Alloura was great! So kind, so patient and helpful. We're visiting from PB and have a favorite way to order our coffee. Alloura was very accommodating to us. We could tell she loves her job and taking care of customers. Thanks again!

Basic run of the mill local hipster vibe coffee shop. But ironically sells alcohol and food. Though my purchase was that of cold brew coffee, the quality I was given was superb to say the least. Busy was the server but fast she was.

Grind House Coffee is a fantastic coffee shop with excellent coffee and friendly baristas. The atmosphere is laid-back and chill, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Their coffee, which I believe comes from the Northwest, is rich and flavorful, though I can’t quite recall the brand. Seating is somewhat limited, but they offer small cafe tables and bar counter seating. One of my favorite things about this place is how pet-friendly they are—my Frenchie, Bella, always gets a complimentary pup cup with a little dog treat on top! Beyond great coffee, they also have a kitchen serving delicious breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and a selection of lunch options. Another highlight is their community board, where locals can post about upcoming events and advertise services like dog walking or music lessons. What really sets them apart, though, is their pricing. Coffee can be so overpriced these days, but Grind House Coffee offers some of the best prices in downtown Chula Vista. Their drinks and food are very reasonably priced, making it an even better place to visit regularly. Overall, it’s a welcoming and cozy spot that I always enjoy visiting!

Great local spot with a relaxed vibe. A few people were hanging out, enjoying their coffee and the atmosphere. The baristas were excellent they made me a cappuccino with just the right kick. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Great vibes, open air seating whether inside or outside it felt very open. The staff were very friendly and their menu was very versatile! They have all different flavors of coffee, plus matcha, & teas. Everything was delicious. The Matcha is very light and not sweet at all so I needed some simple syrup in mine. The deluxe grilled cheese had multiple cheeses and bacon! The breakfast sando was delicious and had a sauce with a kick! I will definitely come back again!

Cavity recommend enough! Sometimes you go to a coffee shop that is aesthetically pleasing, but the quality suffers, sometimes the atmosphere is trendy AND the quality is there but you have to deal with pretentious or rude baristas, rarely is the atmosphere immaculate with high quality coffee and friendly, welcoming baristas; so happy Grindhouse falls into this last category! The environment is trendy and hip, the food and coffee quality is excellent and the staff are so welcoming and kind. Highly, highly recommend this place!

I really like this spot. It’s quaint, aesthetically quirky, and the staff is exceptional. It’s smack dab in the middle of Third Avenue, making it a great stop on your way to other events, or a nice place to chill for a while and work or chat with friends. The coffee here is so good. Super flavorful, perfectly acerbic, has a great finish. I especially like their lattes. Grindhouse is a must-try when you’re hanging out in Chula Vista! Update: Came by today around 3:30pm and ordered an Arnold Palmer and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The Arnold Palmer was your regular Arnold Palmer, but was refreshing and enjoyable. The sandwich was really nice! The bun was high-quality, the egg was thick and tasty, and the aioli on it had a nice consistency and kick. I want to come back soon and try a few other espresso drinks.

Great place to have a delicious cup of coffee, but their service and atmosphere are the cream on top. They have good music playing at the perfect volume, so you can actually have a conversation...sometimes with the friendly baristas.
