This has got to be the best matcha latte I've had in the valley 👌👌 Owner is super friendly, there are multiple rooms to use their wifi, and the place is super cute/cozy. I wish I lived closer, I would be here ALL the time!

Very neat little cafe, good tasting coffee and very friendly staff and they give a generous discount for service members. There’s room to chill and office space for rent.

If you like spending time out for a morning coffee, this is a nice cozy spot for hanging out. There’s different rooms to hang out at to enjoy your coffee and cinnamon rolls. The coffee is great, it’s not typical brewed hot pot coffee.

I stopped by The Grind Café today looking for a good cup of coffee and a nice atmosphere to get some work done. The service at the counter was excellent—the staff member was very welcoming and even explained how they share the space with other local businesses. In the back, there’s a quiet area that’s perfect for working or studying, as well as another room with stylish décor, a cozy couch, and small tables that make it feel very inviting. Overall, it’s a great spot to enjoy coffee, relax, or be productive. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. To

This place is absolutely incredible!!! Friendly service, delicious drinks and even better food. I ordered their signature French toast shaken espresso with oat milk and a chorizo burrito with both green and red salsa. I cannot get over how amazing both items are!! Found this place on a wimp, and will definitely be coming back when I’m in the area.

Found this awesome little shop while out looking for a new home. After I walked in the door I immediately wanted to love close by so I can stop here and get my coffee everyday. The French Toast Shaken espresso blew my mind and was the best!!! Definitely will be back, today and many days after!! I fell in love with this place and I think everyone that tries it, will as well!!!

Brand new coffee cafe in El Mirage! It's called The Grind Cafe and it's part of The Station, which will feature a few different business and spaces to be rented out. This used to be the El Mirage fire station which is so cool! I really enjoyed my latte, but they also have breakfast items, cinnamon rolls, and more. Everyone was so nice and friendly! I highly suggest checking them out.

Let Monique's delicious coffee and space bring an extra jolt to your day! Inspired by entrepreneurial spirit, the menu is full of tasty drinks to motivate your hustle. Monique will make sure your drink is just right for you and the size never skimps with a 24oz for all. Her kindness and uplifting personality will make you want to stay and chat, but there's plenty of space to sit and work or just sip and enjoy. Every drink I've seen so far is delish. I spent the day with a group of friends, enjoying chatting with each other and Monique. We ordered the seasonal Horchata latte, hustle hazelnut coffee and money mocha - all amazing. If you're feeling peckish, a local baker delivered fresh baked treats to try. You can pop in a new or favorite record in the funky 70's space, so music lovers stop by! There are rental spaces available for entrepreneurs as well - hair, makeup, artists, photo, realty, you name it! Rentals are available for events, too. Talk with the owner and see what she can do for you. First responders, you're welcome to a discount in and out of uniform (with ID) as an ode to "The Station" it previously was. This space is amazing; I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy! Support local!

Let me tell you about the cutest, tastiest local coffee shop I came across today in El Mirage. The Grind Cafe is located in The Station Business Suites. Today I walked in and was greeted by Chey. (Hopefully spelled it right) She was so friendly and we got to talk quite a bit. She stated the shop’s been here for about a year . I don’t know how I missed it, but I’ll be back often now that I know. I told her my love of cold brew and she offered me a sample of both their regular and Nitro. She said the Nitro has said to be liked more by their customers. I agree. It was so smooth. The regular had a tiny acidity to it, but not bad. Her customer service was awesome. I ordered one with vanilla cold foam and a tad sf vanilla. They only offer one size in drinks. I also went opposite of my usual and ordered a French Toast shaken espresso iced. It’s one of theocmost popular. You only live once and I know I’ll be amped all day ha ha. I then ordered an iced vanilla chai to take to my niece. The shop is small but offers a cozy room to chill, a few seats near the register as well as a table and a few seats out front. There is a fuel lot next door to park, but also a couple paved including a handicap accessible spot. All the drinks were so good. I honestly think the shake espresso may be my new favorite drink. I never thought I’d steal away from my cold brew, but it’s got me hooked already. Come show them some love. Supporting local is so important and brings so much back to the community.
