Local Grind Coffee + Cafe - Los Alamitos, California

It's a nice coffee shop with big open windows for plenty of sunlight. The plain latte I got was poured well, and you could taste the quality in the beans they used.

I balked a little as to how much their lox bagel was but understood why once I got it. It was absolutely loaded with salmom and cream cheese. The pic doesn't do it justice. I would probably split it next time with someone.

It seems like this would be a nice, quiet place to enjoy a coffee and a book.

The Local Grind in Los Alamitos is beautiful! Big windows and high ceilings, lots of natural wood, and green plants. I tried the “562” which is iced coffee, vanilla and cream - I love it! Plus all the coffee is certified organic, and it costs less than Starbucks. Wow I am impressed and I will definitely be back!

I have to say, I’m a sucker for local coffee shops. They always have that unique charm that you just can’t find at the big chain places. Local Grind is a gem in a sea of corporate coffee joints. It’s a rare find in my area, where coffee shops seem to come and go faster than a Spirit Halloween store.

Located conveniently across the street from our hotel, Fairfield Inn, Local Grind was the perfect spot for our morning coffee fix. We ordered a hot chocolate, the OG funky monkey, a Mocha, and a Sunrise. Each drink had its own special flavor that set it apart from the rest.

The staff was incredibly friendly and quick to whip up our drinks. They even took the time to ask if we had any questions about the menu. Plus, they use nugget ice, which is a personal favorite of mine. I even have the same ice maker at home!

I was pleasantly surprised to find a little store area inside the shop. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any men’s shirts for sale. I would have loved to grab one for myself and the boys, but I don’t think a half shirt would be very flattering on me.

If you’re looking to avoid the major coffee chains and support a local business, I highly recommend stopping by Local Grind. It’s the perfect spot for a delicious cup of coffee with a side of small-town charm.

This place is huuuuge! Such a nice open space for people to study or hangout. It’s crazy cuz I never order pumpkin spice lattes but I decided to give it a try here and wowowow I enjoyed it so much! I asked for it half sweetned and loved it!

Making this my go to stop whilst staying close by for the next couple of days!
Beautiful setup, and equally amazing staff! So super friendly and patient with all my questions and indecisiveness!
Ended up going for their current special 'Mint Mocha Jolt', and was not disappointed in the slightest! So glad I went for the largest size!
Looking forward to my next visit!

Bright and clean coffee shop. If you prefer earthy, no acidity but not quite strong flavor type of coffee, you will like their coffee beans.

We were very excited to try out the shop, as we usually come stay at the Fairfield once a month. Everything we ordered came out in a timely manner and drinks filled the cups, we didn't have an issue with them not being full. We also got several sandwiches which were all fantastic. I liked the broad choices available for breakfast sandwiches. Their jalapeño cheddar bagel was one of the best I'd ever had. Everything was also very reasonably priced for being a small business. I dont believe they had prices listed on the menu for the sandwiches, and the Matcha was fairly unnoticeable and lacked flavor. Other than that the staff were all very kind, helpful, and welcoming. We'll definitely be regulars while we're there. Thank you very much!

Well-designed and comfortable, welcoming design with lots of tables and chairs, nice background music. My latte was delicious, and the avocado toast scrumptious. My family and I had an enjoyable experience at Local Grind and will return many times!
