It was a busy morning but the service was still pretty quick. I ordered the world famous breakfast biscuit plate and my husband ordered the breakfast plate. The food was delicious but could have been served a little hotter. I love that they offer a Morningstar Farms veggie sausage and even a gluten free bagel option. They have really good coffee. My husband had the regular house coffee and I had the pumpkin spice cold brew. I definitely recommend this place.

Great ambiance to also just hang out or study/journal. Service was friendly and timely. I got the Iced Lavender Latte with oat milk. It was delicious, the lavender syrup was perfectly flowery and sweetened. There were so many food options on the menu, it took a while to order because everything looked so good. I ended up getting the Bruschetta Toast and the Nutella Croissant. My friend had the Acai Bowl and French Toast. The croissant was nice, pastry was large and filled with nutella. I shared with my friend and really liked the Acai bowl. It was presented beautifully and tasted very fresh. The French Toast was smaller than I thought and pretty sweet but good nonetheless. For me, the star of the show was the Bruschetta Toast. I loved everything about it: from the avocado spread, the soft mozzarella balls, the cute microgreens on top, the cherry tomatoes that add a little acidity, and the balsamic sauce. At first the balsamic smelled strongly of vinegar but it worked so well with all the ingredients, it was not overpowering as I thought. Such a well-balanced dish. I had to end the whole experience with the last bite of toast because everything else was pretty sweet, and it was just that amazing. I highly recommend this place and I'll be back to try other things off their menu.

Located close to family, I was overjoyed to discover this family owned coffee house in Hixson!…read more Although a busy atmosphere when I arrived yesterday mid-morning, there was plenty of parking and plenty of comfy spots both inside and outside to choose from to hang out in while getting a little writing done. After a staff member kindly answered my question about tea options, I order a small latte and a Better Biscuit. I then chose a cushy yellow chair at a smaller table by the front window to enjoy the food from first. After eating, I took my latte outside to enjoy one of the cozy outdoor sofa spots since there was a breeze in the air. The Better Biscuit is a slightly under $5 massive creation. This biscuit had so much tasty egg, cheese, and bacon mix perfectly scooped into big, fluffy dough! It was such a delish treat. And the small latte was large in both size and flavor. Drip is a great addition in Hixson.

The location is easy to find with a large sign out front. There is a large parking lot with angled…read morespaces on both sides of the building. There are handicapped spaces near the door but if you use the painted walkway you will be taking extra steps to use the ramp. It is in the middle of the side of the building so you would then need to walk up to the front to get to the door. Also, all parking is across a traffic lane where the drive through backs up when it is busy. In general it's fine, but could have been better designed. It is bright inside with lots of windows. There are many seating options from booths and tables to comfy chairs. The interior is a semi-industrial style with open steel beams and shiny silver ducting. The overall vibe is comfy and inviting. We ordered at the counter. The menu is above and behind and is large enough to see from further away so you have time to figure out what you want. You get a number for the table when you order food, and they will call your name for drinks. It can get a bit loud so it was difficult to hear the names being called unless you were standing near the counter. The food took about five minutes to be brought to the table. The Steel Curtain sandwich and Southwest wrap, along with a caramel macchiato and vanilla streamer came to $23. The sandwich was filling and very flavorful. The Southwest wrap was surprisingly good, and the cup of pico made for a nice addition. The wrap had filling throughout, with neither end being just the burrito wrap. The caramel macchiato was very good. The caramel flavor did not taste processed and the ratios were done right. The vanilla steamer was also good, with the right amount of vanilla without being overpowering. A later trip tried the salted caramel mocha which was average. For some reason the caramel flavor was off and the cold foam did not really add anything to improve the flavor. This is not one I would order again. On a separate trip we tried the Better biscuit. This was surprisingly and disappointingly small. It was much more like a snack than breakfast. The flavor was good but the small size meant we needed to order something else to sate our hunger. We decided to try the Dripsters breakfast bites. These alone would also be a snack but they are advertised as such. They are quite good and dipped in Ranch dressing makes for a surprisingly good taste. The staff was very friendly and efficient. They are mostly a hit with a couple misses, but certainly worth trying.

As I typically am not on this side of town, I went out of my way to find a new coffee house to try…read more Google identified several very quickly, but I wanted a spot that was not a chain, and not just a drive-thru option as for me, I want to sit, enjoy my coffee, relax a bit, or maybe do a bit of work. Grindhead is a funny little spot, directly behind a Dutch Brothers Coffee with a Caribbean/Pirate theme. So I walk in, and I hear from behind the coffee bar, Ahoy Matey to the sound of the Caribbean music playing in the background. The barista was friendly and helpful as we chatted a bit about the shop. I started with one of their seasonal offerings, an Eggnog Latte they called the Clipper. It was nice, but too sweet on the finish for me. That was on me for going that direction as I know the associated risk. Salt is a featured ingredient in a couple of their coffees, and as the barista had shared with me a recipe she makes at home that includes both salt and vanilla, I asked her to please whip up a latte to her home recipe.......now this was a real treat as the coffee, salt and vanilla worked in real harmony for a delightful drink. This shop is not really convenient for me as I have several good coffee house options in my own neighborhood, but I will be back, if nothing else I need to spend my dabloons.

My friend and I came here on a whim to check this place out. I haven't heard of this place before,…read moreit looks fairly new. This place is located in a plaza with a couple of other businesses so there's a bunch of parking. When we arrived, Bailey helped and picked drinks according to our taste. She's cheery and very friendly. I ordered some time of latte with Lavender and oat milk and my friend got the Crows Nest. I don't remember the name of what I got, but Bailey suggested my Lavender latte (with I think white chocolate?). It was some combination like that. Anyways, my drink was decent. This is a drink I normally get when I go to other coffee places. I love creamy oat milks and lattes, but this drink wasn't creamy enough for me. Also I felt like the lavender syrup was a little too sweet and potent. It overpowered the drink at times, it was just a little too sweet for me. I took a sip of my friend's Crows Nest and I was delighted upon first sip. It was delicious, not too sweet, and good. Maybe if I tried one of their chais or ordered that one, I would've had a better experience. There were so many good things about this place. I thought the coffee shop was cute with the pirate theme and decor. All the employees that we interacted with were wonderful. It's just my drink and the qualms I have with it. I'd come back to try their other drinks though.

We'll probably stick with our usual downtown spots going forward.
