Oakland's Grind Coffee House
2521 Seminary Ave, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“This approachable Oakland spot nails the fundamentals with reliably solid espresso drinks and kind baristas who make ordering feel effortless, whether you're grabbing a quick americano or settling in to linger over your cup. Beyond the coffee, their fresh avocado toast and expanding food program (including pizza) have made it a genuine neighborhood gathering place with easy parking and a cute interior that punches above its strip mall location. It's the kind of place where you don't need to overthink your order—just show up, get something good, and enjoy the welcoming vibe.”

The avocado toast is so fresh! The staff here is also very kind and welcoming. Come here for a quick breakfast or a quick snack 💐✊🏽🩷
Honestly love this place. Coffee is always good and the baristas are really nice. Easy go-to spot when I don’t feel like overthinking my order.
Got me an iced matcha latte- pretty good and refreshing jst a bit sugary for my liking. The barista was good, I got my drink at a reasonable time and the price is a lil pricey for a small matcha latte (around 6 bucks). There were a few clean tables and seats as it's a small space (around1-2 in each group), thr noise is alright. They got free wifi, jst ask for the password😁 8/10.
I liked it better when it was just a coffee shop. However the pizza business is booming. It a plus for the complex known as Seminary point. Especially since Walgreens closed. They were the supposed anchor when the complex was proposed. Mismanaged from concept.
I didn’t try the food but the americano I had was good and well priced. It’s in an unassuming strip mall location but it has a cute interior and plenty of parking.
