  • The It's a Grind Coffee chain is a Long Beach institution that manages to thrive in the competitive coffee market. Starbucks recognized this small chains success and immediately opened shops across the street from each of the It's a Grind coffehouses. Locals actively boycott Starbucks by starting their day with coffee at one of the 6 family owned locations.

    The original is at the corner of Spring & Los Coyotes. Other locations are as follows:
    Signal Hill - next to Costco
    Traffic Circle - next to the car wash
    Bixby Knolls- Atlantic Ave
