The Dalles was still asleep when we pulled up at 5am on a road trip. All but the barrista, that is! She was cheerful and efficient. I loved my breve, which really highlighted the quality Stumptown beans they use. My husband tried the Mexican Mocha. He said it was fine but too sweet & strong with cinnamon syrup. Next time he said he would get the plain mocha. Because yes! There will be a next time! We were glad Grinders was open. Not much else was at that time of morning! It wasn't too far out of the way to get back on Eastbound I-84 either. read more

Grinders is our go to spot for coffee as we live at that end of town coffee is good. It used to be better maybe they switched coffee brands IDK but still great! The staff is great and they always make us feel welcome we appreciate this place for warm drinks and cold! the blended vanilla chai is one of our favorites! I thought they use DCR coffee? Dillanos Coffee Roasters from Sumner WA. but I might be mistaken! Bye the way order some DNC coffee from their website you will not be disappointed!! read more

Perfect first experience at Grinders Coffee yesterday, (Sunday). We had enjoyed another great visit at Jim's, and I asked where we could find good coffee. Without any hesitation, we were recommended to go to Grinders. It was excellent. The service at the window was friendly and engaging and the Stumptown coffee was so tasty. We were also offered sleeves and beans that accompanied the coffee treats. read more

What a cute coffee stand with easy drive through! Lots of unique coffee drinks. The s'more sounded amazing but I was afraid I would like it too much! It's loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows. Maybe next time and I'll only drink half! Got a nin fat Mexican Mocha instead and it was so good, perfectly spiced. In addition to drinks, they have lots of treats. They sell stroopwaffles but theirs are called Rip Van Wafels. Very thin waffle cookies with caramel sandwiched in between. Scones, muffins and other treats, too. Located in the Ace Hardware parking lot, it's super convenient. read more

See all

This was the worst coffee I have ever., the coffee was very acidic and bitter tasting. I would not recommend us to anyone. There is another coffee company up the street. read more

Delish coffee shack! Friendly service! Definitely recommend! Will be back! Yummmmmmmmm!

Friday August 2. Came here for the first time today. Ordered a few drinks that were all good. we got a white chocolate peanut butter blend n bean drink and it is soooo good. The girl working was nice too. We will be back Updated review. We came back on Sunday evening, 2 days after our first visit, there were 2 different girls working from previous visit. We ordered the exact same drink and it wasn't as good :( more on the runny side with slush ice, kinda like a iced drink that was hardly blended. As before the drink was smooth, more milkshake texture but still a blended coffee drink. Will still come back and try again if we're ever in town. read more

Stumptown coffee is served at Grinders and it's one of my favorites. Employees are very friendly and helpful, taking great care in getting orders right, remembering regulars and semi-regulars. Prices are good and completely in line with other coffee places. They also have a small lobby for walk up customers, which is nice if you need hardware from True Value or the window lines are long. read more

Decided to pull in here before getting our day started. The iced Mexican mocha was a wonderful pick-me-up for our day.

Great blended coffees! They support local teachers and any business who does that will get regular visits from me!

I really wanted to love this place. It had a great rating and we were passing through town and were excited to try this place. Ordered 2 - 20 oz mochas and 1 - 16 oz. vanilla latte. All were hot. The 20 oz were supposed to have 4 shots. The taste was just blah! I also told them all were supposed to be made with whole milk. Pretty sure the 20 oz drinks were 2 percent cause they tasted bland and watery. The 16 oz had whole milk but no flavor too! I am not a professional barista but am pretty sure the espresso beans were not ground fine enough to get that rich strong espresso taste. They were also training people and not sure if they just didn't know how to made an espresso! Will not be back again. We left a good tip too! read more

Very friendly staff and good coffee. Now I know where to stop for coffee the next time I'm in town.

The baristas were extremely short with us and rude, and the coffee was very burnt and bitter. Would not recommend.

I have been a quasi-daily customer with Grinders for about two months now. Out of all the coffee available on my commute to work, this is the best. They proudly serve Stumptown - which of course puts them in another league of espresso. Baristas are friendly, music is loud, and the shots are pretty near perfect. Keep up the good work! Saving me from flipped birds daily. read more

I wish i had more hands, so that i could give Grinders Coffee 4 thumbs up. I never pass through town without stopping for a quick cup of Stumptown's finest. With the double drive-thru option, indoor and outdoor seating, as well as walk up windows, this place is always in business. Whenever i go to Grinders, i've always left with the positive energy these baristas pour in to every cup. With bright smiles and happy demeanor, they seem truly interested in making my day better. read more

small place but is so welcoming and fun great brew and nice sit down area out side very pleasant. read more

Grinders Coffee - a menu in the rear view mirror of a car - Coffee & Tea Near Me - The Dalles, Oregon

They: * Didn't understand the order I read to them off of their "specials" sign. * Didn't make the right drink. * Gave us a Strawberry shake (instead of Strawberry Lemonade smoothie) that made my wife sick. Head to Dog River Coffee in Hood River instead, or even Dutch Bros. down the road in The Dalles. read more

Love the coffee, but customer service lacking. Baristas tend to talk with their friends when they have lines of cars waiting. Today one was showing a friend a tattoo/her nails. If we weren't in the middle of 5 cars (each side waiting) we would've left. read more

I'm addicted! I have only really ordered one drink over and over to be honest. The vanilla Italian creme soda. Which is so delicious! Some people know how to make them well and this is one of those places. I love that you drive thru here but you don't talk to a speaker, you have face to face communication on what you would like to order. Yes it takes a little longer because they can't make your order until you get to the window...but totally worth it. Every staff member that I have had contact with so far has been very friendly as well as upbeat. I would go here everyday if I could. I need to venture outside my Italian soda fix and try one of their coffees. As soon as I do I will update my review. Everything else still rings true! The management is definitely hiring all the right people with great customer service! read more

Tastes better than any chain. If you live in The Dalles or visiting The Dalles, OR, please try out this place. We really liked the coffees ( both hot and cold) served. The latte is just superb. A coffee been chocolate is a gift you would get. read more

I got the Kona Mocha Blend n bean freeze and it was so delicious! Definitely would recommend to anyone passing through Dalles looking for a great coffee break. And the prices are very reasonable for the varieties of coffee they offer. read more

The local, smaller version of Dutch Bros., but with less crazy drinks. But I see only positive here. Awesome place to get a good, quick cup of joe. Not a WHOLE LOT of variety on the menu, but what there is is great! And the small menu helps me make up my mind, let's be honest lol. Definitely recommend. Ditch the Dutch and find the Grind! ;D read more

Grinders - a too cool for school Coffee Hut that serves luke-warm coffee and a sour attitude. Never returning after they left that bitter taste in my mouth - NOT WORTH IT. read more

Pretty much a drive through, there might be a tiny space to sit inside but hard to tell. The affordable coffee is really good and the people are friendly. Ask for a punch card because you will be back! read more

The coffee is good, the staff is amazing! You always get a friendly face & a smile! Sometimes the wait is a bit long, but to me that just proves they are worth it! read more

Pretty much my go to coffee place in TD. Starbucks is fine, Dutch bros is solid as well, however, in my opinion, Grinders has them both beat, easily. First of all, the staff is local, hometown girls who are cute, friendly and fun. Secondly Stumptown coffee (I believe that's their supplier) is outstanding. The wait time/lines aren't long, and they seem to move pretty quickly. All in all, Grinders is a great choice if you're cruising dirty and need a boost read more

The Campfire "iced" is amazing! Wasn't as sweet as the description sounded and has the perfect finish of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Yum

I'm learning to like Matcha Tea, her first time making it. Good job kid. Very nice people great drinks....

Always a pleasure to see the smiling faces at Grinders on a daily basis. Bonus, they serve up Stumptown, one of my favorite coffees.

There are a few times in life that you want a good tasting hot drink. I love their hot Chai drinks. They are so yummy. The staff are so friendly and smile all the time. read more
