We first discovered Inspire Coffee while visiting family in Lodi, CA this past May. When we arrived early in the morning, my husband’s aunt and uncle already had fresh coffee waiting for us — and they’d made cold brew just for me since I mentioned I preferred iced coffee. It was delicious. They told me Inspire is their weekly go-to spot to refill their growler of cold brew (such a cool system — nothing like that where I live in Idaho!).
A few weeks later, I called the shop because I couldn’t stop thinking about that coffee. Even though I don’t live in California, the sweetest young woman helped me pick out which beans to order online and even walked me through their cold brew recipe over the phone. She didn’t rush, just genuinely cared about helping me recreate it at home.
Fast forward to my order arriving — not only did it ship quickly, but the packaging blew me away. They had handwritten brewing instructions (censored it for this review so I’m not posting their proprietary info all over the internet 😅) and included thoughtful notes that showed they remembered my call. It was way above and beyond what I expected, and months later I’m still impressed by that level of personal attention.
If you’re in Lodi, definitely stop in for a growler refill. If you’re out of town like me, their beans ship beautifully and taste just as amazing at home. Inspire Coffee has earned a loyal customer in Idaho. ❤️

This coffee shop is so stingy and doesn't taste good at all. Greedy and nasty. I have a picture where I asked for light ice and fills the whole cup up with a lot of ice.

By far the best coffee in Lodi and Galt area. They know how to make a perfect latte. Their espresso is the best I have had in a very long time. Tried their competition in town and none come near this place. The staff is so nice, on a consistent basis. Thank you for being here!

I love the ambiance of this coffee shop. It gives genuine feeling when you walk in. Does not feel generic like the corporate chains. They have plenty of comfortable furniture to lounge on and they even have board games to play. The coffee is exceptional and the staff is always friendly. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

Just moving to this area + finding this little gem. Such kind people, one of the staff members actually sat with me today + just chatted like a friend. Told me about Lodi since I'm unfamiliar. My babygirl also happen to knock over my coffee + so you can imagine we had a huge mess on our hands. They were so kind, handled everything with ease + even made me a new coffee when they so did not have to do that!! So very excited to have found such a place!!

Solid spot, had to grab an ice apple pie chai real quick before work, seems like a cool spot to study at, would try again. The chai was pretty good not too sweet but just right.

Good drinks, great service. Nice relaxing inviroment inside or outside.
Couldn’t have been a better atmosphere. I went in today, October 5th with my friend and my 1 year old. I was super nervous to bring him in because he runs around and can get loud. The staff was Aamazing!!! And we’re so kind about my son accidentally making a mess and running around. They offered to clean up, and said not to worry. Other people in the coffee shop were sweet to, waving to my son, saying hi and engaging. As a mom it can be exhausting to go out and try to make it work with a kid. However I had such a great experience and was so grateful everyone was so understanding of my son being loud and running around. I will be returning.

You are greeted with a warm welcome as you barely step through the door! Their staff is friendly and ready to help you make a selection and serve you with outstanding customer service! And your purchase makes an impact in your community...I enjoyed the purple rain today. It was completely on point! Definitely looking forward to my next visit already!
Parking: It would likely depend on the time of day. I did not have any issues with parking today. But, I can imagine that if it were busier at surrounding businesses, it could be an issue so you would do well to plan for this possibility.
