    A decent coffee shop I'd say. They are attached to A CBD shop and they have CBD lattes and drinks available. I got the salted brown miso caramel latte iced. It was good nothing out of this world. I also got a plain iced latte. Also good. Nice espresso imo. Parking is a PAIN. Would not come during busy times of the day.

    Such a cute spot! I loved how it was a coffee shop connected to a CBD shop and both spaces were very nicely decorated. I had heard good things about their matcha and I got the honey lavender matcha to try. The matcha quality was fine in my opinion, however, there was too much honey and not enough lavender flavor for my liking. Overall, my drink was okay. It was a nice space to catch up with friends and I could definitely see myself studying here if I wake up early enough to grab a parking spot and seating. The parking is limited and so this is more of a grab and go place. This is a great place to get some drinks after doing some hot yoga at the black swan near by.

    Grinders Coffee Bar is located right in the heart of the Kirby/Rice Village area. It's next to Smoothie King off of Kirby Dr. This was the first time we had been and we each ordered a drink and food item. Parking: Parking is very limited here. They have 3 spots in front of the store and a couple of spots on the side of the store so be cautious of that when trying to park here. There seems to be parking along the side street near the store. Ambiance: Grinder is connected to The CBD Apothecary so some of their coffees and drinks have options to add CBD. The inside is nice and modern. There are 3 small tables inside and a small bar area so seating is limited here. The CBD store has its own bar area which I think you can sit at if you order a drink from Grinders. Drinks: my girlfriend got an iced vanilla latte and I got the Strawberry Kiss which is a strawberry matcha drink. My girlfriend said her drink was good but not the best she's had. My matcha drink was also good and had good matcha flavor but not the best matcha drink I've had. I did see them preparing the matcha in the traditional whisking method so I appreciated that! Food: we got a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast taco and a sausage and egg empanada. Both food items were good but we liked the empanada better. They both came with a side of green salsa for the taco and an chimichurri sauce for the empanada. The food was honestly better than the drinks we ordered. Grinders is a solid coffee shop. Try their empanadas and enjoy the variety of drinks on the menu!

    I am completely enamored with this coffee shop. This place is genuinely such a gem to find. I got the Chocolate Diesel with the caramel foam...one of the top ten drinks I've EVER sipped on. The kind baristas were so chill, and they even explained what they have on the menu. I pray that this place is forever prosperous and money long.

    Omg! I had no idea that this was the OG location before the Wild locations! Super friendly staff and they are willing to give great recommendations! I got the honey lavender (hot) and a steak and potato empanada! Empanada was so big and FILLING and ONLY $7! The only con is parking can be a nightmare lol- I was lucky!

    Service service and service! It's on point for Grinders Coffee. This doesn't take away from their drinks just gives it the extra touch. I ordered an iced americano and asked about seasonal. I was delighted by a marshmallow latte topped with a toasted bite. The process was smooth and the baristas skills showed. Additionally the pastries/cookies were a chocolaty delight. The snickerdoodle was a chunky spiced goodness as the chocolate based cookie with nuts was great. Also next door or rather an open doorway away is a convenient CBD shop...which means it's an option on their drink menu as well. We didn't partake but for anyone interested it's ideal. I recommend adding this as a Houston coffee stopping point.

    Had a friend introduce me to this place and I'm so happy she did. Although I was not able to try the CBD options the original coffee and strawberry matcha was delicious.

    MORNING BLISS Sunlight. Foam. Crispy layers. Peace. I stopped in for a treat and was not disappointed. The service? Warm and welcoming. The coffee? My "Honeybun" was creamy, dreamy, and just the right touch of sweet. And this croissant? Buttery, flaky, crispy delicious with that savory sausage tucked inside. Highly recommend starting your day here. There's something about sipping by the window as the sun hits just right Small café vibes, BIG flavor energy. #HoneybunLatte #CozyCornerCafé #PastryLoversUnite #SunlitSips #BurcieApproved

    I was recommended Grinders by a friend who said their matcha was the best in town. I decided to give it a shot. The parking was tight and tricky (especially to pull out) when I arrived, they unfortunately let me know ahead of time that they unfortunately were out of matcha. The CBD store connected is associated with Wild. Which I believe it's also has its own coffee chain, and wish they were more upfront of their association with it. I got a chai tea with two shots, after tip it was a total of $10. It was an alright drink, I couldn't finish it and I tend to finish my drinks as soon as I sit down. Other than that, the places was cute, clean, well kept and the employees were communicative and friendly.

    Grinders the coffee shop brand of the parent company Wild. They make a solid cup of coffee! They are my favorite place to get coffee. I think they use the Amaya brand for their coffees. I usually get a oat milk latte but occasionally I'll explore and try one of their seasonal creations. Theh also have an assortment of pastries available along with vegan options! This location is one part coffee shop and the other part sells various thc products and the associated products that go along with it. There is also an option to order online for your drink is ready when you get there!

    But for the parking situation (limited spaces and adjacent street parking is by permit only), this would be a 5 star spot. Really diverse menu with fantastic seasonal drinks, and a food menu that was really good. The empanadas are absolutely huge (2 of them fed three of us quite well).

    I got a strawberry kiss matcha and a matcha with sugar free vanilla and both were so good! I also got a goat cheese croissant that I really enjoyed. The employee was kind and friendly. I'll definitely be back!

    Vanilla Latte with Cold Foam
    Kim P.

    One of the yummiest iced vanilla lattes with cold foam I've had in Houston! The baristas were friendly and helpful when I ordered. The drinks are sweet and creamy, and I also tried the iced matcha latte as well. The cold foam itself is thick and creamy, making it one of the most enjoyable parts of the drink in my opinion. The location itself is quite small and the parking lot is even more limited. There were only 3 small circular tables to sit at against a wall booth, making it not the best place to get work done if that is a location you're looking for. Fortunately, it wasn't busy when I went, making it a decent spot for me to sit and work in. Otherwise, it isn't a coffee spot I go to often when I want to get work done. However, for a quick pick-me-up, their drinks are delicious!

For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

What I eventually found both surprised and delighted me, and Nate's gets a thumbs up overall. Pictures are deceiving as I thought the place would be larger but it's a tight fit for bigger groups. There are only a handful of tables but plenty of character. It's also a bit grimey, unsightly and even a tinge dodgey, which may be a deal breaker for others but is an immediate appeal to me. Two things immediately standout when it comes to the food: the portions and the prices are outstanding. The offerings are as no frills as the rest of the establishment. The other surprise was how much influence there was from Mexican cuisine. Hash browns were the goal, but chorizo and chilaquiles were the bonus. Another surprise? The hash browns weren't as crispy as I would have wanted. It's entirely plausible that I came on an off day, which happens. However everything else was on point as my chorizo skillet was absolutely dynamite, pancakes were fluffy and indulgent, breakfast tacos were outstanding, and my eggs were perfectly softly scrambled. Even the bacon and sausage patties were delicious, which is a tall order considering it's not likely made in house. Lastly, as someone who drinks cold water like it's a hobby (#1), I'm especially grateful for the massive 32 oz cup of water, which is perfect for someone who drinks like a camel. The staff is not the quickest but they are friendly. Spanish may go further with most and they're not the quickest when it comes to greeting folks or cleaning tables. The food is the star and consider paying in cash. ____________ (#1) I'm thirsty.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register.

I was catching up with my sister, we were there about 5 hours and the restaurant was empty. A mature-aged Asian woman came in, spotted the restroom door, and proceeded to it. The manager/owner (older man with balding hair) RAPIDLY went from the other side of the restaurant to intercept the woman right at the restroom entrance. He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding.
