With a few hours open each day, it's a super quiet and bright spot to work. Bonus, if you bring your kids they can play inside the indoor playground. The use Hardy Coffee and have Hardy treats, so you know it's good! I typically just opt for a black coffee because we don't often get a ton of time to get coffee before service starts, but they're bigger than the free cups and every once in a while it's a nice switch up. Everyone working is really nice and friendly and it's a nice place to mingle while you wait for your drinks and meet other parishioners.

I was able to stop in today to try their new summer menu because I was craving some chai and tried their new Breakfast-In-Bed Chai tea latte with their homemade cold foam and also grabbed one of there biscoff and cream that looked like a giant poptart and was the best thing I ever had!!! I can't wait to check out the rest of the summer menu! The also have a variety of different homemade cold foam options as well that look out of this world!! They have an outdoor patio on the side and some seating inside as well! Can't wait to come back for more!!!

The decor is minimal but I loved the different gold mirrors. When I ordered the cashier at the counter was all smiles and just a delight to talk to, she was super friendly. She was very helpful since it was the first time being there she explained everything so it was easy to make a good decision. I ordered a flight so I was able to sample for different signature flavors. My favorite was the Midnight Coconut and Crème Brûlée. I would recommend this coffee shop to anyone who is looking for a good coffee shop!

There are three flavors of smoothies to choose from: mango, wild berry, and strawberry. The Crescent Brûlée is a blend of caramel and vanilla, topped with whipped cream and a burnt sugar top. Both of the drinks we had tasted good. I'm not a big smoothie person--in fact, this is my first time ordering a smoothie in a long time--and I was very pleased with it. It was very smooth. Their menu is pretty extensive, in my opinion: coffee, tea, matcha, seasonal lattes, energy drinks, as well as some pastries and breakfast sandwiches. I also appreciated how easy it was to read their menu. I feel like a lot of the time in coffee shops, their menus are all over the place and you have to ask a lot of questions. This menu was nicely written. The shop has a very welcoming vibe, with different plants and displays. They also sell a few different things, such as clothes, sage, stickers, and different stones. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this coffee shop, and I will definitely be back.

The decor is warm and homey while remaining cute and trendy. Their seasonal decorations are always adorable, and the ambience is perfect if you are looking to study with friends, telework solo, or maybe grab a coffee date. They also have a virtual kiosk and options for your drink to be ordered in advance and brought to your table, which is an introvert's dream. I have never been disappointed with drinks from the Grind, and I most recently purchased the French toast iced latte, which was phenomenal! It was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I do all of their drink options! The English muffin sandwich was good but their menu items are pricey and not necessarily worth it, not that they aren't good, just nothing to write home about as far as the sandwiches. I hope to try a pastry next time and my opinion may differ.

The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.) I might visit again, but maybe at one of the other locations, if acoustics were more promising.

I was going to get brewed coffee but saw the special caramel shaken espresso so I switched course. I'm glad I did because it was delicious and not too sweet! It also had 3 shots of espresso so the perfect amount of caffeine.

One reason why we came here is it was also on UpSide, we didnt get our receipt to redeem our promo. My fiancé got the veggie omlete and didnt finish it saying it was bland and oily. I got the Tres Leches pancakes, what I really wanted was the French toast, but that was an error on our part. Too be honest I wanted to be WOW'D by these pancakes, but it was pretty basic. They were regular pancakes with some extras to flavor it. Overall food was mid, being that my fiancé didnt finish her good and my pancakes and eggs were OK, and we didnt get our receipt. This is from a perspective of someone who grew up in the bay area, lived in PHX for while, and now reside in NM. Also when we saw Chilaquiles on the menu, we we're like "ok" this spot going to have flavor. We're open to come back due to the variety on the menu, but this round of breakfast was just ok.
