my favorite parts of living in Tierrasanta.

Oof -- Just got an Americano here, and it was all right. Definitely not anything to write home about, and not good enough for me to want to come back.

The bad: I came right at closing time, and so some employees in the back thought all customers were gone. They started openly making fun of a pair of customers that just left. Not cool. Be better.

I've been frequenting this little coffee shop for such a long time now, that to write a review now after so many pleasant experiences is a disservice to them.

This is the coffee shop to go to! The staff is friendly, professional, and most of all... the coffee and food is just what you need.

Top it off with absolutely divine hand made chocolate truffles to go with your piping hot cup of joe, and it truly becomes a divine experience. It's not ironic that this establishment exists in Tierrasanta.

Do yourself a favor and whenever you need coffee, a relaxing atmosphere and pleasant conversation, make your way here. No regrets. Ever.

I’ve been here many times and I was going to write a review and read the previous review from “dr mini me” and I just wanna say that I have been greeted kindly every instance I have come into this coffee shop. Even during the peak of their rush hours, the employees greet the customers adequately and put care into making sure every order comes out how it was intended.
I’m gonna direct the reminder of this review to “dr tiny pee pee”: no one cares how much money u make and how much u pay in taxes. From what I read from your review, you come off like an entitled, miserable person and I am toning down my words so that this review doesn’t get taken down. It sounds like the employees u refer to were being courteous and letting you know that your order may take a little while to make given how busy the store was. If you have such a hard time of dealing with people just because you have some absurd expectation of how service workers need to be treating you, maybe do everyone a solid and just make your coffee at home, I’m sure their store will do just fine without your business.
I really recommend this shop to everyone, I usually get quad shot lattes and they make it perfectly every time. The milk is frothed to perfection and has a silky smooth finish, they also have a lot of different flavors from which I’ve tried a few. Highly recommend the Hillcrest, hazelnut, and mocha.

Drinks are way better than Starbucks. The service is very friendly & the food is delicious. Always loom forward to their cupcakes specials. Even the gluten-free treats are good.

Great casual coffee shop with friendly people and delicious drinks!
