Grind Time Coffee Grinding Out the Perfect Cup.
Grind Time Coffee is Gilbert AZ’s newest addition of outstanding coffee shops. They have a straight up coffee and espresso menu that is easy to use. No extra syrupy drinks here, just a well-crafted espresso drink that are made expertly, and done to perfection. The owner, Mark, has made the move from operating a mobile coffee trailer to a brick and mortar shop. He traded in the flexibility to go places where he is needed, to having his customers come to him. I think he is off to a good start.
The Lobby
The lobby of Grind Time is quite spacious and very comfortable, lots of room so you don’t feel crowded, with furniture that is comfortable to sit in for extended time really helps.
Pastries
Grind Time has some excellent pastries from a local bakery, and if you are a Vegan, you can go there knowing your needs will be met as well. All of it is freshly made, there is a nice selection of taste, not all of it is chocolate.
Coffee
As I mentioned above, the coffee and espresso are made with great care. The coffee is roasted by Peixoto, which is a big plus in my world. Peixoto is one of my favorites here in the valley of the sun. You will not find any extra sweet syrups here at Grind Time, Mark’s philosophy is that good coffee and espresso should be able to stand alone, and I agree with him. Mark is a man dedicated to the art of espresso, and it shows with every drink he makes. Yes, an espresso connoisseurs dream come true.
Overall
I am very glad that Grind Time is here in Gilbert, and parking is not an issue. The décor is nice, and pleasant and well taken care of. But the main reason is that if you are like me and you need to get your coffee geek on, this is the place for you, and you will not be judged but be embarrassed.
