This is my go to hangout for getting some quite time to get some work done. The sitting space is very nice here. The teas and coffees are good but the food is average. Overall a great place to hangout, meet up with friends or sit to get some work done. read more

Customer Service: not the friendliest Location: hard to get in and out of with a car Prices: if you thought Starbucks was a lot, try ordering a large Americano that said it was $2.85 on the board and then get charged $4.62. When asked why I got charged an extra $2 I was told because two extra espresso shots are in the iced cup. $4.62 for espresso, ice, and water seems a little extreme. I'm all for supporting small local businesses, but not ones that are taking advantage of the community. The price is more than $1 more than Starbucks. Coffee: tastes good, but not worth the price tag Review in short, they've lost my business. read more

I was coming to this place for two years almost daily. The service is very slow and I had a terrible experience with a staff member. I was constantly being charged incorrectly and reported this to the manager. I also mentioned that I had a dairy intolerance so I would order a non-dairy option which they almost always got wrong. Why offer this then? After she likely told the staff member about these errors, he would make it a point to raise his voice and taunt me about my order and the cost in front of the entire store. This happened several times and then I decided to let him know that he was very rude and I stopped going there. I also contacted a manager at a later date to let someone know about the disrespectful employee and unacceptable behavior. The manager could hear how upset I was and asked me my name so she could have the owner contact me. Not to my surprise, much time has passed and I have not heard anything. So disappointing. read more

This place is a comfortable coffee shop in the center of glenview. My only gripe was I wish my latte had some design. sounds dumb but in my head every private owned coffee shop has latte art, isn't that one of the big separating factors? haha read more

Great local coffee hangout! I was a hard core Starbucks fan and love coming over to this place....nice and cozy and always a great cup of joe! read more

Love the NEW location of Glenview Grind, 1837 Glenview Rd., just west of train tracks and the Glenview House. Street parking as well as parking behind, PLUS a drive thru! Offers a variety of coffee and tea, juices plus pastries/dessert. The new location is sunny, open and airy with plenty of room for small groups and counter tops for singles/doubles. On nice days, there are outdoor tables available. Have already had a couple of meetings there. Nice energy, quiet enough to have a conversation. So nice to have a locally own coffee shop. read more

Pros: Quiet Calm atmosphere - They have TV's on mute and classical or hip music on softly. And the Baristas are calm and chill. Anyone who comes in generally is quiet Kind and Prompt Service - They are quick to take your order and quick to finish it and it still is high quality. The servers are just kind people in general. The kind if you yelled at them they would say thank you with a smile. Free WiFi High Quality - This used to be Caribou and when they took over they changed the layout so there are more place to sit and relax and it feel open. They also have flat screens with the menu and at the register screens that tell you the names of everyone who works there. The coffee and fun drinks are done with CARE. They aren't rushing but they are efficient. To understand the level of this place can be summed up in this: They have fresh cut flowers in the restrooms! - That kind of attention to detail and care makes them by far the nicest coffee shop I've ever been to. Cons: Too awesome. Wish it was open past 9 pm. read more

This might be one of my new favorite coffee shop. The last time I came to this location there was a Caribou here, so I decided to try out this "new" place, and I LOVED it!!! I walked in and was standing back looking at the menu, and the woman at the counter asked if I was ready to order. I told her that I had never been before, and she said "Oh! Well then let me explain the menu to you!" She then briefly went through the menu, and I was impressed by how helpful and enthusiastic she was! (So to the nice lady working on August 12 around 3 PM, you were fantastic!!!) She recommended an iced Nutella Latte, and it was AMAZING. It was pretty rich, but I loved it, and I will definitely be coming back. I love the atmosphere, it would be an awesome place to study. I saw a sign in the window that said they are moving down the street a little ways, so I hope their new location will be as spacious, comfortable, and study friendly as their current location! Thank you Glenview Grind! read more

Glenview Grind - Iced Nutella Latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This is by far my favorite coffee shop. I cannot comment on the quality of their food or specialty drinks, although they look great, as I have only had their dark and light roast, but both of those are excellent. I really like the atmosphere and the attitude of the baristas have, very casual and straightforward. I really enjoy how I can stop by on my way to work and no matter how long the line is (which it usually isnt), and I am in and out in less than two minutes. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the glenview area. read more

A nice respite from Starbucks but when busy service can be slow. People are very friendly. Cozy environment. Drive through available.

I tried this coffee shop in the new location because I prefer smaller shops over large chains when possible. I waited a very long time for my drink (I wasn't in a hurry and am a patient person. But it still felt like a very long time). I think the cashier might be in training and maybe one of the coffee makers? The reason I speculate was because the coffee maker was often just standing there seeming overwhelmed while his co worker did the bulk of the work. I think those employees need more support while they are still learning. The person behind me's 3 part order came before my one drink which I thought was odd. A woman complained that something was missing from her oatmeal and the manager (?) assured her it was not no less than 5 times before just fixing the issue. She's lucky that lady stayed polite. Don't mess with north shore moms, they'll go off, seriously. My coffee was underwhelming. I'm going to have to try the place across the street. This place isn't worth trouble. read more

This place is new and it is awesome we are so glad to have it in Glenview. I have my double espresso with sugar-free vanilla every day and I think there's is top notch. I will highly recommend you to my neighbors in the Glen keep up the good work read more

Awesome little spot! Great coffee, great personalities, huge selection of specialty drinks! Starbucks who?

Great coffee shop, clean space and nice place for business meetings. The staff is nice.

Obsessed with Glenview Grind! This place offers GREAT customer service by their fabulous staff. Sarah and Charlie are two of their outstanding baristas. Great free wifi, great coffee and yummy baked goods. This is my favorite study location: low key, soft rock music and CNN news reel silently playing in the background. read more

Today was my first trip to glenview grind and it was well worth it. The second I walked in we were greeted by the staff who were very friendly and made me laugh. I ordered an iced Nutella latte, and it didn't let me down. I've always had a guilty conscience about eating Nutella straight from the jar, but now I can get that same taste from this drink, without glares from others. I love trying out small, local businesses, and I can definitely say that I will be back for another visit! read more

This is definitely my favorite place to get coffee in the suburbs. They have a variety of different flavors you won't find at Starbucks. I highly recommend their Nutella latte, iced or hot it's delicious!! read more

You remember when you were in undergrad and struggling to find a place to hide away from all the distractions, and found what you thought was a unique coffee shop to call your own? Welcome to Glenview Grind! Notice, there is not a major University close to here for miles, so there's no college kids here unless on break. It feels like a hipster/modern coffee shop that probably roasts their own coffee and have baristas and experts in the fine art of coffee making. I have no idea if this is true, but I do have to say that the coffee is yummy. It's a change from the business of the major street it sits in in Glenview. It's quiet. It's warm. There's an older crowd of moms and dads, grandparents and soccer moms meeting for their book club. But don't let that deter you. Glenview Grind is cool! There's artists and musicians, writers and readers of all walks. There's plenty of seats and sturdy tables to study from. There's also comfy leather seats to relax in when you want to catch up with friends. Coffee shops like this are a dying breed with Starbucks taking a lion share of the business. This is NOT Starbucks. It's local. It's friendly. It's home. It's a meeting place for coffee, strangers and friends. Want to curl up with a book? I know a place. read more

Glenview Grind - Coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

First time here. Coffee is ok, nothing special but not bad. Had a $20 localflavor.com certificate which they said they couldn't honor the full amount (only paid amount) because that was for their old locationtwo blocks away. Didn't make sense since it's the same company and they just changed address not owners. Probably won't go back. read more

Hi all, just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that this establishment charges $1 for a large cup of "tap" water. Was there early today spent $5 dollars for an iced americano and ask for a cup water. After I left I noticed that they had added a $1 charge for the water. Unbelievable! Will never go back. (Called back to inquire and was informed that they charge for large cups of tap water.) - have never seen this anywhere! read more

Very good and creative drinks. So glad to have this place nearby! Atmosphere is very cozy, too.

Glenview Grind is awesome..... Sheila is always so friendly and welcoming and excellent at recommending drinks. No place is perfect. The fact that a local business man stepped up and brought a local coffee shop to Glenview and also gave peopletheir jobs back. If more people were like this our economy would be better.................. I go for the coffee. I dont really pay attention to the decor, however looks more spacious and open. They also have raffle going on to help a local Nun who feeds the hungry homeless. This guy is really giving back to his community. Stop critiqueing the little flaws ,and get out there and do something for your communitty and lets see if your spot on perfect. Glenview Grind is perfect in every sense and i drink the coffee everyday with no complaints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I come here every once and a while for a Nutella latte and a quick bit in the morning. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful even though they are dealing with tons of customers some days. The place is neat and welcoming and they even have a drive through. I've only really tasted one sandwich they had but it was basically like an egg McMuffin but heartier. Very good. The coffee is ok, but not outstanding in any way. All in all this is a pretty solid place. If you're gonna go to Starbucks for any standard coffee drink, just go here. It's way better and probably the same price or cheaper. read more

Great coffee, service and atmosphere. Limited food options available (mostly of a flour/sugar type). Employees are fun and the people are sprinted and lively. College students, professors, artists, and people of every kind. It can be a little rowdy noisy crowded and sometimes there are moments when it is quiet, complete silence, and you can hear your own breathing. Just kidding, you'll hear someone smirk, laugh, breathe, or fart before you hear you own breathing. Some days the lines are long, and some days the lines are short. I mostly order the hot beverages that included an espresso. read more

Lovely locally owned coffee shop, great beverages, friendly staff, cozy space with plenty of seating. Couple of nibbles in refrigerated case and baked goods. Great parking under/behind the building with rear entrance to shops. read more

Great local coffee shop in town! I love this place :) nice atmosphere too and plenty of parking

Shady all day today out front. Great weather for some work outside. Staff is super nice as usual!

Good drink selection (including milk options... they carry almond milk in addition to soy) and a cozy atmosphere.

I love Glenview Grind, but the new location feels smaller and less roomy. The area where you pickup your drinks is so crammed and you can't get passed if there is someone behind you. The drive through feels weird. It's a small area behind the store and it just doesn't feel write. I prefer the old Glenview Grind location. I always get the same thing: strawberry smoothie with whipped cream and it's always so good. I recommend getting that if you don't like coffee! Good friendly place to get sweet drinks! read more

Nice place. Coffee was good. Staff was friendly and free refills! Clean as well. Good spot.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly baristas, Intelligentsia coffee in mugs with free refills - I'm definitely coming back.

Solid Coffee shop. Very spacious and nice atmosphere. Good coffee and pastries. Beat's starbucks any day. Keep up the good work!

I am a repeat customer here good service and good coffee drinks Nice comfortable place to sit and enjoy cup of joe. I would not count on food just yet but like to support local shops and they've been good so far as service and coffee. read more

Nice people- good coffee. Neighborhood coffee shop that knows everyone. I ordered and the guy forgot my order- too busy chatting with other guest. Cashier gave me a free coffee for next time which was nice. I like that it's open as early as 530AM. read more

I love this place. Good coffee, staff behind the counter are helpful and considerate... And it just a great feeling place. I wish they would stay open longer in the evening! read more

Great place to get any kind of espresso drink ! Comfortable , laid-back atmosphere with good service is an every day occurrence in this place. I've been coming here since they opened and look forward to their new location couple of blocks away. Would definitely recommend! read more

This is an amazing place. The first thing I noticed walking in is the great atmosphere - the building is designed so that natural light comes in through the windows and gives the entire coffee shop a beautiful glow. Despite there being many customers, it was not loud at all. The Wildberry Blast smoothie was probably the best smoothie I've ever tasted, and for a really great price too. I was served very quickly as well. The staff deserve special applauding- I accidentally dropped my driver's license there, and Cal brought it to my house the same day with a free drink coupon. I highly recommend the Glenview Grind, and will definitely be coming back often. read more

While visiting Chicago, i went to Glenview Grind a few times (very close from where i was staying!)... Coffee is 'okay', (i had regular, plain, cappuccino) good flavor and aroma but way too hot! Pastries? Pretty bad!! A coffee shop that spent so much in setting a location that big (and a bit more) on branding should be worried about the quality of their BASIC offerings! Bottom line, I felt i was at a Starbucks location at the airport!!!! The good news? These are things can be fixed with some effort from the management!! read more

Always happy to go in to Glenview Grind and have the wonderful staff welcome me. I love that they have almond milk instead of just regular milk and soy milk. I am a blogger and can get a lot of work down with lots of table space and plug-ins near almost every table. read more

GREAT COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!! I had the S'Mores latte and boy was that amazing!!!! My buddy had a dark-roast house coffee that he also enjoyed. I like the atmosphere of this coffee house and the staff was very friendly. Great place!!! read more
