Undergrind is edgy Coffee House pushing the flavor combination limits of coffee, tea and cafe fair.

Undergrind Cafe on Robertson is not quite the third-wave coffee shop that showcases caffeinated craft from bean to brew. Instead, flavored lattes are co-owner Rachel Sazon's pursuit.

The couple opened their cafe in December after spending roughly a year transforming the former medical supply store into a place fit for food. They began looking for a space around downtown in early 2013, but switched focus to Beverlywood, close to where Rachel grew up. Last July, the Sazons turned to Kickstarter to help with financing a new hood system. They set the crowdfunding deadline at three weeks and easily met their goal, with a large portion of the funds donated by their soon-to-be neighbors. Before opening Undergrind, the couple co-managed Novel Cafe downtown, discovering just how well they worked as a team and carrying their dynamic over to their new shop. Ron brings structure, from budgets to scheduling, honed through a previous career in corporate marketing.
