Ground Up Coffee

Was running early for a meeting and stopped in. Very chilled out spot that can do a Cortado right! They even served it how I would get it in Argentina with some soda water and a sweet. Made me have some faith in Socal coffee culture.

Love this little shop in Monterey Park! Great ambience, tasty coffee and wonderful pastries. Danny and the rest of the staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. 10/10 will be back!

Order the Cappuccino. You're welcome.

Update: Took a month long vacation thru Europe a month ago. Spain, France, London, Scotland and Italy. I ordered cappuccinos in every city I visited. Every Cafe I patronized was picked randomly and maybe that was a mistake but it is what it is. Cappuccinos from Paris reminded me of lattes from here or even straight up coffee with creamer. Don't get me wrong, they were good, but not cappuccino like. In my opinion, only Italy had cappuccinos comparable to what we drink here but not even their coffee was as good as Ground Up Coffee's cappuccinos. Maybe it's just my taste buds but Ground Up Coffee makes a fantastic cappuccino and is my absolute favorite place for one. Highly recommend.

I found this place on accident! And saw that it had some really good views. Mostly wanted to come here cause I saw the latte art, but definitely want to come back more due to their coffee being really well made. The service is really nice and friendly, which is always a plus in my book.
