Stopped by the Grind Coffee Project today for the first time. After ordering a latte and a burrito for $16, I was told there is no inside seating even though two people were seated inside. They do offer outside seating but unfortunately dont provide power to charge electrical devices.Im assuming their concern for inside seating is due to the virus, yet outside seating is less than 6 ft apart. Also, it appears that they are connected to an office sharing space. Maybe this is part of the allure to get people to pay extra to work there.The burrito that I received was not even room temperature, even though it should have been hot. The latte was good though and free parking was nice. Being that theres so much competition in the area, its not worth the price.

They only use quality ingredients and will not compromise the integrity of their coffee by putting any additives so if you like coffee with mile and sugar, you wont get that here but you will get quality sourced great coffee and tea. Location is super quaint. They also serve wine. Their mission is pretty cool. Definitely check them out if your in the area.The Grind Coffee Project is also adjacent to a local brewery so if coffee isnt your thing, you can walk right across the street and grab some beer.

The owner personally served us and I was delightfully surprised at the kind of attentiveness and service we experienced. He was humorous, hospitable, and went the extra mile by coming to our table and taking our dishes off. Every square inch of this shop has been meticulously setup to be convenient and enjoyable. Everything was clean, aesthetically pleasing, and convenient. The thought that went into this place genuinely shows from the cards against humanity set, to the extension cords and toilet paper mounts on the toilets. Prices are a little high, but I assure you it is money well earned by the deserving staff. Thanks again guys for the warm welcome.

Great coffee shop with amazing tasting coffee. Great selection of espresso drinks. Great location with a good atmosphere small snacks on the menu. Located walking distance from the waterway. Nice outdoor seating and dog friendly for dog people. Cool flavorings for those that want to spice things up.

This place has a great vibe. Its super relaxing! You can have beer, wine, tea, coffee, and a variety of snacks from pastries and fruit bowls to parfaits. We had a cold green tea and a latte. Both were really good. We also had a fruit bowl that had a bit too much fruit, but I still liked it a lot. There are also games to play and a comfortable couch.I highly recommend this place if you want a chill atmosphere with a choice for everyone.

I used to enjoy coming here to work. I wasnt too crazy about the fact that they refused to serve cream or milk with coffee, and especially since I only like a small amount. I navigated this by bringing a small tupperware of cream from home and going outside and putting it in my coffee.I came back a few weeks ago and the inside space was not available to sit or work unless you pay a substantial fee. The outside has no electrical outlets to use so its a real shame.

Love this place! Just found this gem a couple weeks ago. I officially decided to make it my weekly Saturday spot for a few hours. The staff is so friendly, great atmosphere, love the whole layout. If you are looking for a nice spot to chill or catch up on some work, this is definitely the place!

Awesome coffee shop with outstanding service and unique blends. Stopped here on a whim and was very happy we did. Parking lot is small, but there is plenty of free parking nearby. Definitely worth the drive to get the experience of a real coffee house.

Cool cozy coffee shop with a college student hang out feel, all surrounding a simplistic espresso menu, flavored sugars and artisan cans of wine-Cabernet & Red Blend. Chill out, enjoy some coffee and listen for lenghly freight trains rumbling by with screeching steel wheels.

Loved this coffee shop in our backyard. Great place to work, chill with a good book or just enjoy a cup of Joe. Food was delicious too and the service was great.

Nice atmosphere but I do not recommend this place for a regular morning coffee. Be warned they do not have half and half. It’s more geared towards espresso drinks.

Id driven by in the past and always wanted to stop by. It felt like a West Coast coffeehouse vibe, which I loved. Had a fantastic flat white, creamy and delicious. Ive heard about a special black coffee they have. Cant wait to try it....next time.

Review №13

This place is awesome with enough space to meet all your needs. The quieter people tend to gravitate towards the back, while the further front you go the more social it gets. The staff make awesome recommendations, and are very warm and welcoming. I had the cold Maple and it was very good. They use the good ice, and some how make it very frothy. Their pour over coffee is also spot on. Its an eclectic vibe and is truly a local gem. I cant believe they have been here two years already. I definitely will be heading back if not for the kind staff and great coffee then for pics of their cool wall art.

Amazing! We visited while we were on vacation and looking for a coffee shop that had more of a local feel. The Grind Coffee Shop did not disappoint! Great coffee, great food, and really great people! :)

Love the ambiance here and their overnight oats are the best! 💐I recently moved to the area and have been loving the outdoor seating areas everywhere I go, like at The Grind, because of the gorgeous plants, great design, and nice decor. Definitely have to come back and give more of their coffees a try! I tried their iced coffee and it was yummy. 🌈💖

Cute & eclectic decor.Very nice & informative girl served us.I had cappuccino, taste nice & creamy but served in a tiny mason jar. I like Mason jars for several things, but not for cappuccino :)Oh & also very limited pastry/desserts.But I will go back for the coffee!

My new favorite hidden gem coffee shop who really cares about what theyre putting out and their customers.👌Plus they got a really cool co-working space in the back.

Review №19

This was a little gem I found between airport runs. The “grinder” (my own coined term for the employee making my coffee) picked the perfect coffee from a few questions. I believe he chose “Jamaican Christmas” for me. I’ll be back. After all isn’t that the saying...”back to the Grind”.

Review №20

Came here before the pandemic and loved the vibe. Went back this past weekend and was not that impressed to be honest.The inside appears to be closed. Im assuming this is due to the pandemic. But as someone else mentioned, the outside area is fairly small so people end up being within 6 feet of one another. Not to mention they have a sign stating thank you for wearing your mask but I saw a few patrons maskless and leaning on the counter when ordering. I would think if they werent concerned with this that the inside could also be opened. It would likely decrease the outside crowding.Coffee was okay. I remembered it being better in the past. The temperature wasnt very warm. They have a rule that they will only serve coffee black, no cream or sugar. Fine for me because I like it that way, but you would think the coffee would be a knockout with such a rule. Its not. The breakfast burrito was burnt on the outside and cold in the center.Overall it was okay but there seemed to be more vibey places in town. Free parking was nice but I dont think its worth the 20 minute drive for me.

Offering two sources for espresso and three sources for other coffee drinks when I visited. Ethiopian, Guatemalan, and Kenyan. I had the Ethiopian as macchiato and Guatemalan as dopio both were well prepared. The macchiato uses pour in milk. Great customer service and friendly ambiance. I also had a butter croissant which was much chewier than anticipated but tasty.

Review №28

You are FORBIDDEN to put cream/sugar/syrup in your coffee. This is no joke... I’ve been here many times, but when I brought a friend today, she ordered ice coffee. She didn’t like the taste and asked for milk or syrup on the side so she can put it in. He said no, then when I questioned him, he raised his voice towards us. He said the only rule the boss has is that you can’t put anything in the coffee. Some people just don’t like their coffee black and that’s okay!They lost us as customers and some of the other patrons nearby left as well after hearing how we were spoken to. It is crazy to me that I pay you a pretty penny for coffee and I am disrespectfully told how I need to drink it. As a frequent customer, this is very unfortunate, I’ll let others know how we were treated, and won’t be returning again. Let me know if you train some of your employees to interact respectfully to customers and if you allow us to add what we would like to OUR coffee.

This is my second time here today. Im so happy we have a coffee place near the house. I am allergic to dairy and their vegan baked goods are sooo good. I keep coming back for the coconut, chocolate macaroon. The place screams personality and attention to detail, Im a designer and I just love looking at everything here. Nice!

Review №30

Really enjoyed this joint. We will definitely go back. If you want just drip coffee, it has to be black. If you want milk or other additives, you must get an espresso drink of some kind. We get it. My cortado was well done but could have been hotter as her black coffee could have also.

Honestly so impressed with this coffee shop. I came in not knowing what to expect. Im very particular about my coffee so I was surprised when I was made a coffee without actually ordering anything. The gentlemen that took care of me did such an incredible job at reading me. He asked me a couple of questions and then he made me a delicious cup of coffee with customizations and all. I was so happy with my order that I even purchased a mug. I will be back. 100% recommended.

This was a great place a cup of coffee. The inside is trendy without being pretentious, and you could tell they just want to do coffee well. I got an iced latte with maple syrup and it was outstanding. Lightly sweet but not synthetic or sickly. Perfectly refreshing. I had asked for an iced coffee but they don’t do any add ins. They seem to take their craft very seriously and serious craftsmen should be trusted. We will be back! Oh, and dogs are welcome on the patio

I’m sorry, but I’m just not liking this place. The coffee bites were good, but the coffee was expensive and just not good. I can’t explain. It wasn’t bitter or anything. It just took wasn’t a perfect smooth espresso. #coffeehopping

Review №46

The most pretentious coffee shop ever. They tell you what you can or cannot have with your coffee. I have a medical condition of extreme high acid reflux and recommended by my doctor to always add milk to coffee. The girl rolled her eyes, called the owner and the owner literally told me yes I will refuse you even if it’s a medical condition we will not give you milk on the side. Instead of serving their customers they dictate them.

Jo
Review №47

I’ve been here many times, and even wrote a five star review. That review is changing. I brought a friend to try their coffee/food. He has to have a little bit of milk in his coffee to help with acid reduction. He asked for milk, they said no, he asked to buy it, they refused, he informed them he has a medical condition, they said even for a medical condition, they will refuse to add milk to his coffee. At this point we just left. You all should be ashamed of yourself, and the way you run your business

This is a must place for anyone who loves coffee not just coffee drinks or muffins. They make a seriously good cup of coffee. They make each cup fresh with a fresh grind and a v60 pour over. Much better than pulling from a drip coffee that you have know idea how long it has been sitting. I had a coffee from Costa Rica that was naturally processed. Top notch.

Cool little coffee shop connected to a co op work space. Seems like they tried to fit to much stuff in the space though. Overall though the coffee was great and the staff were very nice. I would go back a second time but that might just be because it’s across the street from a brewing company haha 😜

Extremely friendly staff! Very welcoming for a first timer/inexperienced in the coffee world. The barista asked me a few questions to gauge what flavors I liked, and made me an incredible drink. The adult coffee is a must have too, perfect for getting a head start on day drinking.

My first visit was more or less a drive-by after an appointment nearby so didnt expect a lot but was blown away by the Grind. Had an ice latte that was way better than any Ive had lately and was warmly welcomed by two guys behind the counter, one of whom I assume is the owner. Very impressive space, lots of thought and $$$ obviously expended. Was given a brief tour of the menu and concept, The Grind is a very spacious co working spot. Ill definitely be back soon. Highly recommend.

Best mistake of 2021. Got in the wrong Lyft at FLA and accidently ended up at GCP. After realizing my mistake, I smiled, laughed it off with the barista, and tried it out. The goods: Excellent espresso/yummy burrito, timely friendly staff, all‐around great atmosphere. Still got to my original destination, but quite glad to have made the detour to try out the Grind Coffee Project. Youll be glad too.

Industrial style and open seating in the front. I loved the vanilla iced coffee and how kind all of the baristas were. Their empanadas are fresh and I love how they have a bit of spice to them. Plus you can meet the creator of the Grind sometimes on Saturdays. Beautiful spot to have coffee and listen to records. Plus they have a work spot in the back completely closed off to noise (but you have to pay or rent out the space)

Being from out of town, I hadnt heard of this place but saw the sign from the road and pulled in the lot to grab a bag of beans to take home as Im always on the lookout for local, good quality coffee. Was greeted ever so warmly by (who I think) was the owner and I immediately knew I made a wonderful decision to stop in. He was immensely knowledgeable about coffee, grinding and roasting and explained to me why lighter roasts are better than dark. I was sold before I even tried any! He also gave me a lovely iced latte to go. That was by far the most delicious cup of coffee Ive had in a looooong time. It was not too sweet and very pleasantly flavored. Im only in town for a couple of days but I know Ill be stopping in each one of them!!

A group of us stopped by on a Saturday morning for coffee. There was a bit of a wait but that is to be expected, especially since there was only one employee behind the counter. Our drinks were all made very well and tasted great! The seating area is nice with unique decorations (we especially enjoyed the Ask Bubbe doll) and some boardgames. I noticed glassed-in meeting rooms as well as outdoor seating. I would definitely come back if I were in the area again!

Coffee good but they are more concerned with how the coffees served than how they treat people. I added some honey which was on the counter and had it snatched out of my hand, apparently it was put there by accident. I was told that the black coffee is only served black and refused a stirrer or t-spoon to mix the honey in. The man was so upset he told me he had to make me a new coffee. Its fine to have strong ideas about coffee, but dont be rude to the people who keep you in business. I doubt Ill come here any more.

Great place to do some work with both indoor and outdoor seating. They are a bit particular about how they serve their coffee, so you may want to bring your own sweetener. Although often the coffee is good enough not to need it.
