Grow Coffee + Tea

Love em. They are friendly and I get the family feels there

Best iced white mocha ever… simple as that. They just need refills! Staff are all pretty awesome.

A really cozy family owned coffee shop. The owners are so sweet and they really care about the highest of quality. They are passionate for finding the best beans and only want to be associated with companies that treat their employees well. Their Iced Bannana mocha is theee best!

Love this place! Amazing coffee! My favorites are cubano machchiato. their bagels with cream cheese are toasted to perfection! Super friendly staff. Goodbye Starbucks.

Currently sitting at the coffee shop right now and I’m loving this place!
It’s a cute little coffee shop and the baristas are very friendly & helpful. After staring at the menu for 5 mins, I told the barista I wanted an iced coffee and she suggested I try the sea salt & caramel one. Um yum! So I did and it isn’t overly sweet which is perf! Their coffee selection is pretty minimal but it all looks delicious. It’s relatively empty, which is nice. No one likes long lines for caffeine. I wish I lived closer because I’d definitely come back!

This small little coffee shop is one of my favorites. The workers are always helpful when you don’t have a lot of knowledge abut what’s on the menu, and the have wifi!
I usually come here to do some homework and study, since it’s a good environment that’s not as busy as Starbucks would be.
The only downside is that they close pretty early, but I don’t think people really want coffee after 6 pm

I was scheduled to meet with a friend here until it was brought to my attention that it closed early on Sundays (3pm). Before relocating I squeezed in before closing hours to get drink.
Ambiance:
Parking: Plenty of parking. It is shared with a furniture store which I can imagine shouldn’t be packed.
Seating:
Sizable amount. About 10 seats inside and 20 seats outside. Great for groups, couples, or singles.
Feels:
* A 3^rd wave coffee shop that seems well put together with their knowledge and resources. You’ll see their fancy equipment and additional merchandise. Great place to catch up with a friend, grab on the go, or just to study.
Food:
El Nino Mocha (Recommended)
I ordered this blended and the results were pretty good. The initial sip of spice caught me off guard but it had a good kick. A nice delight if you’re in the mood for chocolate and spice.
Customer Service:
My barista was knowledge, friendly, and can’t complain.
Overall:
3.5 stars. I had a great experience during my brief moment here. It’s a great alternative to the chain coffee joints and their menu has great fundamentals. A tad bit pricey but I can’t complain. Overall I don’t mind giving this place another go.
TL;DR Tips:
* Self-​serve water near the pick-​up station
* Great neutral place from Irvine and Diamond Bar.

As a café to work and chat, it does the job. Music is mellow and cute small tables. Plenty of outdoor seating, which is nice. Only one outlet by the worktables inside that I can see.
Three stars is for the bitter bitter coffee that cream and sugar couldn’t save.

This review is of my first impressions, prior to drinking the coffee (it’s being prepared as I type this). Quaint coffee shop. Lots of coffee beans /​options. Looks like they try to cater to what you like, the barista brought out a few bags for me to smell before I decided on which beans I wanted for the pour over. Sounds promising.
They also sell beans and have lots of options.

The espresso is so good here! I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. There are couches and tables great for homework or reading. It’s also a great place to meet up with friends!
I really enjoyed having my afternoon coffee here today.
Did I mention they also do latte art?!

This place is awesome. There coffee is great I have no complaint. I suggest the pb and mocha frappé along with everything else.
Customer service is good to and I have no complaints.

Wow. Just, wow! This is a nice little find (thanks to my friend, Ryan G. for recommending this place… check out his review of Grow, as well). If you love coffee… I’m talking real coffee, not that sludge they pour over at Starbucks (which, funny enough, is across the street from here), then this is the place for you. Formally an It’s a Grind coffee franchise, ownership changed about a year ago and now we have our very own independent coffee house in the Tustin area.
So what can I tell you? The coffee is smooth and hot. Grabbed a nice pour over at the suggestion of the barista and was wonderfully surprised. Without any need for sugar nor cream (yes…the way we should drink our coffee to get that full taste! But hey… who am I kidding; i love a spot or 10 of sugar in my coffee from time to time), this pour over hit the spot. Next up was a Kyoto cold brew, and once again… this did not fail in my expectations. In fact, they were far exceeded.
The quality of this coffee house goes beyond the brew, which is absolutely excellent (and yes, I love my coffee… regular at Kean in Tustin as well as Newport). The ambiance is great… with chill coffeehouse music playing at an appropriate level to get those creative juices flowing, those productivity powers powering, and that writing a… well, you get the idea. The internet is quite fast, and the artwork is fun to take a look at.
Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I stay to work? Most definitely. Would I cross the street if this place was packed and go to the industrialized and corporate America Starcraps across the street? Well, you can guess my answer to that.
If you love your coffee, and consider yourself a fan of the likes of Kean, then Grow is a definite must on your next coffee excursion.
So come in for the coffee, and then enjoy the nice music and even cooler art work.
Finally, as a bit of an after thought… why not 5 stars instead of the 4 I have here? I mean, the brew is superb… the ambiance is great… the music is work-​inspiring. So??? Well, it does seem a bit cold in here. You may want to bring a light jacket with you. Perhaps it’s me… I’m a bit fra-​gggggggg-​layyyyyyyyy!

This place gets top marks for both excellent coffee and stellar customer service. My friend had been raving about Grow for awhile now and finally took me there. I ordered the cold brew coffee, which was excellent. But that’s not where the experience ended. The owner, Jeff, asked us if we’d like samples while we were waiting for our orders. He then proceeded to give us samples of coffee brewed on their Kyoto system– words cannot describe the excellent quality of this stuff.
More than the coffee, more than the customer service and experience, it was the infectious passion for coffee that Jeff showed that really sold me. Thanks for an awesome experience, and the awesome coffee. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great coffee spot.
I wouldn’t consider myself a coffee connoisseur, but I can at least tell good coffee from bad ones. This place definitely doesn’t have bad coffee. I got their coffee of the day (green coffee?) it’s supposingly a blend of three coffees but it was pretty delicious. Smooth but not weak or too sweet or dark. I approve! Plus the difference between large and small coffee was $ .25. Overall pricing was normal. Nothing stood out as being cheap or expensive.
I was going to get a bagel but there was this giant chocolate muffin that looked like it was hand picked for me. So muffin it was and muffin it was tasty. Nothing great great but still good for a coffee shop muffin (I want to say it’s a tad better than the one at sprouts – if you need a comparable muffin tasting – I actually think it’s the same muffin Coffee Bean carries).
Bagel next time and I’m pretty excited about it. There was also a lady who walked out with a giant iced coffee and that looked pretty delicious too. (You know you’ll come back when you already planned your next order) *thumbs up*

Tucked away in a shopping center with Jerome’s and Re-​Mart, this Anaheim coffee shop is definitely a hidden gem that deserves some attention. Apparently this used to be an It’s a Grind back in they day and the owners decided to separate and create their own concept. Good move as the coffee, customer service and ambiance are top-​notch and their breakfast bagels are nothing to scoff at either!
The café is large with lots of seating. They partnered with the nearby furniture store to get some comfy chairs and tables, which is clever marketing on both of the businesses. For those looking for more of a place to prop up and work and or have some study sessions — they have space to accommodate larger gatherings or solo productivity.
For coffee, I went with the iced Americano with an add shot and it was fantastic. Jaime went with the dirty chai and it was pretty freaking good. They also have pour overs, Kyoto brews and a variety of other concoctions if you’re looking to break away from your normal coffee drinking routine. If you love your Kyoto so much and want to take one home, they have one for sale… not sure how much it is, but it looks intimidating and fragile. Something that probably wouldn’t last long in my clumsy hands.
For eats, I created my own breakfast bagel with a jalapeño cheddar outside (since they were out of plain) filled with eggs, avocado, tomato, bacon and cheese. I didn’t realize that veggies cost extra, so they charge you for every ingredient that goes into your sandwich. It wasn’t too much of an upcharge, but it was a little bit of a surprise. I also got charged extra for the bagel being a specialty even though that was one of the only ones they had left.
Customer service was great and I was happy with my order overall. I’d definitely come back to grab another cup of coffee and munch on a breakfast sandwich the next time I’m in the area!

I love this coffee shop. They introduced me to a dirty chai (you have your choice of one or two shots of espresso). They can also make a dirty chai using coffee instead if you like.
I also love the sandwiches that they have here. My favorite is the turkey pesto flatbread. If you like your food on the spicy side, they have packets of tapatio for you (you just need to ask). All of their sandwiches and flatbreads are with Boars’ Head meats (extra star for this!).
The staff here are all very friendly and knowledgeable.
If you’re in the area make sure to come here instead of across the street at Starbucks.

A cozy coffee shop; perfect for studying, getting work done or just for cute coffee dates.
The menu is different from the photos that you find on this page; I didn’t get a chance to snap any photos because there were so many people in the cashier area at the same time I was there. so maybe next time.
I ordered an iced vanilla latte which was very good. A genuine cup of coffee. The coffee was strong but not too strong and I love how it had a hint of vanilla to it rather than it being a cup of vanilla syrup with a hint of coffee to it. Basically meaning, they know their coffee and how to balance the sweetness to it.
They offer free wifi – just ask the staff for the password. & if you need to use the restroom, ask for the key! They have tables and a bar top area by the window which also has outlets underneath. The cashier also informed me that there are outlets outside the shop as well if you prefer to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. :) I did find myself to be freezing while I was studying inside because they were full on blasting their AC but I guess it’s better than walking into a stuffy & humid shop? It wouldn’t hurt to tone it down a notch though: P
The staff here is very friendly and welcoming. I believe the older gentleman was the owner, I presume? Either way, he was so nice! He even asked if we wanted to try any samples of their coffee while we were waiting for our drinks! What I also found to be really touching is that he made sure to thank his customers as they got their drinks and left the shop. It really showed that he cares about the customers and the type of service his coffee shop provides. A+ !
I highly recommend this place & I will definitely be coming back more often. SKIP the Starbucks across the street and give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed :)

And brew they do. Located off Tustin near the 91 with plenty of parking and a easy peasy exit, offering good vibes, tastey treats, excellent brews and top knotch service. Comfy cozy seating inside and outside patio seating, perfect place to enjoy your potions.
The staff here is Amazing. The owner Jeff, I hope thats his name and his Barista treated me to what seemed my own private tasting and coffee history lesson when they found out I was a long time coffee stalker and first time visitor. I must of sampled at least 5 different cold brews and a hot shot of something. None of their brews required and cream or sugar. You could taste the simple hues of what coffee is suppose to be like. To top it off Jeff even carried my 2 coffees out to my car for me.
The vibe here is Kewl. Customers were aknowledged by names and everyone left with a high five or hug.
I took some pictures… buuuuuuuuuuut the clean sweeper application on my phone deleated them all.
10 star service… solid 4 star coffee. Rounding it up to 5. I M a fan foSure.

A Relaxing Vibe and Good Cup of Coffee/​Tea!
A surprisingly delicious spot for a quick bite with excellent coffee and teas. There is no place like this in the local area. The drinks I have had here were delightful. The Chai was a tad sweet but very flavorful. They also serve up some unique drinks and warm apple cider during the holidays. I really enjoyed the breakfast croissants and bagels that come with fresh spinach, eggs, bacon and more. These are great options with one of their specialty coffees or tea.
Customer service is always friendly and with a smile. They have free WiFi and a very relaxing vibe. The location is awesome. It is tucked in a corner and gives the feel of seclusion. Several seats and tables are available to chit-​chat, work, study or just have a few minutes to yourself.
~Prices are reasonable and a good quality spot.
~Outdoor Seating and Parking is Easy!
I am definitely a fan! I do wish they would get a better selection of loose leaf teas instead of the stuff they have.
Grow Coffey + Tea, Anaheim… another reason the OC is the best place to live!
