Seat cushions. Almost all of the chairs look like this.

I was in Ephrata for the day and decided to stop in to Griddle and Grind. The place looked cute online so we headed there. The restaurant is in a historic property and it's very pretty. The young lady at the register was very nice and helpful. The crepes were okay. We ordered two different crepes, and waffles. Both crepes came with salsa poured over them. I wish that was made clear beforehand in the menu because I would have asked for it on the side. The sauces / salsas overwhelmed all of the other flavors including the crepe so that I couldn't really taste it which was disappointing. The waffle was entirely too sweet for me. They were served with a red syrup underneath, had crunchy sugar in them, whip cream and then a side of syrup. It was overly sweet. The only thing I enjoyed was the soup. I may return and try other items on the menu since it seems like lot of people do enjoy the food here. I did take issue with the messiness in the restaurant. Upon entering the first thing I noticed was a bunch of maintenance equipment visible in the entry right beside the stairs that looks like it lives there. When we ordered we went through the foyer to the dining room. I was a little caught off guard by the chairs. They are really stained. I didn't want to sit on them. I did not expect that and it killed the vibes a bit.

Gorgeous exterior with a lovely front porch and cute patio out back. Variety of crepes, breakfast sandwiches and bowls on the menu. Service was friendly and prompt. I ordered a berry crepe and blueberry and cream chai (monthly special), both of which looked and tasted great.

Coffee flights & Crepes

LOVE LOVE LOVED this experience coffee flights and crepes make the perfect breakfast date with your friend, family, lover or yourself! The vibes were absolutely immaculate, food was perfect and the staff was so so incredibly sweet. 10/10 experience, def recommend, will be back again!

I drink coffee every single day. I grind my own beans for pour over, but I love cold brew and lattes just the same. I had such high hopes for this place, but the hot brewed coffee tasted exactly like cardboard. It was honestly the worst cup of coffee i've had in recent memory. It's unfortunate because the place itself is adorable. The outside has historic charm, they have both indoor and outdoor courtyard seating, and what looked like a decently sized menu. The staff member was friendly and the prices seemed fair. I wouldn't recommend the hot coffee.

10/30/22 Updated Review: I was very surprised that this place was open on a Sunday (I don't remember if it was always this way) but most cafes in Ephrata are closed on Sundays. I brought my boyfriend here and we ordered dessert crepes for lunch. I got the Lemon Cheesecake crepe and he got the Pumpkin Spice crepe. Both were so delicious. The Pumpkin crepe came with a scoop of ice cream. We also got a side of seasoned potatoes in a little bowl. For some reason again I felt like the potatoes were underdone. Some chunks still had that raw bite to them when we ate them. I mentioned this in my first review of the place as well. Overall, would come back here again to have another dessert crepe. Also highly recommend the hot caramel latte because it was sweet and not bitter at all.

Berry bowl and hash browns

This is a great little breakfast spot we discovered on our way to green dragon. Staff was friendly and helpful and the portions are fresh and generous! We would definitely go again. I had their signature crepe and a honey bee latte! My guy had the very berry bowl and loved it. Full of fresh fruit and yogurt. Treat yourself and go here!

Rosemary latte

We stopped here for the crepes! The restaurant is off a main road and we parked in the street and paid a meter. When you walk in you go to the right to order your food and then you get a number stand and you seat yourself inside or out. We choose the cute outdoor seating. It was shady and so comfortable. Our food came out 5-10 minutes after we ordered, so fast!! We ordered the ham & jam crepe with a side of hummus and veggies. The crepe had a thick piece of ham and reminded me of the holidays. The hummus side was very good. I ordered their peach special drink and it was very good! I'd order it again and again. My husband ordered their chipotle steak and eggs crepe. Some bites were spicy and some weren't. He loved it. The latte was very good, but we could not taste the rosemary. It was such a relaxing visit. A win for us and we will be back to try their other menu items. Thank you for allowing us to have a lovely date,

Eileen S.

Super cute place and amazing menu! We enjoyed our breakfast and coffees and left thinking, "We will have to come back to try other things on the menu!" You can tell the place really cares about what they are serving.

Service was quick and pleasant. The crepes were delicious and the shop itself was very nice and quaint. We ate at the outdoor dining area and it was nice!

Woo! A new specialty resturaunt in downtown Ephrata! The Griddle and Grind is located next to Sheldons, and is a Crepery and coffee/baked goods resturaunt. Place your order at the counter, and food will be delivered to your table. Seating of about 8 tables provides a cozy atmosphere. Crepes include hearty breakfast options: Greek, western, egg and cheese, veggie, and steak and eggs. Savory crepes include crab rangoon, monte cristo, cheesesteak, chicken fajita, turkey club, and chicken pesto. And thebest, the dessert- include nutella, caramel apple, smores, berry and cream, and mocha creme. A variety of coffees and smoothies are also available, as are a soup of the day and salads and baked goods. Staff is experienced from other area resturaunts, and the opening Saturday seemed smooth. And the food? I may not be a crepe aficionado, but our Monte Cristo and chicken pesto were very good, very tasty. Coffee from Little Amps coffee roasters in Harrisburg was good as well. And, they will be selling ice cream from Fox Meadows! Kudos to the owners Sierra and Shayleen for bring an excellent food option to downtown Ephrata!

Opened in late 2018, this business is located in a nicely maintained old Georgian-style house with charming exterior details. The cafe is owned by Sierra Hrubochak and Shayleen Wiker. The ladies lease the house from Ephrata Economic Development Corp. My wife, daughter, her 4 friends and I came here for crepes. My daughter, wife and I got an Apple Crisp crepe, a Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake crepe and a cup of coffee. The Apple Crisp crepe had fire-roasted Fuji apple slices in a maple brown butter glaze topped with powdered sugar and almond & oat granola. There was fresh whipped cream on the side. The filling was disappointing. There were only 6 slices of apple, which filled less than half of the crepe. The rest of the crepe was empty. There was barely enough glaze to coat only the apples. More apples and a lot more glaze were needed. The crepe itself was not so good that it could be eaten alone. The granola was good tasting but dry. Overall, the crepe and filling had a dry mouthfeel. The whipped cream helped with the dryness. It was mildly sweet and fluffy light. This dessert needs improvement.    The Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecake crepe had a cream cheese filling with banana slices and peanut butter topped with a dark chocolate drizzle. There was fresh whipped cream on the side. There was plenty of filling. This was a rich flavorful dessert! Great flavors all around!    The coffee was strong and slightly bitter. They add creamer if you want it because it's not self-serve. Sweetener is self-serve. They use Little Amps coffee. I didn't ask about the coffee beans that were used. They sell several varieties of Little Amps coffee beans and instant coffee. My daughter's 4 friends tried the savory crepes, and they all enjoyed their choices. Other than the Apple Crisp crepe, we'd like to try more of their crepes. The service was friendly, polite and helpful. Speed of service was quick. The dining areas and restroom were clean. The atmosphere was great if you love antiquish things. This cafe has charm and personality that make it warm and inviting.

Griddle and Grind sooooo good. Warm and cozy. Friendly staff. The crepes....#bangin They have they Italian flavored sodas that they make. Dreamy!!! Sooo refreshing. Can't wait for a hot summers day. I've had their savory crepes time to go back for some sweets!

Steak and Egg savory crepe
Jeff R.

This place hit the spot on a crisp fall morning. The steak and egg crepe was great, but it lacked seasoning. All the components were well executed, but it was bland. The dessert crepe, fluffed nutter, was absolutely amazing. Service was quick, efficient and kind. If the savory crepe was seasoned it would be five stars. The roasted potatoes lacked seasoning as well. The true score here is 3.5

Gracie's Breakfast delivers a hearty, well-balanced meal that hits every savory and sweet craving…read more  The main dish features two fresh, cage-free local eggs cooked sunny-side up with vibrant, velvety yolks. They're paired with savory, thick-cut Irish bacon and a generous portion of house-made potato rounds, seasoned well with a great crisp on the outside while staying soft inside.  The bread selection really sets this meal apart. You get perfectly toasted sourdough with house-made apple butter on the side, plus a slice of grilled banana nut bread. The banana bread has a light dusting of powdered sugar and is served warm with a generous dollop of whipped cinnamon butter that melts right in.  To top it off, the iced pumpkin spice latte served in a glass jar is beautifully spiced and creamy without being overly sweet--a perfect pairing for a rich morning meal.

The sweet bread board was delicious and a great way to try the variety of bread. Would highly recommend the banana nut bread if you're looking to do just one of them. This place is known for their bacon so we also had to try the bacon sampler and I think the hardwood bacon was everyone's favorite. Service was fast and friendly. The only thing I wish they had was a fresh fruit side option for our daughter to go with her food but luckily there's plenty of great farm stands nearby

We were recently in the area for our son's wedding. I desperately wanted to find a place that made…read moregood dried beef gravy over toast, a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. We saw this diner and dedicated to stop. I had my doubts judging a book by its cover, so I opened up Facebook to check reviews. The general consensus was that the food is good, but the service needed work. So, considering I can't eat service but I can eat good food, we went in. The first lady to greet us did so with a big smile. She was friendly, helpful and kind. Our waitress, Jess, followed soon after. She too came with a smile and a greeting and she listened closely while my wife detailed her food allergies. She was genuinely concerned that my wife would be able to safely eat her meal and took detailed observation of her needs. Me? I got what I was looking for. I found my dried beef gravy over toast and enjoyed that with a side of hashbrowns and sausage links. The sausage was an up charge, but that was fine. It was good and a healthy serving. Sausage was not too spicy but not bland either. The dried beef gravy was a little thicker than I am used to, but it had good flavor, such as I enjoy. Orange juice was actually sweet. It wasn't that sour diner stuff you usually get at such places. Jess came back to our table frequently and made sure we were well taken care of. She was very outgoing and we talked for a little. She celebrated with us about our son's wedding and congratulated us. The meal was good. The service was good. I came close to a four star review over cleanliness. This is clearly an old diner and the floors were stained and a bit greasy. I believe they were probably mopped, but they should probably be stripped and cleaned professionally. The floor was pretty grimy. Not filthy with food, just greasy. Maybe it's a diner thing. The tables were well stocked with a wide range of everything from creamers and sugar to condiments. The booths were roomy and accommodated my size. The bathrooms were barely acceptable. I know people can make a mess of a bathroom, so I always try to grade on a curve, but the men's room was pretty dirty. The mirror was covered in hard water stains, the trash can was overflowing and the floor was dirty. I spared my reader a picture of the urinal, but it was pretty bad. I almost bumped it down a star for bathrooms. The windows in the diner also appear to be water damaged, giving it a worn out look from inside. Not material to the food or service though. Parking is ample. ADA spots are available. Overall I'd say quality of food was five. Service was five. Cleanliness was four stars. If you're looking for something nice, this isn't it. If you're looking for nostalgia or grandma's cooking, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place to grab a decent bite to eat and run, it is a solid contender any day.

CUSTOMERS DON'T COME HERE!!! I PAID for EVERYTHING I used so don't EVER call me a thief!!!…read more I'm extremely disappointed by the way they handled this as you can see the TEXT I received from Cocalico Coffee accusing me of stealing because I added some cream to my latte and added four Splenda packets. I have never used or took any syrups from this establishment, I don't even use syrups, too much sugar!! I never even took extra Splenda or napkins. The MANY times I've been in there now I feel like I'm singled out and have been being watched the entire time. Why?? Creepy to be quite honest! I feel violated!! If there was a concern about how I was customizing my drink or about the amount of cream or sweetener I used, I would have been perfectly willing to discuss it. However, being told that using a small amount of cream and four Splendas is "considered stealing" AT YOUR ESTABLISHMENT made me feel incredibly disrespected and unnecessarily accusatory. I have been a customer and have supported this business for quite awhile, so receiving a message that essentially labels me a thief over this I'm disgusted. The bracelets I bought I cut up as well, "self care club" and "can't steal my joy" seems hypocritical to wear. So they are in the garbage. Put anything behind the counter if you want to measure each drop and packet. Don't forget a dropper. Customers deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. I hope management will reconsider how situations like this is communicated in the future. I'm done. It comes down to cream I used to top off my latte and a couple of splenda? I don't need you and neither does the people who support me! My family, my friends and ALL of my followers have my back and are coming with me! Don't eat the food either because they're cheap and nothing tastes good. My kid could make a sandwich better than this with play dough.

Absolutely and "udderly" amazing! Our party of 3 all agreed…read moreit was worth the 30+ minute drive, and will visit again. Beverages consisted of: Cinnamon Latte (served slightly warm, but still very good, and a generous amount), Coke Float, and a Raspberry Tea. Soups: 1 cup and 1 bowl of Lobster bisque (hot creamy and a sweet buttery flavor), and a cup of Turkey Bowtie Vegetable (delicious and full of turkey and whole vegetables. The turkey chunks were slightly dry but still tasty.) Main dishes: Ruben sandwich (One of the best Rubens I ever had! The bread was delicious and beautifully grilled, ample meat with a perfect balance of cheese, sauerkraut and dressing), Turkey Club, sans tomatoes (again, perfect balance of ingredients with beautifully toasted bread), and a Grilled Ham and Cheese (good and well made). All the sandwiches came with crispy chips and pickles. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! Desserts: Meadow Tea ice cream with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles- a total winner! The favor was impressive and worth another future trip! Guernsey- absolutely incredible with its hot caramel and nutty flavor combination! Wow!! Our waitress was super sweet and attentive, without hovering. She was prompt, polite, and professional. The ambience is laidback and surrounds visitors with a fun and uniquely decorated atmosphere. The noise level is average and space between tables is ample enough for personal and intimate conversations within your private table. The bathrooms were super clean and even carried the theme with wooden stall doors and ice cream scoop handles. The only downside was there were no paper towels to dry your hands. I would recommend stopping by this fun and quirky restaurant/creamery. If you don't stay for some comfort food or desserts, take a pint home. You can even sit outside and enjoy a cone if you would just like to enjoy the rural air on a summer evening. Bonus- if someone you know loves cows, ice cream, or comfort food- this place is a total winner!

I ordered the Elvis Crepe from the Sweet Crepes section of the menu and a side of Hash Browns with Southwest sauce. They were both delicious and filling, and it was a good combination of sweet and savory. My partner got a Savory Crepe, which he also enjoyed. The only disappointing part of our meal was the iced lattes. We both ordered different flavors - one Nutella latte and one with strawberry syrup. We couldn't taste any of the flavoring in them at all. Had our server not told us which was which, we would never have been able to tell. They just tasted like plain lattes with no added flavor. Especially disappointing considering you pay extra for the flavored syrups. Overall, a great choice for delicious food and friendly service, but maybe grab your latte later from one of the other many coffee shops in the area.
