About GrindTime Coffee
Our Story - The GrindTime Journey
Every great cup of coffee has a story, and so does GrindTime Coffee. Our journey began with a dream and a trailer in the scorching Arizona summer of 2017. We poured our passion into serving the East Valley, connecting with our community one handcrafted cup at a time.
Just as we found our rhythm, life threw us a series of unexpected challenges. A broken generator, a failing truck, and most profoundly, a serious car accident that put our daughter in the ICU, left us questioning everything. Yet, it was in those moments of uncertainty that the true spirit of GrindTime emerged. With overwhelming support from our family, friends, and the incredible community we served, we found the strength to push forward with our vision: a permanent home for GrindTime.
In the summer of 2019, we proudly opened the doors to our brick-and-mortar shop. Little did we know, a few months later, the world would change with the arrival of COVID-19. Our bustling shop transformed into a to-go-only model, but even then, we saw an opportunity to grow. It was during this time that we made a pivotal decision to deepen our commitment to quality and our brand: we started roasting our own coffee. This move allowed us to truly control the beans from start to finish, ensuring every single origin roast met our high standards.
Since then, GrindTime Coffee has continued to grow. We're honored to now share our meticulously roasted beans with a wider audience, supplying our unique single-origin coffees to other beloved local coffee shops and bakeries, including one with three thriving locations. From a humble trailer to a thriving roasting operation, our journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the enduring power of community.
Our Values - Craft & Community
At GrindTime Coffee, our philosophy is simple yet profound: quality over quantity. From the meticulous sourcing of our single-origin beans to the art of roasting them in-house, every step of our process is driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence. We believe that a truly exceptional coffee experience starts with the highest standards.
This dedication extends beyond our roasts. Our flavorful, house-made syrups are crafted with the same care, ensuring every drink we serve is not just a beverage, but a testament to our passion. We pour our hearts into every detail, because we believe that the true essence of coffee lies in its craftsmanship and the joy it brings to our community.
