Went today for a coffee and said light ice, the barista said they would charge me for changes so I said no ice if I am going to get charged. He proceeds to add ice anyways. This is a drink that is almost $10 and 40 percent of it is ice, while it is a good coffee I can't justify paying that much for cup of coffee.

Update: 12/10/2025 Was here a year ago, came multiple times. This week, I’ve been 3 times. All of them have had a terrible customer service. Today 12/10 specially. Please train your employees to treat your customers adequately. Dropped the 5 stars to 2. Hope you get it better next time, if I even decide to come back.
Date: 12/12/2024 This place is a must. Please read the entirety of this comment. Here is my SCORE:
1) Atmosphere: 4.4/5 2) 3) 4) Cost: 4.7/5
Total Score: 4.775 (4.7/5).
Customer service is excellent. The staff is very savvy with latte art and they are very friendly. They made the most perfect oat milk cortado and even made some latte art (see picture attached). I appreciate how attentive the staff were every time I went. This is what the experience of coffee shops used to be and should be: welcoming & personalized.
I wish the absolute best to this business!

I'm only leaving a review because I hope the owner reads this honest opinion/suggestion. We went maybe a month or 2 after opening, and we haven't been back. Service was great, place was nice, but the main focus should be the product in which this place is a coffee shop. The coffee we got was VERY watered down. To the point where we were debating if they accidentally gave us cold brew. I believe this has to do with either the grind, maybe the grinder they use, or it's the water temp. Either way, we typically go out and grab coffee multiple times a week, and woulda loved to have a local coffee shop down the street just nail it, but at similar price points compared to competitors that simply deliver a better product, it's just not a place on our list. Might go back, but there is hesitation, ngl.

I had a caramel latte that was delicious, a turkey bacon chicken wrap that was really good, and the service was great. I loved the decor and the fact that this place has a drive thru! Will definitely come again.
Fantastic service. The kid was super friendly and kind. Helpful. Yes sir,yes ma’am manners. The coffee was excellent. I got the honey nut Cheerio and hubby got the halo. Strong. I also got the biscuits and gravy- they are homemade- what a welcomed treat. The vibe was relaxed. Great music. Place was spotless. The price point is very good as well.

I love the coffee, the bagels are absolutely delicious and have the best chew: tear-ability ratio which is important when encountering bagels. HOWEVER my personal highlight was placing an online order and asking for a pup cup (for my cat) and they obliged. I’m so thankful. So is Freyja. Thank you guys!

GroundShaker Coffee Shop is one of my favorite local spots — the aesthetic and vibe are absolutely on point. It’s the kind of place that feels thoughtfully curated, cozy, and inviting whether you’re stopping in or using the drive-thru (which is a huge bonus for convenience!).
One of the things I really appreciate is their use of local honey — not only is it a nice touch for drinks, but it’s also great for allergies. I believe the owner actually harvests the honey themselves, which adds a personal and sustainable touch I love supporting.
The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic — fresh, satisfying, and a perfect start to the morning. Whether I'm craving a hot coffee or something iced, the quality is consistently good across the board.
If I had to note one downside, it's that the staff experience can vary. Most visits, we’ve had great service from kind, knowledgeable baristas. Other times, the staff felt a bit inexperienced or less engaged — likely just younger team members still learning the ropes. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but something worth mentioning.
Overall, GroundShaker is a gem. Between the thoughtful ingredients, great coffee and food, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a place I keep coming back to — and definitely recommend.

I go to Ground Skaker quit often. My coffee is mostly always good, exactly what I ordered. Place looks cool and is a great place to sit and chill. But honestly, how can you not wanna hang at a place with a SICK guitar hanging on the wall. Love it there.

First visit and we’re hooked!
My family and I stopped by GroundShaker Coffee Bar for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, and we were seriously impressed. This location has been home to a couple of coffee shops over the years, but this is by far the best version we've experienced.
It wasn’t too busy, and the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. The staff greeted us right away, and when I mentioned it was our first time, they gave us space to check out the menu while staying close enough to answer questions. That was a really thoughtful touch.
We tried a few different drinks:
I had the cold brew, straight up. It was bold, full-bodied, and just awesome.
My wife ordered the Blueberry Cobbler latte special. It actually smelled and tasted like blueberry and wasn’t overly sweet, which is rare for these types of drinks.
Our daughter went with The Ex-Girlfriend, and she said it was fabulous. The caramel, hazelnut, and toasted marshmallow flavors really came through.
They have a fun list of latte specials (I’ve posted a picture), and I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with anything on it.
I can't speak for the food, but based on what other customers received while we were there, I would rate it at a five. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked fresh, well-portioned, and delicious.
The atmosphere is great with music playing, indoor and outdoor seating, and even a drive-thru. The pricing is very reasonable too, which we appreciated.
This is a refreshing change from the corporate coffee spots around Surprise. We’ll definitely be back and hope they continue to thrive in this location.
