It's A Grind Coffee House Mission Viejo

Came here on a Sunday for the first time and enjoyed my Breakfast: Service: 9/10 really nice manager- maybe owner walked us through the menu and helped us order the best pastries and coffee beverages. Some guy took one of our coffees so had to wait to get the second. Pastry/Croissant: 10/10 got a doughnut, desert toaster pastry, and an Almond Croissant. All were fantastic and they heated them up first to perfection. Egg/Omelette: 9/10 got a breakfast burrito with egg potato, cheese and spinach. It was on the smaller side but was delicious. Coffee: 9/10 got a Latte and it tasted perfect the only thing I’d change is since I was dining in, would have liked it in a cozy mug Vs a to go cup Location: 9/10 easy to find and park in Mission Viejo. Ambience/View: 8/10 cute inside with some subtle music playing. A couple small tables outside but would be very close to the parking lot and no views outside. Menu: 9/10 great choices for some simple breakfast and pastry items. Customized the coffee with almond or oat milk and plenty of great beverages. Price: 10/10 very reasonable pricing on the lower end and would be a place you could go any morning.

High Ground Coffee Shop has thrown me into an existential crisis. Their brews? Fantastic. The ambiance? Cozy. But the owner? So incredibly kind that I'm over here reevaluating some of my life choices. If they ever start a class on 'How to be the Best Human,' sign me up! Till then, I'll just be sipping my latte, pondering life's big questions, and wondering if maybe I should've been a barista...
