Cute little coffee shop that's good for grab-and-gos or a short stay…read more They do offer WiFi, though it's time-limited I believe.. Service was efficient, but the guy behind the counter wasn't too friendly. Parking can also be a bit of a challenge with the on-site lot being pretty tight, so street parking may be your best bet. There's a mix of couches, chairs, and tables inside, plus a small patio if the weather's nice. I stopped by with a friend on a cold Sunday morning in December, and the indoor seating was pretty full with a mix of people working and casual conversations. There's only one barista, but things still moved along pretty quickly The interior has an eclectic, artsy vibe with some interesting vintage decor.. it almost feels like hanging out in a hipster record store. I liked that they offer dairy-free milk options and I tried their golden latte. It had a strong turmeric flavor, but it wasn't bad. Overall, a solid coffee stop if you're in the area, especially good for small groups or one-on-ones.

The oat latte my friend got was creamy, well balanced and wonderful. We got the eggs, sausage, and cheese taco, chicken gumbo empanada, and the beef empanada and each one was delicious. The breakfast taco really hit the spot. Just right amount of salty, gooey cheese, and meat. Made my day. The empanadas are huge, enough for two people. Another awesome visit.

After having lunch at Loro in Kirby, I had some time to kill before some plans I had later that…read moreday. I hopped on the trust Yelp app to find a coffee shop nearby. Grinder's Coffee Bar came up and it was right across the street so I made my way over. I arrived around 1 p.m. on a Wednesday. I parked in their small complimentary lot and made my way inside. Ambiance (3.5/5): Grinder's is basically two spots in one. When you walk in, there's a small counter where you place your order. And a handful of seats. From there, you wan walk into a more spacious second room that houses a CBD shop. And more seating along with the bathroom. I sat at a couch in the CBD area. While weed isn't my thing, if you're into both weed and coffee, that makes for a nice one-two punch for you. There isn't a ton of seating, less so than most coffee shops. Luckily, since it was a weekday, I didn't have any trouble. I wonder if that's different on the weekends. They also have free WiFi if you'd like to linger and work or study. Service (2.5/5): The menu is a little confusing because they have a menu on the counter and a menu on the wall with different items. I didn't see that there was a menu on the counter until I was about to place an order. They also have some beverages in a cooler that aren't on either menu. Not the best set up. Service wasn't terribly friendly either. Food (N/A): Since I just had lunch prior, no food for me. They have a small, but appetizing number of pastries and small bites for sale if you get the munchies (pun intended). Drinks (3.5/5): I'm not a coffee drinker so take this with a grain of salt. When I go to a coffee shop, I like coffee shops that still have a nice selection of teas and juices. Grinder's has a small number of teas that can be made either hot or iced. I went with one, iced, and sweetened with agave (for a surcharge). I liked it and the price was reasonable. They also had a mocktail of sorts that was available on their seasonal menu, although like most mocktails, overpriced. While not really my vibe, if you're a CBD person, Grinder's will be right up your alley. It's a unique spot and located in a great part of town.

It is in a home-like structure with quirky furniture, but it makes me feel very much at home. The workers are also super nice and accommodating. The coffee is very reasonably priced and delicious. I always get their Horchata Latte---it is a perfect level of sweetness and the cinnamon complements the espresso perfectly (and it's only $5.50)! They have a variety of other drinks and pastries too, that I haven't been able to try. I highly recommend coming to study/catch up with a friend. There's a lot of coffee shops in the Montrose area but this has been one of my favorite.

I asked a question and the girl responded to me without turning around or making eye contact - gave me the impression she was annoyed that I was asking a question. There were only two baristas working on a Saturday morning so perhaps they were stressed because it was busy. Coffee was delicious and served with a small chocolate mint. They also serve beer. Variety of pastries. Small parking lot that fills up quickly! There was a line of people outside waiting to get in a few minutes before they opened. They don't open until 9 am which is late for a coffee shop. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute destination for a casual date or out with a friend.

I love the upper level deck and snagging a cute table overlooking a window. It's definitely a 'one size fits all' that is great for morning work/studying, light afternoon catch up, or a cozy late night vibe. Traditionally, I've seen a lot of people studying during the week while a bit more of a lively feel on weekend evenings. People are very polite but do follow the courtesy of waiting to find a table until after they order, since it can get a little busy. Overall, they are quick with coffee orders with a variety of pastries. Parking is difficult (but it is Montrose!), so anticipate adding a little time to your drive to find a spot. Worth checking out!

Cafe Leonelli was clean, spacious and filled with natural light. Outdoor seating was also available. An array of foods was displayed behind glass (i.e. pizza, sandwiches, desserts). We ordered their cafe Americano and carrot cake both days. Coffee was good enough, dispensed from a machine. Carrot cake was also good, although expensive for its small size. Such is the price of convenience.

It's also a great for hanging out with friends or meeting up with someone professionally over coffee. Wifi lasts for 4 hours and for up to 2 devices. They have seasonal lattes year round on top of their usual drinks. I've never not liked any of the drinks or food I've gotten. A little bit on the pricey side. They're always super nice and welcoming and they'll bring your order to you. Whether a weekday or weekend, this place stays pretty busy. There's tons of seating however so I've always been able to sit. Parking is a bit hard. In order to get to the designated parking spaces in the lot, you need to go through the valet area in front of the restaurant next door. There is also street parking.
