Crema's Take
“It's A Grind has a solid following for its signature spiced drinks like ginger chai and creative specialty lattes, plus solid pastries and breakfast, but the 3.8 rating reflects real inconsistency—some visitors praise the cleanliness and friendly service, while others report sticky floors, order mix-ups, and spotty execution. The experience seems to depend heavily on when you visit and who's working that day. If you're in San Leandro and want pastries and a casual sit-down spot, it's worth trying once, but don't expect reliability.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

STAY AWAY!!! I recently had a truly unpleasant experience at this restaurant both personal and from insiders... From the moment I stepped inside, the place was a mess. The floors were sticky, and the tables hadn't been wiped down properly. Not to mention, you are greeted with…
