Walnut Creek 10K
Presented by Austin Grind
When we opened our coffee house in 2005 with a vision to serve the best coffee paired with an exceptional experience every time someone walked through our doors.
Starting from our love of a great cup of coffee, we decided to open a franchise. It’s A Grind believed in our vision of quality products and exceptional service. We have learned a lot over the years.
After 15 years of successfully operating as It’s A Grind, we have the wonderful opportunity to become fully independent and open our vision: Austin Grind. We are super excited to continue serving this community with exceptional experiences and to keep Austin caffeinated!
